    They must've upped the hat drop rate lately... cause an idler just got 2 hats in one idle-spam of only 4 items. He got the Brigade Helm, Camera Beard, and 2 Razorbacks.

    I read that hat handouts went berserk right around the time the Gibus frenzy was going on.. something like 5 hats per minute.

    I think this has happened before, and Valve took most of the hats away.

    I saw Lustre get the mining light. I shouldn't be envious, as I have a hat of my own, but I still was.

    Not necessarily, random chance means stuff like that can happen, although Davincie mentioned getting the hat bug again like he did back when hats were new

    And speaking of Davincie, rak clearly needs to spend more time reading Dan Brown's best-selling master piece "The DaVinci Code"

    Oh neat, you can see achievement progress on the Steam community website. (Here's mine)

    How long has that been there? It wasn't there last I looked.

    It's only a few days old at most

    Days? It's over half a year old. o_O

    Oh, you mean progress for individual achievements. Well, that's new. It's just I remember comparing my achievements to other people's since I began playing back in April or so.

    No really, am I wrong to think that the 2 older guys (father of mann co dude on left and covered by sand-man on the right) are the sons of the gma (announcer)?

    The other 2 the blutard and redcumb are too young to be her sons.

    Keep in mind that if you idle and either not die or do it as a spectator you can build up more items than is possible to hold in an empty backpack. It's entirely possible that he idled long enough to get two hats (or just got lucky) and felt like keeping the Razorbacks for whatever reason. I routinely discard the items from the popup instead of selecting them from the backpack and deleting them.

    Yes, you are wrong. The page you haven't read states Blutarch and Redmond are the sons of the old man in the bed.

    The Blu and Red guys are Zepheniah's (the old guy's) sons. I don't think we know for sure if the announcer is their mother or not - he only calls her his maidservant.

    Well back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for the upper class to get with the maidservants, Thomas Jefferson being a prime example. So perhaps Red and Blue are bastards?
