I just sold my Max's Severed Head for Fallout New Vegas and Poker Night at the Inventory

You are a god. Gman.

A god.

Say what?

...Tha...what?

Yep. I had a Max's head (the most valuable hat besides Unusuals), and found someone who wanted to buy it on the Steam trading forum.

So yeah, try get a Max's head. If you have an Unusual, trade for one as soon as possible because the head is only gonna go up in value.

TF2 does not represent a very good economy. Especially since it is dependent on the trade of purely aesthetic items. (Read: hats.)

"Team Fortress 2 Update Released
Product Update - Valve
Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Team Fortress 2
Updated some files, for no reason whatsoever"

Hmm....

Something to do with the festive crates, I'm sure.

You know I find it interesting that people have stopped crafting hats almost at all. Everyone just trades.

I get weird looks when craft huge amounts of scrap metal.

What the hell else are you supposed to do with the exorbitant number of non-hat drops that you get?

Got an extra Ze Goggles. Anyone wanna trade?

I'm surprised no one made a post about the new Christmas update.

Lot's of new weapons, I don't even know them all.

Even though I can say with all certainty that the Brass Beast makes the most annoying sounds EVER.

SO CLOSE TO CRAFTING A HAT HNNNNNNNNNNNNG

I had NO idea how valuble that hat was.
I sold it for three hats - DARN!

Soooo

What are all the new weapons? After the Christmas update I can't figure out what all of them are.

TF2 wiki is your friend.

Ehhh...that sounds like effort.

Clacking a link?

ಠ_ಠ

And then reading, and scrolling.

Oh man its endless. Even though almost none of the new weapons seem very useful at all. Especially the Crusader's Crossbow. Eff that thing is terrible.

That shit does insane amounts of damage. And it's good for people who are awful at using the syringe gun.

...doesn't the damage max out at 75? I'm pretty sure it does. Someone put two headshots on me across Convoy and I still had like half health left as Demo.

And if you're bad at using the syringe gun I can't see you being good with the crossbow. Its like having a syring gun that shoots slower, and has only one needle that flies even slower.

Crossbow is way easier to aim.

And it has no headshots. :I

And it's great for spy checking.

Really no headshots? I guess I sort of assumed it when I saw my ragdoll with two arrows sticking out of his head.

I personally feel like the crossbow feels easier to aim, but you get like 1 shot every couple of seconds where as with the needles you get like 10. If you hit with like 5 of those you did more damage than with the crossbow, and can hit a whole lot more.

The new weapons are a bit lame really.
Plus the Brass Beast is virtually the cheapest weapon in the game. I have a friend who plays nothing but the heavy with the brass beast - and he's literally impossible to kill unless you're a spy or a sniper.
The downsides to weapons are becoming just unimaginative - when was the last time you had your minigun spinning down and thought to yourself "Dang, I need to be moving faster!"

Eh, everyone always complains about the Brass Beast but I love when heavies use it. (Which is good, since like 70% of heavies use it now.) I just drop stickies when they start to spin up and then shoot grenades while they try to figure out how to run.

Unless they have a medic. And then I hate it.
