I took a break from Portal 2 (amazing, btw) and played some Team Fortress 2 last night. It was a lot of fun, especially when there were 5 out of 6 players running around as scouts with baseball bats. BTW, not a fan of that Egypt map.
I hate it because every time I play on it it feels like it's going on forever.

No one has time for poor old TF2.
I'll be back. I played through the single player Monday and Tuesday. And then last night, Oreoleo and I plowed through the entire co-op story in straight session. I was really tired as we played late into the night and my skills dropped such that I was not contributing as much. In a level near the end he manipulated me almost like a puppetmaster shooting portals where they needed to go as I traveled with momentum. But we finished it up without resorting to any hits/walkthroughs.


I'm kinda sad that I already played the entire Portal 2 game now though. Will there be user created levels coming? Or is that it?

Today is my birthday! Clearly we must celebrate with free hat for everyone.

It says on the Portal 2 store page that there will be a map editor soon.

Also, I really need to start playing TF2 again, think of all the drops I've missed!

Dunno if you saw my post in the Portal thread but that was seriously better than any co-op experience i've ever had. In hindsight I can't believe we did it in one sitting, but it was so awesome it doesn't even matter.

Edit: happy birthday Blizzard!

Yeah, like the single player experience, I just couldn't stop playing. But it was actually the single player experience that caused me to be so tired . . . I was up until 3 am the night before playing the single player!

I do think it's pretty amusing that Portal 2 co-op seems to be modeled after TF2 in terms of aesthetic extras and the store. Although the Mann Co. store and stuff like hats has been hugely successful for TF2, so it makes sense that they would try to put it in other games. Since Portal 2's co-op is humorous like TF2, you have a lot of freedom to add in stuff like this unlike something more serious like Left 4 Dead 2. Pretty soon we will probably see updates like this:

THE ATLAS UPDATE
Added new game mode: Portal Race
Added pr_testchamber14, pr_factory
Added Magellan (level 15 portal gun: +25% momentum, -20% turret resistance)
Added five new skins
Added green and yellow portal paint
Fixed the game crashing when wearing the ninja skin
Fixed the game not counting steps when wearing Fancy Fedora

Also since some TF2 items crossover, I wonder how it will affect the value of those items. Something like Pyro's Beanie was considered a "low tier" hat for Pyro, but since it's wearable in Portal 2, one could assume it's value would jump up.

Yeah, that would be nice. Maybe we will, and just need to wait for a TF2 update. Cube Hat looks like it would fit the Medic quiet well.

FFFUUUUUUUUUCK

somebody on my server yesterday was offering up an ol snaggletooth for 1 reclaimed. Somebody else got it before me. fml.

Does anyone have a link to a table with trade values? I want to acquire some sniper hats.

Happy Birthday Blizz.

I am one of those rare souls who will not be playing Portal 2 at all in the near future, so I'll see if I can pop on the GAF server tonight.
 
Team Fortress 2
Fixed a crash on startup for Mac clients
Fixed class names/descriptions not showing up on the class menu
Fixed a bug that allowed the Crit-a-Cola to be used repeatedly with no cooldown
Fixed the character loadout panel not animating at the correct rate
Fixed the Sticky Jumper and the Stickybomb Launcher using the wrong skins
Updated the Grimm Hatte and the Pyromancer's Mask with changes from the community creators
Added more instructions to the Engineer training regarding metal resources
Added new styles to the Troublemaker's Tossle Cap

I have no idea what the CaC glitch was. Anyone care to explain?

Basically, people could just keep re-using the crit a cola over and over again instantly because there wasn't a cooldown set.

Clearly he is live testing the newest spy watch, which lets you phase though solid ground and travail though it.

trading anything really (looking for weapons i dont have like shortstop and madmilk)

You could craft it all together and make a hat.

Let us know what you are missing, tons of us just scrap all extra weapons pretty quickly, so we don't really know what you need.

That happened to me too, some times just trying to start the game will make it download the rest.

Sun on a Stick and Sharpened Volcano Fragment don't drop, you will have to craft them. Frying Pan was a promotional item, so most people only have a single one. They are fairly common, so you may find someone out there willing to trade it for a bit of metal. Iron Curtain is non-tradable, and can only be gotten by unlocking it in the Game Poker Night (It is just the normal Mini-Gun with a different look any way). The Two Jumpers can drop but have stupid low levels for drop rates (I think it is in the same bracket as hats), the easiest way to get those is to use the Fabricate Class Weapons recipes, which have a random chance of getting one (Both are 1 in 3 chances)

The mad Milk is a bit uncommon, but a normal drop, along with the Short Stop. I have a spare Short Stop, so the next time you see me on the gaf server I can just toss you it, if no one else can give you one sooner.



Edit: Anther topic has made me wonder about something. Was there any game that did the whole Spy Back Stab thing before TF2? Because now that I am remembering back in 2004 to 2006 at High School, our normal "greeting" with my friends were for use to sneak up behind one anther between classes, and back stab the person with a Paper Knife and simply say something to the effect of "Got you" or "Stab". Must of picked it up from some place though, even though the whole thing evolved out of one of my Friends making some simple Paper Swords out of a sheet of Paper, and us having mock swords fights to kill some time in the morning.

Heh, should of guessed. I could easily see one of my buddies playing some TFC at some point. That was a mans greeting though, nothing shows you care for a friend likely quickly sneaking behind them and stabbing them in the back with a fake knife.

I don't know the exact time frame or whether it was a mod, but Enemy Territory: Return to Castle Wolfenstein had insta-kill backstabs for high-level covert ops.

Ah, knifegoat sound effects. *sheds tear for the good old days*

Incidentally, that is basically the only game I can think of that had payload / payload race map types before TF2. Payload race (tank race) might have been added after TF2 initially came out though. I am not sure if there were ones that were pure payload, though. The main ones tended to be more "escort to blow up walls and make the final objective easier to capture", and then the final objective would be something that required dynamite to blow up, or it was gold that you needed to capture and escort to a safe point.

Or a combination in one case, where you had to escort the tank to blow up a wall, then put gold in a truck, then escort the truck to escape. Both the truck and the tank could be damaged, and the tank machine gun could be used to help the offensive push. Such an awesome teamwork game, but man at the airstrikes...

I could use any or all of two Jarates, Eyelander, Eternal Reward, GRU and Sandvich

A total aside but I can't believe the missed naming opportunity on the Fists of Steel. The other two gloves are soviet/russian security agencies, and the biggest one is the FSB. It should be the Fists of Steel B_____.
