I saw the lobby in game before getting the update :v

new weapons boner time

I'm opening the game to see what the stats are And what the promos be

Do we know which of these are weapons and which are hats? Also, are there any pictures of it yet?

I'll get this out of our systems before the next page is filled with it: "New sapper, omahgerd!"

Recipes yet?

Well there's no new items in the catalog. And no recipes.

blog post where are you

Finally! New weapons!

Oh god awesome

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;37058184]Well there's no new items in the catalog. And no recipes.[/QUOTE] no schema update yet, hang on

I think this is the Red-Tape Recorder but i may be wrong: [IMG]http://files.gamebanana.com/img/ss/srends/4f8856d902c65.jpg[/IMG]

I'm hoping it is, though. We have yet to have a weekly community item in a while.

Oh my god, finally.

I like these threads more when UberMunchkin does them. :(

oh fuck oh fuck this is awesome

Marxman, a bow?

They sound like weapons but has anyone gotten in game to confirm it yet?

[QUOTE=mooman1080;37058322]They sound like weapons but has anyone gotten in game to confirm it yet?[/QUOTE] The item server is updating right now.

Can we expect fireworks from this update?

[QUOTE=Zadrave;37058335][IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/8U06.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] It's a sapper, cleaver, sign, and minigun or flamethrower it seems.

That nose and glasses is the Marxman huh?

[QUOTE=Zadrave;37058335][IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/8U06.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] So we have a possibly Pyro/All-class neon sign, a recording tape sapper for Spy, an all class or Spy only Groucho Marx misc, a new Sniper shirt, a throwable cleaver, and what appears to be a new minigun with a dragon motif. Interesting.

groucho glasses for spy or for heavy do you think?

i bet those items are promo items for Sleeping Dogs
