Don't worry about sucking as spy, 70% of it is luck. At best you can learn how to avoid foes and when to attack, but random spychecking, scouts bumping into you as a pyro rounds a corner, heavies spinning around for no reason to mow you down and all sorts of funkiness can really mess you up no matter what skill level you are at. You can remove a percentage or two for the crazier spy maneuvers like jumping backwards over a scout running straight towards you to backstab them or perfecting facestabs, but don't worry too much about dying a lot.

^this.

Something must have happened with the TF2 item servers while I was playing today. As a pyro, I couldn't wield my beloved backburner for some reason. Or a regular flame-thrower. The only weapons I could use was a detonator and postal plummer (I still managed to kill a few people with the two).

Has anybody else experienced this today? (or perhaps in the past)

Something like that happened to me once in the past, several months ago: all my weapons got stuck on what they were on at the time instead of what usually happens when the servers go wonky.

So I recently got a Diamondback as a drop. It is awesome, especially if the enemy team has an engineer using Mini-Sentries.

Sap a couple of sentries being built or just sap a teleporter, kill an engy in his nest from a distance with the pistol crits, go and sap the nest, repeat ad nasuem. It's even more awesome with a Dead Ringer.

Diamondback? What's it do?

Reverse Frontier Justice. Gives you a crit for each building that you destroy or assist via sapper, but only does the same damage as the Ambassador (-15%). It's certainly more practical than the Ambassador with my aiming skills... I'm definitely using it as a main revolver from now on. I can kinda imagine a weird Spy equivalent to the Gunslinger/Justice Engies with the Diamondback/Kunai/Ringer.

[Dsarker]

Oh, cool.

The Original. It... It looks like a dildo. Did we play those games with dildostraponrocketlaunchers for years?

I... I think we did......

Sometimes a phalic rocketlauncher is just a phalic rocketlancher.

And sometimes it's gamedevs overcompensating for something.

Game-promoted reskin of the standard Rocket Launcher; looks exactly like the Rocket launcher from Quake. Valve decided to troll, placing the viewmodel at the bottom of the screen, so it looks like you're firing rockets from a massive black dong and fapping while reloading. Valve say it's because that's what it looks like on Quake, but we know that they love the cock really.

I think this game hates me.

I've had it for about 3 weeks, bought a few things to get premium, and logged 23 hours of game-time.

But I still have yet to see a single drop of any kind. Seriously, even one of those crates would be a welcome sight right about now.

[Thexor]

...weird. I guess it's possible (though it'd be weird) that new premium accounts have to wait until the next reset period to begin receiving drops. If that's the case, you'll have to wait until Thursday for the drop counter to reset. 

[Impending Doom]

Two Thursdays have passed since I went premium.

Valve wants you to spend more money.  Its a big scam I say.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

I went premium after I decided that five bucks was worth it, and my first drop was the sultan's ceremonial.
I have everything BUT the Persian Persuader for that set. It's a shame, too.
