How could this potato sack thing be real? its not on the steam store.

[QUOTE=MacD11;36302704]How could this potato sack thing be real? its not on the steam store.[/QUOTE] Check the steam page above you Also, it's funny how of all the Potato Sack games Killing Floor is the only one that doesn't get an individual discount. Well, good thing I have it already

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;36302703][url]http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7586[/url] Yay for already owning them all?[/QUOTE] Darn, I've thought they would replace the old ones.

looks like the deal is only sort of active. The image and description are there, but the description is still the old one

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;36302703][url]http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7586[/url] Yay for already owning them all?[/QUOTE] Wait, it's the same games again? Oh well. We never did get our special portal 2 skins did we?

I like how they didn't even change the description for getting the hat and skin. :v:

[QUOTE=MacD11;36302704]How could this potato sack thing be real? its not on the steam store.[/QUOTE] Because it is on the Steam Store?

also says april

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36302748]Wait, it's the same games again? Oh well. We never did get our special portal 2 skins did we?[/QUOTE] You did, they were a special flag with a skin of the game you played the most during the GLaDOS@Home thing.

[QUOTE=tso;36302761]also says april[/QUOTE] Badly copypasted description, just Valve being lazy

Tobor confirmed to be fueled by potatos.

Are you trying to tell me something Valve? Nobody thought the Potato Sack was anything other than a bundle, but oh boy was it. But it's over right? It's just a bundle now? [sp]But that's what we thought the first time.[/sp] [sp]tinfoil[/sp]

[QUOTE=MacD11;36302704]How could this potato sack thing be real? its not on the steam store.[/QUOTE] [url=http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7586]Because you weren't looking hard enough.[/url]

[QUOTE=OluapPlayer;36302782]Tobor confirmed to be fueled by potatos.[/QUOTE] oh god I hope not, I'd rather not play SMB for like a week and a half to unlock an update a day early two weeks from now. speaking of SMB, they really need to stop putting it in Indie bundles. I keep forgetting where I should classify it in my highly organized Steam library.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36302861]speaking of SMB, they really need to stop putting it in Indie bundles. I keep forgetting where I should classify it in my highly organized Steam library.[/QUOTE] put it in the "you think this will be a good idea but then you open it and see the level you were trying to do last time and close it" category

this was like the longest running con ever. They never made the Hard Hat craftable after a year, we all just thought they gave up or forgot it. Turns out it was because they wanted to give it out again...

Now that I think about it, GlaDOS was kinda sorta powered by potatoes and she was essentially a robot. With a robot update coming out soon and the Potato Sack returning, maybe it'll be an ARG this time involving the team fighting robots? Or maybe GlaDOS is gonna try and overtake all the TF2 bases in their universe. Or maybe I am thinking way too much into this and need a nap.

Wait, potatoes are back? Oh no... [video=youtube;_JUCfX1P1ik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JUCfX1P1ik[/video]

thursday's the night i guess? (sale ends)

Valve have to at least have to know that doing this would cause speculation to be flung every which way.

So another promo hat?

TF2 promo for Payday somewhat hinted at... maybe [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/12/valveoverkill-not-making-left-4-dead-prequel-making-something-smaller-but-really-cool/[/url] [quote]"Chet described Valve and Overkill’s new thing as “kind of akin to how in TF2 you might see some other games’ weapons get translated and put into that game.” “We’re doing something similar to that, but it’s a little bit more involved,” he explained."[/quote]

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36302748]Wait, it's the same games again? Oh well. We never did get our special portal 2 skins did we?[/QUOTE] That has the new AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!, not the old one.

>April 5th Confirmed that Valve have had crap stuck in the pipes this year.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;36302961]So another promo hat?[/QUOTE] more specifically, a reprint of an older promo that was never made craftable. This might have been why it was never made craftable [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Grimhound;36302990]>April 5th Confirmed that Valve have had crap stuck in the pipes this year.[/QUOTE] I love how they just copied and pasted it lol

New item schema stuff. Something about those mysterious promos and they added a new item called crafting bar level 1. [url]http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/commit/?h=teamfortress2&id=f8cdf06c700bc6a3db1a4ee81fe11ada922a9c2e[/url]

Also, yeah. This has the new AaAAaAaA game. I think that might be a mistake.
