[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36818853]for whatever reason Valve has decided to entirely ignore him, even so much as to not reply to people that normally get fast replies, when he's mentioned.[/QUOTE]

What's sad is that they probably think I am doing this just for the community weapon, when I am not. My intentions are to improve the paintability of hats that need it. I could care less about a community weapon.

Promos are a bit eh, but the actual HA team sounds pretty good. Every time I try to play it I just start 10,000 games and never finish any of them though :v:

Could be worse, I guess. For some reason Scout always ends up having white hair or pointy ears.

Kinky.

[ned_ballad]

Ninja Cowl looks like it could be a misc, but it'll probably be a hat

[tso]

pretty gross promos imo

tribal bones is alright tho

edit: just realized everyone gets the spy mask for the game, not the ninja team? that seems like it should be a typo

[ned_ballad]

probably means a patch tonight to add these in

my purchase might depend on if the ninja cowl is a hat or misc

ninja cowl + AC hood

[ned_ballad]

Ninja Cowl (which will probably be head skin) + No Mercy + Kunai

Spy just needs the sandals that are on the workshop.

[tso]

a man was wearing those sandals in front of me in line at the grocer yesterday

Did you beat the shit out of him and report him for stealing?

[NeoDement]

lol @ scouts eyebrows

[ned_ballad]

oh, it's not a pre-order bonus, it's from buying content in-game, so I guess we won't actually be seeing these items in-game for awhile.

With HA being a one-dollar iPad app I imagine the content won't be terribly costly.

A lot of iPad/Pod games cost next to nothing/nothing on their original platforms.

Boom, 10 bucks on PC.

[ZVAARI]

Those aren't too bad. Since those promos are from buying packs in-game, I suppose the game will be free/terribly cheap and the items won't be tradeable, similar to achievement items?

[Monokarhu]

I'd pay an euro or so for that mask. Maybe even an additional euro for the bones.

[sp]I hope the mask is paintable.[/sp]

Is Hero Academy free to play? There's no price listed on steam.

[QUOTE=Rigged237;36825200]Is Hero Academy free to play? There's no price listed on steam.[/QUOTE]

Because you can't have ad based f2p games on Steam, it'll have a purchase price. Buying the game is how you get the Ninja Mask.

[QUOTE=tso;36824765]a man was wearing those sandals in front of me in line at the grocer yesterday[/QUOTE]

I guess it's safe to say that he was wearing a [i]genuine pair[/i].

Tonight's

[ned_ballad]

given the lack of activity this week, maybe we're back to weekly thursday patches

It's going to be ad free, so it's probably F2p. I bet "buying" the game means getting a full dlc pack.

Ok, so I received the replica Sandvich today:

Only to find that it has a scratch at the tomato...the paint rubbed on the plastic container:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bJXCH.jpg[/IMG]

I emailed my guy immediately, he said that it wasn't due to the delivery but that he bought it like that from 3A toys. He didn't mention this to me so to make up for it he offered a full refund.

It's very difficult to get these at fair prices so I said I'd try to get it restored by the 3A company. He felt really bad and said that he'd send me a Companion Square TF2 code to make up for neglecting to tell me about the scratch. He'll be sending me the companion square code soon. I'm impressed at his effort, really stand up guy.

Interesting note #1: 3A sold extra Sandviches and Companion Squares at SDCC during the preview show the day before Comic Con. So there were some people who didn't pre-order on the bambaland website on Jun 26th and still managed to nabb a few of these guys by simply going to the 3A booth on preview night.

Interesting note #2: These are what appeared after I input the Sandvich code:

For some reason I received a mann co store package with the Sandvitch box...? [I]shrugs[/I] Also, you can't place the Gift Box in an action slot.

Also, here is a bonus animated gif done crappily for you guys:

I suppose that's a way to make up for the $50 purchase :v: That's a nice item for a collector, I wish we had this kind of stuff here because I can't afford shipping prices. Heck even importing from Japan is less expensive, I paid almost no shipping prices back when I bought a game from Japan. Valve charges too much for me.

[Psyke]

I'm back. what's changed since i left to move house about a week ago?
