I'm gonna become a professional gamer cause I've got such mad skillz, homies!!!! My skillz be unmatch3d by n e of u foolz!!!!!!!!!

;) Nice mature response there. I never said you had to be a professional gamer to have skill at the game, you don't actually need to play it very much at all in fps games, a lot of it is just reaction time and hand eye coordination. Although I guess these can be trained. Just because you play competitively doesn't mean your trying to be a professional gamer, a lot of people just find it more fun because it requires you to use some intelligence rather than just mindlessly spam the crap out of each other on a 32 slot server :whistle: It is also fun just in the social aspect of being in a team.

Also playing competitively doesn't necessarily mean your good, you can just play matches in a group of friends for a bit of fun, so does that mean they are professional leet gamers who talk like idiots?

Last night I got a duplicate Axtinguisher. Tonight I got a duplicate Ambassador, and a Blautsager which I never had as I barely play Medic.

Last nite on the server I regular on, I got three (3) FAN's in a row... Three of the same damn thing... What the hell? I have 7 of those things now...

The only unlock I want now is the medic hat, then i don't care what i get.

Two people I know have got them and I've seen a few dotted around the servers I play on. So far seen the medic, heavy and demo. The heavy one is hilarious :rofl:
i saw medic, demo, engineer and scout with hats. interesting..

I've yet to see another player with the Spy hat. I feel unique! :D

I just noticed a discrepancy with the Huntsman. The Sniper character model holds the bow of the Huntsman with his left hand and the arrow with his right hand. However, the view model shows the complete opposite (hence why it's on the left side of the screen). Imagine how you'd hold a bow and arrow if you're right handed. You would hold the bow with your left hand, and the arrow with your right (see here). Has anyone ever noticed this until now? It's odd that Valve would make a mistake like that, unless of course they did it intentionally for a reason that is currently beyond my knowing. But I doubt that's the case. I think one of the modellers forgot to make it right handed by default. In any case, I hope Valve fixes it with the next update.

The Sniper is my number one class and it took me awhile to notice it. The Huntsman is a great medium to close-quarter weapon. It's great for moving in close to the enemy to get a few quick kills. Anyway, I hope it's fixed before I get too accustomed to it.

could we get some pics of the hats for people like me who aint seen them before?

I posted a couple of pictures of my Spy with the Fancy Fedora here. This link, however, shows all the hats.

The_Decryptor: That last screenshot is interesting, to say the least.

Relax, I wasn't aiming anything at you -- just teasing at the entire conversation. :)

I noticed it. I assumed it was to do with interference with the HUD.

That's what I thought at first. I went over to the Steam forums and it's a major bug. I'd be disappointed if Valve doesn't fix it.

:blink:

Not to sound rude, but that's just being so nit-picky it's not even funny. :laugh:

It's a bug with the view model, not a size or colour issue. I fail to see how not tolerating a bug counts as being "nit-picky". :|

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
