Get a Pip-Boy in Team Fortress 2

Weird. Don't they usually add these to promote the release of a game on Steam? New Vegas has been out for some time. Even Lonesome Road is probably a while off now. Can you pre order DLC?

There's a Skyrim helmet and a Brink hood included as well.

And RAGE. Yey

Quakecon sounds like a probable answer. This look familiar :D

I just hope I don't have to go to Quake Con, or buy Bethesda's catalog to get this. I love TF2, engy is my favorite class, and I'd really like a PipBoy!
 
I just received one. Quite happy as Engie is one of 3 mains, it goes very nicely with the Gunslinger. For reference, I have New Vegas and all three DLCs.
 
Don't tell me people actually pay for such crap.. (couldn't find info about it) Or is it just some "random" loot everyone can get?
 
Eh, not sure if like. I get the feeling that a Pipboy 2000 styled PDA/briefcase/thing would have been a better idea than the Pipboy 3000 wristshit. But this is Bethesda, so of course they'd use the wristshit.

The Quake rocket launcher looks cool.

I'm pretty sure those who have New Vegas automatically get it. It's also randomly given, and players might be able to craft it. And who cares if people are willing to pay for it. TF2 is now fully supported by the revenue it generates from it's in-game store.

The Pip-Boy 2000 was worn on the wrist; I know it says so in Fallout 2. A computer in Vault 13 describes it, I believe. I know it was some computer in some vault.

I'm no fan of Bethesda either, but complaining about Bethesda any chance someone gets, about minuscule unimportant things, is annoying and childish.

The original Pip-Boy 2000 was a hand-held device (similar to modern PDA devices), though some very cumbersome models were made to be worn on the arm. These models were unofficially called Pip-Boy 2000 Plus, and were, among others, owned by the Vault Dweller and Chosen One. A modified model was used by the Brotherhood of Steel.

Is what I was getting at.

And I don't care if you think I'm childish, the Pip-Boy 3000 will always be ugly.

This is also a lazy misc. item addition to TF2 anyway, Engi doesn't even use or see the PB3000, just the normal PDA with a green transparent Vault Engi background thing. The item itself is literally not even on the viewodel for the Engi's arm.

I'm pretty sure this was just a user made item that was submitted to Valve. Besides, everyone who owns a Steam version of New Vegas gets a free "Genuine" quality one anyways.

That hand-held model wasn't even used by the player in either game.

Ha, whatever, it's a silly thing to argue about. :P
