Got the Summer Gear stuff from the big Summer Event on Steam. it gives everyone a pair of sunglasses (it should be noted that Assassin's sunglasses have a third lens over the third eye on her mask) a taunt that makes them slowly walk away from an explosion occurring behind them (it causes the Sniper to freak out and duck) and a summer-themed addition to their armor. (The Tank and Gunner both get grills attached to their armor, the Assault gets a bib with a lobster on it, the Support gets a beer helmet with Spunky Cola, and the Assassin gets a chef's hat, as well as switching her kunai and sword for a spatula and hot dog poker)
Worth all three tickets. Sorry for not telling you before, since it's now impossible to get.
(Also, I've been telling people this a lot, and it's going to bite me in the ass sooner or later: Assassin's Shuriken Launcher, when Juiced, can do absurd amounts damage to a downed Moneyball. Given enough time, a skilled Assassin, left unattended, can easily kill a Moneyball once it's shields are down)
Don't forget the Bayheimer Achievement for killing an enemy with explosives with your back turned to them! And thanks for the Juiceriken tip.
I guess I should post my Steam Summer Camp game progress.
Team Fortress 2 [PC]:Got the summer shades and some more Achievements. Getting that one for the ticket was a bit of a pain. I played a few rounds of 2Fort to get it. One with a lot of Mexicans, the other with a completely useless 10-year-old who had no idea what he was doing and somehow had access to a microphone. Killing him felt
good.
Monday Night Combat [PC]:Got the Summer Gear, and man,
those taunt anims are great. Got the Bayheimer and Ground Zero Achievements; modified my custom class to play Support.
Beat Hazard [PC]:Halfway through the ranks, 30% through the Achievements.
Spiral Knights [PC]:Installed and played it only for the Ticket. Played a few levels with a friend, got the ticket, promptly uninstalled it. At least I got
a TF2 item out of it.
Counter-Strike Source [PC]:Hadn't played CS in years. Yep, I still suck. Got the Ticket and 10 Achievements.
Global Agenda [PC]:Checked out the new Burning Fashions shop in Dome City. Nothing that cool. The only item that caught my eye were the sunglasses, but I'd just buy those from the vendor in the town in the desert for less.
Borderlands [PC]:Playing with a friend. He hadn't started Ned's Island, so we worked our way through it. Only mission left is the 250 brains one, but we only need 15 left which we'll pick up on our way to TK.
Saints Row 2 [PC]:Geez, this crap is completely unplayable without the Powertools to slow it down and the Gentlemen of the Row mod which fixes so many of the issues. The game is pretty damn fun and intentionally funny, like an over-the-top San Andreas, with more silliness. The character customization is great, too. I made one of my characters
look like Faith from Mirror's Edge and turned the other into
a Duke Nukem lookalike. I tried to make a Niko Bellic, but I couldn't get the mouth right. My buddy make an RE5 Chris for BOULDERPUNCHING.
The co-op system is pretty damn good. You just join the host's server and any progress you make will saved and will carry over to your single-player game. Some missions and activities are different when playing with two players. Some missions will have you each doing something different than in the singleplayer game. One of the pimping activities had my friend driving the car while Faith ho'd herself out in the back. Stay classy.
Progress-wise, we have the run-down mansion and have begun screwing with the Samedi and the Ronin, shutting down their on-campus drug ring and their casino.
