What the fuck has this game turned into.
Click to expand...
-I get to supply GAF with super cheap items and keys in masse/at a discount
-the initial free-> premium purchase pays for itself and turns into profit in a matter of a few weeks
-i get 24 times the chances to get hats as drops per week.*
-same for per-account gift items like the recent manconomy gift box
-if i only count smelting average # of dropped duplicate weps its ~ 1 bills hat per week ($10USD)
-*leverage for funding my item collecting habit for TF2

-my current setup requires 1 batch file to boot 12 at a time to idle, set it and forget it
-with steam trade i can get all my items sent to my main idler to prepare for selling/smelting in no time

-if anything else i can paypal all my spoils per week into a paypal account made for buying new games i fancy on steam(or for saving up for the steam sales) without ever touching my RL work/earned money reserves throughout the year
-i do it for the lulz

I keep having TF2 randomly crash on me and give me something about hl2.exe not working. Is there any fix for this?

There are far too many things that could cause that. Probably has to do with the recent update though.

I have a feeling that the crashes were due to the items. I played for about an hour, and no crashes. The game is vanilla at the moment.

Oh, well I just started playing TF2 so I had no idea how common/difficult of a problem it is.

I feel like only considering normal Bill's hat prices isn't where the true money is to be found, considering I knew someone who I thought would like sell stuff for $50-80. I guess unusuals or finding crazy people on trade servers is key.

Hardware issues can cause that. Bad ram, video card, etc. But if you don't receive the errors in other games or the error just started appearing since last night, then it's probably the update.

So how the heck to do you initiate an item trial? I can't see it in the store...
edit: nm, I did not know you could only trial old weapons.. I guess that's a feature for f2p people then

Borgnine's playstyle.

edit: also, you're all idiots. There are PC bangs (rooms) in Korea where it's extremely cheap to log in and play any game that's installed on there INDOORS. I don't recall if you pay for time or usage...but I do recall it being easy for you to stay there all night long since it was cheap and they sold instant noodles there too. They make it so easy for Koreans to go on binges and kill themselves.

Yeef your stupid stats website for jerks is broken, it didn't register any of my Fallenhorns from yesterday. I demand restitution.

A big part of the stats plugin is a SourceMod plugin called superlogs and I had to disable SourceMod last night. Without superlogs all that's recorded are kills and the weapon used for the kill. Superlogs gets info on actions like banners and ubersrazorbacks and the like. It's why there are so many of the awards were empty for yesterday.

Same reason demos weren't recorded (a plugin auto-records when people play).

Apparently not playing in a long time wipes all your global awards... I am no longer the master of the Big Kill, Shovel, Detonator, and Frying Pan D':

Edit: Must've typed this as Yeef was posting above, d'oh.

Global awards are for the last 30 days. Otherwise, it'd be almost impossible for them to change hands...

I wasn't asking if it was profitable for you, gold farmer.

I was answering your question, its turned TF2s micromanaging game into a micromanaging game of its own...

...for both my benefit and the benefit of the GAFers who've gotten items from me at a discount or for free, you want some bro? Let me know when you aint mad thinking TF2 is WoW and I'd be glad to share.

free points.

After long breaks I play soldier to get back into the game, even though I rarely play as a soldier.

Edit: I don't even care to keep this going, so I'll withdraw my comment; I wasn't completely happy with the way it read anyway. You're still a gold farmer even if you help out GAF from time to time.

A few replays from the past week or so.

You've uploaded nearly 50 TF2 videos within the week. Are any really worth watching? Has your ISP sent you a letter asking you why you are uploading so much data?

I noticed this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8a1N-5PXEY&feature=channel_video_title

I assume the "Clyde" refers to me, but I have no idea what I did in this one. I don't even see me in it.

I think that video title has universal appeal and really could be the title of any video, even if you're not in it.

Sooorrrrryyyy, I didn't know the Pacman ghosts had names. I was FIVE when I played that game. I was probably too busy eating greasy pizza and spilling coke on the machine before memorizing the fucking ghosts' names!
