[Yukarin]

Gonna be selling my V Lugermorph, putting it up on here to see if anyone wants it before tf2outpost. Part of my Aya set, if anyone cares about the tags.

Looking for around 7~ keys, or equivalent in metal, which is about 17 refined.

Alpha, I saw a community lugermorph in TF2outpost the other day. 20 buds minimum, 50 buds max.

Yeah, there are quite a few variants of the Luger, and all the uncommon ones are highly collectible. The Self-Made Lugermorph is rather prestigious, probably due to the sparkle combined with it's tradability.

Sadly, I only have an average Vintage Lugermorph.

[Dr.Strafe]

P.S. Strafe I'm still waiting to get that frying pan to you, be online while I'm around more dangit! :x

Yeah. Work 'n stuff. I always seem to get home around an hour after you have left. I'll be lurking around during more "normal" hours for the next few days. :V

Your typical stalled game on turbine, when red was starting invade the intel. And then, this happened.

Ah yes, that spot. Typically you get one or two demos up there, sometimes more. Nobody really wants to touch intel with over a dozen stickies on it.

*runs in with the Short Circuit, runs away with your intel while laughing*

Actually, DR spies are great for when the intel is being camped.  Run in with it armed, pick it up and let the demos trigger the stickies, immediately uncloak and keep running with the intel.  It's even more effective with multiple spies working together.  You can basically keep the intel alive and inch it toward your base a few feet at a time that way regardless of what the other team does.

That's what you'd expect to happen, but unfortunately most CTF servers don't have that level of teamwork. That tactic only works if their team doesn't have an engie pyro combo on the intel, which is very rare on turbine. Generally the pyros will just airblast them back to the original resting spot of the intel and kill them if they make it past the sentry/destroy the sentry.

[Freyband]

If your spies are working well together, then why not just knife all the demomen in one quick shot (take out any sentries in the room since 9/10 demomen I see using stickies can't do shit with their other weapons. :l
And Alpha showed me a video containing the magic of using mouse+controllers on tf2 while charging. (sorry had also been shown pretty much the same thing with a steering wheel)

[Alpha]

And Alpha showed me a video containing the magic of using steering wheels on tf2 while charging.

Actually, it's possible to do it with a steering wheel, but how Lei Lei does it is using a mouse + Xbox controller. The result is more or less the same, but I'd imagine the controller would be easier to use.

[Gc]

How the hell does this happen


On another note, I like working with VGUI.

KNHUD has not been updated in a while so there's quite a bit of stuff to patch in.

• Replays [DONE]
• Strange weapons [DONE]
• Updating the main menu with post-F2P options [DONE]
• Some ItemEffectMeters
• FIXING THE ARENA MODE HUD (even if I don't like arena)
• etc.

[Romantique Tp]

Found this on facepunch.

[Alpha]

Found this on facepunch.

I was wondering when I'd see those two items being painted something ridiculous. Just as amazing as I expected.

He also kinda looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, if Dr. Seuss lived in the TF2 universe (Historic figures are... different to say the least)

Strange Part: Allies Extinguished

Well, this should be nice. Hopefully pyros will go out of their way to actually airblast people now...

[N-Forza]

Man, they had to go and add a strange Detonator after I went and bought one when they released it way back and even put a tag on it. Welp.

[Alpha]

I remember crafting mine minutes after the update. Even so soon after it updated, given that the server was under such a strain, it was still a 3XX craft number.

[Dr.Strafe]

Fixed damage to buildings applying on-hit effects such as the ?bersaw charge

Welp. It really was a matter of time. As much as I liked this feature, it really made things unbalanced. Besides, Shady was the only person I noticed that capitalized on that feature when it was in play. I only remembered it when I had my Blutsauger..

Strange Part: Allies Extinguished

Huh. I'll want to pick up a couple of these. I've been taking a liking to Pyro lately, and I definitely go out of my way to extinguish allies.

As for the new Stranges, I'll be looking into them as well. Tribalman's Shiv and Detonator will entice me into changing up my playstyles a bit. I hear Detonator jumping is fun. :V

[Esifex]

I hear Detonator jumping is fun. :V

Not only that, but it's handy for distance shots, too. You can't quuuuiiite jump as high as a Scout with it, but you can definitely get places people don't expect Pyros to come rushing out of.

Also, I am hype for a Strange: Allies Extinguished Degreaser, if that'll be a combo. It'd probably be the only Strange I'm interested in tracking; kill tracking just seems kind of epeen-y to me. I'm playing TF2 for mindless fun, not to shove my kill count down other peoples throat.

[Dr.Strafe]

I see where you're coming from. Yeah, there are many people that inflate the kill counter on their stranges to flaunt their "epeen" around. They'll usually farm their kills on idle servers to speed that up. Honestly, I think that's ridiculous.. but that's how some people are.

Personally, I like having the kill counters on my weapons. I mainly use them as a reference to see how well I use a weapon, or how often I use it. I guess I'm a bit of a stat-whore, but I generally don't care what other people think about my numbers.

[Yukarin]

what are posthumous kills

is it afterlife kills or something?

[Fetch()tirade]

I imagine it'll be afterburn kills, as pyro's the only real class that can do damage after he's dead.

[Gpop]

I imagine it'll be afterburn kills, as pyro's the only real class that can do damage after he's dead.

Or classes with weapons that do bleeding, or rockets that hit after you die.

[DX7.EP]

Definitely offers the Pyro more mobility. I use it mostly in VSH/FF2 however where the blast force is greatly increased, allowing for a very easy quick escape from Hale.

Posthumous kills - I think these are those 'X has been finished off by Y' kills, but I'm not sure.

[lumber_of_the_beast]

As well as pipe bombs. Huntsman arrows, too, though that's probably the rarest of 'em all.

[Freyband]

Posthumous = After death. X finished off by Y doesn't track what weapon killed someone (on an off note, a finished off tracker might be an interesting strange Misc item (like the gifts given one)). Posthumous is definitely one to toss on a flamethrower.

Nobody really cares too much about insane strange kill stats, due to the majority of them being farmed. I just like keeping stranges around for the classes I play most to see how many kills I get with each of their respective weapons.

There are, of course, exceptions to not caring about others' kill stats. When you can affirm the legitimacy of the kills, and the period they've had the weapon, those 17,000 kills seem a lot more impressive.

[Messiah]

I buy stranges exactly to give me motivation to play some especific class and to increase the counter of the weapons. Due to the stranges I pratically play with all classes regularly - except for heavy.

[Yukarin]

I love stranges because I love increasing numbers, and it helps me keep track of my overall skill on that class.

it makes me feel proud that my Knife and shotgun has 1300 and 750 legitimate kills.

This too. The strange scattergun I got actually motivated me to start playing Scout. I had barely played the class before I got it.
