force of habit most likely.
Hmm, irrational impulse? Disappointing.
It's because everyone reads your posts in the voice of some manner of demon lord who is angry at everything.
The boxes are full of puppies and kittens and stuff to try and cheer you up. We only want to help :(
Does this mean I can do this now

Summer Jaw + Pyrovision + Reddit Hat is probably gonna get you the closest to that loadout.
[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;40150217]Wait they're two seperate items
What the shit[/QUOTE]
Because Reddit is so "Special" they get to have 2 hats that should've been styles to 1 hat.

Hats in TF2 shouldn't always be whimsical refuse from Sesame Street but they should NEVER be designed to be as GRIMDARK AND EDGY AND LETS ADD SOME EPIK SKELETONS HERE COOL GUYS LOVE SKELETONS as possible. Do you seriously want an S&M mask made out of metal with a skull painted on it just because it's ~different~? The Trained Killer style of the Villain's Veil is similar; it looks unfitting and is only used by epik qwiksc0ping CoD kiddies because they think it's cool.

Don't forget fists of Steel.
Well, I don't know how to make Reddit promos Anger Core related. :(
Am I the only who really doesn't even give a shit about the promo, and instead just cares how little effort was put into it?

I'm with ya, I really don't care if Reddit gets a promo or not, I just want cool stuff.
This isn't cool stuff.
The sad thing is, if they had a good modeler do this, it could have actually been pretty decent; it'd be great in any robot costumes. Much better though would have been some kind of weapon. Not a fan of the Dubious Downvote myself, but I'm sure some kind of funny reference could have been made whilst giving us a cool weapon.
Or ya'know, screw Reddit altogether and pay attention to the worksop. That'd work too.

at least that means there wont be many of those ugly things
I see little reason to really raise a stink over 'em at all. They aren't weapons with unique stats with limited availability, and I'm not a Redditor, so I'm indifferent.
It's more noteworthy and exciting that Valve's finally gotten around to fixing a couple visual bugs though, that bodes well for the polish of future content. Er, hopefully.

Reddit community is shit, and the hat is even shittier
TF2 team... I am disappointed that you did this

I wouldn't says that the reddit community is shit, but adding a reddit hat seems like a really weird thing to do

You know there are dota 2 hats in the game , that haven't been distributed yet.
For anyone wondering, here are what the hats looked like on Reddit:

And here are the weapons you could use on other commenters:

I want an S&M mask with a skull painted on it so my enemies will fear me. Some people may enjoy looking silly--others, like myself, want to look intimidating. I don't see why the game's cosmetics cannot swing in both directions.

It really doesn't look intimidating at all. Silly if anything. But eh, whatever floats your boat.
In other news, what if the Reddit hats are actually just a joke? They add them, look at our reactions and laugh and then remove them. Best late April Fools joke ever.

We already have a lot of fedoras.
also yellow letters nickname. yay. best birthday ever
I wouldn't mind another fedora if it was all-class and without any unnecessary gimmicks.
you gotta admit the hats and attacking comments with weapons was pretty damn clever. if only i wasnt asleep when the whole thing was going on...
I was really interested in how TF2 works with the Oculus Rift. This is a neat video showing a lot about the different options they've included in TF2. I feel like the whole thing would be just too disorienting/overwhelming for a game that wasn't specifically developed with the Rift in mind. Also seems like the ability to look around you even as you're firing in another direction is a direct upgrade-- that is, if you're able to play for extended periods of time without vomiting.

All we need now is calibration presets. It seems to be pain in the *** to calibrate it and if there is someone else gonna use your PC you'll spend plenty of time calibrating it back.
Also I agree - I would need someone to help me switch classes. I'm not that good in remembering my keyboard. Oh wait, no I won't. I didn't buy it.

So the Mythbusters even tested it? Neat. Kinda cool how you can move your head independently from the rest of your body, AND even see the rest of your body. I wouldn't mind trying one out myself.
On an unrelated note, I actually met Jamie and Adam once.
I like the complaint in the comment section about how it'll be game-breaking because you can shoot one way, but also turn your head part way around and see spies coming if they're uncloaked. Seems like this "benefit" is balanced out by the increased difficulty caused by the disorientation of having your aim not screen centered.
I wonder if there are options with Oculus to turn the head-turn-to-look thing off? Like, just let me control everything same as normal, but just see in VR3D. So then I can turn my head as I like but still be looking at my screen as normal.
