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

I have a pair of uncraftable dead ringers. I can give you one for free. It's pretty useless to me since it's uncraftable and I already have a vintage one.

Nevermind, seems you already have one. :p

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.

This year's halloween map is just a remake of koth_viaduct.

The map's alright. I prefer Mann Manor over this though.

The monoculus should have a special ability to automatically aim at snipers and spies over everyone else; these ****ers run around stabbing and sniping at other people (and sapping sentries) firing at the eye, and letting him get away. :crazy:


I AM A ROBOT I AM HERE TO TAKE AMERICAN JOBS!


Soldier has the best lines with his outfit on. Do the battlecry voice bind with the robot outfit to hear the "I AM A ROBOT" lines.
Demo has a cool wolf howl when you taunt. I just wish the pyro could wear a hat with his horns. Hottie's Hoodie + horns = :woot: . The other two pyro hats, the Last Breath and Apparition's Aspect are awesome.

I just notice the soldier is holding a fly swatter. A new weapon later on?

Yeah, last night I got kicked from a server for bashing people who kill other players when they are distracted by the boss ;), I think both teams should be unable to harm each other when he spawns.

Shame there's a holiday restriction on the robot costume, otherwise I'd get it.

I love the Portal reference though.

If you look at the restriction it also says full moon but I agree that there should not be a restrction of stuff you buy from the store even the silly noise makes.

I really want the Vuvuzela noisemaker.

I can't seem to get any of the gifts as everyone else gets to them before me. I came within an inch of getting a gift and then the game sends me back to spawn for some odd reason and someone else ends up getting the gift instead.

I think an admin just teleported you to spawn so they could get the item. It sucks that people would do that. Last year there were servers with around 8-12 people max and they would take turns getting gifts. When a gift spawns people looks for it and communicate to the other players its location and the person who is next in line for the gift gets it. It was hard to get into a server but a good way to get gifts.

You had it easy ;) Worst offenders include people kicking everyone from server when gift spawns, freezing other players, or admins using noclip to get the items. Best you can do is report them to Valve.

If I recall correctly, following the latest update you can report 'abusive' servers to Valve. :)

(err, mentioned above)

I'm really hating the gift thing yet again. Last year it was bad enough, but this year it's just ridiculous. I played for 6-8 hours or so and that whole time only about 3 people on the server got gifts. They ran across the map and got them all as they spawned -- I think they each had a zone pattern they'd run in a certain area so it was always them who got it. There were 5 times I was about to get a gift and each time one of them came out of nowhere to grab it.

At least I've finally been able to get some gifts on Mann Manor, since most people already have those gifts.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
