Look At My Hats!

After a couple of hours of failing trades after failing trades, I decided to show off some of my collections for my TF2 characters. Most of these pictures I took are my actual set-up, some aren't my actual set up since I don't play them as much, such as the Engineer, Spy and Heavy.

I just uncrated the Milkman the other day

The Milkman is cool, but it isn't as awesome as my Drably Olive Troublemaker's Tossle Cap, my first hat for my Scout

This is my "Oh shit I'm in trouble" Soldier set up where I leech health with my Black Box and if I have taken too much trouble, I run away via my Equilizer as I sport my Chieftain's Challenge which I got my trading my Team Captain (that's when I didn't know how much the Team Captain was really worth).

I got the Pyromancer's Mask just recently and the Vintage Stockbroker's Scarf brings the whole outfit together. For my weapon set up, I usually light my enemies up, airblast them into a wall and start beating on them with "Mjolnir".

My Pyro with "Mjolnir"

I have an Unusual Confetti Rimmed Raincatcher, but I honestly like my Prince Tavish's Crown more which I also just found in a drop yesterday. I usually use Demo as my mess around class with my Demo Knighting. But if I'm playing a serious game as him, I go with all his default weapons.

Heavy isn't a class I play much, but I equip him with his stylish Hound Dog that I uncrated a couple of days ago as he munches on his Sandvich. I usually go with his bear claws and Brass Beast when I play as him.

Engineer is another class I don't play as, but he's pretty much my Vintage class. The Vintage Texas Ten Gallon was the first hat I ever got. My Engineer is  my "gonna toy with you" class. I lay down my mini-sentry and go do what I gotta do as my enemy is distracted by my mini sentry.

I call my Medic "Dr. Nemesis" named after Dr. Nemesis from X-Men. I need white paint for my Physician's Procedure Mask to make it better and it would be also a lot more better if my Vintage Vintage Tyrolean didn't have the feather.

Sniper is my pride, all the hats I love are equipped to him (Vintage Professional's Panama, Vintage Trophy Belt, Anger, Desert Marauder and Ol' Snaggletooth). I traded someone for the Genuine Anger, and I don't regret it at all.  I painted it with Zepheniah's Greed in the mean time until I get either Noble Hatter's Violet or A Deep Commitment to Purple.

I just got the Desert Marauder a while ago when I combined my Refined Metal, I like the hat but it looks a bit weird on my Sniper.

This is my second favorite Sniper hat, every once in awhile I'll wear the whole Crock-o-Style Kit with my Sydney Sleeper, Darwin's Danger Shield, Bushwaka and Ol' Snaggletooth.

The reason I want A Deep Commitment to Purple or Noble Hatter's Violet is for this loadout. I want to make a Hawkeye themed setup for my Sniper. I'd probably rename my Anger to "Hawkeye Hooded Mask" or something like that, and get another Huntsman and rename it "Trick Shot Arrows"

Where's my Spy?!

Oh, there he is, just being cloaked is all. I don't play Spy much, but this is my oldest look for any of my classes. I normally have the Revolver, I don't even know when I changed it. I got my Vintage Camera Beard when everyone got one, I had two and I traded it before it become Vintage. But I really love how it goes with my Bill's Hat.

I really love how much you can change your classes items in TF2, and I especially love my Sniper's set up; I really want an Unusual for him, possibly the Larrikin Robin, I would love to have that on my Sniper. I'm really trying to get my hats to be Marvel themed, but I am not that great when it comes to stuff like that. So if you guys have any ideas, I'm all ears.

Uber Update - Day Five - Stuff Friday

This surely surprised me, I was just randomly checking the TF2 site and saw that the Uber Update is not entirely over. There is a new one today being called Stuff Friday This new update gives us:

• The "Meet the Medic" taunt
• The "Schadenfreude" Taunt pack
• Meet the Medic Lithograph
• Some new art in the art section

You can also buy a limited edition Meed the Medic lithograph over at the Valve Store, if its still available when I get some extra cash, this is going to go on one of my walls. I actually thought that yesterday was the end of the Uber Update, so I wonder if this is going to be the end or not. But the new Medic taunt is pretty great.

