What I didn't do anything....

This is in response to certain people who play Team Fortress 2 and are insisting that comical add-ons are going to destroy the pure virgin soul of a cartoony FPS.

I had figured by the picture and the key words that something had gone terribly wrong. I like maps and maybe costumes for special occasions (like Halloween) but doofy hats....I understand completely.

Hats make the man.

No the penis makes the man...or the herm...

i think the elitists and assholes already do that ;)

Yes, Doom should be banned from playi-

Oh wait, you're saying something else.
Nevermind.

Oh Noes!

Not an Afro for the Demoman!

...Normal hats only club?

Wieeeeerd....Wasn't TF2 from the very start a comical FPS with black humor?

OMG! Teh d00m!

And this is why I got the 360 version of The Orange Box. Oh, sure, the updates are practically non-existent for TF2, but at least it keeps folks from running around screaming the sky is falling.

...It's mostly porn on FA, of course we wank.

... I think people are more complaining about the stats, hun.

Of course they are. The point of the picture is that people will complain about anything new with no intention of ever trying it, in favor of tirading about it- no matter how trivial. Ultimately, I could understand if this was some Blizzard game that people crapped updates into every six months and then told users to fuck off, but Valve is so gung ho on fixing everything to near-perfection that... I just can't really feel that concerned. If it breaks the game, it's not gonna stay.

Silly hats and stuff I could get behind. not too fond of new weapons though.

I must begrudingly admit that the scouts new weapons are kinda cool, but still, overall I preferred it how it originally was.

Great pic as always, even if it is just a doodle. your characters are always so cute.

I remember hearing someone mic-chatting, complaining that the water physics were totally unrealistic... :P

I want the BULLETS to wear funny little hats. : |

Someone has been watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" ;3

"Dum-dums!"

done to get that hat?

tis a cute hat, I think I wore one like that in college to make sure that my professors knew I was in class X3

HATS

Ok, maybe I should expound on that.

Optional customization is never a bad thing. Ever.

nooooooooooooooo XD

Oh hey! Now I can have something stupid to laugh at while I'm battin ya face in!

I dun't get it o,o

I think it's not as much the silly hats that people are bitching about, but more that the game is gradually taking on more and more and more RPG elements.

I mean, sure, TF2 has always had RPG staples like randomized damage, critical hits, and godawful hit detection, but I guess the general public didn't realize the connection until they added in a backpack for storing items and a head equipment slot. Yes, TF2 is officially a FPS slash Action-RPG. Or something like that.

Now, the folly among the bitching masses is really only that they automatically assume that adding more RPG elements to the FPS is inherently a bad thing, and they assume this because... the ignorant masses automatically are opposed to ANYTHING new and different, because without intelligence they just have such a hard time learning any new game mechanics.


On an unrelated note... Did they get that thing sent to you and your BF, Nori? And if so, did you guys get it all registered and installed and updated alright? *discretion!*

Very true, very true. It never was meant to be a SERIOUS FPS anyway.

And, er. No, we haven't received that thing yet. Should we have?

I thought so.. hmm. Looks like the "boss" wanted to talk to Chay first before sending over the you-know-what. Pff, well whatever. So I guess have your BF contact welovekah on AIM? *shrugs cluelessly*

Uh... okay? Specifically him, not me?

Yeah, I think so. Kah said he wants to meet him before handing over anything so precious as a beta key. Probably to make sure he's worthy enough as an MMO and superhero lover.

I tell you, so many things in life would be so much simpler if everyone would just take my word for things. But noooo, everyone wants to "see for themselves" or have "proof".

Well, I'm none too pleased that he hit on my boyfriend... but at least he gets to play. *grumbles*

Ah-hah. ^^; Yeah, he did strike me as the sort of "Flirt first, say hello later" kind of person. So I take it the key worked, and Chay is all registered and pretty much ready to go? Make sure he gets all downloaded and patched up by tomorrow night, there should be another playsession then. And tell him to look for me under this name in the special forums, or to look for Crimson Cougar in the game! Can't wait to see what kind of hero he comes up with. :3

Aha, I see that you've played a few blizzard games over the years.

From the gist of the posts here, I take it that valve is considering adding optional hat models to players?

Sounds odd, but fun and harmless.
Personally, I'd like an old-fashioned doctor's mirror-headband thingy for my sniper.
Then I could REALLY pretend to be a discount dentist :D

TF2?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/

Ah.

The only problem I have with this is that it will now be much more difficult to be a good sniper (the only class that would be affected by this), since now you don't have the same visual reference of the body, and it's going to differ depending on who has what strapped to their heads. Unless they make the hat part of the head.

Mmm... Hat-head...

*snickers*

Shit happens I guess

happy hat fun time

TF2 isn't one I've bothered getting into really, a lot of my friends like it though. Seems like many people take games (or just about anything else for that matter) too seriously sometimes.

Nori /w hat is awesome! ;)

cute ^^ *hugs*

They'll likely bemoan, they'll likely tirade, they'll likely march in a cry moar parade!
But like hypocrites true to their stripe and their stride
they'll play the game on despite prior hurt pride.

When the scary new thing proves to better than it ought,
they smugly boast they might not have made it but they had the same thought.
They do the same thing and history will repeat
no matter how many of their words they be forced to eat.

Which is why it's nice that you stand on your principals if just that.
My sincere apologies for this post, but I can blame your hat.

... That was actually really well done. :D

Thanks. XD
Nori does look all cute and curious looking up in his 'the hat'.

If you really hate that hats, play a sniper and shoot them. Duh.
