Team Fortress 2 General Chat - Nice? Naughty? I'm the guy with the gifts - Games

[QUOTE=DrJarbot;38902596]From the comic, we can see Grey Mann's island. Anyone else getting that "Final Boss MVM map" vibe from that? And with the whole "Ah yes, the hail module( or whatever), my only weakness." thing when he is about to reveal the engy bot. Am i sensing foreshadowing here?[/QUOTE] Viva la Robolution!

Lol disappointment storm reaching critical mass

If anyone has naughty/nice crates they don't want I'd gladly take them. Also good morning GC.

[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;38903215]Even when the teams are even, all it takes is one pyro to run back from the frontlines and burn the shit out of you, and then boom, you're dead and the damage your sapper did to the nest is healed in a few seconds. Maybe I need to learn how to demo and just sticky-spam the shit out of everything, that seems to work.[/QUOTE] Yeah spy is less often the man for the job than demo is, much less often. I'd even go so far as to say Sniper is about equally useful in taking out engy nests as Spy is (in a pub).

The new weapons look strange and I don't get the theme they were going for with them :|

I'm finding TF2 pubs to be pretty boring. I don't think this is something that could be fixed by 6v6/Highlander but by silly stuff like 24/7 Turbine/Hightower/etc. On a related note Hightower is actually a fucking good map.

Well, let me just fix that. [IMG]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/e/ea/Red_Mini_Sentry.png/100px-Red_Mini_Sentry.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;38903855]On a related note Hightower is actually a fucking good map.[/QUOTE] Except for the part where 90% of the matches on it end in a stalemate, regardless of the skill of the players involved. Actually, that's pretty much payloadrace in general.

Gaaaaaah. Both my friends are holding me up. I just want to watch Soul Eater.

I'm not just saying that because STAR's said it, either, they are genuinely the most annoying thing in the game.

[QUOTE=IvoryJubilee;38903645]The new weapons look strange and I don't get the theme they were going for with them :|[/QUOTE] The new Demoman one would look good dressed as a Pirate Demo. The colors of the Engineer shotgun remind me of warning signs in things like Warehouses. Usually around high voltage things.

Anyone wanna save an Idea Tube from being crafted? I'd love someone to replace it with an Ellis Cap.

I am quite aware this is late, but... HOLY SHIT A NEW NADE LAUNCHER

Alright, here goes. After hours of buggering around, finally got that new graphics card put in. Going to see how TF2 runs with it.

Man does Serious Sam have some quirky one liners. Probably my best one: [t]http://toomuchgaming.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/mortal-kombat-deception-raiden.jpg[/t] "[I]I am a god![/I]" [t]http://origin.playstationlifestyle.net/assets/uploads/2009/06/serious_sam_2.jpg[/t] "[I]Praying to god won't help you now! I fragged him last Tuesday![/I]"

Should I idle now and get winter crates to open or wait until the update is out and get winter crates and a possibility of new items? I don't think the drop cap will reset again between now and 24 hours or whenever from now when the update hits, but you never know. Page King Jr. [IMG]http://frank.mtsu.edu/~vvesper/mlk.jpg[/IMG]

God damnit steam on linux why won't you launch my kf

is the icon for tf2 gone in the library preview for anyone else? [IMG]http://puu.sh/1D4jl/c1711d305566edc46ebe88b332a9f81b[/IMG]

I've got a few alts so I'm going to let one idle tonight, but if I didn't, I'd wait for the update.

I don't know why people think mini-sentries are overpowered. Sure, if you're a Scout or a Pyro with a flare gun you're in trouble (regular sentries kill these classes easy anyways), but Soldiers and Demos wreck them in like 1 to 2 shots and Heavies can tank them. It's not like anyone was complaining when people put lvl 1 sentries in bushes, they catch you by surprise but are easy to destroy too. And if you get pissed off that he keeps building more sentries then maybe you should just kill him. I guess most of the people who hate mini-sentries must be Pyro/Scout mains.

Mornin c:

Morning dear leader.

I love the smell of cardboard in the morning.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;38896655]December 15, 2011, the last two weapons he got were the Pomson 6000 and the Eureka Effect. [b]OVER A YEAR HAS HE NOT GOTTEN NEW WEAPONS.[/b] [b]Edit:[/b] Even worse is the Medic; the last weapons he got were the Clinical Trial set, at June 23, 2011.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Jordax;38896723]If you think that is long, try an explosive, damage dealing primairy for the Demoman. The last one was the Loch-N-Load. [B]That was on 17 December 2010, well over two fucking years ago.[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=AbeX300;38896743]Watch as the Smissmas Update gives us new Engie weapons, new Medic weapons, and new [b]explosive[/b] Demoman weapons. Wait, who am I kidding, they won't do that, [b]HA HA HA HA[/b] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Jordax;38897100]Well, Goodnight GC, here's to the update night.[/QUOTE] Holy fuck, I was actually right about tonight is the night, and the pure irony of the weapon types Abe and I were talking about that it was too damn long before we got a new one, finally got new weapons.

What's with the boxes

Some people of the GC dislike greetings and depatures. Calling them a waste of space. I disagree with them but that is their opinion on the matter.

It's not that they're hard to deal with in particular, it's that if one catches you off-guard say, mid jump, it keeps you in the air and because of it's range, continues to widdle down your health. Even if you manage to destroy it, it takes seconds for the Engie to put em up again. Basically, in wide open maps, they can be a huge strain on movement. To me anyway.
