Dude, if they introduce any new crate anytime soon, please let it be a good one
Valve is allergic to easy money grabs like that.
what the fuck would strange jumpers even track?
Distance traveled.
Rocket/Sticky Jumps, probably. Cannot be too difficult to track considering achievements track them.
That Crate would be soooo good.

this is kinda unrealistic toh
This bingo is not really that good. I don't mean in regards to the image quality, but in regards to what you have to do to punch a square.
Normally with the "internet bingo", the things on the squares are likely to happen or often apply to the thing at hand. Sort of like in normal bingo. Things like valve releasing a new case are pretty likely to happen. However that's not the case with all of your squares.
There are things that we have 0 idea about like whether a valve will release a strange dragon fury. There are a bunch of things that are not likely to happen. Things like "Cactus canyon"/"Asteroid" maps released, valve releasing metal sink, Random crit changes, Server browser changes *, or New comics coming out.
*Seriously, I'm pretty sure the server browser has worked the same even in older valve games. Quickplay being readded seems more likely.
no one is stupid enough to build their opinions around everyday pub play
I don't really agree, check out any E3 bingo and you've got a bunch of squares you have no clue if it'll happen.
As far as the things that are "not likely to happen" go:
There is more than enough speculation floating around that the new "gamemode" found in the code is Robot destruction, and thus Asteroid and possibly cactus canyon returning.
A metal sink is not unrealistic either. This year, bots have been taken down, which is an entirely economy motivated change - apart from this I also recall some youtuber visiting valve said that Ponyman was "excited to talk about the economy"[citation needed]
Random crit changes are not unrealistic either. We received a vote for it which shows that the TF Team has interest in knowing about the community's stance; To avoid the hellhole of randomcrit discussion with you, in the case of 80% of the community voting against them, why would it be unrealistic to see them getting changed?
Server Browser changes are not unrealistic either. In the past, streamers have said that the TF Team has shown interest in such a thing - this is quite a while ago now, however the TF Team has reused older stuff.
New Comic isn't incredibly unrealistic either given Major Updates usually come with a new comic. Let me Boomerang back to the Asteroid thing, which only connects it more.
So there you go. Ill be frank with ya the most insane thing in this image is probably comp/casual incentives.
As much as I would like that, there are most likely legal issues standing in the way of several weapons getting strangifiers/strange qualities. While strangifiers for things like the Nine Iron and the Tide turner would be fine (because there was no legal requirement outside of the Steam workshop agreement to get them added), getting them for other weapons might be a legal hurdle because of whatever agreement/contract was decided upon by Valve and the third party that owns whatever IP the promo item was made for. If memory serves me correctly, Valve also doesn't like hiring lawyers.
Were they not able to circumvent that issue by using Strangifiers (See: Lazor weapons)
A thing to note is is that possible is not the same the thing as likely. For instance: it is possible to unbox unusuals, but it is not likely to happen.
I haven't seen any of that speculation about the new gamemode or about it being RD. I know that there is a guy who is posting about asteroid every single day on r/tf2 (until it's added back into the map rotation).
I'm pretty sure that valve has always been against bot's farming items in TF2. It doesn't seem like it would be sign of change. There was the Cheater's Lament item a long time ago, and they made idling for items a lot harder a few years back as well. Interestingly keys are also back up to 35 refined.
If 80% of the community voted against anything, it would probably be changed. The thing is that 80% of the community voting against random crits is the unrealistic bit.
I haven't heard anything about the TF team showing interest in changing the server browser. When was this mentioned?
There have been gaps of about 2 years between the issues of the TF2 comics, and that was before the guy who was writing them quit Valve.
Jill mentioned something about it to Uncle Dane a while ago if I remember.
I can help.
Here is why you need ASIC to play comp with you:
Pros:
I have hats.
I am capable of playing TF2.
Cons:
Lots of them, but fortunately none of them are the ones that you have thought of.
it was sigafoo and they said basically nothing
sauce
That's what Bingos are there for: For things that are possible. Some things are more likely than the others, but that doesnt make them impossible.
If you didn't see any of that speculation, then you are blind. There isnt much to it either; It's just an idea. Connection should be obvious.
The reason keys are there is because of a lack of a metal sink and bots. They killed bots this year - that's pretty major. As already said.
You don't know about that. And we already went over it.
The rest was already tackled on. Look; I ain't saying this bingo is the word of god, I'm just saying that these things have a certain chance of happening. It's a bingo, alright.
I'm at the point of the year where I'm starting to feel starved of content. Before it was just a "yes this game should be updated" now it's becoming a "this game MUST be updated in order to keep it alive. Whats everyones thoughts on what we'll get / when?
My thoughts are take a break from the game if you're feeling "starved of content"
Important!
For those who weren't aware: TF2WH (tf2 warehouse) is shutting down for good at the end of this month!
You have a limited time to TAKE YOUR ITEMS BACK before the shutdown.
Due to a combination of hosting and Steam issues as well as the current state of the TF2 economy, TF2WH.com will be closing soon. Currently, it could be as soon as the end of the month. Trading may continue normally for now, but be sure to use your credits before then. From all of us here at TF2WH, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives for so many years, it will be missed.

