I noticed a notification from TF2 but was too lazy to read it. Cool I guess?

Wait...two Refined + token for a really rare hat, and 4 Refined + token for a not-so-rare hat?

Makes total sense.

It doesn't have to make sense.

It's TF2.

Well, if it's easy to get, it's not rare.

The word you are looking for is "new."

Hmmm...I assumed it was rare because of the ridiculous cost in-store.

Its funny how a game can get shittier over time.

I'm glad I stopped playing a year ago.

I wish I was rich enough to be good at tf2

So I thought I'd add €5 to my steam wallet and just buy a key to the crate I just got (simply to get the crate content and the 1st trade cap.), And what do you know:

Fuck my luck

And FUCK valve hard in the ass for just adding those crates... drops are hard enough to get, and when you get a drop you can only use by spending money it pisses me off more x_X

I'm liking trading, not liking the buyable hats... goddamn, now every rich bastard out there can look as cool as I do.

At least my hats are vintage.

Also, if a scout covers an heavy in Mad Milk and you as a sniper headshots the heavy while fully charged and full health, you're supposed to get about 312.5 HP (75% of 450 damage), are you overhealed that amount or does it just do nothing?

Rename the Hound Dog to

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH

As for the crates i'm on the fence. On one hand I hate the fact that you have to pay to open them. I think it's so wrong and crates dropping as often as they do is a bit evil, especially considering the weekly item cap.

On the other hand if crates didn't exist I wouldn't have an Unusual Tippler's Tricorne.

I got a name tag too, but I can't think of any good names.

Bought the Rocket Jumper too. I was a little sceptical about it at first, but now that I have it, it's awesome.
Great for fucking around with while going over a map or waiting for a scrim to start, or being a flying meatshotter in pubs.

I'm considering running DX9 just for the paint..
I like the look of DX9, but I hate playing with it for some reason.

Oh apparently the crates don't drop instead of items, but as well as items. On a different drop timer and everything. So good they don't take up drop slots.

I want a purple paint can and the pyro's brain slug!

Too bad I get drops about as often as the United States changes president..

Can the crates be traded away or crafted into metal without opening them?
