I broke down and ended up buying something from the TF2 store, I was against it but I wanted to see what I had in 3 crates I had ended up with.

But hey, it was only $7.47, I know a guy who's spent over $100 on it.

What did you end up getting? My first crate ended up with Black Paint, second was a Shortstop. (Which I was actually missing)

My keyholic friend keeps consistantly getting paint out of his.

Yeah, I think I'll stop buying keys now.

Managed to get a Stout Shako out of one though, so that's 3 hats.

Also, Looking for Baker Boy/Tossle Cap, will trade Bonk Helm or another hat.

First item was a paintrain (way to waste $2.50), second was a name tag, third was the white tin of paint.

As you can't find that in drops, you did well in that one. I've spent far too much on keys now so I'm gonna stop for a while. I have around ?3.50 in my Steam wallet so I may open the next one and leave it there.

Also if this hasn't been posted, I'm posting it, if it has, I'm posting it again.

This guy clearly outdid himself this time. Amazing (Y)

I only went through the Frontline path. Still have yet to try Defensive.

Do vintage weapons have any power advantage over newer ones, or are they only valuable in terms of trading/collecting?

No power advantage whatsoever. You're right, the only difference is in terms of collecting / trading. All weapons/hats dropped before the trading update are vintage, all weapons/hats after are not.

Nope, it just shows that they were found before the Mann-conomy update.

PLus it proves you didn't buy it :p

I have to say, I use to play Team Fortress 2 just for fun, but since all these cool items came out I'm just a drop ###### :blush: . I was wondering if anyone here has a mac and is willing to help me get the earbuds? :whistle: (must be a known person in Neowin with a high badge) not sure how I will pay you for doing it since I have nothing but junk :laugh:

You can't get the earbuds from a drop anymore by using a mac. You can only trade for them.

    • 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  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