The "Schadenfreude" Taunt pack gives you the ability, for all nine classes, to point and laugh at your opponents, only available at the Mann Co. Store. The "Meet the Medic" Taunt is also purchasable in the Mann Co. Store.

Uber Update - Day Four - Meet the Medic

The video I posted in my last post was indeed the Meet the Medic video, and I'm sorry I'm a bit late on this, trying to get access to the Team Fortress 2 site was hell. But anyways, the star of the update got his chance to shine today with a new video and new weapons that are:

• The Quick Fix - Medigun Prototype
• The Solemn Vow - Bust of Hippocrates
• The Overdose - Syringe Gun Prototype

The new weapons are pretty impressive, it would have been nice if they offered some Battle Medic helping items; the Solemn Vow will surely come in handy at times though.

Along with the Medic's new arsenal, Valve has also announce that Team Fortress 2 is now free to play.

This will certainly cause a lot of uproar and people saying things like "I want my 20 bucks back." But hey, it is what it is now, and there's no way we'll be getting our money back. What would be neat though is if Valve gave players a neat item for having the game before today. At least everyone can enjoy Team Fortress 2 now.

I just also realized that the Engineer still needs his update, I'll be looking around the TF2 blog to see anything Engineer realted.

Is This Really the Meet the Medic Video?

So while looking through the forums of TF2,I found this. Could this possibly be the new Meet the Medic Video, it seems legit enough. The update should be here soon. But just in case this is true, here it is. I'm freakin loving it though. Either way, we'll know for sure if it's the real thing or not in a bit.



I just realized, at the end of the video it says that Team Fortress 2 is now free to play...forever. If this is true, then dammit. I'll keep you guys updated as fast as I can about any of this and see if it's this is real and if TF2 is now free to play; so keep checking back.

Team Fortress 2 Class Info

While checking the Team Fortress 2 blog to see if there is any news about today's update, I stumbled across a class info page; to get to this page, just select one of the classes on the banner. This info page gives the origin of the selected class, their role, a short description, a link to the wiki page, their "Meet the" video and their default arsenal with a link to all their weapons.

I thought this was a cool little thing they added, I believe it was added during yesterday's update.

Uber Update

The Team Fortress 2 blog has updated its page which includes the talks about the "biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2." The new update is being called the Uber Update which will include:

• "Meet the Medic" Video
• Week long free TF2
• An Announcement everyday till Thursday

It looks like all the speculation was correct about the birds being related to the Meet the Medic video. At long last Valve is giving us what we want, except for Half-Life 3 that is.

Meet The Medic Video?

I might be a little slow to the party, but lately while I've been playing TF2, I have been noticing that there are birds in the default maps. Don't believe me? Watch this video:



Along with that, the Team Fortress Blog has a new banner that includes 3 birds up top that are clickable.

 Hospital

Waiting Room

Doctor's Office

The file names for these are all hospital related, so does that mean that there will be something Medic related in the near future? The only thing that is missing is a Meet the Medic video, so most likely Valve is hinting at the video. That's my crazy and wild assumption at least, and I hope I'm right since so many people have been waiting quite some time for this.

Whatever is going on, Valve is planning on something like always and we'll find out soon enough.

Gang Garrison 2

Looking around today, I've stumbled upon an 8-bit version of Team Fortress 2. And it's pretty nice and entertaining for it being free, and it's not just free, it's an online game. It's pretty much just like TF2 but with just extremely toned down graphics. What I like about it is that it has all 9 classes and they do what they're suppose to do. You've got the medic with his medigun and the airblasting Pyro.

If you're interested in Gang Garrison 2, then head over there and download it.
