Unlockables are a cheap way to keep you playing in almost every game that features them. I hate them to death.
TF2 is one of my favorite games ever either way.

Cheater's Lament is generally seen as a "noob hat", just like the Ghastly Gibus. Plus it's ugly  I have one but don't use it.

I've been playing on Highlander servers (to avoid the WE NEED MORE ENGINEERS effect) and for the little I've managed to play Engie I've had a lot of fun. They did a great, and much-needed, job at revitalizing the class.

I remember seeing the same idea as the wrangler being suggested over and over on the Steam forums. Glad it worked, because it sounds fun

I'm not sure it's 100% mathematically accurate, but the one I see most often is this one:
a = 0.999... 10a = 9.999... 10a - a = 9a = 9.999... - 0.999... = 9 a = 1

It can be easily demonstrated that 0.999... != 1 by applying the principle of Bukowski interference to the domain of complex numbers. First assume 0.999... = 1. Now let's say we have a set S of non-overlapping sets S1, S2, S3..., all of which contain a single complex number x1, x2, x3... ∈ [0.9; 1). It's possible to Fourier transform each x by using a simple 3x3x3 matrix, any one will do. Call the transformed xs x'1, x'2 etc. Now apply each x'y into its parent set Sy; that will create some funcion fy(z). Now comes the interesting part: take the Irwin derivative of each of these functions and add them all together. The image of the resulting function has only natural numbers!!! Obviously then you'd draw a high-order union between the original set S and the xs to check for mismatched equalities and so on and so forth, but in the end you'll end up with a number that's between 0.999... and 1, which leads you to an absurd. ∎
People usually don't get this proof at first because it's not taught in basic calculus courses anymore, but once you try it on paper you really see how simple and elegant it is.

IF you act today, you can get Left 4 Dead, TorchLight and Red Faction Guerrilla for less then $20, TOGETHER, wowzers.
Guerrilla looks like it would get old pretty quick. Am I wrong?
