    That's a nice hat.

    I think TF2 has almost lost me, unfortunately. I haven't had much fun with it since the crew disbanded, and the changes to casual quickplay are incredibly exploitable by users of the new and improved AssholeBox. Reporting seems to do absolutely nothing, so without the ability to votekick, the game is effectively theirs now.

    I'll still have it installed if anyone wants to play sometime, but I don't think I'll be playing by myself for a long time.

    We didn't so much disband as just largely quit TF2

    Well, I got back a few weeks ago after being at basic all summer, seems the game has gotten some changes.

    Not too sure on how I feel about them as my laptop cannot barely play it anymore.

    Well, the updates have certainly been interesting. Most are bugged at launch, but, credit where credit is due, Valve is pretty quick to fix them, and post fix the updates are pretty good.

    Merasmissions have been fun, and playing casual is generally a fun experience, except when hackers crop up. That said, the teams are usually pretty quick to remove anyone they think is hacking, so where VAC fails basic human decency picks up the slack.

    Can't wait for the new flamethrower when it's released.

    I got back into TF2 and just to make doubly sure, the wear and grade on the weapon skins wont go down the more I use them will they?

    They won't. They'll stay at whatever quality you left them at.

    No they don't, but there is something you should consider: Most of Battle Scarred to Minimal wear have diferent looking scratches (Or in the case of BS to FT, blood in different spots). Like for example, I had a Minimal War High Roller Medi Gun sometime ago, I sold it, regreted it, and I got another one, but in this case, the first one that I had didn't have the front part too scratched like the second one.

    The novelty's worn off. When can we go back to less than 4 Pyros on each team?

    I suppose when everyone doesn't need to play pyro to fulfill contracts.

    I wish more Pyros had the sacred knowledge I do. It appears I am one of the few who have learned the secret art of extinguishing burning teammates.

    Don't know how many people watch VNN, but after his video today, I feel like this is an accurate descriptor of the current mood of TF2:
