OP was complaining about the match not starting on time. Valve has absolutely nothing to do with that. That's a completely different reason for us not yet reaching our "legit esport" goal, and not what OP was talking about at all. There's no reason to turn this thread into a discussion about Valve when it's meant to be a call to the players to start headline matches on time.

This is what posts like #3 are saying. Whataboutism.

There are plenty of hurdles that TF2 needs to overcome to get closer to the center stage. Starting headline matches on time, every time is one of those hurdles. It's also a hurdle that we, as a community, have complete control over. So quit your goddamn bitching about Valve in threads where it's completely fucking irrelevant.

For your own benefit, try to begin future discussions like this by asking people what led them to believe something, rather than making blanket statements up front.

non-jerks should also tune the fuck in

Tune the fuck in jerks

Svejk, the reason people are being condescending is (as far as I can tell) that you came in championing inductive reasoning out of the blue, implying that nobody in the thread had used it. I don't see anyone in here dogmatically accepting anything. The first few posts may not have delved in-depth into the reasons for all the homeopathy-bashing, but that doesn't meant they didn't have reasons, just that it would have been overly pedantic and unnecessary to the conversation to discuss them.

Also, you may have gotten a lot of -frags for #17 because of what seems like a misinterpretation of scientific principles. OF COURSE people thought Newton was correct. For macroscopic systems, HE IS. When scientists with access to new technology, data and theories showed that he was incorrect for microscopic systems, people acknowledged that science was advancing and accepted the new explanations. Similarly, if a large body of medical evidence emerges that shows homeopathy to be wildly effective, public opinion will quickly change on the subject.

edit for argumentation principles: It is far more effective to ask a probing question and listen for the answer (i.e. use the Socratic method) than to begin an argument by making a statement or a paragraph.

Haha, those look awesome. You are a pretty cool dude, Apple.

Went to a party and my black jacket doesn't fit me anymore. Too big. So I went with the gray one and looked like sherlock holmes.

Sorry! Fixed the link. Dropbox didn't like the fact that I wanted to share a file with the public so it suspended my account.

I have a few.

boners isn't triggered. I threw it in there in case you want to rename it to something else, just a fun easter egg.

To celebrate 500 TF2 videos, I put a lot of work into an announcer pack to replace the administrator in TF2! It's not perfect (I still think the volume is too low) but it's a fun way to have all your games "shoutcasted."

Here's the announcer pack with instructions included!

I had a few commenters say they'd be "willing to pay" for the pack. That's garbage. It's free. But if you want to donate anyway, I won't stop you. You can send me a paypal donation to fatmop@gmail.com if you absolutely must.

Thanks for sticking with me for 500 vids, here's to the next 500!

Haven't watched yet so I can't say anything definitively, but just because one guy says it won't happen doesn't mean he's right. Even if that guy is djwheat.

Shitwizard, you are truly a wizard. Please tell me how to use shit to conjure graphics, I must know.
