Veil Voyages For A Cool Hat

July 26, 2022July 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, gold, hat, reapers, reapers bones, sea of thieves

When it comes to what you actually do in Sea of Thieves, a big chunk of the game is unlocking better cosmetics. One of Sea of Thieves’ big draw is actually fashion, where you make yourself as awesome and badass as possible. However, a lot of the better gear is locked behind quests, voyages and more. And many others are locked behind doing the same sort of mission over and over. But one hat in particular was locked away behind a tedious grind, doing Veil Voyages over and over. And over. Basically, we needed to do 50 of these Veil… [Continue Reading]

All the cosmetics in the world and you only see them when you taunt.

The Scaling Level of Pointlessness When It Comes to Cosmetics

October 23, 2019October 17, 2019 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, cosmetics, Dota 2, hat, Team Fortress 2

It’s funny how some things come to you. I’ve got a good 1500+ hours playing Team Fortress 2, and it took me a good part of them to realise that cosmetics are actually almost completely pointless since you never actually see them. They are only ever seen by other people, unless you use that weird console command that shows your body. But even then, your head isn’t visible and you don’t even get to always see unusual effects. Aside from one obscure console command though, you’re dressing yourself up so you can look at yourself in menus. Any cosmetics you… [Continue Reading]

Spiral Sallet

April 5, 2017May 2, 2017 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments hat, spiral knights, Team Fortress 2

In general, hats that you can earn (or “earn” if you are one of those lazy sc rather busy people that uses Steam Achievement Manager) without needing to trade for, get in a drop, or even being premium in TF2 tends to get a bad rep. It ties in with the prejudice some people have towards the F2P players, since they are the ones that normally wear them as that is all they get. However, that doesn’t diminish my liking towards the Spiral Sallet. The Spiral Sallet was added in a small patch in June 14 2011, a day before the… [Continue Reading]

Cadaver’s Cranium

January 25, 2017February 23, 2017 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments Cosmetic, hat, heavy

The Cadaver’s Cranium shambles into the game during Scream Fortress 2010. It is based on the popular portrayal of the Frankenstein’s monster, and is an extra half a head rather crudely stapled onto the Heavy’s head, with thin black hair covering the extra scalp. Last I check, hair transplant isn’t supposed to include a large chunk of the skull with it. The Cadaver’s Cranium is a hat that holds a special place in my heart, as mine was a gift from a stranger when I was still very, very new. Years ago, a young, fresh-faced and newly premium’ed Warlock decided… [Continue Reading]

MeeM’s Thoughts on Voxel Hat Dimension Hopper

December 11, 2016January 4, 2017 MysticTheMeeM 0 Comments fez, game, hat, review

For those of you who don’t know – That’s FEZ. FEZ is a small game about a guy, called Gomez. He has a hat. More specifically, a fez. This covers the majority of the storyline. The rest of the storyline centres around the magical ability of this fez. It allows Gomez to visit unseen dimensions. Not quite a third dimension, but simply different perspectives of the same dimension. If you get what I mean. And if you don’t… you won’t. The thing about a FEZ is that (slightly less than) half of the game can be achieved solely through the application… [Continue Reading]

The Gentleman’s Gatsby

March 24, 2016 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, fun, gentleman's gatsby, hat, medic, story

“I was wondering around the other day, using my spectacularly riotous tickle mittens to coax my fellow adversely-colored brethren into fits of eye-watering hilarity, when a kind fellow noted the bubbly intrigue of my fine trusty battle helmet I had acquired from a rather loaded fellow whose name I do not recall, his name began with “Fus” or something of the like. But anyhow the man was bewildered. “Where do those bubbles come from?! What kinds of sorcery is at play?” he asked, as he consumed a particularly large fishcake. “Well…” I replied in haste. “This is an unusual hat.… [Continue Reading]

Of Ponies and Mercs: The Magical Mercenary

March 23, 2015 InstaCakes 0 Comments cosmetics, economy, fun, hat

The Magical Mercenary. It seems a shame that I’m adopting this article after so damn long after the hat’s effectiveness has worn off, but it’s something worth discussing. Something different that doesn’t match with the game at all, while at the same time somehow fitting in no problem and being regarded as pointless for most of the year. But that’s what Full Moon restricted hats are for, right? The Magical Mercenary is clearly a parody of everyone’s favourite cartoon horse show. A pink pony hat. That’s paintable, so you can pretend to be the human mass murderer version of your… [Continue Reading]

Dota 2 and Cosmetics

March 16, 2015 Waddlesail 0 Comments cosmetics, crates, Dota 2, hat

Ah, hats. What’s not to love about them? They rest on your head, make you look better, and can be traded away for even more hats. They’re also one of the most prominent features of TF2, being a staple of the game and one of the things most associated with it. Ever since the Sniper vs Spy update, more and more hats have been added to this game, along with other customization options. With over two hundred cosmetic items in the game, one would think that Team Fortress would be Valve’s best game for anyone who wishes to have the perfect… [Continue Reading]

Why the Gibus died

January 16, 2015 Medic 1 Comment cosmetics, hat, newb, trading

The Ghastly Gibus is the hat of the new player. The newbie. The n00b if you’re feeling cruel. For many people, whether they played before the Uber Update or after, the Ghastly Gibus was often their first hat, or at least one of their early ones. Yet the Ghastly Gibus has become a much rarer sight these days. Odd. Being an achievement hat, you can assume that almost everyone but the newest players has a Gibus, whether it’s the classic first level Gibus or the Ghostly Gibus or the Ghastliest Gibus. The Gibus is unique in being one of the… [Continue Reading]
