I was checking out the new items, and I really loved both the looks and the description of the Distinguished Rogue. I started thinking about my favourite descriptions, and wondering about other people's.

So, what are your favourite item descriptions? Just the description, it doesn't matter if you like the hat/misc or not. Descriptions of physical items from the Valve Store are fine, too.

Here are mine. It wasn't easy to pick just a few, there are many more descriptions I love. But I figure that's the same for everybody, and if each of us starts listing half the TF2 inventory this will be a boring thread. Let's only list our absolutely very favourite ones.

-Distinguished Rogue. This coat does so much of the heavy lifting to make you look like a sophisticated man of espionage, you won't need to wear anything else at all. Watch those heads turn the next time you attend a fancy gala completely nude except for a coat. So jealous. How about that guy calling the police? Is HE jealous? Yeah he is.

No comment here. Just perfection.

-Ninja Cowl. If there's one thing that the ladies/men love, it's mystery. And what's more mysterious than covering your entire face with a Ninja Cowl? "Oh my, I can't see any of that man's face!" they'll exclaim. "He must have a terrible secret I will uncover with my love."

I love how this description both makes fun of trite romance tropes, and outright states that Spy has male admirers. I mean, sure, that's obvious, but how many FPSs would openly admit that?

-Stovepipe Sniper Shako. This hat is perfect for the sniper who likes to hide in the shadows, then run suddenly from those shadows to go lead a parade.

Yes, that was the whole point of my second paragraph ^^. I've totally switched to the headcanon that Medic pranks his own respawn-able teammates (or, at worst, the Messangers; civilian deaths upset me, but I can't say that I give a damn about the guys who were going to assassinate Soldier and then threatened the Mercs' families).


Anyway, my comment was only meant as a short explanation for my personal reaction, since the previous poster had been wondering about the reason some people were upset. I am a bit concerned about starting actual discussions because I'm worried that people will end up fighting. Can we go back to the topic, please?

Here is another description I love:

<b>Demoman portrait poster</b>. <i>A lot of important people in the world have worn eye patches. James Joyce, Marie Colvin, that guy from Days of our Lives. There are so many people in fact that it might be worth making a Wall of One-Eyes in your apartment so you can keep track of them all. Let's start you off with Demoman, and then you can get that framed picture of Dangermouse you saw at the thrift store. This is important. We're counting on you. </i>

Lucky Shot-Let's see you do that again, Private.

I can only read this in Soldier's voice and I keep thinking up a hilarious scenario for the line too.

The Stereoscopic Shades-If you close one eye, one of the teams will disappear. So don't do that.

I admit putting on a pair and closing one eye, just knowing I did that makes it x10 funnier.

I have no idea what drives the correlations, but the results are always hilarious, occasionally eerily accurate, and every once in a while you get a surprising gem, too.

Jesus, it is pretty accurate, isn't it?

I agree. At the time, there seemed to be quite a lot of Sniper/Medic, but, come to think of it, I haven't seen much in recent months.

All I have to go on is my own preferences and headcanons for Scout's mom, and in my head I think she'd say no if Spy came to her and disguised as Scout for a fetish-y thing, but really, I have no idea. I'd like to see more background on her.

I do know she was mentioned again in the flavor text of the new Scout pistol, the mafia one, but nobody seemed to notice that.

I think it would be pretty cool if Valve went against the odds and just had a little moment between Sniper and Engineer. They kind of fit the 'Those two guys' trope and it would be pretty amazing if during a big scene they teased at Heavy/Medic and Sniper/Spy but then Mundy just suddenly takes Dell in his scrawy hairy arms and they share a small kiss and all the other mercenaries look really fucking surprised/shocked.

Was on Tumblr just now. The majority of people think this was a huge mistake for valve to put these hats out (especially the Medic "German commander" hat). Opinions?

I actually liked them until I thought about the unfortunate implications, and now I just feel uncomfortable...

Just noticed the old one is autosaging, so this thread is for anything not Demoman-related. For that, go to http://tf2chan.net/dis/res/12084.html I had a headcanon idea that was just driving me crazy and I had to spit it out. And it's going to sound stupid as fuck.

Scout's Mom is Carmen Sandiego. She settled down for a bit, cut her hair, died it black, and adopted five kids to give the illusion she'd been there a while. And ended up having three more kids on accident.

And that's part of the reason she and spy "get along" so well - because she knows him on more levels than one. Maybe she was even tempted to go out adventuring with him again? Who the fuck knows idkidkidk

If you have any other general headcanon ideas, go ahead - nothing can quite get sillier than that.

