Talk:Aperture Labs Hard Hat

NOTE: "Fun" vs "Factual"

In the TF Wiki IRC we have decided that we wish to play along with Valve with our main article - keep it as a "fun" classified page. If you wish to work on the factual version of the page, you can do so here.

We will implement the factual version of the page either when it is properly released & named in-game. OR if a vote on this discussion page favours replacing the "fun" page with the factual one. - 23:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

I emailed Robin to check whether the hat will be "properly released". His answer is "It's possible". Email - 00:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I like fun too but it seems a lot of people want to actually find out what's known about the hat. I'm in favor of changing this soon. —Moussekateer·talk 00:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to look at the hat and I had to do a treasure hunt to find it on the Wiki. That's just not good. Balladofwindfishes 00:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

When do we change it back? I tryed to do it earlier but got a temp ban for my trouble. Perhaps I was a bit heavy handed. Guybrush20X6 00:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

It's right up there.

It is properly released and named. The Wiki doesn't judge Valve's naming of items. Balladofwindfishes 00:34, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Image upload issue

I took a higher-quality screenshot of the hat in Model Viewer, but the low-quality image from earlier appeared instead. What happened?? Wolfnanaki 23:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Cache issues. But someone is uploading a high quality one as we speak, your image had a lot of aliasing and seemed to be cropped by hand. —Moussekateer·talk 23:36, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Factual - Rumors

Would like to continue with adding of the Rumors section. Even if it's all wrong and turns out to be something else entirely, I think the attention players have turned towards the speculation is without a doubt the most frantic I have ever seen in a long time. People are pulling their hair out trying to figure this out and even the media has picked up on it. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108965-Portals-GlaDOS-Invades-Steam-With-Potato-Related-ARG If not, that's fine, I just wanted to let my voice be heard about it. --Skunk 00:30, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

This is a factual wiki, we don't post speculation or rumors. —Moussekateer·talk 00:32, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
