Thank you

[Drewsko]

It's still too early to start Halloween mode?

[Ern]

Oh good it's only for Mann Up games.
If it was for Bootcamp I would tear my hair out.

[QUOTE=Ermac20;38080233]there has to halloween crates or something[/QUOTE]

Too early. Next week I think.

[JXZ]

Hopefully it doesn't count losing connection.

That would be a little unfair for people with lousy internet.

[quote] Added a penalty system to deter players from repeatedly abandoning Mann Up games[/quote]

Only time I've done this is when I repeatedly went through matchmaking to reconnect to a server that I was kicked for inactivity from due to needing to take a piss. I went through about 9 servers, blacklisting every one that wasn't the right one, until I met back up with my friends and we finished the final wave on Decoy on the first attempt. They had to explain to about 5 people the situation and those people left so that I could reclaim my spot.

That's the only way that I know to bypass the ad-hoc connection restriction if I want to join my friends for some reason :v:

Can card upgrade in schema?

[ned_ballad]

Every weapon has a "can card upgrade" attribute now, weird

[Zeos]

Isn't the Portal 2 soundtrack free anyways?

Stranges are called "kill eaters"

Save your breath, the new schema entries could mean anything.

Well, suddenly rainbow world.

[TMBGFan]

[QUOTE=Zeos;38080347]Isn't the Portal 2 soundtrack free anyways?[/QUOTE]

[Psychopath]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;38080388]I smell texture error on gomixy's part, but is anyone else able to disprove this?[/QUOTE]

That's Stage 1, right? I'm trying to remember where that is so I can go scour the area once my tf2 updates.

[QUOTE=TMBGFan;38080396]maybe they're releasing it on a CD?[/QUOTE]

They are, iirc it comes with a dota2 invite also
