10:51 PM - nine: the new TF2 merchandise is pretty awesome, but someone should yell at the website people for not putting the cart status/checkout button anywhere on the new store
10:52 PM - nine: pretty hard to buy the trading cards I've been wanting since forever without a checkout button
10:53 PM - Robin: you serious? you can't check out right now?
10:53 PM - nine: well you can, but they only way to get to the cart/checkout is by adding something to it
10:53 PM - nine: which is pretty poor usability
10:53 PM - Robin: send me an email describing the problem, I'll forward it onto the store designers
10:55 PM - nine: sent
10:55 PM - Robin: thanks a bunch
10:57 PM - nine: and one of the demoman t-shirt images is named l4d2_demoman_shirt if you feel like harassing someone
10:59 PM - Robin: they're dead
11:00 PM - nine: the best solution to employee problems at Valve?
11:00 PM - nine: keeps everyone on their toes and working hard I bet
11:01 PM - Robin: "That's your desk and chair. It belonged to the guy on the floor, but he doesn't need it any more."
11:02 PM - nine: I hear Negative Work Environments are all the rage these days
11:03 PM - Robin: It's only negative for the guys who are dead, and they're beyond caring. It's quite positive for anyone still standing.
11:03 PM - nine: Makes sense.
11:06 PM - nine: How are the new demo tools coming along?
11:13 PM - nine: I see, not at all
11:15 PM - Robin: still haven't found a good replacement for his sticky launcher
11:16 PM - nine: replace it with one that shoots the rubber duck gibs, and replace all the sound files with autotuned quacks
11:16 PM - nine: name it the Duckybomb Launcher
11:16 PM - Robin: genius
11:16 PM - Robin: where were you a year ago
11:16 PM - nine: I expect a self-made version

10:49 PM - nine: hey, are you ready to be amazed?
10:51 PM - nine: well, ready or not, image
10:51 PM - nine: "oh nineaxis", you say, "genius!"
10:51 PM - nine: "Through all these updates brainstormed by people hired to think of imbalanced weapons, delectable hats, and miscellaneous items to be distributed in ways that Europeans hate, no one ever figured out that what TF2 was really missing was more ducks!"
10:52 PM - nine: or "that's the worse item ever been submitted to contribute", which is probably also true
11:15 PM - Robin: not true, much worse items have been submitted
11:15 PM - Robin: the eyes are a nice touch
11:17 PM - nine: copied off of the duck gib?
11:18 PM - Robin: then I'll tell Dhabih it was a nice touch

Mr. Quacksworth: Robin Walker approved?

10:18 PM - Nineaxis: How dare you let your minions misspell a blog post title!
10:20 PM - Robin: whoops
10:20 PM - Robin: that was me, not some minion
10:20 PM - Robin: but in my defense, I'm home & sick
10:23 PM - Nineaxis: Making you all the weaker for when canon-obsessed fans break down your door to avenge the crimes you have committed against the spelling of weapon nicknames
10:24 PM - Robin: that's what I get for copy & pasting something out of the writer's script without reading it
10:25 PM - Nineaxis: Next thing you know, you'll be posting comics where Elizabeth is spelled with half the letters and looks surprisingly like Emily
