Why do I get the feeling you've never used it.
[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;47166818]Why do I get the feeling you've never used it.[/QUOTE]
I use it a lot but it never seems all that significant.
Crate #90 would be one the best crates, if only It wasn't for the Winger and Third degree stranges being in it.
Everybody knows these will just fall down in to the crap 0.33 Stranges nobody wants

I know the third degree isn't very popular, but isn't the winger a favorite among scout mains?
So I downloaded this again after a millennia and it won't launch. It just crashes when the intro vid was supposed to show. No errors or anything, straight to desktop. Windows 8.1 64bit here, dunno if it helps. Already tried -safe, -novid
No idea why, but just recently I've been getting consistent 300 ping where I should only be getting ~70. I wish I knew how to stop it, it's really obnoxious.
Rate this shit dumb to enter a raffle for a botkiller scattergun yo.
Apparently all the (few) fan skins for the backburner are broken
It's kind of sad
[QUOTE=bobxrawks;47158117]I play on DX8 so I cant even see any killstreak sheens and australiums look like chocolate to me :v:[/QUOTE]
That's not specifically because of dx8 but rather because of mat_specular set to 0. Setting it to 1 makes some stuff more visible, like ubered enemies or people who decide to play with a shiny gun which is a thousand times easier to spot. :suicide:

from the map room in the last point in badwater to that small balcony that leads to RED's spawn, and the area where snipers love to spend the round.
it is that good.
I really wish that Strange Third Degrees weren't so expensive.
Ok, so, remember when I talked about blocking an IP in TF2? Now my antivirus has blocked another IP but it comes from Steam and again while I was writing this.
On topic. Playing Pyro is a hard job, people will always find something to rant about your playstyle.

Everything will become cheaper after the week is up and stuff can be sold on the market and traded freely without the use of Gift Wrap. Just be patient.

The strangifier's already 25 cents.
I just witnessed the greatest thing ever.
Do you know these guys who think they're the best and try to deathmatch you all the time but keep loosing? In the end, they all go back to easymode and try to loch n load you. I just had one of these guys on a server switching to demoknight in the last minute of the round. We were about to win and our Medic started taunting with the Ubersaw around a corner. The demoknight charged around the corner, right into the Medic as soon as he pulled his Ubersaw back and got taunt killed. A few seconds later the round ended and that guy disconnected. I think the Medic didn't even get any damage, it was just [B]perfect[/B].

...oh.
.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I accidentally clicked CTF instead of Payload Race in the matchmaker. These guys are half adorably bad, half "have you ever played an FPS before?"
The Backburner definitely has its perks

It just doesn't work so well on ctf maps, but that's alright: I dodge that game mode as it was a plague

if you get someone to complain about your playstyle, you're playing pyro right.
Because we all know that the pyro's main focus is to make everyone's life a living hell.
[QUOTE=gigazelle;47179173]if you get someone to complain about your playstyle, you're playing pyro right.[/QUOTE]
Yes because playing degreaser - reserve shooter - powerjack at all times is the right think to do
Nobody complains about my playstyle (keep everyone I can see on fire at all times using stock flamethrower and scorch shot), and I'd say I'm doing things pretty right. Unfortunately I can't beat shotgun pyros with my loadout unless I melee (and am I really going to be able to melee a degreaser reserve shooter wm22m1 pyro) them.

I think pyros are fine and all, i just don't understand why they took the kind of close range combat and felt he needed to be one of the better long range too by giving him the flare fun. Tack on reflecting and he can situationally control a midrange fight too. It seems like valve felt he was ONLY good at close range, and thus felt they needed him to be more well rounded. All they really ended up doing is making a class that can control most battles by having an upside to every situation.
I mean, i love playing pyro. I just feel pretty cheap when i do because a lot of fights will end with me reflecting and destroying a crowd, me flare gunning enemies into fleeing back to spawn, or me escaping with a powerjack before they have a chance to fight. Seemingly the only times i'll perish is when they have multiple enemies pursuing me, which is pretty poor class design when it requires multiple enemies to take down.

In other words, you're okay with reserve shooter close range stunlock instakill and not okay with flare gunning someone at long range?

literally when did i ever imply that
[QUOTE=Punchy;47180022]literally when did i ever imply that[/QUOTE]
Because you said "I think pyro is fine and all" after I just said I hated reserve shooter/degreaser pyros. You quoted me, so I thought you were replying to me. You also didn't say anything about that cheap playstyle, and instead stated your opinion that pyro shouldn't have flaregun/long range ability. So I assumed you would rather use reserve shooter/degreaser instead of flare gun.
I'm probably just dumb, I mean I'm a pyro main after all
