FESTERS PLACE

Can't seem to connect to Fester's, the game crashes on me whenever I try it (both main and karaoke servers) with some engine error. I think the box needs to be updated or something since I can connect well enough to other servers.

the update news for tf2 says there was a patch yesterday so its quite prossable

The patch contains a few interesting nuggets.

For example, they added a backpack with 50 slots and the option to delete items permanently. "Delete my hard earned items, are you nuts ?" you may say, but this only hints at future opportunities to collect weapons via different means. If your backpack is full, you need a way to remove stuff you don't want anymore.

There is also a new equipment slot for the head.

In my opinion this means that we will soon be able to pick up new weapons with "random attributes" on the field of battle and store them in the backpack.
