Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

Shit, now that guy is giving away codes from the looks of it on /r/tf2. While giving away is still better, he still has me suspicious. Guess I'll wait a bit longer to make a thread to see what unfolds.

Just a quick question everyone. My brother got a tradable, non-vintage Pyrovision goggles from a hat drop. Is that normal?

[QUOTE=eggplant;36651373]Just a quick question everyone. My brother got a tradable, non-vintage Pyrovision goggles from a hat drop. Is that normal?[/QUOTE] Yes it is. They drop like any other hat for no reason, and iirc are also craftable like any other hat.

[QUOTE=AlfieSR;36651422]Yes it is. They drop like any other hat for no reason, and iirc are also craftable like any other hat.[/QUOTE] Actually, it isn't craftable. Pretty weird. It doesn't say not craftable in the description though.

I'm getting so antsy waiting to be able to play the game, just so I can submit my schema changes. Now that the workshop's been filling up with more and more submissions that only consist of vague ideas, I'm getting worried that I'll just look like another "hey,wouldn't it be cool if" asshole. I mean, I'm not far off, but at least they can copy-n-paste the recipes and new item stuff. Paints getting droppable pretty much put me back at square one, and I had nothing to show for it. At least if it was a submission at the time, people would have already seen it, and I wouldn't have regretted starting on it before then.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36651515]did you email them?[/QUOTE] Yeah.

On the weapons that don't crit-glow, do any of them have a reason not to?

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36654331]On the weapons that don't crit-glow, do any of them have a reason not to?[/QUOTE] Lollichop and cow mangler are set up for paint Nothing else has an excuse

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36654331]On the weapons that don't crit-glow, do any of them have a reason not to?[/QUOTE] Cow Mangler doesn't get Crit Boosted at all, so yeah, there's a reason.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36654345]Lollichop and cow mangler are set up for paint Nothing else has an excuse[/QUOTE] Isn't the Phlog also set up to paint?

[QUOTE=Damian0358;36654396]Isn't the Phlog also set up to paint?[/QUOTE] That glow is annoying and inconsistent, but it does glow enough to read well from a distance, and it does technically glow

[QUOTE=Pie_Tony;36649489]I know it's a bit late to the conversation, but could someone send me a code for the robot chicken hat so I can give it to my younger sister who's F2P? I did register on another email but I think I was too late D:[/QUOTE] So no ones got one then? drat and double drat.

If I ever get my code, I'll send it your way! But, you know.[I] If[/I].

Steam is now finished downloading Team Fortress 2...

[QUOTE=Pie_Tony;36654973]drat and double drat.[/QUOTE] Dammit Dick Dastardly get out of my head

Theyre sold out of Balloonicorns on the valve store? You fuckers better get more in stock because i am not going to haggle with traders to get a genuine one.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;36656201]You're buying a real life one just to get a genuine virtual one? :v:[/QUOTE] At least you don't have to get a [sp]probably tortured by said group of[/sp] Balloonicorn off some spreadshit-loving trader. Plus, you get a real life copy if the item server's down!

I kinda want to buy a real Balloonicorn, fill it with helium, attach it to myself with near-invisible rope and whenever someone asks what it is, I'll tell them that "I don't see any floating balloon unicorns. Are you sure you're not insane?"

Alien Swarm updated!? What!?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36656414]Alien Swarm updated!? What!?[/QUOTE] A update for Alien Swarm? I wonder what goodies they're adding if they're even adding something.

50mb, so it can't be that much...

Looks like just a SDK update. From the Steam store: [quote=Alien Swarm devs]- Added shader source code. - Matchmaking system supports mods with more than 4 players. - Mods store their config.cfg separately from the base game.[/quote] And MAN is this ever a shit pageking

well, many other games are starting to update with summer sale bonus content. Looks like this is going down next week

[I]Indie game: The movie[/I] just had a 140mb update. Interesting to see how that would be involved in a summer promotion.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;36656201]You're buying a real life one just to get a genuine virtual one? :v:[/QUOTE] Im dumb, i didnt realize Valve Store isnt the only place with them. [url]http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/eceb/?pfm=Search&t=Balloonicorn[/url] You still get the code too.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36656490]well, many other games are starting to update with summer sale bonus content. Looks like this is going down next week[/QUOTE] I predicted something would happen the week of the 9th. Booyah.

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;36656318]I kinda want to buy a real Balloonicorn, fill it with helium...[/QUOTE] The skin of the balloon is too heavy for it to lift when filled with helium. They probably didn't want people to spend ~$40 on something that would pop easily.

Hmm... my TF2 Beta just updated. Interested to see what balances they put in this one.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36656828]I predicted something would happen the week of the 9th. Booyah.[/QUOTE] So a robotics convention in Sydney correlates to a Steam Summer Sale? :v: On a more serious note, I wonder what TF2 will do for the summer sale though. Seeing an update would be cool, but I doubt anything will happen beyond generic reskins like last summer. :/ It's disappointing because good summer themed items are in the workshop too, like the Super Soaker Solider pack or the Ice Cream Sandvich.
