Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

Next monday?

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;36333411]Next week is the week![/QUOTE] I'm starting to buy back my 18th theory, so it's possible.

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;36333411]Next week is the week![/QUOTE] You're telling me I gotta deal with yet another week of life before we wait hours for something that probably won't happen?!

you should name your civilization Facepuncians and make Garry your leader. And then name each town for a different member and see what happens.

Yeah, well, sounds like this week is done. It's so late I can't even be bothered to get wasted.

it might be getting a little late for a patch, but we've got a lot more hours left for potential Day 1. Jesus, the Scout update blog posts were at like midnight EST some nights.

why is this thread so packed with people? Go to bed you chumps

Welp, updates happen around 2 AM over here. Next Thursday I have an exam at 4 PM, AND an exam the Friday at 10 AM. Both important ones. And pretty much same deal the following week. Awesome, just awesome. Since February, I've been waiting, but no, nothing of note happens. Goddammit.

[QUOTE=sasurai;36333439]You're telling me I gotta deal with yet another week of life before we wait hours for something that probably won't happen?![/QUOTE] Probably. It seems too late for an update now, I mean it's possible, but it's more likely that we won't see one. I think the Replay Update hit insanely late, around 11PM or something EST, but there was a HLDS email and with a whole new mode being included in this update I think they'd want to give servers a heads-up.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36333462]it might be getting a little late for a patch, but we've got a lot more hours left for potential Day 1. Jesus, the Scout update blog posts were at like midnight EST some nights.[/QUOTE] I distinctly remember those being at 3-5 pm EST.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36333442]you should name your civilization Facepuncians and make Garry your leader. And then name each town for a different member and see what happens.[/QUOTE] It's already called Cuntsmania. With a communist Cuntsmainian government. The Cunties' are a prosperous people, a multicultural rainbow of citizens from all the other CIV's I crushed. EDIT: guys, if anything is going to happen, it's Monday. I was probably a week out when I said this Monday, sorry.

They do late blog posts at this hour, or even within the next 3 hours. That's what I would expect. I don't understand you guys hoping for a day one of a big update. Those don't ever come out without Valve teasing us for at least a weekend.

Oh well, exam this Tuesday as well, great. Having 6 exams in 2 weeks should be illegal.

[QUOTE=Rigged237;36333483]why is this thread so packed with people? Go to bed you chumps[/QUOTE] Not going to bed at 5:47 PM.

so remember when I said nobody seems to have seen Meet the Pyro? well, Helljumper (capotain creator) did! He went to Valve 2 weeks ago to playtest "stuff" And he had lunch with Brandon, where the following conversation happened, [quote] "No let us pay. It's on the company. Wait... have you ever bought keys in TF2?" Me: "Yes" "Oh, well there you go. You already paid."[/quote]

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;36333568]Not going to bed at 5:47 PM.[/QUOTE] 7:49 PM here, and the NBA game is just starting.

Well TF2 might not get an update, but SMNC is getting dinosaurs.

And someone called the Balloon Master. WHO HAS A BALLOON FOR EVERY THING CAPTAIN SPARK DOES.

oh great SMNC my favourite game which is totally relevant to this thread

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36333649]oh great SMNC my favourite game which is totally relevant to this thread[/QUOTE] well game updates every Thursday, so i thought id share some info.

why do they ship 1.5 gig weekly updates? Holy hell, I don't even have bandwidth caps and that's crazy. I couldn't imagine a person with caps ever being able to keep SMNC updated.

They're working on making a seperate patcher that'll work better.
