Neat, now whenever I try to connect to a server I am told I am in 'insecure mode'. Google tells me this is may be related to VAC bans, but 1) vacbanned.com tells me I'm fine and 2) I'm not a dirty cheater.

What's with this?

Someone on Hightower just tried to tell me to stop using the Gunslinger because "minisentries are glitched on hightower". Anyone know if and what that is about, or he was just being the usual whiny kid who can't aim well enough to kill a minisentry?

There have been glitches in the past with sentries and particle effects.. some texture doesn't load properly and instead of getting the muzzle flare from the sentry, and enormous cloud of red X's billow from the sentry every time it shoots.

I don't know if there's currently a glitch though. Valve updates have hosed it up in the past, but it's been fixed within hours. Anyone bitching about it I would assume needs to verify their game data.

I had this happen to me too but after I restarted the game the message switched to the "Server you're trying to connect to is running an old version of the game", so I think it's just that.

The scariest part about these books is that they AREN'T REAL BOOKS AT ALL! They're self-published! Feel the desperation dripping from their not professionally-edited pages!

When the servers unfuck themselves, could anyone give us a brief trip report on the new Helltower map? Specifically, are there any new death pits like the one in Lakeside_event? Are there any spawning Halloween presents? And if there are, is there anything new in them?

Yeah seriously, there's a couple of items in here I really like, but since they're only for use during halloween events, I don't really care about them now, and yeah, they were all pyro items.

Goddamn the pony head got in. :psyduck:

edit: one of the achievements is 'unlock 4 achievements' does that mean there's a new achievement hat?
