Probably later like Day 1.

Hah, I just realized that Valve, once again, played us when it came to the whole blood vs. oil debate.

When was the official post time for day one (EST preferred)?

It was intended to be the blood of Redmond and Blutarch.
[QUOTE=alwaysrage;37231622]Did you convert it to a .vtf?[/QUOTE]
Yes :(
[QUOTE=alwaysrage;37231992]The blood was intended to be the blood of Redmond and Blutarch.[/QUOTE]
True.
Why did we even debate that again? Why would there be oil? Just because machines run on oil?
[QUOTE=Rageguy;37231927]so when is day 2 actually coming?[/QUOTE]
I can assume around 6:30 PM at CDT.
Edit: Meant to say PM, not AM.
AM would just make no sense.
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this, but this is from the MvM blog post:

saxxy = sexy
This is irrelevant but god damn do I love the way the blog poster writes. It's so perfect.

One guy (who had a Marty McFly Avatar) was skeptical that the blood on the front page was actually something else because the blood's color was a little off.
Yes we were that starving for information.

According to the mvm page sentry buster is much bigger then sentry.

Yes, the one next to the scout is definitely the spy.

Well, ned found that the bowman and another tobor I forgot about pictures were in a desert map and not the map we were shown.
[U]Warning[/U]: :words:
I found it really interesting that 3A toys had a toy line called WWR (World War Robot) so I decided to search the internet for speculation maybe related to the Sandvich/Companion Square. I figure it would be the perfect time to actually reveal the 3A code items this week as they as MVM and 3A Toys themes are very similar (though not the same).
[URL="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=32247486&postcount=485"]I found a 3A toys fan making interesting speculation in SPUF.[/URL] Although, I do not agree with all of this person's speculation I did find it informative to an extent:
[I]edited to reduce size:[/I]
[QUOTE]Hey guys, I'm not really a TF2 gamer, but I'm big into ThreeA toys, so I figured I'd mention a few things that may or may not tie into MvM:
1) Last month, Valve and ThreeA (toy company) collaborated on a pair of Valve-related figures. Each of these items came with a code for an in-game TF2 item. The items are immediately redeemable, but are sealed gifts that Valve will be opening at a later date. Nobody knows what's inside them.
2) The [Companion Square] is from a series of toys called "World War Robot" which deals with a world-wide war between man and robots. Specifically, all the countries of the world are battling, and they use robots (as well as men) to fight each other: [url]http://www.threeawiki.com/World_War_Robot[/url]
3) About a year ago, Ashley Wood (owner of ThreeA) tweeted that he wanted to make a videogame. He later mentions that he has "buddies, many that run the biggest companies" and talks about how big the audience on PC is compared to consoles.
[url]https://twitter.com/RealAshleyWood/status/98184435102523392[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/RealAshleyWood/status/98190315470585856[/url]
[url]https://twitter.com/RealAshleyWood/status/98194734463459328[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/RealAshleyWood/status/98196455151509505[/url]
The only tidbit on the game itself is that he mentions he's calling it "WBR". One of Wood's other series is called [URL="http://worldsbestrobots.com/"]"World's Best Robots"[/URL] (same initials) which essentially evolved into "World War Robot".
4) Half a year after those Tweets, the Valve/ThreeA partnership was announced: [url]http://www.tomopop.com/breaking-valve-threea-partnership-announced-23888.phtml[/url]
If Ashley Wood was looking for a big-time game developer to help him realize his vision, he couldn't do much better than Valve (which he's now very tight with).
5) Check out the images in these photos: [url]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1172309465327203988/55A0A00420ACBD7AF5ED8ACE112655275EB09FAA/[/url]
Note the robot design in the second photo. The single-eye head design looks similar in style to the Armstrong series robot by ThreeA/Ashley Wood (from WWR): [url]http://threeawiki.com/Armstrong[/url]
Anyhow, all of this could be connected, or it could be coincidence. But the fact that Valve isn't revealing these 2 items yet means they're waiting for...something. And there's a chance what they're waiting for might be the MvM update.

[B]*[/B] It doesn't look the same, the only similarity is the the single eye.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I have no idea what they could put in from the 3A universe as even though the WWR is similar it would still be out of place.
However...what if they are weapon reskins? Just imagine one of the classes packin' the heat of the right robot:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/y2HZRl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LRW9Ul.png[/IMG]
Maybe the Sandvich box contains one of the WWR mini-guns:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3U7xEl.jpg[/IMG]
Although I don't want to suggest another Rocket launcher (we have...enough of those) it would be fun to see a Beggars bazooka reskin with 3 holes (instead of 4) of this:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mUZrql.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EnFJfl.jpg[/IMG]
Ambassador is my fav weapon design, so I def wouldn't mind seeing a huge-ass pistol like this:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9MJRIl.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CFMScl.jpg[/IMG]
At the end of the day though, I think Valve will just end up doing this with the Sandvich/Companion Square Box:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jDXLi.png[/IMG]
Even if it turns out to be a 3A toys baseball cap, the speculation is 99% of the fun!
(and that's why we are here aren't we? :wink:)
