somebody /has/ to make a "devil horns" halo... for teh lulz.
It feels like high-school. If you do the right thing even when all the cool kids are doing something else, and... Wait, it's the internet: It's full of people who are physically or mentally still there... :facepalm:Nah, they're all to busy making giant 'FAG' or 'LOSER' words to hover above the people who didn't waste hours on end just for a simple cosmetic hat.

Awesome pic though
P.S If you want to start a flame war about that, go to the Steam Forums, or home as you might call it
I'm curious as to if Valve actually gave the idlers a devil-horns hat that had a small debuff (-5% health or something), if people would still wear them. Would the overvaluing of "rarity" be more important to players than a small gameplay disadvantage?
It'd become a badge of honor for idlers, and they'd use it to improve cohesion of a cult of victimhood, and make jokes about being like satanists kicked out by a puritanical god...
Amusing, but not helpful.

Meh. One way does make more sense than the other, both from the perspective of encouraging certain mores in a community.Almost as helpful as pegging non idlers as morally pure.
Devil's in the details. If someone hasn't played for more than three months, for example, I couldn't consider them important in the calculation. But really Valve has statistical data (however they present it) while most everybody on the steam forums has a fistful of anecdotes.The funny thing is they were all claiming valve's statistics were bull and that the majority actually did idle. and now?
Not sure about the movie, but the book sucked. Ludicrous sciencey bits, silly claims about ambigrams, and quite a bit of shark-jumping. I think the author did a bit better with his second book. (The Da Vinci Code.)So will this be a good movie?
