Just wondering if anyone received "Stocking Stuffer Keys" as random drops? I started the game and it came up in the Alerts section.

edit: Yup, everyone gets one: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Stocking_Stuffer_Key

So, these free keys. I used mine on a random Festive Crate I found and got a Buckaroo's Hat.

I traded away both festive crates I had days before the keys were given away....I started idling thismorning with the double drops and according to tf2items I have a festive crate waiting to be put into my backpack. Hopefully I get something decent out of it, if so I'll post it here once I get home.

Even though I don't play Team Fortress 2 much anymore, I decided I'd go ahead and buy a couple of items while Valve has their big item sale. If you think you're ever going to want any of the items in the store, I'd recommend checking now since they're so cheap. I did it mainly to support Valve and the third-party developers, since we keep getting all these awesome updates with new maps and items for free.

(Sorry for the double post, forum won't let me edit that previous post.)

Well I got a second winter crate, used my key to open one and got the new demo sword :(

Though I did get the Boston Basher while I was idling, not a great unlock but you can get some really impressive jumps if you swing at the right time during a jump. You can essentially jump from the first to the third floor in cp_well if timed correctly, only losing about half your health which is quickly healed by one of the nearby health kits. You could easily use it to go out the back way on doublecross (you can make this jump without the FaN and without the boston basher, but it is fairly difficult unless you have great scout movement control, the B.B. allows anyone to fairly easily make it with a health loss) or go up through the grate on 2fort without being forced to use the FaN to do so if you wanted to. The health loss is a hefty price to pay for doing so, but the boston basher essentially improves the scouts mobility even more without really reducing his combat effectiveness (the scout has the 2nd weakest melee in the game, the only thing weaker is the knife when not backstabbing).

Think of it this way, anywhere you can get to with the FaN, you can get to with the Boston Basher, but it's more difficult to do so and it comes with a health penalty. But at the same time, you get that mobility while still keeping strong close range combat (via the scattergun).
