[QUOTE=Cheezinz;36477456]IT'S A PY-BRO DOWN. COME AT ME.[/QUOTE] He wins [editline]24th June 2012[/editline] I just wasted most of my pyro items for crafting tomorrow or into the week, but fuck it I say it was worth it.

[QUOTE=tso;36477470]welp, we're nearing another day good luck to all contributors this coming week![/QUOTE] Yep, must be even tenser for them, especially if they've had a Valve comment in the last few months.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36477472]He wins[/QUOTE] This is a stupid-off, he does not look stupid. Title revoked.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36477495]Yep, must be even tenser for them, especially if they've had a Valve comment in the last few months.[/QUOTE] I bet [Square] and Jalcober are both laughing and have already broken out the bubbly. And Populous silently weeps.

awww man do i really need to read all 309 posts now?

[QUOTE=TheFishyG;36477508]I bet [Square] and Jalcober are both laughing and have already broken out the bubbly. And Populous silently weeps.[/QUOTE] Maybe they'll add snow sniper and we can all look back at Junkyard Justice as a hilarious anecdote. I wonder if Tinder is able to sleep at night, at all this week, with the Baleful Beacon in limbo and this being a prime time for it to be added.

Summer Shades really goes together with the Pyromancer, minor clipping, but it's excusable for how badass you look.

Forgive me for going back to the Degreaser/Axtinguisher problem, but would decreasing the switch rate make any difference? Granted you still have the problem of Pyro players going Degreaser/Reserve/Axtinguisher (like I do :v:) but that's the only way I can think of doing it besides buffing the default flamethrower again. Unless anyone agrees with me that the Axtinguisher should either do less crit damage or change to minicrits on hit, but that would have so many SPUF users bitching 'til the cows come home.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36477495]Yep, must be even tenser for them, especially if they've had a Valve comment in the last few months.[/QUOTE] Things are pretty damn tense over here. :v:

In 5 more minutes it will be monday for me. So I think I'll head off to bed. Don't want to be groggy for the big day

Say, is it actually easy to make those "1 refined for a craftable hat" deals? Now that I'm getting back in the game, I'm finally doing something about my incessant hoarding of items. Maybe I'll wait to craft em until the update, but I'd like to give lady luck a try and finally do something with my overflowing backpack.

Staying up til 2 so I wake up at noon and only have to wait 6-7 hours

The Pyro is probably the class most dependent on weapon switching and crits, and almost every Pyro uses the Degreaser. Problem goes: if you buff the other flamethrowers to make them viable sidegrades, the other flamethrowers will probably become rather OP. Nerf the Degreaser, and Pyros become unnecessary, seeing as a ton of Pyro players depend on the Degreaser as it is now and it'd also be harder to score a hit with it. Plus that'd pretty much mean that W+M1 becomes even more of a problem.

I like how demos are more reliable than replays, a system that was designed to fix demos breaking all the time

What exactly are we waiting on right now? A TF2 update? Or is Adult Swim airing Meet the Pyro tonight or something? I was occupied with other thing and lost track of this since Friday. Can anyone please fill me in with what happened in the past 2 days?

Man... I'm sad that I sold my Pyromancer now, everyones making sexy combos with it and I'm missing out. D:

Then [adult swim] put out a promo for their newsletter and said something big would be happening with TF2 and Valve this week; Sunday is the day they update their bumps, so some people might be looking out for new bumps tonight. And today, Monday (for some of us.), will hopefully bring Day 1 of the "Meet the Pyro" update.

You know what made this weekend fly by for me? Dysentery It was like a blur. Wouldn't recommend it. Still super excited tomorrow though, going to curl up on the bed and celebrate quietly.
