How to add a server:
Before you start TF2, right click Steam in your toolbar and click on Servers. Go to the Favorites tab, click Add a Server, and type in the IP. Next time you launch TF2, go to the Favorites tab and select one of the servers that has people in it, type in the password (wang), and you should be good to go. Also make sure "Show map list" is unchecked in the bottom left. It makes finding servers stupid as hell.

    At ease, you wastes of skin. The Powers That Be have commanded me to write another short missive—I'm told it will be broadcast on some manner of punch-card tube machine and read by the thin, stupid youth of today, who evidently ignored my past instructions to stop wasting their lives and do more push-ups.

    When I inquired what this missive should contain, I was instructed only that it had something to do with an upcoming pagan moon worship festival, and that it should be "terrifying". Evidently, the youth of today enjoy being scared. Why? Because you don't know what real fear is. Get out a pen and write this in your poem books: I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach. If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America. The next time you visit your grandfather, take out your ipoot headbuds, pull up your goddamn pants, and ask him what a war is. If you're not standing in a puddle of your own Jarate by the time he's finished talking, you should ask him to start over, because you weren't paying attention.

    So listen up! An update will arrive later today. There will be ghosts! There will be exploding pumpkins! You will receive achievements and candy prizes! And by God you will be frightened by it or I will give you something to be frightened about!

    I have only killed one person with a pumpkin bomb.

    Getting all the candy for the paper bag is super easy as pyro, so I guess pumpkin bombs get to be super hard. I wish they did more damage.

    I still love how quickly I got the pumpkin bomb achievement. The domination achievement came pretty quickly as well and I got the costume achievement very easily by "killing" a dead ringer spy, but damn that Scared Stiff achievement took me a long time to get.

    I'm wondering though: if the achievements are only for halloween, does that mean that people will be unable to get a gibus after the event ends? Or will the domination rule still apply after, just without a related achievement?

    From what I can tell, you can only get it on the harvest event map.. which means once it's Nov 3rd, it's gone until next year.

    If you guys are lazy and want to get the exploding pumpkin one, and easy way to do it is by rocket jumping on the roof and shooting pumpkins as people walk by with the shotgun. It only works for the start of the round though.

    alternatively, create your own server, turn on cheats, add bots, turn on bot mimic, turn off cheats and reconnect, the bots will mirror your moves and you can put them next to stuff and get your achievement easily.

    bot add (spam this until no more bots can be added)

    Medic or Heavy. Either one will get you used to working with someone else in tandem/coordinating with a team.

    Or you can play Demoman and get shit tons of kills, this however comes at a price:

    your soul.

    CHOOSE WISELY.

    I love how some people describe demo as super easy and the newb class, yet they don't even play a competent demo themselves.

    I'd like any of you who don't play demo on a regular basis to just pick it up.

    Goomba I'm saying shut the fuck up before you even post, your opinion doesn't count.

    edit: what ginger said. Pick a class you think looks/plays cool and stick with it. There will be plenty of time for variety when you get bored of that class/have a bad day.

    I agree that people new to the game should eventually try out all the classes, but trying to play classes like heavy, spy or engineer without knowing the maps or fully understanding the game mechanics will only be an exercise in frustration.

    Get a domination on a specific person though, that's hard.

    Actually, I don't think it has to be that specific. Cause 1. Everyone seems to be wearing it at all times and 2. Even if they aren't wearing it, if it is equipped to one of their classes (even if they aren't playing it) it works. Cause someone got their Gibus off of me when I was playing Pyro and I only had the Gibus equipped on my Soldier.

    I can't agree with "so many" but I will admit SOMETIMES there are these funny streaks where detonating Sticky bombs midair as soon as you can gets a good amount of kills. it doesn't seem to happen that often in my experience, though.
