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

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37888935]you think steam is down because they're taking back the double items?[/QUOTE] [url=http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=32982170&postcount=514]It's a planned maintenance[/url]

I just logged in on TF2 and I just got a duplicate Medic and Spy coat! Sweet, maybe I can get some hats that I want now.

good good, I was just being pessimistic I guess

Does anyone have a saved picture of the Total War page when the sale was on? Did they state which items we'd get? I mean the Bundle page, not the specific sale thing where they showed the items we'd get in both TF2 and SK.

so did EVERYONE that had the games get the extra coats?

There's a second maintenance planned for later tonight, by the way.

these extra suits are going to be great friendly gifts

By the time DOTA 2 becomes less of a priority, the other games will get staffed again. If you look around, L4D and Portal 2 are dead, and they'll come back. The staff's just weirdly stacked because people can work wherever they want, and there's a lot to work on in DOTA because it's still coming out.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37889386]I didn't know sub-teams were assigned with free-will...[/QUOTE] IIRC, they have wheeled desks that they just roll over to whichever department they want to work with. That is, IIRC.

Yeah, they do. Fucking badass.

I think once Dota winds down, people will come back to TF2

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37889648]I think once Dota winds down, people will come back to TF2[/QUOTE] I think the people who like DOTA and DOTA-esque games will find another DOTA-esque game once it winds down. There's just a large amount of them, and they'll lose the interest they had in TF2 or never bother to check it out.

Valve only has DOTA 2, and I don't think everyone in DOTA 2 is working freelance.

I hate how the Freedom Staff, Frying Pan and Objector use Bottle responses. He calls it his bottle of scrumpy, when I know this was fixed last year.

You guys remember how innocent the first halloween was? You know, paper bag masks, explosive pumpkins, and ghosts. Now it's torn out eyes and cleavers stuck in your head. Also 666th post, here have a SFM render I made related to TF2 halloween [thumb]http://puu.sh/1aRrv[/thumb]

The big highlights were Harvest being a very good map and the Gibus. Such simpler times, although the next year was fairly simple too and was a blast.

Ooh, the coats were doubled? Maybe now I'll stand a chance at completing my Phantom of the Opera Spy set after all!

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;37889887]Demo's so drunk that it's all his bottle of scrumpy to him.[/QUOTE] The funny thing is that's the official explanation from Robin Walker as to why those melees are not fixed yet

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37889197]It can't end yet, I just got here a yearish ago![/QUOTE] Don't worry, it's not dying anytime soon: [url]http://store.steampowered.com/stats/[/url]

We beat Dota 2 omg, iirc we hadn't done that in awhile

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37889648]I think once Dota winds down, people will come back to TF2[/QUOTE] Not hardcore enough for those Blizzard players.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37889910]The big highlights were Harvest being a very good map and the Gibus. Such simpler times, although the next year was fairly simple too and was a blast.[/QUOTE] I don't really like Harvest that much, mostly because the spawn rooms are cramped and easily shut down.

What's the better description for my Freedom Staff to describe the events that occurred? "No man is entitled to the blessings of Freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." "Conformity is the jailer of Freedom and the enemy of growth." "Those who deny Freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." "Nobody can give you Freedom. If you're a man, you take it."
