Well, we're getting at least a blog post in August 24.
What makes you say that?
Team Fortress birthday.
I’ll bet you coins that they miss it. Not even kidding.
They'll do it for more of that wacky Valve brand humor, like the baby thing last year.
Steve Guttenberg will be very displeased in the event his birthday is not celebrated.
There is a possibility we might get something, but not on the day, specifically. Hence them missing it.
exactly "haha guys we suck at dates and talking cya"
damn dude, look at that gunt
well, that shouldn't be a problem nowdays.
this just made me imagine steve guttenburg blasting through a wall, grabbing a hapless manifestation of the TF Team and breaking their back over his knee, Bane-style they sure better celebrate his birthday
No wonder the heavy update isnt out yet, ol' Gabe keeps eating the (choose whichever is a funnier punchline to you!) TF team staff Heavy update new sandvich Sandvich models so the TF Team staff has to keep re-adding them New workshop cosmetic contracts
I'd hug Gabe.
"a fat joke a day keeps episode 3 away"
Ah, those were the days, back when I could enjoy gabe memes because I had optimism that Valve actually cared about anything other than money. I remember all the jokes online during the final hours of the Potato ARG, that Gabe's appetite was the reason the timer was counting down faster. Who back then would have thought that Portal 2 was literally the beginning of the end of Valve as we knew it - all because they couldn't get people to buy stupid hats for the co-op mode.
if it makes you any happy, we could pretend they're eating up to become big minigun welding shaved bears to get a feeling of how it is to be a heavy
I'm sorry do you mean "How it FEELS to play Heavy"?
Picked up an unusual grenade launcher. The hot effect looks good while not being too flashy like most unusual.
do people actually enjoy the steve gluttenberg thing?
step up gamers for another round of "lmao just raffle away itll be funny - dude in a pub i asked about this" this time you have the chance to win this fantastic item https://i.imgur.com/ZcIOyDR.png today's topic is "what will happen for the 24th blogpost of tf's birthday" - guess up right and youll get to be in the pool of possible winners. guess wrong and i guess you can just kinda go away idk [BIG WOOP] for ACTUAL INFORMATION ON THE FUTURE UPDATE [SNOWFLAKE] for TOWEEK IS THE WEEK and the 24th will be the climax of the update announcement/page/whatever [ARTISTIC] for FUNNY JOKE - Respond to this (without quoting the entire thing to avoid cluttering the page) and guess what it is right to receive a BONUS hat! [DISAGREE] for STEVE GUTTENBERG/BABY - again I'll be frank with you the 24th blog posts are always fucking hilarious, dont act like the baby joke wasn't good - so being optimistic I hope it's both a funny joke and actual information, realistically we are in for a simple joke, though winners will be snapped by the 26th, if I message / announce the winner and they dont contact me TOO BAD see ya on the 24th
They'll try to do a programming/reserve engineering joke in a way that's understood by everyone while plugging their Hackerone page for TF2 economy exploits and other kinds of stuff.
here is your blog post Team Fortress 2 It's about Insomnia, though. Not the first time slapped that on the blog instead of news.
I've read before on maybe last version that there was a rumor about JI being a test for something about TF2's future, and that it didn't pass. I'm hearing a very similar story being passed around a bit now, has anyone else heard anything?
Didn't pass? SFM short has almost 2.5 million views Increased peak players to almost 100K If they were betting on Dota 2 numbers or cutting support they should have just cut support to begin with.
I'm only relaying the information I'm being told.
i mean i've heard the rumor too from just playing matches with someone randomly bringing it up every single time i've asked where exactly they heard about it they just go "someone (usually a "friend") told me!" or say something along the lines of "i don't know" wouldn't surprise me if valve wasn't happy that this game doesn't have the numbers CSGO or DOTA have though, maybe if they did more major updates for the game every once in a while they'd see some higher numbers again!
I'm not really mad, more disappointed. Kind of fitting though considering 2/5 of the new JI weapons were useless out of the gate, and one was nerfed into the ground, and that Pyro is the around the same as before in terms of viability.
Do you have credable sources for that? Seems like a fake rumor someone would send you, especially since the comp updates weren't even ready for JI.
Heard that rumor for quite a while, I highly doubt it's anything else than a rumor. For example, Half-Life franchise was very successful, and we all know what happened.
I think they should organize the Saxxy Awards in a way that allows anyone to win. I think there should be two sections: Replays and SFMs, and then organize the subsections accordingly (Most Dramatic going under SFM, Most PWNage going under Replay). They could even bring back the original categories from the first Saxxy Awards. They should probably have 2 awards for their respective categories, say, a Saxxy for SFMs and something else for Replays. That'd give an incentive to record replays.
