Your planning on releasing it in a few months?
Do what Valve does to get people hyped about their next game: make trailers. Try and do something like the Blue Shift trailer. They took Barney, animated him in a clip and showed some gameplay. Get some serious action trailers, make some scenes and record 'em.

I know what you mean stojkens, i'll never go back to a single monitor setup again, not to mention the little-bit bigger screen is so much bigger/brighter/easier on the eyes! And ya, the keyboard is literally amazing... looks/feels/performs great, same goes for the mouse... it's like heaven compared to my old one
I'd love to see what goodies you got too!

Hmm, alright. I'm doing this currently for the Planetphillip replay event, but if anyone is interested, I'll do random mod playthru's as well (or any single player maps you have if you'd like)

I ventured this a long time ago, but tf2 has basically become a giant billboard made by valve so other corporations can advertise or do promotionals using TF2 as a medium. Why doesn't most of the community stuff get accepted? because TF2 is merely advertising other games like skyrim or shows like robot chicken. Therefore, if you are a big corporation seeking to advertise to a large market of gamers, TF2 will be at your service.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to hold you in my big strong arms and comfort you."
You know me too well man. sniff Why weren't you there for me when I needed you! Is it because I will kick your ass at JKA in the near future? Well if you'd just stop using force lighting maybe I'd play more fairly.

lol!
Seriously I'm beginning to like "Loot". It's geeky but not a joke that will get stale, and it just sounds like a birds name. Lut. Lute. Loot. Yeah? It's also got a personal touch since D3 sort of rekindled a friendship between me and one of my best friends and neighbors when he got back from school. For a while there we drifted a bit. Now we do Inferno runs together and this little bird will be chillin with us and watching.
Loot is now the name to beat.
Of the suggestions so far I like Pyro (favorite tf2 class), Nancy (no clue why). Peetee is good except I already had a duck named PD (named after the author of Are You My Mother because the duckling followed us home) and that sounds too similar when you say it.
Mariowned your idea is awesome and if I had heard it before i picked one out, i'd have looked for a blue w/ white belly. Maybe if I decide to get him a partner I'll do it.

IDK man, when all this stuff started happening, they also made the game free. I get that they're a corporation and that profit comes first in order to stay alive, but I still think people took the whole hat thing a little too far.
It's not like they subtracted anything from the game, it's just little additions that barely affect the gameplay at all.
I like Team Fortress 2 way back before hats and I like Hat Fortress 2 as well. Go figure, the game stayed pretty much the same.
The fact that vanilla servers are so rare attests to this. If everyone hated the "new" TF2 so much, and loved the old one so much, I would think vanilla servers would be quite popular. Instead, TF2 is basically the most popular game on steam.

Well, after seeing "Freeman's Mind", I don't think there's any point left to see yet another Half-Life gameplay video. And your half-life is not vanilla, it has a custom crowbar. Perhaps you were bored, I know I was when I made a HL2 video like this(only heavily edited).

Honestly, all this hat crap is a persistence in stupidity. If Valve was a person, I imagine him/her being a cynical one that says: "As long as there will be stupid people, I will be fucking rich". Aside from Valve and people like you(if they succeed), there's no fun in this.

Not sure I see the point without a commentary. It's like watching your mute mate play a game that you could play yourself - and if you play it yourself you get it in widescreen... At a much higher resolution... Without a screen recorder logo at the top of the frame...

Reminds me of a Nancy Drew game. Forgot whether it was a parrot or parakeet. Anyway in that game I ended up getting nancy eaten by a piranha plant. So I think u should name your parakeet 'Nancy'. Not really saying it will get eaten by a piranha plant or anything like that. Not a all. Ok, maybe a little.

Parakeets are awesome! Grats.
"The Project" would be an excellent name for bringing up in casual conversation. "Yeah I'd love to see that film. Just gimme five mins, I have to feed The Project."
I'm trying all of these in the phrase "<name> The Parakeet"
"If I had to use one word it would be 'heavy.' I looks very very 'heavy.'"
Bottom Line:
This is probably THE best Half-Life Deathmatch map I have ever played. I really mean that. It is amazing. It is piece of art and it plays really really well.

Had a parakeet once, called him Elvis, until he laid an egg. Turns out he was a she. She was almost never in her cage, and she would sometimes build a little nest in the hallway to protect her eggs and in the middle of the night attack any unsuspecting victim who had to go to the bathroom.
Of course we had to remove the eggs from her nest. No point in letting her waste her time on them. There was no male bird around so the eggs were good for nothing but omelette.
Anyways, parakeets are awesome, treat it well! And don't give it any mirrors, a common misstake, but a dangerous one as some birds actually go crazy by mirrors. Nobody told me that, luckily I never bought one.

can't get enough of Roller Coasters, or water riders. We've got a pretty big themepark here in Göteborg, Sweden. I love it. haven't been there for two years though, haven't found the time.
Do what Valve does to get people hyped about their next game: make trailers. Try and do something like the Blue Shift trailer. They took Barney, animated him in a clip and showed some gameplay. Get some serious action trailers, make some scenes and record 'em.
Do it the Archie way.
I'd love to see what goodies you got too!

I use 2 exactly the same CRTs to achieve dual screen. Now i can never go back to using 1 screen xD
i really like your new keyboard and Mouse. I should post a Journal of what i got last month, some pretty cool stuff.

Colossal win on this one.

Thanks guys.

I'm sorry robot chicken hasn't made any good content since the Star Wars parodies.

I'm sorry your hat didn't make it to the idiots.
So when I'm all like:
- Yo nigga!
My parrot goes:- Sup mah main nigga!
Damn that would be so ultra cool!Just keep an eye on it in case its head falls off.
I seriously read that "PeePee".
Here's another one: Popinjay (although this is not really original).
Seriously though, don't do that.
"The Project" would be an excellent name for bringing up in casual conversation. "Yeah I'd love to see that film. Just gimme five mins, I have to feed The Project."
