You know, I have a problem with the whole meta aspect of the mannconomy. Something is worth this many refined, or this many keys, or whatever. You know what the given value of any item is worth? How much the seller wants and how badly the buyer wants it. I gave up a bunch of hats, weapons, and I think a bit of metal just for a single Old Guadalahara. (Pyro's sombrero) Is that it's listed value? Absolutely not. Do I care? I'll take "Hell No" for 500, Alex.

(I did it so I could be El Muchacho)

Speaking of, according to Valve, Meet the Pyro is finished. Now they're just waiting for the right moment to release it.

Out of all the insane Gmod videos on YouTube, this one does make me laugh.

That was quite possibly the greatest video ever. They've outdone themselves.

You're in luck then. They just announced a weapons and items pack for the Pyro containing the rainbow flamethrower and lolipop.

The trick is, they'll only be visible to people wearing special Pyrovision goggles, which are being given away for free right now as Vintage, and will be obtainable by dominating anyone wearing a pair (Same deal as the Ghastly Gibus) after next Thursday.

Yeah I just played it last night,It's really funny because everyone has high-pitched voices and you laugh everytime you die. Problem is is that instead of being on-fire,your covered in glitter and confetti and it gets confusing when you're the pyro.

Other then that,It really adds some life to a couple of the maps.

Oh they also released a new gametype (whose name is escaping me now),but you have to bring a suitcase to a giant missle thing...

Yeah, Special Delivery. Kind of a cross between CTF, King of the Hill, and Payload. I tried it last night, it's actually pretty cool.

Yeah, it's been derping a lot the past couple days. That's just how it goes for big updates.

I tried verifying the cache and defragging the files. Neither worked. I really don't want to uninstall-reinstall.

Then don't, it would be more trouble than it's worth. The game just does this after big updates. Give it time, it'll work itself out.

And verifying the cache is often suggested about as frequently as rebooting your computer, with about the same results, that is, a rather remote chance that it's going to fix anything at all. All it does is check to see if there's any missing game files, and if you're game has been running fine for a matter of days, that was never the problem.

Wound up buying the Rainblower and a burning key. The crate I used the key on had a Strange Lolichop in it.

I am a happy Pyro.

I gathered up a bunch of friends and tried Mann vs Machine, and sweet Primus is it fun. Especially as a Pyro.

PURGE THEM ALL WITH CLEANSING FIRE! (insert manaical laughter here)

I joined in on some random game and the pyro was so fun to play as. I would await infront of the wall the bots enter in at with my "upgraded" Backburner and wait til they hop over the hill. Crit's from behind,extra damage,huge ammo capacity,health for every kill I got,I was INVINCIBLE. Not a single bot survived the start of the wave. Then a tank came and I had to rethink my strategy and start over next round.

Luckfully we had a good Engineer who knew where to set up shop with his sentry and dispencer so I could just Run,burn,refill,and repeat. :michaelbay:

Kritzkrieg Medic and Heavy pair together, the ultimate killing machine. Not even joking. A Kritzkrieg Medic pretty much decides who gets all the kills.

So, Mann Versus Machine is going well for you all? Good! I've been having great frustration (mostly with my team composition) on Mann Up mode, and some great fun on Medieval MVM, which is possibly the greatest non-serious game-mode the TF2 community has ever made.
All the 'bots have their classes' stock melees, with the exceptions of special melee 'bots, and Eyelanders rack up heads like no one's business.

On another note, I have just spent 35 dollars, ~4 hours and a good deal of my claim to having a life on a Strange Gunslinger.

(The whole $35 didn't go to the Gunslinger, I bought Mann Up tickets and sold them for 1.66 'til I got enough Metal/keys.)

And to think when I started this thread I was a F2P that thought that Gibuses and Quick-Fixes were cool.

Contains lots of blood and some foul language. It's also the most amazing use of Source Filmmaker to date.

I absolutely love this game. Best PC game I've played in my life. I rock with Soldier, and somewhat with Sniper. I only play Scout in some Attack and Defend matches, and Mann Vs Machine. Me and my friend always look up the most hilarious videos on Youtube for Team Fortress 2.

Here are some of the best ones I've seen:
1. Anyone seen "Team Fabulous 2"? Most hilarious video I have ever seen. (Only the first half is hilarious with mass chaos. You'll know when it reaches that point. Otherwise just watch the whole video.)
2. "Dat Inteliigence". Two silly spies go on a mystical journey to capture the Blu Intelligence. However, they get caught red handed. Who do they go to ask for help?
3. "TF2 Air". Ever wonder what it's like to ride on a plane full of Team Fortress 2 and other Gmod Characters? Well then, this video is just the one that explains everything.
4. "Moments with Heavy: Heavy goes Bowling" Heavy goes bowling with his team and who knows what can happen?
5. "Team Fortress 2- Yeah Toast!" Anyone like toast like the Engineer in this video does? Sing along to a catchy tune that he sings on his own, along with some deaths of a few people...
6. "Moments with Heavy: Heavy takes his Driving Test" Heavy finally learns how to drive, but is it the proper way? Will he succeed?
7. "The Vicious Cycle of 2Fort" Ever wonder what a typical day in TF2 Gmod's like in 2Fort?
8. "Scout Breaks his Fingers" What happens when Scout breaks his fingers....?????
9. "Sasha" Heavy loves his gun, who's the one who always teases him about that?
10. "Heavy is Telephone" Never answer a Heavy Phone... Bad things can happen to you.
11. "Need a Dispenser Here" Do you really need a Dispenser? Call the Engineers!!!

And then I'd probably go on, but you can look for more.


"No seriously, you all suck. If you order now, I'll go on a second beatin', absolutely free! Look at me Look at me! I'm running in circles around you! BONK."

Plus this is a message to all those Soldier Players out there! if you have a hard time rocket jumping, check out a video called "Rocket Jump Champion". This guy named STAR plays a pixelated game of TF2 where you're a Soldier and you Rocket Jump your way through, dodging spikes and collecting hats. It can get quite frustrating, but I was told it might help with Rocket Jumping in the actual game.
