Clearly you are an illiterate idiot. Read the whole damn sentence Steve wrote and actually think about it next time, i.e. “Phil calling me some Valve lapdog is like the pot calling the kettle black.” What Steve means by that is that I am a hypocrite for calling him a lapdog since I too am one. Since English is obviously not your strong suit, maybe you will finally understand it if I express Steve’s incorrect assertion in that sentence as a mathematical equation: pot (Phil) = kettle (Steve) = black (lapdog)

If you don’t get it now, you need more mental help than I can provide.

No, he wasn’t. He did not say ‘phil, you are a valve lapdog’, he said ‘calling ME a lapdog’

Clearly, you are not as intelligent as you would like to have us believe, migrowen.

Yes, he was. That is what Steve meant by “the pot calling the kettle black.”

“he specifically states how it’s always out of stock. This is useful information”

It’s not useful. You can see the same “out of stock” message at the Valve store. Steve didn’t post an alternative place to buy those hats. Now that might be useful to at least Valve toadies who would want that crap.

“Steve, you’re delusional. I am no Valve lapdog, and nothing I have ever posted here suggests otherwise.”

Steve wasn’t calling YOU a lapdog. He was saying that YOU called HIM a lapdog. And yous eem to continue to do so.

And honestly, this isn’t like a commercial at all. If you notice, he specifically states how it’s always out of stock. This is useful information to some–like me, who’s been trying to get hold of a headcrab hat for quite some time, but has had no luck wondering what was going on at the valve store (whether they stopped making it, if it were out of stock, etc etc).

Steve, you’re delusional. I am no Valve lapdog, and nothing I have ever posted here suggests otherwise.

“It probably isn’t pristine news to alot of people.”

It’s not news to anybody. The Valve fanboys already knew about the headcrap hats a long time ago, and the rest of us don’t care about them.

“Still, it’s nice to throw a changeup in there once in a while.”

Sure, just like a commercial is a nice changeup in the middle of a television show. If Valve wants to advertise its crap on this site, you should make it buy normal ad banners so I can filter them out like I do with the other ads. There’s no need for you to shill for Valve for free.

It probably isn’t pristine news to alot of people. Still, it’s nice to throw a changeup in there once in a while. If you don’t like it, then skip it. We’re not force feeding you here.

Phil, you sure do seem to be full of hate, everywhere you go.
