Anybody got a spare "Hat" code?

I love sam and max. But I don't have the money to get the new series right now. That being said, I still would like to run around in TF2 with max on my head and his gun at my side.

So, does anybody not have TF2 and would be willing to give me their "Hat" code?

Oh, also, if anyone would be so kind to help me out, my email is theoriginalelectroflame@gmail.com

Thanks again!

    I would, but that would also give you a free copy of the Devil's Playhouse. If it only gave you the items, I'd be perfectly fine with it, but giving you the game feels like stealing from Telltale, so... Sorry.

    Oh. I was under the impression it would generate you a code when you bought it. I know that if you bought it here you would have to get a code you plug into steam. That was the code i was referring to. Thank you anyways.

    Yeah that exact code buys you the Penal Zone for steam. So I think telltale wouldent be to pleased with people giving those codes away.

    Oh. Is there any other way? I really want the hats and guns, but I really can't afford it...

    So, by giving me a code, you keep your game but give one to me too? If so, that sounds stupid.

    That's the only way Steam can know that you bought the game...

    It's stuff like that that make it difficult for Steam users to get the DVD here...

    By giving you a code, I'd keep the telltale game but give you the steam one, provided it hasn't been activated yet. They're separate.
    Telltale has agreed to let people who bought it for PC get the items, which is super nice of them. But the only way they could do it, it seems, was to give them the steam version of episode 1. So that steam can tell you've got it and give you the items.
    Giving the episode to people who already have it isn't such a big deal, but giving it to people who don't is a different story.
    I agree it would be more practical (on our end) if the codes only activated the items but it seems they couldn't do it that way.

    Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. I got it as a gift for my iPad (it came with my iPad, it was a birthday gift). So I didn't want to re-buy it just for the awesome items. Oh well. Thanks for the replies.

    Me too. The only thing is that I know The Orange Box was on sale for $9.99 in April of 2009, so it doesn't feel right to pay $25-30 for it now. Yeah, I understand it was a Steam sale, but I feel like kicking myself because I was there during the sale and it was a year ago. Oh, and 2010 is a pretty damn big year for major releases, too.

    I GIVED AWAY THE CODE! Now I'll have to buy the Penal Zone twice when they release it by separate just for feel better with myself T_T

    Well, I sent an e-mail telling to him please not do it, and I hope he doesn't.

    By the way, how many cost Team Fortress 2 in Steam? I could get away my problem with the lack of feets just for use the freaking Sam's Revolver.

    On Steam, Team Fortress 2 costs $20.

    The Orange Box, which has Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half Life 2, and the two Half Life 2 episodes costs $29.99.

    I'm pretty sure I can snag The Orange Box at retail for about $25.

    [all prices in USD, obviously]

    And, here's go my money for the Scoggings Erasers. (If that is a game of course). Thank godness April was my best month on Zazzle.

    Now, The Telltale Seals will have an easy target for sure. And, when I said for sure, I mean it.

    If you're interested in just TF2, most retail places in the US have it for $10.

    I'm one of those weirdos who can't play any FPS because of motion sickness. This has plagued me from Wolfenstein 3D to the present. And I don't get carsick or seasick very easily.

    I feel like I'm missing out on something.

    A few things to explain...
    - Did + verbal base: "did" already has the past included in it so you don't put it again in the verb.

    - for/to: usually, when "for" is before a verb, it's the -ing form. So if you're using the verbal base (that is the form without "ing") chances are it's "to". But prepositions are tricky because they seem so random from one language to the next.

    - much/many: "many" is for things you can count, "much" for things you measure. Now, you can "count money", but actually you're counting dollars, or euros or whatever, you don't count "one money, two monies", etc, so it's "much". Just like water, you can count "one bottle, two bottles" or "one litre, two litres" but not "one water, two waters" so it's "much", not "many".

    "feet" is already the plural of "foot", so no S needed. And questions are usually asked with "do" and the sentence is reversed. In the question you asked, you only reversed part of it. Technically I guess you could also have asked "TF2 costs how much?" but the more "normal way" to ask is "how much does TF2 cost?"

    I don't know how many of the mistakes were typos and how many were actual mistakes so I just tried to explain it all. Hopefully that helps!
    (Don't worry, it looks like I corrected lots of stuff, but it's minor things and you're perfectly understandable).

    Oh, and you forgot the subject in one sentence somewhere, in English you've got to put it in pretty much all the time or it sounds weird.

    Re-reading, you also used "do" as a verb. Most of the time, "do" is an auxiliary (used to carry the negative, the past, a question or to "repeat" a verb), and when it's used as a verb it's for "vaguer" things. If you've got a more concrete verb (play, make, etc) it's usually best to use it.

    Sorry if my explanations are confusing. I tried to explain but I'm not always very good at it :p

    Yep, please don't transfer codes to other people. Valve and Telltale are trying to do a nice thing for our fans here, and if our fans decide to turn around and take advantage of us it just teaches us not to be nice again in the future.