According to YouTube, Merasmus doesn't really have that dramatic magical voice, he's just speaking into one of those plastic echo microphones from the 90's. Also, he is the Monarch from The Venture Bros.

i watched Léon, The Proffesional the other day.

theres a part where he says that the better the assasin, the closer he can get to his target and how you start at the sniper rifle and work your way down to the knife.

because of that i now believe that Spy is actually a better sniper than Sniper is

So... since the other thread has saged, I shall continue here. So, I was on DA today, and a new group for TF2 popped up that I hadn't seen before, called TF2 necrophilia. I figured, okay, let's see what kind of artists and art are there. I wasn't all that disappointed that it's really mostly drawn in the necrophilia style- that's about what I expected, and not really my thing for TF2. But there's a list of pictures by character. And of course, Demoman doesn't have one (yet). Pyro has one, but it's empty (what a surprise). First three characters represented in folders? The usual suspects: Scout, Spy, Sniper. Now, not all the art was necrophilia-ified, and there actually was a picture of Demo with Heavy (I think). And Engie, Heavy and Medic (with Solly) were the next three folders. But... No Demoman? No Pyro? I was faintly horrified, but it holds true to my "Demoman is too many, too drunk and too black for most necrophilia fangirls" idea. Sad to see it confirmed, though.

I think it's hilarious when people in this fandom freak out over porn.
>> No. 13247

Depends on the reason. If they're freaking out because they don't like porn of TF2 specifically, or are horrified that men are being shipped together/might possibly be gay, they're idiots.

If they're freaking out about porn period because they're either very sheltered or grew up with very stern, religious parents like I did, it's understandable.

I just want to ask a few questions about the rules. 1.It says in the rules that memes aren't allowed on the site, do Sparkledog Central memes count or does the rule apply to all memes? The TF2 Kink Meme is a good example of a Sparkledog Central Meme because most deviant art memes follow a "fill in the blank with an answer to the following question/order above" formula. Which brings me to my next question.

2.What counts as a meme on TF2Chan? There are the obvious like lolcats, Rage Comics, and planking, but what do you guys consider a meme here so I know how to be careful?

and finally, 3.If you don't allow memes, then why do you have a Sparkledog Central Meme on your site? (The TF2 Kink Meme). Because if you don't allow them, it seems a little contradicting to have a Sparkledog Central Meme on the site.

I'm just curious is all so I don't do anything that can break the rules. I hope you don't mind.

(STOP. JUST STOP)

You know what? Fuck it.

This thread does not belong in /dis/. It is not discussion TF2 and would be better placed in /inception/, but really it shouldn't even be a fucking thread at all. You have questions about how the site operates? Write to a mod. Many of us have our email accounts in our posts and we even have an official Tumblr you can submit questions to.

And for God's sake, LURK MORE. You seem to be so absolutely clueless as to how the chan functions but if you actually just observed what other people are posting, you would not even have to ask these questions in the first place.

It is really not that hard and I don't know how much longer I can put up with this shitposting.

(I was unsure where to put this, so move it if it needs to be)

It's pretty straight forward I guess, what is your favorite track from the Team Fortress 2 soundtrack, and why? Which do you dislike? What about it do you like, and a why do you dislike a different one?

Personally, I am a fan of 'The Calm' and 'ROBOTS!' (MvM), 'Medic!' and 'A little Heart to Heart' (Meet the Medic), and 'More Gun' (Meet the Engineer). I guess the main reason is for how dramatic the songs get, and in the MtM songs, how 'crazy' they get, the faster violin and whatnot.

(Also, if anyone knows where tracks 14 through 18 ("Medic!", "Archimedes", "Dreams of Cruelty", "The Calm", "ROBOTS!") are located in the game files, could you post? the rest are in the ui folder)

Am I the only one who seems to suffer from Glossophobia (fear of public speaking) when it comes to voice chat servers? See, I don't have much experience with public speaking. the written word I don't have much trouble with, but actual speaking? that's a whole different ball game for me.

I've never been on a TF2Chan servers, I'm sure they're fun, It's just when you take my lack of time with the game mixed with Glossophobia and inexperience, you can see why I have some issues with Public Speaking.

So if you guys have any advice for overcoming my fears, I would love to hear it. because I would love to play with you guys someday.

Thank You Very Much, I feel better now.

And just so you all know, I go by Midnight Leo on Steam because truth be told, Jewel_Pandora is actually the username I use for my adult fan art and fiction. I go by a different name for my less racy work on Deviant Art and Tumblr.

I thought I'd tell you guys beforehand. Just in case.

If you are on a random server start by calling out game-related things (ie: ___ is spy or sentry ahead). When you get comfy with talking try asking how everyone is doing when you connect to a server. Congratulating everyone at the end of a game or thanking someone for something is a surefire way to make friends.

Thanks, Forky. I'm starting to feel better now.

I'll do my best to keep up with everyone on the mantrain. here's to the maintrain server, may it continue to serve it's many visitors in the future.
