Sprinter's Stopwatch / Trackman's Timetracker / Courier's Chronometer[/QUOTE]
I really hope this or Mnemo's whistle (though I would prefer his entire set) is added.
Anyone want to get me up to speed regarding this whole VLEK vs Emporium thing? Everyone sort of treats him like a running joke here, but he nevertheless reads the thread and wants to join the update and acts friendly. I personally dislike the style and concepts of pretty much all his models, and I agree that his use of jigglebones is somewhat gratuitous, but there's no denying the guy is skillful, and in any case the Emporium doesn't usually ostracize people for being bad item makers alone. What's the history?

If Valve were to add this to the game, I'm hoping that they would add in some sort of neat little extra that makes it actually track time (client-side, of course).

It's used by everything.
Alliteration is probably the most common naming convention, A is one of the most common letters, and Arsonist is the first thing that comes to mind when people need to think of a noun starting with A that describes Pyro.

Time for synonyms. Burners Brain-Bowl
Oh no, the dreaded triple alliteration.

I think alliteration works when it isn't forced. If it's hard to find a word that starts with the same letter and is relevant, then don't force one in. There's other methods one could use to make catchy names - try assonance, consonance or just plain rhyming.

This just a solo item or a set item?
if it's a set you should do a soda-jerk style milkshake from the 1950's

this is valve made though, and it's pretty complex
Though less than his
the brain texture itself isn't even touched much yet
most of the stuff making it look complex is in the normalmap

So the tombstone isn't turning out well.
Anyone got any ideas for weapons?
I was thinking a coffin minigun, but that has been done.

Adding on to this, if you need a melee weapon idea, try a damaged bowling pin, since bowling was popular, back then.
Also for a misc, maybe saddle shoes?

A giant holy cross broken off of a tombstone, maybe? I'm not very good with ideas, at least for weapons.

That could work.
I was thinking of doing a shovel, but I think that the cross is much better.
