[Team Fortress 2]: Towering pillar of bad opinions about hats

Adus

Finally got metal for a new hat and I craft a Tyrolean. Which would be cool if I didn't already have one. So I crafted it together with my final Texas Slim Dome Shine and got a... Stainless Pot. Not only is that lame but I also had that, too.

So I craft the two pots together and got a Hustler's Hallmark. That's pretty fly. I just wish I didn't have to craft away a bunch of hats to get it.

nealcm

don't worry

trading won't be available til 2025

and then GabeN will get his wish and TF2 will be a pay to play MMOFPSRPG

The_Scarab

You act as though this isn't some diabolical Australian scheme by Robin Walker.

I mean, the dude's fucking obsessed with hats.

undeinPirat

i like the stove pipe in theory

kinda

but the gibus just ruins it all

Rami

But the gibus is shit.

Kupi

I call the event hats, all of them, "shame hats". They are what I wear on classes that do not yet have proper hats. They are like unemployment benefits. It's nice to have and better than nothing, but you'd really rather not have to resort to them.

i do love the rocket launcher despite some people thinking it looks plain

but i gotta admit i am not impressed with the hat

I need that launcher and the hat so I can start yelling BELLOQ over alltalk and then threatening to blow up peoples' caravans.

But seriously what kind of monster do you have to be not to like the softcap

that's pretty fly for a little green ghoul guy

Bleh, my video card keeps making my game crash. Not liking this. It's not even 2 years old so I hope it isn't dying.

Aegis

Oh lord, that last game with the overtime caps happening again and again. And they weren't even a 2ft overtime capping but the entire bloody start-to-point cap.

That was hilariously bad. People on the Red team should be ashamed we kept extending the map in overtime.

Panama owns. Stash owns. Fedora is for manchilds(manchildren?)

undeinPirat

in real life, yes

fedoras are basically the manchildiest hat you can own

in the game though, i think fedora fits spy best

that or the billycock, but eh

Xenogear_0001

I think that's supposed to be Shepherd at the end, right? If so, that shit is creepy.

tofu

It comes from this

Xenogear_0001

That's way creepy. Also, she doesn't really show you her face, right? I never got her to take off her helmet.

EDIT: I just went and googled it. Don't know why I never did. Somewhat disappointing? But really, don't know what people were expecting.

I dunno, I still think the Ambassador is the worst pile of crap ever put in the game

It was decent until they did the first shot is 100% accurate thing to all pistols.

No, I mean it looks like shit

BahamutZERO

Wow, two crashes to desktop in 10 minutes? Yeah fuck you too, tufftoo.

tofu

I like to use the ambassador with the dead ringer

Getting headshots is the bomb

I've pretty much given up on ever receiving a hat via drop at this point.

Edit: and after all the time I've played I'm just now getting enough metal to be close to crafting a hat. Ugh

it's not like I don't like the guy or anything

but I've been gone for like 3 months and never seen him before and I joined the game and he was like "T4CT is playing T4CT you're on the wrong team"

and it felt like that awkward situation where someone says hi to you on the street and you say hi back but you can't remember their name

I'm in this boat. There's something very smug about taking down a sniper you've been dancing with from across the map. I'm sure people think I'm not being a very useful team mate but... *shrug*

This chart is cool

So 60% of players have no non-event hats whatsoever and then some of you have tons of them for some reason. That seems really odd.

I prefer killing snipers with the flare gun.

I'll be gone for two weeks on a canoe trip. When I come back, I hope you are all ready to summarize what's changed for me. G'bye!

that counts people who logged in once and then never played again

or who stopped playing before hats existed

and people who started playing after those hats came in

etc

Its not the entire playerbase:

Data sampled from 78112 unsuspecting players on Jul 17, 2010. Totals listed are representative of this sample, and not the entire player base. However, the percentages should be more or less accurate given the size of the sample. Numerical data is provided simply to give context to the data sample.

Its really surprising to me that 50% of spies use the C&D.

And 80% of medics use the Medigun.

What are people smoking

Daius

regardless of the details of the sample you have to atleast admit that a contingent of the PA community was utterly idlicious when it came to hats
