New thread smell?

Time to sum up the rest of the thread now. Steam pipe, SkullGirls, Crate #50. Promos.

-Skullgirl hats were a bust, the devs didn't actually make a deal with valve before posting about them -New promos are for Lara Croft Unresolved news from the contributors were: [b]Old:[/b] -A picture of a corner of a portal 2 door: Sparkwire. -Pictures of Five guys burgers: Sparkwire, Void_skull. [b]Not too old[/b] -A picture of a corner of what appeared to be a helicopter pilot helmet for soldier: Psyke. [b]Recent[/b] -Pictures of metro stations: Void_skull. (probably joking) -A chart of numbers with the number 4 selected: Psyke. Am I missing any of them?

I doubt that we won't eventually see Skullgirls promos in time. It's likely valve was just incapable/unwilling at this time/for the kickstarter and we're more than likely to see something when it releases on steam in a few months. I really hope we see something surprising this month or next. I don't think I can handle shitty promo after promo much longer. In some ways I hope it;s MvM stuff, but in others I hope it's not Mecha Update was a good balance, let's have more of those and less botkillers.

Thanks for Civ III Ayane, never played the games before so it should be fun

Wait, what's this talk of Tomb Raider?

What if the Portal 2 box opened on April Fool's and gave you a message saying you got nothing, then the next day it gave you an item.

How did we blow through a thread faster than GC? thanks garry

[QUOTE=The Calzone;39802090]How did we blow through a thread faster than GC? thanks garry[/QUOTE] Because you guys [sp]ARE the GC now[/sp]

A bandage, yet another engineer belt and WOW DUDE, ANOTHER CREST.

[QUOTE=Cape;39802121]Because you guys [sp]ARE the GC now[/sp][/QUOTE] I have to say, last thread was probably the most on-topic MUS had been in quite some time. Most of the thread was about future promos. Albeit we had 4 days. But still.

[QUOTE=ElGrifuz;39802204]A bandage, yet another engineer belt and WOW DUDE, ANOTHER CREST.[/QUOTE] NO WAY DUDE!

Well even with all these promos, I bet the next big update's gonna be 95655994573.5*2

Aw jesus, I just found this graph on SPUF [url]http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&appid=440&from=0[/url] look at that Manniversary update. Wow! I remember it being broken for awhile, but it caused a substantial decrease in players right up until Christmas 2011 when things got stable again. They better be careful with Steampipe. Also interesting to see MvM added a lot more new players who stuck around long after the MvM update.

what is the steam pipe and all of this other shit america stronk

So they seriously did add the promo items 5 hours prior to the game coming out in america when it's been out elsewhere for ages..

[QUOTE=psyke;39802463]So they seriously did add the promo items 5 hours prior to the game coming out in america when it's been out elsewhere for ages..[/QUOTE] lol maybe they'll be tradable and craftable tomorrow

[QUOTE=psyke;39802463]So they seriously did add the promo items 5 hours prior to the game coming out in america when it's been out elsewhere for ages..[/QUOTE] can someone clear me up on these promos you keep speaking of?

The promos are cool and all, but I was hoping that they would release some more community stuff like they used to every now and then. It seems like they only add stuff during big events like the Winter Sale.
