Really? I've always seen it as Dr. Kirby. Then again, I think I only started noticing you in the time since you got the obvious avatar.Drkirby said:

That your eternal reward I crafted is bugged. It has some kind of magnetic pull on an enemy's weapon, so they turn to face me right as I move up behind them. Maybe if I find a carpet somewhere and give it a vigorous rub before attacking
then I can reverse the polarity or something.
tl;dr I suck at spy.
and the knife as well

Next highlander match same time this Sunday. 3 eastern, 2 Central, 1 Mountain, 12 Pacific.
We'll probably do it on the GAF server; I have some tricks to get the password stuff working this time.
Trick number 1 is turning off ManiMod for the hour.
Trick number 2 is convincing Java to use SourceMod.
P.S. Java we love you for paying for this server; let us donate.

Number 2 is a no-go. There's some kind of issue preventing source mod from running correctly on the server, either installed from gameserver's panel or manually. I gave up on tweeking it after several hours. Mani isn't as feature rich, but it does what I need it to.Boonoo said:
I like keeping it donation free. Simplifies things and prevents a lot of drama. Plus there's no expectations. If someone were to donate they might want special treatment like mod or reserve status.
Blizzard said:
Oh god no. I don't want the temptation to buy keys. If I find any I'll probably just trade or give them away. Just show the other team what's what and that'll make me happy.
Twig said:
Also, just a reminder to you Boonoo, I will be out of town this weekend, so I can't help you guys roll the next team. ):
I'll be back for whenever we play after that, though.
Yeah, it should be fine. Bomb will be able to make it. It should be boring but quick. The playoffs may be a bit fun.
It's an extra $5+ a month. Java says he doesn't pay for it "out of principle."Twig said:

Apparently people are getting their entire steam accounts disabled for giving items to themselves because it's flagged as "Scamming"

All Steam products? The fuck?
"We are pretty good at determining whether actual fraud took place and also some types of not-really-fraud."
That's comforting. :lol Valve once removed my unlocks because they thought I was using and idling program, a few days later I received an email apologizing and given all items, even ones I did not have.
I will not make any big purchases on steam because I'm paranoid about Valve disabling my account for no reason.

Yeah, getting your account/items/whatever accidentally nuked is the big risk of Steam. I'm a Steam fan but I'm still aware it's there! By "scamming" I'm guessing they mean someone buying TF2 for $10, but then using it to farm and sell hats, or some similar odd scheme?Iadien said:
Boonoo, why would you have two TF2 accounts, you silly man.
Blizzard said:
Naw, by scamming I think they mainly mean 1) stealing account and subsequently stealing all the items off of it (which is happening now, so getting your account nabbed has that extra risk now--but it seems easily reversible.) And in truth for things like this I wouldn't mind proper action being taken if (and this is a big if) they can fully determine the party responsible.
And 2) cheating someone out of items by using a common "oh, i'll trade hat X for 5 items. Put up the first 4 then I'll trade it for the last one." Then they run off with your 4 items. For these sorts of tricks I wouldn't mind a system of timed bans from trading/inventory wipes etc.
(this second issue was the context that the above post was given in)
Account nuking for triking a kid out of his hat is completely bogus, though.
I ended up nabbing a second TF2 account when it was on sale for 5 or 6 bucks so that I could stick it on my team's roster if we ever need a ringer. I haven't actually used it for that purpose since it's technically cheating. But it's nice to have an account to share with friends and whatnot. I think I bought the Orange Box when it was 10 dollars for my mom's account a while ago, too. But since she uses it I can't farm items on it D:
Yeah, I got two back-to-back right before they fixed it. There was I think a similar period for the mask but it was much shorter. Maybe?Twig said:
I saved it for crafting if I got a second dupe hat but this is even better. I'll only regret trading it if/when they change it to let us paint beards.
I am a bit surprised there hasn't been a smaller update yet. Lots of bugs popped up in Polycount, but they haven't been fixed :/
Also, I could be wrong, but I think this picture of Mann Co was hidden someplace in the update and isn't old:

Hinting at a Scrapped/Delayed Mann Co. Payload map?

Maybe they are waiting until the other polycount pack is ready.
What major bugs are there besides the sniper rifle going through people and getting random crits? (if those are bugs) I know the new spy knife sometimes acts weird for me, where it plays the sound but doesn't do the animation stab.
Also, over the last couple of days I've had TF2 just freeze for a couple of seconds and then comes back, and that's something I never really recall seeing before, unless it's a result of me enabling multicore rendering recently. Yesterday it even completely froze up TF2/Steam etc. until I killed HL2.exe, upon which Steam became responsive again.
Also also, having two scouts with the $17.50 hat on the enemy team (yes I am jealous of their items) is super annoying. The extra health plus potential for their gun to do like 288 damage in two double-crit rapidfire shots makes them hard to kill for things that are not a sentry gun. I have trouble even with natascha if they jump around a bunch or get at close range so I can't see them.

That's a great picture. They have fixed some of them, though, haven't they? Like the overheal bug.
Don't you pick on multicore. Although I think I've felt that a few times now and then--it's like when steam is trying trying to reconnect, and it hitches up ever minute or so while you're playing.
In other news! I used this defrag method for TF2, and I think it made a noticeable difference in load times, etc. I'm pretty pleased with it, and now that it's set up I imagine I'll make sure to use it after every patch.
