Aww, I liked Heilburger. Josef reminds me too much of Mengele to be funny.

Thanks for the clarification image. (I still might use 'Heilburger' as an insult from the Soldier.)

Oh finally, this thread was made. Now I can post my all-to-long opinion that very few people care about!

I like to think that each game in the Orange Box takes place in the same universe, just at different times. TF Industries started around....whenever Zeph founded it, then along came Aperture in the 1950's. Aperture went bankrupt in the 70's, and were bailed out by TF Industries or whoever. Then a bunch of stuff happened up to the events of HL2, and the Portal games.

Something in my gut tells me that they're not alone in that universe; that there's more games in the years between 1975 and 20--. A little part of me likes to believe that this all takes place on the same Earth that Lord of the Rings took place on eons ago, mainly becuase of the magic in HL2, and other things that cannot be explained with logic. But that's just my dumb and poorly-conveyed opinion. Have a great day!

>>11296
Hahaha, I'm sorry, "Magic"? "Things that connot be explained"? Explained in our paradigm of science maybe! That doesn't make it magic.

>>11299
By 'magic' and 'things that cannot be explained,' I'm talking about some things around the vortagon in HL2. My sister, who knows way more about HL2 than I do, says they use 'magic or some healing power.' (I've only played half the game, so I take her word for it.)

Rarity is only one of a number of factors when it comes to the value of a hat. The Hetman's Headpiece for instance is incredibly rare, but you'll be hard pressed to find many people shitting themselves over it.

Ellis' cap never had any cache value like Bill's Hat and the Buds do, it can still be received for buying L4D2 (I think?), although it can be worn by any class it only looks good on one or two of them, and finally it's just one of myriad baseball caps in the game. These all combine to make Ellis' Cap a low value hat, even now it can be crafted.

>>11292

Delurking just to say the Alien Swarm hat probably will never be craftable if Valve is smart; the game is from is free and it does not take long to get the hat, which means that players could exploit the system of rebuild headgear and just use the Alien Swarm hats, which means easier to get hats.

Lots of idlers would probably use the exploit so money should not normally be a problem.

What color is the hat?

I'd like to match my Monday night combat-socks with it. Naturally i could paint both Team spirit but and it would match Scout's shirt too, but i think it's a bit too bright.

Can i get the same colour as Ellis cap with the new team spirit-esque colours?

too much tf2

For some reason, whenever I see the number 144, I say 'ENFORCER CRIT!' in my head...because that's the damage it does on a crit. Don't know why I have it memorized, either...

captcha: should hiskerg. Hmm. Maybe if I do this 'hiskerg' method captcha is implying, I would stop doing this, or something.

I was lucky enough to stumble with a server in which cp_foundry was always on, and the people there (about 10) were all helping each other getting the achievements.
Thats how I got ma steam hat the day after the map got introduced.

I am not adverse to the idea, but know there are some servers (Sydler's Idle server, for example) that have a special feature that gets you all the achievements (except the last 2 of the replay update). You can see people get 5-7 weapons drop at the time (because of all them achievements).

I want in on this and I hope some other people will express interest as well.
I'm gonna have a hard time getting a few of the achievements otherwise, because I just don't know anybody on Steam.

Anyone else up to this? Should we try to set something up on IRC or something? Or actually, can you like schedule events on steam groups or something?

I'm not sure the conditions for specific voice responses exist for the Huntsman. They probably never set up a flag for it...

Same way you can't differentiate an environment kill from a telefrag in the kill feed, or the Ubersaw taunt kill from a regular kill.

>>11249
By that I also mean that all snipers will be saying this regardless of what they have equipped.

Also you should write lip syncing scripts if you feel like getting fancy.

Don't forget, the maps are all just covers for secret spy bases.

I wouldn't be surprised if everything was just sculpted concrete or something.

I love how windows don't even get a little crack when you shoot 4 rockets at them.

My theory has always been this: every time you see the administrator, she's always in her control room with cameras everywhere. and when youre playing, zoom out and view the skyboxes. these places theyre fighting in are in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. so i assume everything is set-up much akin to Portal. Which accounts for the synthetic buildings. also, the items (e.g. buckets, sheets of metal) laying around the maps dont move when you kick or shoot rockets at them, so i assume that they're glued or locked into the ground. just props. so possibly the engineer cant use them, as they arent made of functional metal?

DICKS EVERYWHERE

I know how hitscan works and Im good with shotguns and pistols but I still can't hit anything with Spy's revolver.

>>11226

Probably your aim.
Revolver is more precise and slower to fire. With the pistol you at least have the rapid fire and, depending on your class, 200 ammo. With the shotgun, the spread is larger.

>Perhaps one of the classes has finally plucked up the courage to propose to the Pyro. He/she/it has been waiting long enough.

There are so many delightful things about this statement, I don't even know where to start. I would have to invent new vocabulary just to describe how giddy this makes me.

>>11139
That actually would be a great idea.

>>11220
If it werent for a fact that we've already had a "vs Spy" thing.
