Probably just means you are vey observant.

Anybody seen the new hat yet?

 

[Jakkarra]

Yeah, it looks OK, actually, for each Class it's placed differently upon the head, for example, with the pyro, it's in a similar position to the Brain Slug, and with the Soldier it's partially over his face.

Ignore the preview in the loadout screen, it's bugged there.

Thank Gawd, I was getting so tired of these few:

- Fixed Engineer bot infinite build-destroy behavior loop regression
- Fixed bot behavior issue resulting in bot pile-ups near level 3 teleporter entrances
- Bot Engineers will avoid building teleporters on steep slopes which can hinder teammate movement

Now Valve just have to make it so regular players don't do this all the time.

 

[Engineer]

The hat.

 

[JoshuaC]

Ugliest hat ever.

 

[VIVA LA NWO]

Ugliest hat ever.

Weren't you the one I told to leave with your opinions?

 

[JoshuaC]

This is fact.

 

[Fireman]

It looks alright on the heavy/pyro specifically, everyone else it's kind of meh.

 

[Retroid]

We don't need your sort here...

(Incidently you're both not wrong, the only character I like it on is the Sniper.)

Are you a scaly? You seem like one, you fursecuter.

 

[Retroid]

Yes I'm a Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, the most Yiff hating bird the world has known.

"Grrrr Yiffs"

 

[Penguin]

This thread is now about furry hate.

It's not as bad as the first one I found...

*Sorry, I have totally derailed this thread

 

[Pooluke41]
