Auf Wiedersehen, Dummkopf!
The Medic

Ze Goggles are a community-created headwear item for the Medic, and was chosen by Valve to be released with the second wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. They appear to be a pair of chunky, military-spec night-vision goggles.

Trivia

  • Ze Goggles' description is a reference to one of Rainier Wolfcastle's lines from The Simpsons' Season 7 episode "Radioactive Man", which has since developed into a meme. The line Radioactive Man yells out when he is splashed by sulfuric acid is "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"
  • Ze Goggles are also a reference to the Ecto-Goggles (officially dubbed the Paragoggles in Ghostbusters: The Video Game) which appear in the Template:W series; their name originally being Ect-oh Goggles. This may be a reference to the fact that the Medic looks quite similar to Egon Spengler, and that the Medi Gun and backpack he wears bear a resemblance to the Neutrona Wand and Template:W respectively.
  • When moving this item around in the backpack, it makes the same sound as the night-vision goggles in Counter-Strike: Source.
