If someone's being a whiny rear end in a top hat about a videogame, call them a whiny rear end in a top hat. If they don't know how to enjoy themselves, call them something relevant to that. If you call them a "tryhard", all you're saying is "I think effort is dumb", which doesn't insult anyone but yourself.

Apologies if this has already been brought up. Are you guys aware of certain servers that can some how turn on "motd" which runs the ads in the splash screen? I just want to ask if this is a known thing? If it isn't I will give details and submit a report but I'm guessing not much gets passed you guys.

I have experienced servers that bypass it and still play ads but not this. I won't link it here because I don't want to give them free ad hits but I'll submit a report. Do I submit is as an "unlisted bug"? Jippa fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Dec 11, 2013 |

As opposed to the mediocre Scout and Soldier I'm already at. I'm sure I'd be better if my game didn't stutter occasionally and get me stuck in a corner too though.

Every time I try to blacklist a server, the blacklist current server button is greyed out. How do I blacklist the server I'm on when the random server button sticks me on a lovely server with obvious hackers?

Quit out of the server, go into the History tab of your server browser, let it load completely, right click the server on the top of the list.

Ouch, $100. I like dumb novelty chess sets in general (I have that goofy rear end Super Mario-themed chess set, for example), but I can't justify buying one at that price point.

Doesn't it also have wonky rules that deal with switching hats and isn't just straight-up chess? That turns me off of buying it along with the price, honestly.

Gotta say another problem is the class/piece selection. Heavy as King? Please, that's medic. Of course you run into the problem of having 9 classes and 6 kinds of chess pieces, but hey. It should be: King - Medic (the game-winning piece) Queen - Heavy (sorry, but he is pretty strong + a team should only have one) Bishops - Demo (Highly mobile) Knights - Soldiers (Highly mobile, moves funny because of walljumps) Rooks - Engineer/Snipers (dangerous over long straight lines, castle = sentry nest) Pawns - Scouts/Pyros (Throw them into the battle, weak, easy sacrifice, actually pyros would work better since W+M1 = Pawns can't move backward) No spy, he doesn't fit into the game of chess.

Hat traders mostly regard the physical goods as literal husks, to be thrown or discarded once you attain the dlc key, and sometimes to sell the physical goods for however much they can manage. I use every part of the buffalo however. Shitty Wizard fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Dec 12, 2013 |

I'm no expert at chess but I am fairly certain that most players consider their pawns to be more important for holding a position on the board than their queen; and I have been told it is sometimes superior to let your queen die to keep a well placed pawn.

I envision it like this: King - Fists of Steel Heavy - Slow, grabs the attention of the enemy team. Can be defeated when caught out. Loves the Medic. Queen - Kritz Medic - Can inflict lots of punishment, if you keep him alive. Very high priority target for the opponent. Knights - Rocket Jumper Soldier & Sticky Jumper Demo - Explosive jump over obstacles to stay mobile and engage opponents up close. Pawns - YER Spies - Weak, limited range, won't contest enemies head-on. Not very useful until he gets behind enemy lines to "grab a disguise." Rooks- Wrangler Engineer & Stock Sniper - Control over long sightlines. The tower can either be a turret or a sniper perch. Bishops- Stock + Cleaver Scout, Stock + Flare + Powerjack Pyro - Mobile, capable of ranged pressure, a preference for flank (diagonal) routes That said, I don't like chess enough (or have enough funny money lying around) to want to drop a hundo on this one, especially since I've already dumped plenty of money into collecting stuff like stranges and will likely drop even more in the future picking up killstreak junk as the price drops to somewhere reasonable

Had better luck as soldier with the jumper and equalizer and pyro with rainblower. So good to get a kill with this. I was really scared this was gonna be a video of you doing it to me (fat bearded man) on dustbowl last night. I was typing and when I saw a bonked scout come down the stairs I was backspacing as hard as I could "poo poo poo poo poo poo gently caress"

Backpack expanders are $1. I don't mean that as in "just pay real money to hold your virtual items!" I mean that as in "They shower you with garbage so you'll be inclined to buy backpack expanders".

It'd be great to have a more complex inventory sorting feature so that you don't end up with a big garbage pile where duplicates get mixed in all over the place. Something like "set all [x] class items to page [y]".
