Apparently these firings were due to routine yearly performance reviews [url]https://mobile.twitter.com/rygorous/status/301775174930423808[/url]

Bay doesn't seem like the sort of person who'd slack off enough to get fired...

The firings might have been Weakest Link-style. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI6gZxLnwdw[/media]

[QUOTE=Sliferjam Jones;39579418]Wedding chapel KOTH map. Saxton Hale shows up mid-round to marry players.[/QUOTE] Capturing point would result in something similar to event_lakeside. All players go to the middle of the map and clap while Saxton rapes the player with the highest points in the server while 1of 5 different Barry White songs plays to Saxton's grunts

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39579591]Bay doesn't seem like the sort of person who'd slack off enough to get fired...[/QUOTE] He probably left for his own reasons.

Even if I wanted to get Brutal Legend, my PC would not be able to run it anyway. And who every heard of buying a game for the hats.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;39579687]Even if I wanted to get Brutal Legend, my PC would not be able to run it anyway. And who every heard of buying a game for the hats.[/QUOTE] Yes because nobody does that. :v:

[QUOTE=Revolver Osha;39579715]Yes because nobody does that. :v:[/QUOTE] Just because they do that already doesn't mean it's not really stupid.

[QUOTE=Metashotzo;39579803]Just because they do that already doesn't mean it's not really stupid.[/QUOTE] What do you mean? Tons of people bought a max head and got a free game. Or the people who bought earbuds and got a free $1000 facebook machine

In Brutal Legend, you can find various "solos" throughout the world. I'd imagine the taunt is gonna be for Pyro, and it's gonna be a remake of one of these solos. Most likely candidates are the more common solos; [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9954IdNlEm0]Facemelter[/url], [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_FNBWdJHR4]Relic Raiser[/url], [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6USspWY7ms]Battle Cry (my choice)[/url] or [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIVnAfCivsg]Summon Deuce[/url]. Hoping it functions identically to Rainblower taunt.

I haven't bought any games just because for the hats, but I was on the fence about buying QC until I saw the promo items, then I got it.

Are there any pictures?

[QUOTE=Revolver Osha;39579899]Are there any pictures?[/QUOTE] Nil pictures. Unknown if there will be any before they're released/distributed(?) tomorrow afternoon/evening.

I feel something that isn't that good

Just as long as we have the precious precious andrew wilson.

so tommorow is the night? Think we are getting new crates?

[QUOTE=Barobax;39580142]so tommorow is the night? Think we are getting new crates?[/QUOTE] Either that or tonight (hopefully).

Whoa! Ten new pages, can someone hit me in the face with information?

[QUOTE=Barobax;39580142]so tommorow is the night? Think we are getting new crates?[/QUOTE] i hope so then i actually have a use for this 20$ i have besides brutal legends with a extra 5$ left..

Worst thing they could do is make the old Something Special for Someone Specials into stranges, and have them level up by ring notification.
