[QUOTE=truegentleman;47706686][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/y2JMLkL.png?1[/IMG] “Ladies and gentleman, I introduce to you the future of practical engineering. The Wildly Rare Engineering aNd Construction Helper is an extraordinary tool for both at home and on the battle field. We at Aperture Labs find using a common household wrench unsatisfying. You know what is satisfying? Beating the hell out of stuff. So, after striking a deal with our Austrlian friends at Mann Co. we’ve created an instrument that gives you double the functionality of a wrench and all the fun of smashing things with a hammer. Now you can take your frustration out on the T.V and fix it at the same time. Using it on people does not have the same effect, but is just as much fun” – Cave Johnson.[/QUOTE] You missed an amazing opportunity to abbreviate "aNd" to just n'
[QUOTE=gigazelle;47707474]You missed an amazing opportunity to abbreviate "aNd" to just n'[/QUOTE] aNd I though I was being clever
So my flamethrower is a reference to the movie Blade Runner, and I like it "4 Seconds"/"How long do I live?" however I feel like the other two stranges of the loadout I use (Scorch and Scratch) have meh names and descriptions that also reference Blade Runner scorch - "Tears in Rain"/"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?" scratch - "I want more life"/"Fucker." :v: the edge I want some help renaming/redescribing (?) the Scorch Shot and Back Scratcher so that they reference other movies or television shows, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas. The only idea I've come up with so far is one for the back scratcher: "The Slapstick"/"Playing the game of cat and mouse backwards since 1940!" (this is a reference to Tom and Jerry and what happens when Tom steps on a rake)

I have a Holiday Punch named "The Bum-Puncher" as a reference to Jerma. Is this good?

Should I rename my spammy beggars bazooka "Direct-hit by Michael Bay"?

Before renaming my beggars (3 posts above), anyone can think of a smart Direct hit rename with "beggars" or something associated in it. This would be a really fun synergy.

You also don't have to list incredibly obvious references. You don't need to tell everyone the soldier's and engineer's names.
I dont really see how mentioning the references really help on how they make sense.
[QUOTE=Capt. Tin;47789744]Some of these don't make sense. You also don't have to list incredibly obvious references. You don't need to tell everyone the soldier's and engineer's names.[/QUOTE] The only one that doesn't make sense is the Sharp Dresser (well, "troll" spies often be like "bwahahaha i f***ed your back" but it doesn't really have connection with the song, only its title). And as you can see some can't find the connections even if I list the references. And I have met many people playing TF2 since 2007 and they don't know the names of the characters so I felt it necessary to note them.
