Heh, I quite like it, but prefer the hats that are less 'huge' if you get what I'm saying. It's why I like the Trophy Belt and Mining Light.

Yeah, Hero's Hachimaki looks good on a soldier.

Got your Team Captain yet? I checked the prices today, it's really expensive atm :blink:

Heh, I do like it but won't try to get it. Would be nice if I crafted it though as I'm getting close to a craft. I'll be happy with almost anything to be honest.

Double drop rate for items this week:

Also voting is open for the Saxxy Awards finalists. Some of the videos I voted for:

Might also be worth noting the above linked blogpost has an icon of a yet unreleased Medic Syringegun item.

Also that the last time Valve did this was during the Golden Wrench fiasco, it has been rumored over the last month or two that there is something big coming; bigger than anything released before too. So we could be in for something big.

I'd keep an eye out on your consoles for any "GC sent new item schema; updating" messages too; Valve can now push new items or update existing items (At least, their definitions) into TF2 at any time. Just a heads-up incase Valve suddenly start making radioactive killer bonesaws or something appear out of nowhere.

Yes.

Meet the Medic is almost certain to come with the new big release whenever that is, the video itself is complete and has been seen by people who've visited Valve HQ.

The current rumor is that Meet the Medic ties in with this new "Raid mode" that was mentioned in a localisation-string leak from STS.

Something about the Medic operating on a Heavy to create a frankenheavy (which would be the raidmode boss).

I got a random drop of another Tippler's Tricorne, and crafted myself a Brain Bucket, which I love :D

I love the 'Badwater D' entry, and also 'Heavy Endorsing Guy.' Possibly my favourites.

Yeah, these 2 are awesome too.

I'm trying to sell this http://tf2tp.com/trade.php?trade=1719147 , if I succeed I will only need 1-2 ref to buy team captain (goes for 8-9 ref atm), if not I'll try crafting a Medic hat - biggest chance for getting Team Captain, if not, most of other medic hats can be sold with almost no loss :)

No random hats in double drop week for me :(

Something is going on: http://www.teamfortress.com/

Look at the doves. I saw a dove in goldrush a few mins ago. I passed it and was like "what the...?" then i walked near it and it just exploded. Others players are seeing them in game.

From a post in the tf2 forum, not my pic.

Strange. I saw one last night (about 27 hours ago to be exact) on Badlands perched on a rock near the middle point, and thought nothing of it :p.

Is there a game update inbound? Or is this just some ARG for Meet the Medic?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.
