i think i have like 3000 hours in TF2 or something retarded like that, but 90% of that was idling for hats back when i had AIDS.

I got a 150 dollar hat scammed off me by a guy pretending to be an extremely popular hat trader cuz I didn't care enough to do the research about him... :eng99:

I had a stupid set of goggles for medic which I never play that looked stupid as hell and it had floating hearts on it for years and someone finally contacted me and offered 150 dollars out of the blue but then they just stole the hat.

I did at least enough research to see that the Market Value of the hat was indeed that much but I didn't bother checking the dude out. I had a proxy person who was familiar with Hat Trading helping me or something but she let me down.

how is that even possible

I wasn't really sure what I was doing so I just thought you were supposed to trade on good faith or whatever so I told the guy my paypal address and gave him the hat and then he deleted the steam account after giving it to his real one. lol

duh. i thought maybe there was another less obvious and more interesting reason

The gun gets in the way usually. Plus he probably came from Quake or something where you play with the gun off most the time as well. Though when I play it these days I put the gun on Ghost Mode so it's transparent grey cuz I like to see the model of the gun to make sure it's the right thing.

Outside of CoD TF2 has some of the most obnoxious gun models.

Agreed. QL had a gunmode 3 that was the most badass. Ghost gun ftw... best of both worlds.

I seen some footage of pro quake players and theyre looking at a game of nothing but lines and cubes, its completely insane.

Some people also turn off (or on I can never remember) vertex lighting so there's absolutely no perception of depth as well. It looks really cool though IMO.

Well they only play duel in europe now but in NA you can play instagib or clan arena. :witch: But the kind of cool thing is that almost 100% of the people who still play quake in the US go to QuakeCon every year and get like headbands of their clan tag. lol

Was Quake 4 bad. I never see anybody talk about it

It was in between Quake 3 and Quake Live so it just existed at an unfortunate time, plus I think it took a long time for the multiplayer to be patched enough to be taken seriously. The single player is alright and the multiplayer was about as good as you could hope a sequel to Quake 3's MP could have been so it wasn't bad, just mistimed I guess.

If you're going to be scared of McCree then you should be scared of Roadhog, Soldier, Ana, Pharah, and a bunch of other ones because they all have a way to stop a tracer and/or kill them in one hit if you let them.

I spent so long playing Widowmaker because I used to be really good at sniping in TF2 but I just done fell off and can't snipe anymore for whatever reason, and I was in denial about it in Overwatch for a long time. lmfao

God, TF2 is so awesome. It was p. mediocre at first, but once they added all the new poo poo it really took off. I'll never forget the day i bought my first Hat, t'was an awesome moment indeed. Thankfully the sprit of the new tf2 has been carried over lovingly by Blizzard to OW. Awesomeness as far as the eye can see. Too good, too good. Love this drat game. Waiting for the album to finish downloading (its a freemium compilation based on Movember) and now I just gotta grab some noms before the new tracer skins come out.
