What new weapons/classes would you like to see in TF2?

- mortars
- smoke grenades
- artillary guns (FlaK)
- tanks!
- hellicopters
- Navy Seals with grappling hooks, special underwater capabilities, etc.
- better, cooler flamethrowers

(Editors note: Well this was a poll question. This is not the poll page but this came to the mailbag addy. Smoke grenades and tanks would be cool. I will be getting my tank soon. I have to just finish reinforcing the drive way first.)

    I am sick of all this news scarcity too! I am currently waiting for our machine to be built and then our domain will be up. It will be at (xxxxxxxxxxx.000. Dont post that though cause it aint up yet. And i must say i am gunna poast everything i possibly can. Profanity's maybe not. But somebody telling someone off? Sure! I dont care! Why not?! I mean that is what all this is for!! Well, i hope your team and mine can become friend's. We are with you in this fight for freedon of speech! Thanx. Hope to be talking to you again soon.

(Editors note: Well it is always good to welcome a new news/commentary site into the TF world. Now maybe I will have someplace to send all the stuff I want to post that the guys tell me I can't!!)

    Well, i was reading your little whiney deal about lack of mail, and i thought to myself, "WHAT?". then i remembered that i cant read, and got my little sister to read it for me (Trust me, having to have your sister- espesially your little sister- read ANYTHING to you is INCREDIBLY degrading(there ya go Hal- big word. Can you put Brackets inside of brackets?). say in school kid) and to my dismay i hear that there is no news to report. "Well" i thought, If there is no news to report, its about time somebody made something up"which is probably where most of the TF related news comes from.). So, here we go:

    Someone emailed us about the Private life of John Romero (must have been the Cyber-poperatsi), and apperently he is changing his name to Gus. We dont have confirmed reports of this, more on this as it continues. In other news, Mad's little shop of Horrors is up and running Here. It has never been updated, and as far as we can tell, no one knows where it came from. Some say the Shady side of the lemon tree, others say some idiot pretended to know what HTML was, and made a site in his nerdy spare time.

    For the first time in years, A U.S. President has done something terrible. we dont know what it is yet, but apperently his wife is mad at him, and Someone name Lonica Mewinski, or someone like that, was having *relations* with The president. Now, *relations*, what does that mean? Are they doing something mmmmmmORALLY wrong? Ahhh well what else is new?

    Well, i dont know if you will post this, but have fun reading it anyway. you probably get this sort of thing all the time.

PS- what kind of name is "The Hal" really? COME ON!

(Editors note: I will post anything, just ask around, they will tell you. There were to many Hal 9000's out there. My name is Hal and I am the real Hal, Thus, The Hal. I have seen much worse names. I could have chosen "The Earl." That is my middle name. Oh, and you haven't heard me whine yet. You will know when I whine, everyone will know. I'll make sure of that.)

    How come the maps in the recent files section on the main page of PF are linked to using that mirror listing, but the rest on the actual files page are just direct links to the files on walnut creek???????

Oh, and when is the Phat Dragon thingy gonna hit town?

(Editors note: So many questions, so few answers. I know nothing of these things. It's not my job. Why did you send this to the mail bag. If you want a responsible answer you must address someone responsible, not me. I can't be responsible and do this at the same time. It's not in my job description. My job description is......... well, not important right now. I hope Phat Dragons thingy stays right where it is. Look what happened to Bill when he let his thingy out.)

    Hey, just wondering if you guys are ever considering adding the WeaponsFactory mod for Q2 to this page -- or info on it or whatever -- since it's essentially a port of TF from q1 to q2. Long, sentence, sorry.

(Editors note: Long sentence, that's what someone said when I told them I have been married for 22 years. But to answer your question, I don't know. We consider a lot of things and never do anything about them. It is fun sending messages back and forth though.)

    Hi, i have recently been hit by a weird problem. on some servers, when it says checking models, i hear my hard drive act up, and it goes back into game size saying that i should increase my heapsize to 16000, which is what i put it at, and i have 32 megs free on the C: drive, which i think is enough, because i don't run GL. can you tell me what might have caused the message, and how i can fix it.

thanks,
Roman

(Editors note: You wouldn't happen to be old would you? If you are that is the problem. The same thing happens to me all the time. The memory is the first to go, just ask Bundy, he will tell you. I can get up out of the chair to go do something and before I even finish standing up, I have forgotten what I was going to do. It's a pisser, but you get used to it. You just need to go do something else when you forget what you were going to do so no one catches on. Because when other people start to notice, you are in real trouble. They start calling you Geezer and being real nice to you and stuff like that. Tirbine knows, he deals with it every day.)
