So once a regular round of Doomsday is complete, you get one of several cart based mini-games. They run with a Smash-esque damage system where you can ram and use special cart spells to hit enemy karters, increasing your damage %, which makes you fly further and off the map. Dying in kart game turns you into a ghost and you can respawn on touching a living karter of your team colour.

Transmogrifiers don't work on 2014 items and that's extremely bullshit since I got those ugly medic bird wings as my haunted strange.

Why do you care so much about the items, the main purpose of the event is to.. have fun? :confused:

I got a really cool vampire medic jacket, and it's strange and haunted, along with the fake wings to go with my bird head. Also I got the beep man! I'm pretty much set for this halloween.

I better be getting more Big Head Mode this year. Don't disappoint me Valve. That is all.

a wacky guy
There's 2, maybe 3 items I like or want this year, and I got none of them. The explosion head for demoman is amusing, and it does look good at least.

I crafted a macho man from my refined metal so there's an upside. The cart's turn too quick for me to get used to yet, but I'm gonna play a tonne of this map I think. I hope we get tradable versions of the items soon enough, I wanna be a beepbot.

Disappointed we didn't get the zombie shambling taunt, I would have paid actual money for that.

So go figure, something is crashing my server today. Doesn't straight up kill it but it stops it for a good 15-20 seconds. I think I fixed it but I'm not sure. I'll see what's up later tonight since it doesn't die during the minigames.

There's melee only mode where everyone gets shrunk with a big head, except the melee weapons are still full size and getting hit swats you into the air.

Also underwater mode.

Cool, I scored a Strange Haunted Ghost of Spy's Checkered Past. It counts carnival kills, carnival underworld kills and carnival games won. Guess I can switch it out with last years Haunted Dead Little Buddy.

The L4D Hunter set for the Scout is probably the best costume set of the year, I hope it has added voice lines.

Up against the wall
Whenever Valve servers reload the new map, it sends everyone in Civilian mode, and if the map is completed in this state the server crashes. Great.

Popped open my cauldron and found:

along with the spy Dr. Facilier hat and the Lil' Dutchman. I scoped out the matching parts in the store for the soldier set and the facemask with the whited out eyes is p spooky! Looking forward to getting the skeleton king demo set so I can cosplay as drunk scottish HHH whenever it pleases me.

When the big head spell hour starts all the minisentries people drop kill like half the team before they can move. Spooky.
