Black Friday cannot be on Thanksgiving!

The two must not ever meet, lest the universe collapse due the horrific combination of savings and turkey

Hence Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday.

What is a calendar?
 

If you don't know how to work the calendar, you can't make plantations, and that's unacceptable.

I love you.

Anyone up for pubbing tonight in TF2? I splurged and lucked out and got a shiny new strange stickybomb launcher from the first crate I opened in months and I'm probably gonna go break it in.

Also, anyone know the trading price for a strange part counting gib kills?

[Lagslayer]

I had an idea earlier. What if there was a suit of armor that would occupy a Heavy's primary weapon slot. It gives a passive bonus of crit and mini-crit immunity, as well as immunity to headshots and backstabs,. Maybe it could have other bonuses (depending of balance needs), like bonus health, damage resistance, immunity to afterburn or knockback, etc.

This would mean a few things:
1. Heavy is not complete sniper and spy bait.
2. Heavy would be much tankier in general.
3. Heavy has a reason to use shotguns.

That would be interesting, and probably a neat little change of gameplay. Combine that with a sandvich and gloves of boxing or the bear claws and you have a tanky melee heavy.

Spy and sniper really do not need that nerf.  Clearing out medic/powerhouse comboes is kind of their thing; its been my opinion for a while the main reason to bother with a sniper on your team is to kill heavies and medics.  And backstab immunity is an INSANE effect, I mean yeah its on the razorback but the razorback doesn't actually grant immunity (there's a weak point) and anyway sniper is an easy revolver kill.  Not true of heavy.

Maybe a personal (assembled) dispenser for heavy to carry on his back? Not sure what level it shoule be though

[Fniff]

Perhaps the drawback is immunity from healing (The medic beam can't go through the suit due to LEAD or something) and fire (Did anyone say BBQ?).

If you want to avoid being headshot as heavy you can use the Fists of Steel.

How is TF2 for someone new and just getting into it? I've always felt like giving the game a shot, but it seems like one of those games that you have to play for half a year to feel even mildly comfortable with. (Like LoL, kind of.)

[Leafsnail]

I'd say it's much, much easier to get into than MOBAs, especially if you have some experience with FPS games.  The format in general is way more casual, and if you start off with a class like Soldier your role doesn't have to be too much more complicated than "kill dudes, try to push the objective".

[miauw62]

That said, Soldier is a class with a lot of very good people playing it. Just try out all classes until you find one you like and practice, aka play a lot. You'll develop a style easily enough. Be careful with sidegrades, the stock weapons are often incredibly versatile and some sidegrades can ruin that (phlognisator, backburner, cow mangler, force a nature, I'm looking at you).
Also, try to prioritize the objective over killdudes. A suicidal push/defence can easily make the difference, don't be afraid to die (but pick your fights anyway).

[EnigmaticHat]

I'd also say that certain classes are much easier than others.  Medic, soldier and pyro are all pretty easy to be decent at.
