Now that TF2 is free do we want to make a play date or something?

[Fathom Zero]

I'm all over the Brass Beast, mfkrs. Y'all suckas don't even know.

That and the Syndey Sleeper.

[Fathom Zero]

I've acquired a Strange Conniver's Kunai, if anyone wants to trade things. I hate the Spy, and I hate playing him even more.

[Chojin]

is that the one that disguises you as the person you just stabbed? if so i want it

[Fathom Zero]

Naw, it gives you less health, but you gain whatever you do to an enemy via a backstab.

[Fathom Zero]

Someone's done put WETA in my Team Fortress.

[LordSappington]

Aaaaaand there went my framerate.
This is the first time an update has pissed me off. It pretty much cancels out the Engie, and the charge shot can one-hit quite a few classes.
I'm kinda mad

[Fathom Zero]

Anybody mad about this update is a whiner. It screwed up my framerate at first, but I just restarted my client and it turned out fine.

[LordSappington]

I'm not nearly as pissed as most of the other people I've heard, but I think these were a mistake. They're not nearly balanced enough.

[Fathom Zero]

Haha, you're cute.

[Guitar Woman]

This update is fucking hilarious because nobody realizes how horrible of a weapon that laser canon is. It moves at about two miles per hour and the Soldier basically has to completely stop moving for a few seconds to do any decent damage with it. It might as well be a giant sign that says "please headshot and/or backstab me as I am immobile and not paying attention to my surroundings"

I'm kind of relieved Valve did this, because before last night everyone was spamming the Liberty Launcher. Fast rockets with no splash are fine, and slow rockets with lots of splash are annoying, but managable. However, fast rockets with normal splash, pretty much for free, are some fucking bullshit. They have one less shot, I guess, but they're less likely to miss, and it only takes two good hits to kill most classes.

If the Cow Mangler pisses you off, here's what to do: Go Scout, then equip the FaN, pistol, and Atomizer. You now have a quad jump, which is almost as good as a jetpack. I basically wreck everything with this setup, and most Soldiers are whores for splash damage and can't actually hit a moving target.

Now that I think about that, the Engineer could get a jetpack.

[Fathom Zero]

I KNOW. They're the most easily dodged things in the game.

[Shyandquietguy]

I like the new death animation the update brang about! Plus the bison makes crowded rails a snap!

[executioneer]

my computer struggled to play this game before laggy laser rockets, now it's goddamn unplayable need a new pc

[LordSappington]

They just recycled the fizzle animation from HL2. I always liked a good disintegration, but it doesn't quite fit into the game.
Also, I think I have an addictive personality; the urge to buy keys is rising more every day

[Fathom Zero]

I was so unbelievably happy when I spent more than $40 on a video card.

[Guitar Woman]

Fuck yeah, I found a Brigade Helm!

[Fathom Zero]

Getting enough metal to get that thing with the epaulettes is hard. Fuuuuck. Still, beats spending $13 on the thing.

[MarioRPG]

This game updates way too much. I wouldn't complain if my internet connection was fast, but god damn.

[Fathom Zero]

[LordSappington]

I uncrated my first unusual today! Got a Solo's Shooter with a circling peace sign! Y'ALL GOT NOTHIN' ON ME

[Nick]

I fucking love the Original. That's all I use anymore.

[Fathom Zero]

I unboxed a Strange Boston Basher yesterday. I thought, "WTF am I going to do with this shit?" Then I decided to make it into the Server Clearing Boston Basher. It will be glorious.

[Nick]

You've found a way to use the Boston Basher without fucking yourself over? I've never managed to do anything other than suck and die with it.

[Fathom Zero]

Well, if you hit a teammate, it still counts as a hit and doesn't hurt yourself. I mainly just bash the shit out of Snipers. It makes short work of them, actually.

[Nick]

Really, I didn't know that. It would be easier to smash a sniper with it, but with most moving targets I just end up braining myself. Lately I've only been rocking the Atomizer. The triple jump is great, and if you have a Force-a-Nature with you, you can crank it up to a quadruple jump.
