How'd you get YOUR unusual? - Games

I'm not interested on buying crate keys and I'll never be, but if I ever get the chance to get an unusual, I'd like a Spy hat with "Flies effect" on it Just because I love reference hats: [img]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8716/thief.png[/img]

IRL friend gave me two crates, I told him I would laugh so hard if I got an unusual. Got it in the second crate. :v:

Why would I want one of those? The particle effects are obtrusive and ugly.

I'm trying my hardest not to care about hats and unusuals, but it's hard...

Got my first unusual on my first crate. Never got lucky again after that...

Spending 1000$ in keys

I got mine by... ...oh, wait. :smith:

That's the problem, they're not limited so soon everybody will have particles floating around their heads. It's going to get annoying. Good thing there's the beta.

I got my unusual from crafting a haunted scrap metal with 2 refined metals and a Scottsman's Skullcutter. :smug:

It's four refined.

Either I'm remembering it wrong or I wasted two refined then.

Don't have one and don't really look forward to finding one with much excitement, I don't think the unusual effects add much much more to hats, and I really don't see how obsessed people can be with it

They're appealing because they're rare. I like most of the particle effects myself.

Sucks to be irish :(

The only Unusual effect I like is flames really. And unless I got an all-class unusual I'd probably trade it for an assload of vintage hats or a Max's Head.

From a crate.

Meh.

With a WHOPPING 100+ votes... it's... Almost everyone!

But if you count the percentages, it's obvious that some people voted on more than one option.

[I]What[/I] unusual?

traded up to one. At one point, I managed to end up with a batter's helmet with searing plasma. Traded that for a sam & max set and a bunch of other hats, and traded those on for about 15 more hats (and then my bro started trading for nametags). In the end, I regret it, as I could have sold the thing.

[QUOTE=GastricTank;26523118]Which is why Max's head is increasing in value.[/QUOTE] I find the whole Max Head thing very strange. Most of the people like it ONLY because it's rare, not because they like the series, not because they think it looks good. I've met many people who just feel "It looks retarded, but I want it since it can get me a lot of cool things", and that is just the mentality that keeps it rare, and hard to obtain for the people who are actually fans of the game :v: I'd say I'm one of them though, I think the Max head looks just stupid, but I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it since I could probably trade it for several unusuals sooner or later.
