Update history

  • The Brainiac Goggles were added to the game.

Bugs

  • This hat, when equipped with the Mining Light, removes the Engineer's normal hardhat like normal, while the Mining Light's strap and light still remain. This causes a floating light and strap above where the hardhat should normally be; a similar effect occurs with the Industrial Festivizer.

Trivia

  • The word brainiac, originally derived from the name of a super-intelligent villain of Template:W lore, has come to mean a very intelligent person. It is a portmanteau of the words 'brain' and 'maniac'.
  • Diplopia and strabismus are both medical conditions, the former causing the affected to see one object as two, and the latter having one or more eyes misaligned
