I was Tricked into Paying $20 for a Fake Hat

People who have read the earlier posts should know I disrespect paying real money for fake hats in the highly popular game TF2.

Well, now, Tf2 is free to play. All the people who actually payed for it get a premium account (that costs about $0.99 for new users) and a free hat. Oh frabjous day.

I thought this day would never come, and yet it has. Oh well.

Yeah, I realize I've been posting too much about TF2. I'll stop soon. I've got some excellent posts coming your way, peoples. And Philosophical Gangsters Episode One is nearly complete.

Feo.

Philosophical Gangsters are Finally Coming!

Oh yes. This is a comic made in GMod, the powerful tool that runs in the Source game engine. It is a spectacular tale of action, adventure, and betrayal. Roam the world with two powerful gangsters as they hunt for riches and search for the man who is trying to kill them. All while blasting philosophical remarks. It'll be great fun. With pain and suffering and guns.

COMING VERY SOON

PHILOSOPHICAL GANGSTERS:

A NEW PATH

Brownies Are The New Chloroform!

Who doesn't love brownies? Who doesn't love sleeping? Who doesn't love being drugged by brownies?

Lazy Cakes, now to be found in gas stations and dirty happymarts everywhere, are brownies laced with the sleep-inducing medication melatonin. So much melatonin, in fact, that fewer than two of these chocolaty monsters will knock a grown man out.

So how are these things legal? They're brownies with drugs! Easy: the FDA can't regulate melatonin amounts in dietary supplements, and guess what the "The Official Relaxation Brownie" is being marketed as? Close, but wrong: a dietary supplement (seriously, the answer was right in front of you. Read next time). These things have 8mg of the stuff. 10mg is enough to make a person fall abruptly asleep.

Of course, the health community is enraged. This stuff will send you in a ditch after you stock up on it at the gas station. We'll see how it all works out. In the mean time, to the gas station!

Feo.

P.S.

They look like poo.

TF2 is Going to Kill Bill

Using the name changing tool in TF2, I made the Demoman carry around the legendary Hattori Hanzo Sword. Any questions?

Weebl's Wandering Eye

If you don't know who Weebl is, punch yourself, click your heels three times and say www.weebls-stuff.com. Weebl is only the greatest flash animating genius ever, and he has released a new song/animation for his electro-pop side project, Savlonic, called "Wandering Eye". It is awesome, and you will now watch it.

But what is making this video SO MUCH MORE AWESOME?! Weebl released the full vocal tracks so anyone can remix them. Welcome to heaven, DJ.

The Collecting Effect (Featuring an Observant Example!)

Okay, without a doubt this has been studied and catalogued some 32 times, but I shall write about it anyways.

Why do people like collecting stuff? Is it the fact that having lots of stuff is cool, or maybe its peoples' love of filling up empty shelves with collectibles (that's a whole 'nother effect right there)? I don't know why people like collecting stuff, but I know why corporations like it: it's easy money. Time for an easy example: video games!

Case file located within a case wrapped in a case file hidden in a case: the legendary Team Fortress 2. In TF2, you have a little something called a backpack. In your backpack you can place weapons, powerups, but most importantly: hats. These hats do not affect gameplay in any way (note that, that's important. Seriously, you'll need that sentence later. Highlight your screen or something. I'm sure it'll wash off). Recently, the fine gents put two very important systems into place.

1. Trading: it's now possible to trade whatever's in your backback for the goods in somebody else's backpack. No harm done, right? Right. That was a rhetorical question.

B. or 2. Mann Co. Store: a store that sells virtual guns. And hats.

FLASHBACK: These hats donot affect gameplay in any way.

Yes, I just used the power of rainbow text to remind you that hats are useless. You can pay 7.49 real dollars for a fake hat.

Why would you do that? To have more hats than everybody else, of course? Why would you need more nonexistent hats?

I really don't know.

Feo

P.S.

The store has been put to good use, though. Valve (the gentlemen who own TF2) sold $20-100 hats to raise money for the Japan disaster. They raised over $1,400.

Freedom Tastes Like Puppies (Sweet)

My school year is done.

"Get off my property!" you may be angrily screaming, but yes, it is over. My school is intense so it lets us out early. Before you continue screaming property-based insults, I have good news. Now that my vacation has begun, I will have more time to post stuff up here. So there, do you still want to insult me? That's what I thought...

OKAY I'M GETTING OFF YOUR PROPERTY, DAMNIT!
