Steam Trade Gets Tradier

So, much to my own amazement, it does seem like Valve is being nearly normal with their updates to Team Fortress 2. The TF2 team has been adding a new item, and doing a few patches, once a week for about… 5 weeks now. I’m so proud, Valve. Keep up the good work. In other news, here’s what’s happened with this week’s updates:

·         The Addition of the “Sneak Spats of sneaking” seen in the picture to the left

·         The Addition of new promo items from Ghost Recon, seen above are two of them

·         The removal of crates 41 and 42, and the addition of 44 and 45. Both of which have the stock rocket launcher and stock Sticky Launcher, completely undermining the rare strange market. Time to sell, everyone! But, at least Valve put some cool strange parts in these.

·         Fix on the Frying Pan, so you no long hold it like a stick on the Scout, and other classes

·         Fixed the Last Breath, so it no longer clips with every item ever invented

And that’s about it. However, something happened with Steam Trade which may be important for the Mannconomy.

Super Monday Night Combat (which will from here on out be referred to as SMNC) now has Steam Trade, so all of you out there playing this game, who would like some SMNC items you may be in luck. Since the introduction of Steam Trade (which has allowed me to get some very nice games for the low, low price of free) I’ve been wondering what else would be put in. Steam trade is used 99% of the time for TF2. I think I may go on Spiral Knights and see if anybody wants my old stuff in favor of their metal, or hats. Not all people are poor, and if they pre-ordered Left 4 Dead 2, and just so happened to not want that Bills Hat anymore, well, I suppose I could take it off their hands.

To touch base with what’s pretty much happened with the new crates: let me put it into perspective:
A lot of people like the stock version of weapons—like the Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, etc…  this raised the prices all the way up to ridiculous prices, like 4-5 keys on the stock rocket. Since Valve has decided that nobody is their favorite, they’ve nerfed us all by destroying some of the value of the market, sending everything into frenzy. Yes, it’s over. Your old stranges are old no more. Get used to it.

Sorry for making everything out into black and white, but if you’re a trade like I am, and are invested in older stranges, its time to sell sell sell!
