The current "dibs" are as follows, but they're by no means set in stone, most likely:
benhuberGAF
bombdigiti
Boonoo engineer
GAFBlizzard
n0b
Ner0h
notsol337 scout/sniper
pet
rac soldier
ReRixo ???
Spire
Striker
Twig spy
n0b said he should be able to play by Sunday, and I know Blizzard said he previously wanted to be heavy, so that's a tentative 7/9 we have.

bombdigiti and striker aren't on GAF

Though I haven't seen pet post or played with him recently, I HAVE seen him online playing TF2...with YOU boonoo....so, what's his status?Boonoo said:
So I'm going Engineer on this instant spawn all-crits 26p server right. Allows you to build 3 SGs, 3 dispensers, 3 teles. Basically it's a joke of a server and fun to fiddle around on sometimes. We're on the last stage of Gold Rush and I'm the only Engineer.
First cap just got captured and this guy starts raging about there being no teleporters working. I go, okay, no problem, here's one near the cap. 2nd cap is done, he starts up again, saying to move the teleporters up and stop straggling. Meanwhile the shit hits the fan, rockets and pipebombs are flying all over the place, so I just leave it there for the time being.
Eventually it gets to the point that every single time he dies and respawns, he has a problem with the teleporters. So I go, fuck it, I move it up all the way to where I KNOW it will be destroyed and eventually it gets sapped as I try to move all 3 SGs forward. Of course as I'm doing that, they all get destroyed as well. Less than a minute on the clock, I switch over to Pyro for fun and antics.
This guy then completely loses it, starts saying that I'm not a team player and that I should learn how to play. The fuck? Dude it's an instant spawn crit server, get the fuck over it. Why is the TF2 community great yet these douchebags slip through the cracks?

That is why I said that I knew you wanted to be heavy. I was just waiting for extra confirmation one last time.Blizzard said:I've called dibs on heavy like 3 times I thought.I had to be fast so all the BETTER heavies couldn't have it.
you might have been banned and not noticed it at the time

More like "Quick, throw in n0b the decoy!"Blizzard said:Sounds like you'll be our secret weapon.
"Quick, throw the LAGBOMB at the enemy players!"
If n0b gets stuck as pyro, that'll be pretty cruel.

They're going to start seriously selling comic books soon, aren't they?
It's funny when you think about it, that other than the mention of Mann Co. and Red and Blue on one sign, this comic has literally nothing to do with TF2 from most appearances, for someone who hasn't really followed the blog before. They're so enamored with Saxton now, they might as well make the Vs. Saxton Hale mode legitimate.
Edit: Huzzah!

Microtransactions, "Item sets,"
Edit: Only some minor cosmetic items are uncraftable, I see that now.

Somewhere I got jumbled and read that it was an 80/20% split, that was wrong, but there are some cosmetic items that can't be crafted still.

QQ it's not like you crafted all the previous hats. Especially not legitimately.Kulock said:

What the hell is with "QQ"? I wasn't bitching, I said I got confused on that. But you said all items were craftable, and that's technically not right.
The Degreaser sounds useless D:
Oh sure, I can switch my weapons faster, but it lowers my damage D:
What, do they want me to set on fire my enemy, then hit them with the hammer and heal while I am being shot at :/
Solder stuff sounds like its decent to take out sentry guns, Scout stuff seems usefulish, Sniper stuff sounds odd, Spy stuff seems like its very situational.

Pyro is a mix bag. I have to use a really weak Flamethrower (hopefully maintaining the compression blast), but I do pick up the 10%+ speed bonus.. which makes the Pyro about what.. equal to the Medic?
Of course.. with the defensive liabilities, and weak Flamethrower, circling Heavies is no longer an option, and you still can't catch up to a Scout (while now taking more damage).
The 'Natasha'-Pistol for the Scout, and Cloak regenerating Revolver look pretty smexy to me.

Has anyone been able to access their Back Pack or the Store? It keeps saying I can't connect to either.
You know, the fact that I keep the compression blast may make it more useful. The only thing I don't like about these "Wear all x" packs is they all have Hats as part of them.EvilMario said:
Item custmization seems nice. Lets fire up the game and take a look at it.
Gah, god damn School Comptuers, I don't know what sorcory they are using but for some reason all changes to my hard drive keep geting wiped when I log off the PC, which includes the TF2 I installed before. God damn it, I'll have to copy of the files over when I get home today, so I now have to Redownload the game.
Almost done though. Yay 13MB/sec download speeds.
