I love this flare gun, I loved it since it got to the workshop, because of the team yellow and the model. I hope that Valve accept this ingame.

this was very insightful (though for some reason near the end it really read like an advertisement lol)

Haha video even shows the program crashing

OH SHIT, IT'S TIME FOR AN AWESOME BLO- More behind the scenes stuff Welp, that's personally disappointing. :v:

Congrats Jal

I can't wait for the next blog post "How a Man(n) Gets Made"

A Pyro weapon? I just can't work out what this means!

according to the ids for the blog posts, this was written awhile ago.

pretty cool

Wow, what a boring looking weapon, no offense to the artist. I mean it's well-made and all but when you have stuff like [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=17514&searchtext=]this[/url] or [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731&searchtext=]this[/url] or [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=479&searchtext=]this[/url] floating around it seems like a questionable inclusion.

I'm more underwhelmed at the fact that it's another flare gun.

And looks like Valve is going to use workshop items for the pyro update. Stop being lazy Valve and get back to work. And please don't kill me I love the workshop but this just show the huge slackers they are now. Just my two cents.

And yet I feel the ceaseless stream of photos and ms paint edits submitted and stolen by Russian children will not come to and end. Still a cool blog post for the modeling illiterates such as myself.

I mean I guess it fits the TF2 style well enough but its kind of like putting a soup can prop and putting it in the pyro's hands one big "eh"

Is the video supposed to have no sound?

The Scorch Shot - Level 43 Flare Gun - Shoots pellets instead of flares - -100% burn time - Is a regular shotgun

What the hell was that at 7:08?

[QUOTE=Corey_Faure;36435981]What the hell was that at 7:08?[/QUOTE] It was put up pretty much in coordination with people finding out the URL of the first QR code. IIRC.

And if the items are good.

Oh boy, more flares. I'm damn tired of flares, and I expect this one, as nice as it looks, to be thoroughly meh. @Funny Hats: so you'd rather have a Black Box rip-off, that one shotgun that's in every game or a gun based off a design Valve themselves made which would suffer the same fate as the haphazard hazmat?

Then again, the Uber Update had the weapons designed for the large ammount of newbies that would be getting into the game that Friday, so it may be a good thing we didn't get easymode but innefective/easymode but broken Pyro/Engi stuff.

[QUOTE=IcyTruth;36435897]...what EDIT: oh wait, nevermind. the joke my head[/QUOTE] Would you care to explain? I still don't get it.

[QUOTE=Crimptor;36437030]Would you care to explain? I still don't get it.[/QUOTE] We sort of wanted pyro to have his own shotgun.
