Ear buds dropping until 16th august

[Purplecat]

Recently people noticed that they still got ear buds, probably due to a Valve mistake (they could as well make it a permament Mac drop :p). So they extended the dropdate officially to 16th august. So if you missed out on them, you still have a chance to login on a Mac and get them.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I'm so going to get myself a pair of those. :u

I found that you do not even need a machine that can run TF2 properly.
I got my earbuds with a MacMini whose graphics capabilities are considered too low to play the game.

When I launched the game, it complained that the graphics were below recommended levels, but I hit continue anyway.
I got the typical full screen splash image of TF2 loading, but when it was fully loaded the screen just sat and flickered.
I could not see the menu to start a game, but I could blindly pull up the console and type EXIT.

Then I launched TF2 in Windows and *poof* earbuds!

Meh, I never thought the earbuds looked that great... I don't have a Mac to get my own and I'm not stupid enough to ask someone who does to do it for me.

They're technically a disadvantage to wear, since they are 100% bright at all times (like those Mac commercials). Even in pitch black areas they glow white.

I use them on the scout since they work nicely as a replacement for his headphonething when you're using hats on him.
