Why are you still looking at this thread? You should be looking at the new update, the new items and punching hippies already.

You're so slow.

Also, I love Valve.

Though I do have to say... WHERE IS THE NEXT MEED THE VIDEO?!

Wow. That's... That's really, really nice.
The 'spend money to get an advantage' sucks a bit, but as long as you can get the stuff normally, I'm happy.

And I actually came up with the effect for Eternal Reward as well, way back, during the Spy update. Or something pretty similar. Remember discussing it somewhere...

All the stuff you can get by paying for it is obtainable as per normal ingame. Not with achievement milestones granted, but the items have crafting blueprints eg. the new rifle = Huntsman + Reclaimed Metal. Besides, exclusive items, maps, whatever as 'pay' features would stray into Korean MMO territory.

Looking at the store now:

WOW!

Gloves of Running Urgently
A Dueling mini-game (You pick an opponent and whoever has killed the other more wins.)
More hats

Wow, I am really tempted to drop actual money here. Still haven't seen prices yet.

The degreaser has faster weapon switch? That... hm. Sounds interesting for using the Axtingusher.

This is amazing. Valve found a way to create DLC without pissing off the consumer base for the most part. Everywhere I look, people are saying "Since I can still obtain these items normally in-game, I'm fine with the store."

You should see the Steam forums then... incredible, incredible amounts of rage, more than I've ever seen. But since the amount of rage goes up each update anyway...

Never visit a game's official forms. WoW, TF2, anything. They are always bubbling pits of rage, from what I've seen. Other, less stupid communities are okay with the store.

Trying to trade a hat as we speak. Not going well. I think because of server congestion.

I dont like the bonus for matching set of items. Since if the new items are balanced then that means the bonus makes them unbalanced, while if they are balanced with the bonus then individually they are too weak

Yeah, my loadout won't even load. -_-
