I didn't even notice the brain slug until you mentioned it.
I would have picked the Beanie or Plunger.
well, it's generally accepted that the Black Market Business pack will be in the next update, I've got my 4 refined saved up, and I want a numbered Capone's Capper BAAAAAD... sooooo, since people here are so cool, if anyone could be a good enough person to trade me one of the Black Market Business weapons after they start dropping, you will have my utter gratitude. Danke.
Also, congrats to everyone who got their hats in and those who got numbered ones (have we deduced how high the numbers go yet?)

[QUOTE=Simski;29657335]You can call it whatever you like, it won't change the fact that in sense of artstyle it has nowhere close to the same consistency with time period, the personalities, the colorstyle, and the subtle humor of the original TF2 artstyle. TF2 didn't use to be this wacky kids game you love today, it was a mature game with comical elements.[/QUOTE]
1. TF2 is not a kids' game. colorful graphics and wacky humor do not a kids' game make. just look at Super Meat Boy; wacky humor, cartoony visuals, but by no means a kids' game.
2. the original humor wasn't exactly subtle... the Scout smacked his ass as a taunt, the Soldier screamed and bashed his head with a shovel, the Pyro shot out hadoukens, the Demo flashed a crotch smiley face and burped after taking a swig from a bottle, the Heavy screamed out taunts and cheers while gunning down enemies, and the Medic prepped his gloves for a colonoscopy. it's wackier now, but it was no where near subtle in the first place. that was it's style; the visuals, the humor, and the characters were all loud, vibrant, and larger than life.
[QUOTE=lilgamefreek;29661046] Why is it the pyro has a parasitic slug and references a popular 90's comedic cartoon, when the other classes are played straight and serious?[/QUOTE]
First, I wanna say that I agree about some hats being off period and off theme. I have even modded my game to replace all unfitting hats (painstakingly, I might added, but it can be done if you put forth the effort). I also agree that the brain slug being green is the thing that I dislike the most about it.
But the Futurama thing keeps being brought up and it's really funny. This is because the majority of Futurama IS a spoof of 60s sci fi, which is totally in theme for TF2. The brain slug in Futurama is a homage to movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. So one could even argue that, in TF2, it's not a homage to Futurama but an allusion to the same thing that Futurama is alluding too. It's just the fact that it's green in a world of Red and Blue that makes it clash with the art style.
OH SHIT, DOWNLOAD INCOMING, WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE BRIEFCASE!!!
it appears to be moderately sized (Replay tookabout 15 mins for me, this is taking around 5)
oh god, what could it be... could I get my Capone's Capper... TONIGHT???
...
nope.avi
just bug fixes and such... oh well...
but yeah, I'm thinking it'll play out like this:
1. Saxxy Awards ends
2. Meet the Medic is released directly afterwards
3. massive massive update featuring allof the leaked stuff, new voice overs, and possibly even stuff missed the first time (Detonator? Detonator.)
I really hope after the Saxxy awards are over, all this replay stuff is removed. I don't hate it, but it is doing something to the community.

TF2 looks like a kids game these days. With a heavy emphasis on dressing up your character, with silly cartoon weapons, and vibrant colors.
Original TF2 was a lot more subtle than todays TF2.
It was cartoony, but it wasn't "wacky". It was like an adult cartoon, where as the current TF2 is more like a cartoon -adult.

Well artstyle paladin you have a good point. Is no longer so serious as before, but still funny.
It has gone well past the point where the artystyle will make sense. All I care about now is that its fun, and it is.

I mixed this up in replay today. Nothing amazing, as I just wanted to get afeel for how it works,and I have to say, I quite like it.
well done Valve, well done.
Simski you are pissing me off with all your negativity. You always complain, you always insult tf2, IN A TF2 FORUM, and you are fucking stubborn. I am begging you, go the hell away. You hate the game so much, STOP POSTING IN THIS SECTION.

Take a chill pill, you'll bust a vein if you keep doing that.
I thought I told you to stop shitting up threads a while back.

yeah i'm going to go ahead and ask why you still post here after you've made it extemely clear that you don't like tf2
unless you get off on complaining or something i dunno

Well, people will flock to the servers that are replay enabled, draining regular servers. Now I know there are some player owned servers that have it enabled, but the majority will flock to the valve ones. Some tf2 threads(that are made for content that isn't your saxxy video) will have saxxy videos in them. It's a neat idea, I like looking back and taking small clips of myself succesfully rocket jumping and hitting near someone whilst in the air, but it's sapping attention. The second major problem being that this requires major attention from valve. They'll be focused on patching things dealing with replays, and then judging and working with the contest videos (that's time taken away from balancing weapons, improving/balancing weapons, and developing new game modes).
Basically, it's taking a large chunk of the community, and making them focus on replays/saxxy awards.

For 2 weeks
then most players won't even think about it
[QUOTE=Banjo7J;29657995]Yeah, but the Medigun is more like a Primary than a Secondary for Medic. It'd be like if the Heavy got two minguns or the Soldier got two Rocket Launchers in the same update. And don't say MannConomy, Jumper doesn't count. It's not really a weapon you'd use in serious play. Unless you're insane.[/QUOTE]
The Heavy may be getting two miniguns in a soon-to-be-coming update.

another video I whipped up. joined server. match ends. this happens.
:I
you died looking fashionably well
[QUOTE=Grimhound;29666265]The Heavy may be getting two miniguns in a soon-to-be-coming update.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, forgot the Goalkeeper and the Mobster Pack Minigun were two different weapons. Although, frankly, that makes it weirder that two classes will be getting two unlocks for their main weapon slot in the same update.
Maybe some kind of teamwork update to promote combos?
[QUOTE=Allstone;29669949]Maybe some kind of teamwork update to promote combos?[/QUOTE]
I like this idea. Hopefully we get achievements promoting things for Medieval like Riftaxe/burning arrow + Axtinguisher and bushwacka + fan o war/buff banner.
Got myself a Croc Leather, non-crafted.
Are they worth anything?
They're new, so to the right person it's worth a LOT.
Selling a Croc Leather, 2 million dollars.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;29670935]It's by Royzo. It's worth millions.[/QUOTE]How dare you try and take advantage of him; it's worth billions at the least, and likely to rise.
Private Eye is ALREADY 4 ref? Seriously? Holy motha of god.
Wait, I didn't follow... Was all of this already implemented?
[QUOTE=Holy Altnir;29679156]Wait, I didn't follow... Was all of this already implemented?[/QUOTE]
A few of the hats from the list were added on Thursday
It's a fair assumption that the rest are coming in a few weeks for the Saxxy Awards
