What's the appeal of the Balloonicorn anyway? Why do people worship the fucking thing?
[QUOTE=Bapaul;46180872]That thing's got many more votes than ANY of the items I've ever made...
It kinda hurts[/QUOTE]
I'll go and vote up every item you made now!

take a guess at who it panders to
Didn't Valve explicitly say they will not accept any community items featuring the Balloonicorn though?

To be fair he could do some rough shit with flexes
But yeah people who don't know about models talking about models is annoying. I've noticed it happens in the emporium a lot lately too

to be honest it looks a lot better ingame than it does on the thumbnail
I can see even more smoothing errors there than I did in the thumbnail.

It looks like the front of the Pyro's face has been cut off and lazily glued on top of his head.
Thats exactly whats happened.
I don't even see any mechanism on the pyros raised face. I wouldn't be surprised if the raised mask doesn't even have a texture on the back.
Is it just me or is there now a lot of Workshop items pertaining to "<class> is a robot controlled by a miniature <thing>"? Has this genre of items become the new "Pyro Head Replacement"?
I swear I've seen two separate Engineer versions; one is basically an Engineer-arms-scarf that holds onto levers on the Engineer's chest and the other is a tiny-white-shirt-wearing-Engineer-inside-the-Engineer's-head.
Now this Pyro controlled by the Balloonicorn.
three isn't a lot

Were you not here at all for the progress on the Engie mini-arms one? It basically started the trend (I think), plus the one on his head has a team coloured shirt. No idea how you messed that up.
It's flexed to move his arms when the Engineer talks, no idea how you can be upset with that. It's pretty fuckin' neato

he mentioned the miniarms one in his post, also the mini engi head was made last year, and was remade for this year.
it isn't a trend, they're different items that happen to coexist well

No actually I wasn't. I was working, as is required of me in order for me to pay my bills otherwise I have no power or food, then I starve and die.

Wait a minute...I respond to your question ("Were you not here at all for the progress on the Engie mini-arms one?") with a truthful answer, and throw in a little joke about having to pay my bills otherwise I could end up starving and dying....and I'm somehow the bad guy? I work full time. I don't spend every waking moment on Facepunch because there are more important things in life that I have to worry about.
I'm going to re-state an opinion of mine that I've voiced here before: The only reason people "hate" me is because people seemingly think that I'm being a snarky asshole every time I post. Sure, sometimes I can be a snarky asshole when the situation calls for it, but in this particular instance, that is not the case.
I tell you, sometimes I love Facepunch because of things such as the TF2 Emporium and Major Update Speculation, and then there are other times that I just despise Facepunch because of stupid situations like this where I can't make an honest post in response to a question I was asked without people flipping out on me for doing so and jumping on the "let's all hate 404" bandwagon.
So in closing, I implore people to not jump to conclusions so quickly in regards to any perceived snark in my posts. Yes, I get that the way I word my posts and the words that I choose to use in an intellectual fashion can end with me being seen as "full of my own shit" but that won't stop me from posting the way I do.

Does it occur to you that you need to shut your trap once in a while, instead of blabbering off like a mindless gook?

i understand the whole i have a job thing was a joke but it really doesnt translate well through text and it comes off as rude
honestly it was an irrelevant statement. he asked if you missed it, you could have simply responded to that and not snarkishly joked about why you missed it

Blah blah blah, whine some more and take your racist shit elsewhere. I'm no asian (white male Canadian stereotype, hooray), but I really dislike having racial terms tossed at me.

Best way I can explain this is that I'm a "literal" type of person. I tend to overthink things (leads to long-winded responses) and I look at things from a literal viewpoint. If I was to post a correct answer to a question and someone was to come along and rate that post Dumb, the first thing that enters my mind is "How could that be considered dumb? It's a true factual statement".
Obviously it's a trait that some would say I should work on in order to be less....robotic I guess, and I've tried before, but it's just who I am. Jumping down my throat for it or publicly replying with stuff like "oh so THAT'S why everyone hates you" isn't necessary. Just send me a bloody private message and let me know that you think something I said was dickish, and golly gee, I'll up and apologize to you. I'm a nice person [b]if you actually get to know me.[/b]
