So..say if I wanted to trade some TF2 items to have a game gifted to me, what items would I need to trade and how many for a game? I have tons of items and crates and a couple keys, I'm looking for either a Portal 2, Deus Ex: HR, Lost Planet 2, Prototype, Assassins Creed II, or AC: Brotherhood.

Go here http://tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.com/ to find out how much your items are worth to traders in refined metal. Each refined is worth ~$0.90, so multiply the value of your items in refined by $0.90 to find out how much they are worth in dollars. Get enough items of value to match the price of the game you want. Of course this will depend finding someone who actually wants your items.

sigh no one can help me :(, guess imma uninstall this crap..

Sorry didn't notice your TF2 problem,

Solution:

1) Right-click on TF2 in your game library

2) Click Properties

3) Click the "local files" tab on the window that pops up

4) Click on the button "Verify integrity of game cache..."

If after all that it still doesn't work then just uninstall tf2 along with steam, and then reinstall again starting with steam.

Ever since the update TF2 is crashing every ten minutes to a half-hour for me.

At least you aren't the only one, thought this crashing was because of some driver issue on my front, I get crashes quit frequently as well, especially on 2Fort 32 player servers. It began happening after the manniversary update. Lots of rage on that crappy hat valve gave us from the experienced users I have noticed.

It was more-or-less stable prior, but currently it only exacerbates the crashing introduced in the Manniversary update.

Disabling multi-threading definitely seems to have helped. I've only crashed once since where as before I was crashing about once an hour. Hopefully Valve can push out a proper fix soon.

This game frustrates me, I don't know what it is but I can't aim worth a crap. It's also bull that someone can be almost directly in front of a rocket and be able to jump out of the way without taking damage, didn't know mere humans were faster than rockets/bullets. Also something that gets me is that some weapons are crippled in ridiculous ways. I don't know if there is some kind of lag but I can be out of the line of fire behind something and still get shot, the freeze cam shot of the person that killed me shows them in a different spot than I saw them. I headshot/bodyshot an opposing sniper and he would not take any damage until the fourth or so shot. I don 't get why I have so many problems yet others have near perfect accuracy and rarely miss a shot.

Looks like some connection problems, though freezecam shots are taken a little bit after the kill, as for the rockets, you should almost always aim for the feet, that way it's almost impossible to escape all the damage.

Maybe or maybe I just have no coordination at all. I thought I was fairly good with accuracy when shooting or sniping in other games but I have major problems with this game. I guess it will take some time, I've just started playing earlier this year, my first few or so weeks were spent playing on regular servers and after those few weeks I started playing on an idle/trade server.

Got to play the Halloween update last night. I love this map, but damn there are so many items now(have not played since just after the public crafting was added) For some reason I went on a hot streak with the sniper and was getting head shots like no bodies business. Wish this map was around longer then just this time of year as I love it.

I have a question, does the dead ringer and pocket medic get dropped by the item drop system?

Also the Dead Ringer can be earned by achievements. A total of 17 from the Spy Achievement table.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
