I'm gonna become a professional gamer cause I've got such mad skillz, homies!!!! My skillz be unmatch3d by n e of u foolz!!!!!!!!!

;) Nice mature response there. I never said you had to be a professional gamer to have skill at the game, you don't actually need to play it very much at all in fps games, a lot of it is just reaction time and hand eye coordination. Although I guess these can be trained. Just because you play competitively doesn't mean your trying to be a professional gamer, a lot of people just find it more fun because it requires you to use some intelligence rather than just mindlessly spam the crap out of each other on a 32 slot server :whistle: It is also fun just in the social aspect of being in a team.

Also playing competitively doesn't necessarily mean your good, you can just play matches in a group of friends for a bit of fun, so does that mean they are professional leet gamers who talk like idiots?

Last night I got a duplicate Axtinguisher. Tonight I got a duplicate Ambassador, and a Blautsager which I never had as I barely play Medic.

Last nite on the server I regular on, I got three (3) FAN's in a row... Three of the same damn thing... What the hell? I have 7 of those things now...

The only unlock I want now is the medic hat, then i don't care what i get.

Two people I know have got them and I've seen a few dotted around the servers I play on. So far seen the medic, heavy and demo. The heavy one is hilarious :rofl:
i saw medic, demo, engineer and scout with hats. interesting..

I've yet to see another player with the Spy hat. I feel unique! :D

I just noticed a discrepancy with the Huntsman. The Sniper character model holds the bow of the Huntsman with his left hand and the arrow with his right hand. However, the view model shows the complete opposite (hence why it's on the left side of the screen). Imagine how you'd hold a bow and arrow if you're right handed. You would hold the bow with your left hand, and the arrow with your right (see here). Has anyone ever noticed this until now? It's odd that Valve would make a mistake like that, unless of course they did it intentionally for a reason that is currently beyond my knowing. But I doubt that's the case. I think one of the modellers forgot to make it right handed by default. In any case, I hope Valve fixes it with the next update.

The Sniper is my number one class and it took me awhile to notice it. The Huntsman is a great medium to close-quarter weapon. It's great for moving in close to the enemy to get a few quick kills. Anyway, I hope it's fixed before I get too accustomed to it.

could we get some pics of the hats for people like me who aint seen them before?

I posted a couple of pictures of my Spy with the Fancy Fedora here. This link, however, shows all the hats.

The_Decryptor: That last screenshot is interesting, to say the least.

Relax, I wasn't aiming anything at you -- just teasing at the entire conversation. :)

I noticed it. I assumed it was to do with interference with the HUD.

That's what I thought at first. I went over to the Steam forums and it's a major bug. I'd be disappointed if Valve doesn't fix it.

:blink:

Not to sound rude, but that's just being so nit-picky it's not even funny. :laugh:

It's a bug with the view model, not a size or colour issue. I fail to see how not tolerating a bug counts as being "nit-picky". :|

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
