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

[HazzaHardie]

[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;36303556]Well, that throws my "Glados is controlling the robots" theory out the window.

But it's still possible that Aperture could be involved, considering that it was formed in the 1940's.

Mann Co. could have funded a robotic mercenary project, with Aperture providing the robotics. And something went horribly wrong, creating the TOBOR incident.

Cave Johnson arguing with the Announcer, anyone?[/QUOTE]
It would be amazing to have the announcers voice replaced by Glados' for a period of time

oh.. no contest / arg text anymore.. :/

[QUOTE=AbrahamLincoln;36303533]Archaeologists believe there was once, in fact, a "consistent theme" to TF2. Some of the most skilled analysts estimate that the period was around the 60s, but further examination of the art style fossil will be required before a conclusive result is reached.[/QUOTE]

Don't you hate when Carbon-14 dating studies don't show conclusive data?

[Drury]

Well, TF2 universe is separated from Half Life/Portal one.

With the Multiverse in Portal 2's Workshop, i wouldn't be surprised if they said there was a "TF2 Aperture"

I actually like to believe TF2 is officially set in the mid-late 80's now.

I mean, most items are 80's references rather than 50's-60's references at this point. It just feels more comfortable. It's a personal headcanon thing, though.

It's like how I consider Simpsons seasons 1-19 and 20+ to be two separate series that utilize the same characters and a similar setting. It saves me a bit of rage thinking about how different it is.

I think it's set in the 3060s where the fashion has returned to how it was in the 1960s so it's sort of like a retro-futuristic theme which is why there is a mixture of modern and old items such as the deus ex items etc.

Other months:

If it's in July, it's a Friday. One day after the usual.

If it's in August, it's a Monday. One day before the semi-usual.

September 13th is a Thursday. Close enough.

Ghost Recon delayed 2 weeks, promos still available until June 26 now (was suppose to end today)

[ajrhug]

[Grimhound]

I think I'm going to go and set up a new garden since there's nothing going on yet. Need to plant 50 onion bulbs and a bunch of potatoes.

[HerSilverHammer]

I really do hope for an update soon.

June 23rd is in 11 days. In 11 days, the Uber Update will be a year old.
As of five days ago, Meet the Sniper turned four years old.
Four.

Also, it's my birthday this weekend. :3

[QUOTE=Zannabluke;36303096]How 'bout this, with the recent Potato Sack Reunion?

[Goodwell]

Potato Sack Reunion implies either absolutely nothing, or that something is gonna happen soon.

God i hope it's something happening.

[ObiWonTwo]

Well, I'm repeatedly crashing when I attempt to access the TF2 store, so maybe that means something.

But probably nothing.

Didn't someone before say that found some more stuff to do with tobor in some server files or something.

[editline]12th June 2012[/editline]

Oh yeah, it was this:

tobor_crskd
(2.TF_Matchmaking_TOBOR_CRSK"Š
search_tobor_crsk
(2.TF_Matchmaking_TOBOR_CRSK

I think the other guy found more though.

[royaldanney]

Matchmaking? Seems like Raid Mode is made availlable for the quick play feature.

[ned_ballad]

Can someone give me the email to send my resume to, I can't open email links.

They probably just want us to know that they're working on something big and that it will (hopefully) be coming soon.
