Roflex posted:He's on the wrong side of the map from where the arrow came from, and the arrow was red before the deflect. There's no frames of the arrow before the reflect though? There's a frame where you can clearly see the arc from it being deflected from where that sniper was. And a few others show off the huntsman arrow sticking out of the corpse. Latency makes reflects look weird.

If you don't have an hour in your day to watch the whole thing, I'd still highly recommend skipping to the mini frag videos interspersed throughout the movie at 17:48, 27:14, 35:18, as well as the grand final at 44:23.

I didn't realize there was a steam marketplace until recently... one of my unusuals sold for $110. I put the other up for the going price of similar hats but what the hell am I going to do with $400 in steam money? I wish there was a easy way to turn that into USD. I'm going to have so many (more) lovely steam games now  Also getting constant friend requests and spam from people seeing it on the marketplace reminds me of when I first uncrated them. Pleasssse stop spamming me asking me if I'll accept paypal random europeans

There are ways to turn steam money into real money, but it's very grey market stuff and you have an enormous risk of getting scammed. It probably makes more sense to just hoard that cash and go completely nuts on the next steam sale.

Dicky B posted:Yeah I do this quite a bit but I find gimmicky loadouts are only fun for a short while whereas picking the most appropriate class and playing the game as best I can against players of equal or higher skill is consistently fun. I guess I'm old fashioned Oh I agree, I think your quest for a chill place to play the game with people of equal skill is a noble one and I wish you success. I'm just saying if you're smearing a valve server it's a good time to try something stupid. On that note, I've gone back to my very first real love class in TF2: ~chaos backburner pyro~ and man I love it. The powerjack gets me into places faster and more unexpectedly and there is nothing like burning a whole push from behind starting with the medic. I occasionally use my airblast and I'm thinking I need to get a reserve shooter, since if I'm going to throw someone in the air and hit them with a shotgun I might as well use a weapon that makes it even more effective.

Okay upon closer inspection it was clearly a huntsman arrow, and the medic was mid-taunt anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9wykrjRaBY

One of them usually fills up between 7-9pm most nights and every time i've played crits have been set to off.

I'm just wondering what the swear in his name really is. It can't be 'friend of the family' since there aren't enough asterisks! What are some other swears that start with 'n'? Edit: Maybe he's a fan of plr_nightfall.

I might do a more detailed write-up on my thoughts on this later, but the gist is that it's really good and if nothing else, you should watch the frags, there's some really insane ones. Getting a chance to see what was going on behind the scenes was definitely cool too.

I'm trying to get rid of my entire inventory for this game for some benefit, considering I stopped playing the game around a year ago. Sadly, Steam won't allow me to sell some of my stuff in my inventory. Does anyone know where I can get rid of my items?

Things that cannot be marketed need to be traded for metal which then can be traded for things that can be marketed. -or- Arrange a backpack buy out with someone, but that's probably a huge hassle and filled with scamming risk.

Trading poo poo for metal, then metal to keys and then selling the keys seems to be the most straightforward method with the least risk for scams. There's a number of trading sites for item trading, such as backpack.tf.

I'm just trying to have fun Some asshat switching teams to votekick you because you are too good at killing them happens though. Any votekick is basically a coin flip. When you do get kicked it sucks, they were a jerk, whatever. There's no sense dwelling on it, just join another server and continue gaming.

Sanctum posted:Are you sure you aren't imagining a conspiracy against you? You really think someone is calling the 'tryhard cops' - literally getting their friends to join and put you down for playing well? Maybe it seems that way but those are probably people that just joined to pubstomp. Throwing a wrench in their plan is a noble enough cause. And decent players might be there goofing off already, but when you push them around they start to push back. Meanwhile your team starts dicking around if they weren't already because they expect to win anyways. It's all a very fluid, self-balancing process. How long does a votekick keep you off the server for, by the way? I generally try to votekick my friends if they dominate me and I want to know how long it's funny for

The last time it happened it was especially obvious because they were all giving me verbal abuse over voice chat. Believe it or not there are lovely people on the internet. I don't care if I get kicked from a server and I'm not dwelling on anything. Thanks everyone who recommended servers btw, Hampshire Heavies seems like the way to go since they're almost always occupied.

Dicky B posted:The last time it happened it was especially obvious because they were all giving me verbal abuse over voice chat. Believe it or not there are lovely people on the internet. Personally I'm sick of joining Valve servers and feeling the need to count the combat classes on my team before deciding to play. If less than 1/3 of my team is combat classes I leave immediately because gently caress that. Used to be I'd rarely feel the need to count, as long as I see 'a few' combat classes I'm good. Over half my team could be spies/snipers but I'm sure the other team is almost as silly. I've blacklisted every active west coast community server at this point so all I see are valve servers and trade/achievement/surf/dm_hightower NO CART CAPPING/etc. I can't even find a low ping MGE server to play bball on.  Valve servers are fine though. Whatever happened to Tiny Little Robots?
