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

Shouldn't it have already closed? Also ned, if you aren't here to post the thread, what information should we have on the First Post. We have almost nothing to speculate on, so for my First Post I included information about the Promotional Item mishap, I had posted that the Robotic Engineer does exist, but is not in game.

He's waiting for the thread to get closerto the autolock. It isn't exactly blazing past at present.

I'll be here to post the thread, it's got like 2-3 days left.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37876043][img]http://www.1mage.net/images/bannerwrw.png[/img] I must be really bored[/QUOTE] I was going to suggest we turn into a name the next thread, thread, but you already won.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;37876134]Also we have MvM tours confirmed to be on the way. WOuldn't be surprised if they shipped/were the main point during this Halloween[/QUOTE] I would like a koth/cp map remade for halloween with an exclusive boss (Redmond and Blutarch ghosts?) and a new MvM tour with an exclusive boss. Or maybe a wave of Horseless Headless Horsemenn.

[b]Or maybe a wave of Horseless Headless Horsemenn.[/b][/QUOTE] That actually sounds pretty cool. They'd have to have a health nerf though, otherwise it'd be borderline impossible to win.

What if (after learning the identity of the mystery mann), we have some sort of Mann Family Reunion? You'd have the Horsemann, the ghost of Zephenia, the reanimated corpses of Blutarch and Redmond, Gray would probably be in there somewhere, as well as the mystery mann.

Aahhh, the speculation is again on the air, how did I miss this vibe! :3

Major Speculation Thread V9: Holiday Restriction: Halloween/ Full Moon

Hey Guys. I can't wait to get to wear my Halloween Promos again. Won't it be fun to try them with all the new stuff that's come out since? [t] http://filesmelt.com/dl/Damnit_Valve_3.PNG [/t]

I may have missed something here but: did the valve+adult swim partnership create anything other than the chicken hat? [edit] Redmond is dead, miss him miss him.
