Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

Just got a botkiller sniper rifle, and I must say: it looks a lot better in motion! Someone did a nice job on these. Pictures make it appear as if the only difference in first person is a rope or something on these guns, but the jigglebones actually make the skull sway back and forth in a very satisfying way. (also a good complement to my obnoxious sniper!) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TiFQp.png[/IMG] I'm still gonna see if I can sell this for another tour's worth of tickets, though.

the little yellow bit is actually set up for paint, it's not used though. No idea why it's set up for paint, it's not team colored.

[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;37376528]i wish we could actually fight merasmus instead of whatever spooky abomination he summons[/QUOTE] they should make him spawn by having the soldier randomly spout out a line about how merasmus still hasn't done the dishes, followed by him angrily summoning himself in response

[QUOTE=Damian0358;37377456]I just thought of something! They should give a Golden Wrench (a new one with the words "The Winner's" at the beginning) to anyone who assisted the main guy who made the video that won in the Second Saxxies. (Assisted means like map creator, person who made the music, people that helped by giving ideas. Voice actors still get Saxxies)[/QUOTE] That doesn't make sense to restrict something that has absolutely zero correlation to classes to a singular class. Why do you think the Saxxy is an all-class item? While the Golden Wrench was distributed through crafting and crafting doesn't have much to do with any of the classes, it happened during the Engineer Update, which facilitates it being an Engineer item.

Has anyone experienced this bug in MVM? It's a pretty simple one to emulate although it doesn't 100% happen. Just be a spy and equip the spycicle and allow yourself to get burned, thus melting the spycicle. The bug: once the spycicle melts I am stuck in the disguise select (he has the cig box out and it's blocking my screen). No matter what I press, it keeps resetting the cig box animation in that he keeps bringing it back up with the woosh sound. I can't stab or shoot and I can barely see when it happens. Very scary stuff to happen randomly.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37377651][t]http://puu.sh/Y9Yg[/t] I designed a possible next Halloween boss, although I think it may be too scary[/QUOTE] That's actually a minion, the final boss is Mister Royzo

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37377651][t]http://puu.sh/Y9Yg[/t] I designed a possible next Halloween boss, although I think it may be too scary[/QUOTE] Imagine fighting a giant skeleton (mr royzo anyone?) and the minions are those things. I dunno man but i would be scared shitless.

Two things that might happen at the second Saxxies: 1. Replay being brought back: Ever since they showed it being SFM only, many people thought that they might not have a chance due to being outclassed by professional animators. So, what I think, Valve brings back replay into the Saxxies again with a few of the categories, but the currently announced categories say SFM only. 2. Making seperate Saxxy categories for all the Valve games: Now that SFM has assets from other Valve games, it would only make sense that there are categories for all the seperate games. Best TF2 video, Best L4D2 video, and others. Also, an optimistic re-write of an idea I wrote: The Golden Wrench being involved*: A new renamed Golden Wrench called "The Winner's Golden Wrench" get given to the people that helped in a indirect way to the main video that won one the categories (Indirect means like map creator, person who made the music, people that helped by giving ideas, while voice actors still get Saxxies). *I was thinking in a way where you helped something, kinda like how Engineer helps other Engies. Still, it is just a optimistic idea. Um, I have no idea what to put in this pageking. Music? [video=youtube;pW-9JlII3UU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-9JlII3UU[/video]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37377426]the little yellow bit is actually set up for paint, it's not used though. No idea why it's set up for paint, it's not team colored.[/QUOTE] don't even understand why it's set up for that since its on a weapon, unless the next manniversary update implements paintable weapons there's no point to it.

[QUOTE=Tobor;37377774]Imagine fighting a giant skeleton (mr royzo anyone?) and the minions are those things. I dunno man but i would be scared shitless.[/QUOTE] What if it's a giant skeleton that functions like the HHHH, and as you wittle his health down he progressively loses more and more of his bones and size, until he's just a single skull hopping around on one leg bone.

It's not entirely out of the question for an update tomorrow instead of today, like with just before the 2nd ARG. However, today seems more likely though, like last year, where the update was the day before TF's birthday. We still have a few hours to go for today, so don't discount anything.

Valve is at the controls, a CS:GO update was announced to be coming on the new fork of the mailing list. It'll be interesting to see what order CS:GO will come in between Dota 2 and more importantly, TF2.

Did they do anything besides the party hat and noisemaker last time?

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37378173]Did they do anything besides the party hat and noisemaker last time?[/QUOTE] Other than the birthday beach ball, no.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37378173]Did they do anything besides the party hat and noisemaker last time?[/QUOTE] Added a new version of sillygibs called "Party Mode". The only real difference is the beach ball.

Item & matchmaking servers are down for me.

[QUOTE=1112e;37378275]Item & matchmaking servers are down for me.[/QUOTE] Same here, since around 6:15

Yeah, there are some scattered issues.

I asked Tom Bui some questions about the Saxxys, among them was [quote=Me]2. If the VGA preshow is in December, then are the Winners going to be announced before December 31, with Dec. 31st being the latest you'll put up the winners?[/quote] and he said [quote=Tom Buiii]2.) Details will be forthcoming soon.[/quote] So at least we know that's part of the upcoming Saxxy info.
