How is this going to work you ask? After much consideration I decided that the lifeblood of the community are the players that are determined to play on a Newbs server, regardless of who is on, and even more importantly even if there aren’t other players on. So I’m going to have to do this as a limited offer. I know what you’re thinking, how can I afford to give away hats to everyone? The answer is simple, I can’t. Thats right, you can come in, hang out, borrow a hat, but when you leave you have to leave it with the coat room clerk. Anyways… So, the catch is that the hats ONLY work on the servers. But wait, theres a catch :( I know I know, you’re expecting me to say that you need to sign over power of attorney before you get the hats right? No? Oh.

Yup, you got it – TF2 Newbs is giving away the New Team Fortress 2 hats for free to players. Reward people who play on the servers with hats. I had formulated a plan to make the world a better place for everyone. After many hours, and countless reams of paper with scrawled notes and calculations I finally had achieved my goal. So I began to think how I could save myself from this daily disappointment. Now onto the meh – Each afternoon I look at my friends list and think “oh wow, TF2 is poppin’ today” until I realize that its just a bunch of people idling for hats.

The excitement surrounding the release wasn’t nearly as wild as a typical class update, but I did see a bump in user counts and saw less bitching about the FaN. The goods news is that Valve fixed a hand full of problems, added a handful of features and gave all the classes 2 (and in some cases 3 if you count ‘no hat’) new hats. The August 13th Update brought joy, hate, and new hats to the land of Team Fortress 2.
