The 'Meet The Medic' Megathread - Games

[QUOTE=peaceful guy;30591660]Fixed it for you [img]http://i.imgur.com/jsyTB.png[/img][/QUOTE] Fixed it for you. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21171698/completelyfixed.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Greendead;30592438]Well if that is a fake, then that is some of the most amazing trolls ever[/QUOTE] if you fall for this you legit need to get ended

If that mailing list were somehow real I'd be pretty pissed that they'd give the Eyelander random crits. Also they better not have hooked up laughs to the Engineer's positive voice command. What monster does that sort of thing?

[QUOTE=Smashman;30592401]Valve would never do that.[/QUOTE] Now, hold on a second. They might be community made skins!

There seems to be a small white spot (possibly bird shit) on the medic's forehead in addition to the soldier and pyro on tf2.com

What the fuck is going on? That update is actually real?

[QUOTE=xpod1;30592484]if you fall for this you legit need to get ended[/QUOTE] WE really need a pessimism rating. :/

[QUOTE=Evil Flames v2;30592405][img]http://i.imgur.com/XCePn.jpg[/img] That's the image he posted of the email.[/QUOTE] well seeing as that image says it was sent to all hlds members they why is nobody else freaking out about getting it? I for one have received nothing.

[QUOTE=luckyg;30592518]well seeing as that image says it was sent to all hlds members they why is nobody else freaking out about getting it? I for one have received nothing.[/QUOTE] Me neither.

I don't think cashworks was ever finished.

[quote]Loch-N-Load * Now reloads two granades[/quote] Gonna guess a lie.

Ned_ballad and Cructo are the only ones who posted anything about it.

[QUOTE=xpod1;30592484]if you fall for this you legit need to get ended[/QUOTE] We need to get ended if we trust two guys as repeatedly reliable and quick on the upkeep as them? I mean, I'm not ruling it out but it wouldn't be stupid to trust them given their history.

Edit

[QUOTE=xpod1;30592462]* Added new kill icons. Every instance of death should have a kill icon. lol nope[/QUOTE] I can't wait until the patch turns out to be real and everyone is on a Valve love bandwagon again

Didn't you guys read this: [quote]...with the new matchmaking system,...[/quote] If this is real, Valve messed up big time.

[QUOTE=xpod1;30592484]if you fall for this you legit need to get ended[/QUOTE] Wow. Go jump on a granade.

The follow up craze is building up slowly. Odd.

[QUOTE=Greendead;30592639]Didn't you guys read this: If this is real, Valve messed up big time.[/QUOTE] It's the new thing from the Beta menu. And people have gave it very good feedback, so, no they haven't.

[QUOTE=Greendead;30592639]Didn't you guys read this: If this is real, Valve messed up big time.[/QUOTE] It's already in the beta. It just autoconnects you to a server based on gamemode preferences/ping/player count.

[QUOTE=Greendead;30592639]Didn't you guys read this: If this is real, Valve messed up big time.[/QUOTE] How? You'll still have a server selection option, and new players can find servers easily now. It also gives players more variety.

[QUOTE=Greendead;30592639]Didn't you guys read this: If this is real, Valve messed up big time.[/QUOTE] Isn't that pretty much what they just added to the beta?

[QUOTE=luckyg;30592518]well seeing as that image says it was sent to all hlds members they why is nobody else freaking out about getting it? I for one have received nothing.[/QUOTE] I KNOW WHY. Curcto and Ned are actually time travelers, which is why no one else got the email. This explains why they always know of future updates before anyone else! It all makes sense now. Except this time they fucked up and posted it the day before! Update will be coming TOMMOROW night and everyone on HLDS will get an email then. Nailed it.

[QUOTE=Evil Flames v2;30592555]Ned_ballad and Cructo are the only ones who posted anything about it.[/QUOTE] They normally seem alright but I wouldn't put it past most people to fuck with everybody when given the opportunity.

[QUOTE=Gabe Newell;30592628]I can't wait until the patch turns out to be real and everyone is on a Valve love bandwagon again[/QUOTE] And then I have to buy backpack extenders :sigh:

well i dobut about after 4 days is been released in beta, they already release the matchmaking. Sound too wrong.

I emailed the hlds mailing list (so everyone subscribed, and those that got the original email) with the following. [quote]Can anyone confirm or deny an email that was very recently sent around. Apparently it originated from Jason Ruymen, and contained the information below. The Summer Smash has arrived! Celebrate the first day of summer with NEW, free to play TF2, a lite version of the classic hat based multiplayer game!

Please Forward the email to myself if it is real. Thank you. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Eesha;30592687]well i dobut about after 4 days is been released in beta, they already release the matchmaking. Sound too wrong.[/QUOTE] Nothing was wrong with it, everyone loved it, I don't see why they wouldn't put it in.

[QUOTE=KarmaPolice;30592658]It's already in the beta. It just autoconnects you to a server based on gamemode preferences/ping/player count.[/QUOTE] I'm a tad speculative that they'd add something to the beta and then confirm, over the course of a single weekend, that it'd be added officially. It seems like too rapid of a change, but I've been wrong about these sorts of things before.
