There's a guide linked in the OP on how to take loadout screenshots someone will actually want to look at, by the way. i know this is only page two but your brown loadout screen thumbnail looks like everyone else's brown loadout screen thumbnail and a little effort can go a long way.

Having said that here's my loadouts from the last thread: http://i.imgur.com/APcj9U9.jpg truly the gold standard in aesthetic style and grace.

When I met Kory I knew her name sounded familiar but I couldn't remember from where. We were friends for the better part of a year before I saw that comic again and I felt like a moron for forgetting.

I don't know if I ever told the backstory to that but my friend liked to unbox and got a bunch of unusuals. I helped get him his ghost bonnet and Kory was always like "I wanna roll with the ghost gang" so in secret we made a pact to combine his hat-unboxing fortune with my market savvy to trade a Purple Energy Noh Mercy for a Ghost Tyrolean and then one night we were like "Do you believe in ghosts Kory Bing" and did the "wanna join my gang" thing and she was confused at first but then we gave her the ghost hat and I've never seen someone so excited about a hat and that's how the original Ghost Gang thing started.

One of my favorite "fun" loadouts is Direct Hit/Buff Banner/Whatever melee (usually the Half Zatoichi). The DH's damage boost fills a banner so quickly, and when you toot your buff horn your DH rockets suddenly one-shot Medics and below from all ranges thanks to your minicrits. The katana is there because it's fun when you pull it off and if you chop another katana user that will fill your rage meter all by itself.

e: Here's my nametags. The hit ding of a DH with pitchmod reminds me of the piano chords in this song, which is also pretty fitting and I like it:

Nice Johnny Cash reference. Do you have a third that's "The Whirlwind in the Thorntree/It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks"?

I had thought about putting that on a vintage melee weapon to complete the set but I dunno which one yet. I already have plenty of song-lyric nametags. Maybe the blue Pain Train.

Rutas is a lot of fun and can be a challenging server, but that is what helps you learn. I think it's worth mentioning the one quirky rule of the server is when an event posts and we're getting numbers we won't cap the last point on the map so that people joining don't have to load, join and then load a new map so if anyone says "don't cap" on the mic that's the reason why.

Here's the problem about the comic: it doesn't give any opportunity of a "teamwork" boss. I certainly can see the enemy brother's ghost screwing with you if you push the theoretical cart, but no "big" boss.

This is probably for the best because every other teamwork boss (HHHH doesn't really count since he's more of a directable level element than anything) turns a map into three people backstabbing the twenty people trying to kill the boss and one guy screaming over the microphone for everyone to have a truce and thus nobody gets anything done so long as they're in the presence of one stranger. An event without a truce would be a Halloween blessing.

Princess Heavy had a similar line but I didn't mind it on account of it being an unintrusive tongue in cheek mocking of the creepy manchildren who make up the brony community.

This is not that. This is basically putting fursuits in the game and saying "go nuts."

So there's costume transmogrifiers now, that transform your halloween costume pieces into different costume pieces (still random, but you can choose the class at least) this is kind of a cool idea but keeping it to costume pieces basically makes them worthless.

There's like a hundred new items in this update and the biggest slice of that pie is Pyro head replacements. I used a Demo Transmogrifier on a junky Medic hat and got the Demoman squid face. They work perfectly.

Amongst all the Pyro head replacements added in, I managed to get a hold of a Rugged Respirator. Am I missing something? Is there a reason this is Halloween-restricted? If it's a reference to something, then I don't get it, but it doesn't strike me as a very Halloween-ish misc.

The blog said they were going to ship items with the Halloween tag, and all the items they ship would be Halloween-only, so people knowingly submitted their items- whatever they were- to be included in the Halloween event.

e: Also is that minisentry ban my fault or did someone else put it on top of the tower?

The introduction of green and pink paint ruined this game's art style irrevocably. Show me something that looks good in lime and I'll show you a person who's deluding themselves.



But seriously though, green and pink are the awful crutch of the tasteless and the wicked epic troll alike. Also "art style" doesn't mean what people think it means, most of the hats maintain the art style quite nicely. The bright paints encroach on the color palette and some of the uglier hats stretch the theme but nothing "ruins the art style". It genuinely seems like the only reason people are upset about the unicorn hat is because someone somewhere enjoys it and these people have decided they hate those people and want to suck any ounce of joy out of their little lives that they can and that's really the saddest cry of outrage to come out of this game community in years.

I try to make my characters look like they'd be official alternate skins.

This is actually what I like to do too, like what would be a "level-up" version of each class. Suffice it to say I'm not overly fond of the new miscs that change the actual torso of a class instead of just adding to the trimming of it. Halloween is different, though. The rules are off because its all in the spirit of the season!

The bird heads and all of the new pyro head-replacements are, at least, scary enough to be Halloween items. The pony head is just a pony head, that's what confused me the most about it.

Why does it have to be scary? The Pyro has that whole cute dinosaur hood costume, the Soldier has a funny wizard hat and everyone gets a chicken hat. It's because there's a reference to a TV show a lot of people like that a bunch of gross people also happen to like, that's the only reason people are mad about the unicorn hat. They just dress it up like it's a game problem and not the actual problem they have with it, which is that someone they hate likes it.

Yeah, I think about 80% of what I got was for Pyro. A lot of the stuff in the update is cool and all, but it would be nice if Valve at least put a vague amount of thought into adding roughly equals amounts of crap for each class for these things.

It isn't Valve it's the community. Creative types love the Pyro because xe is the Derpiest character and the easiest to get kills with besides. The Soldier used to have the most hats but since the community market went up the Pyro has gotten like three new head miscs and a dozen goofy hats per update. Valve doesn't tell them to, they all make Pyro hats because that's what everyone plays.