Tf2WH was revolutionary. It came before sites like marketplace.tf and really set in motion a process that substantially improved TF2 trading for the general community. It offered a way to dump a bunch of excess mid-value items and be able to browse through a selection, not unlike an actual store. It took very little out of the pocket of its traders, and aside from a LOT of hiccups with its trading bots, was a quick and easy way to trade without having to worry about whether somebody is online, or whether they'll actually accept the trade still, or whether they even have the item anymore.
I definitely think marketplace.tf has outshined it since its release, but TF2WH was no bazaar.tf. It was a huge part of my TF2 trading for most of my ~7 year career. Many a nights were spent dropping 10 extra keys into the bot inventories and just browsing for stuff that I wanted, or stuff that was painted, or stuff that looked like a good deal.
It was only a matter of time before automation took over player to player trading in online games, but they helped set it up right, R.I.P.
I'm surprised WH took so long to finally die. I loved using that website around 2012(?), but it never improved too much.
It was a good service, sadly, others pop-up and improved on everything.
I've been trying to do contracts for Pyro after not having played in years. I need to get 4 airblast kills. Tonight I spent an hour on 5 different servers trying to find a Soldier or Demoman to reflect at. I found literally none.
What happened to this game, didn't Soldier and Demo used to be meta picks? Why can't I find any?
WH ded? Guess i'll check if I had any leftover credits to cash in on stu-
As your account has not been accessed in a long time, your account has been classified as abandoned, and you are unable to login.
Oh, okay. That sounds entirely reasonable and not at all stupid beyond belief. I doubt I had enough on there to care about, but seriously?
I would probably take it up as bad luck. Soldier and Demo are still very frequently played in casual matches I jump into. There is not always enough around to make a fitting push at times, but they do get played frequently.
Apparently the sniper rifles used to have no crosshair when unscoped, when was this changed?
Proof?

That said though, Last night I had one of my best performances as Medic ever on Badwater Basin over multiple rounds. This was after having not played for a long time (I had no idea that you can pick up enemy Medics' Ubers, for instance.)
My best moment was on attack at the final point, Ubering both a Heavy and a Demo and destroying their entire sentry defense, managing to escape behind enemy lines to get four Ubersaw hits, and then Ubering again to cinch victory. Before that I was running Quick Fix on defense to both make major pushes into their front line with a Pyro that was willing to play ball over voice (I said I was going to Uber him, he said no it's a bad idea, I said just trust me and he went with it, and then after the Uber he said "Yeah that was actually a really good idea"), and to save my entire team with quick heals when the other team tried to uber. I haven't played this game in many years but I had people over voice going "Awesome job, Medic" multiple times and it made me think I really found my own again. Used to main Medic back in the day and never got those sorts of results or that sort of praise.
Glad I picked up this game again, on the whole.
thermal thruster + backburner is hella fun.
