Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

That reminds me: what do you think the odds are this'll be the year we get a new PDA? Even just a strange one that tracks teleports, sentry kills, ammo and heath replenished, etc.

[QUOTE=zipziggy;39625709]Electric bugaloo will have content added for sure; as it has been Robin walker approved Also Tf2maps mvm contest[/QUOTE] Electric Boogaloo is getting added into the game?

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;39626509]Electric Boogaloo is getting added into the game?[/QUOTE] Parts of it are *speculated* to be.

[QUOTE=COSTA;39622865]The guy who did the Cow Mangler taunt.[/QUOTE] Is the cow mangler taunt a reference to something?

[QUOTE=The Baconator;39626668]Is the cow mangler taunt a reference to something?[/QUOTE] It's notoriously sloppy looking as it's sped up and the sound plays at the wrong time because of this.

Has anyone tried this method of getting a Tux on an alt account yet to see if it actually works? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiCYjIFa3d0[/media]

[QUOTE=Lazlo;39626799]What should I do? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wknjbPX.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Been happening to me, just play it anyway and it'll work.

[QUOTE=Fine Hats;39626472]That reminds me: what do you think the odds are this'll be the year we get a new PDA? Even just a strange one that tracks teleports, sentry kills, ammo and heath replenished, etc.[/QUOTE] Less likely than getting a new Spy watch.

[QUOTE=RevengeDeath;39626692]It's notoriously sloppy looking as it's sped up and the sound plays at the wrong time because of this.[/QUOTE] Can someone actually make a video of what it should look and sound like? I would, but I'm too lazy at the moment.

[QUOTE=Chaofanatic;39626864]Been happening to me, just play it anyway and it'll work.[/QUOTE] What do you mean play it anyway if TF2 wont start?

So uh, when did they distribute the etf2l medals?

anyone know if there will be a taunt only or if there will be a weapon to use it? because playing that guitar solo would be weird without a guitar

[QUOTE=Tako_Vengador;39627595]anyone know if there will be a taunt only or if there will be a weapon to use it? because playing that guitar solo would be weird without a guitar[/QUOTE] Using the taunt will probably just pull the guitar out of your ass. It's been done before. [img]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/3/35/EngyGuitarSmash.png/109px-EngyGuitarSmash.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Tako_Vengador;39627595]anyone know if there will be a taunt only or if there will be a weapon to use it? because playing that guitar solo would be weird without a guitar[/QUOTE] Air guitar.

[QUOTE=Tako_Vengador;39627595]anyone know if there will be a taunt only or if there will be a weapon to use it? because playing that guitar solo would be weird without a guitar[/QUOTE] It's tagged as a taunt in the description, so we can assume it will be an action slot taunt. Tf2 has had [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPVSak_LJwg]magical guitars[/url] for a while now anyway.

sigh. too bad right. i really wanted pyro to have his meelee and rape everything with a guitar solo

[QUOTE=Tako_Vengador;39627772]sigh. too bad right. i really wanted pyro to have his meelee and rape everything with a guitar solo[/QUOTE] There's something to be said about pulling a guitar out of nowhere and rocking out. Kill cams will never be the same. And I'm pretty sure that trade servers are going to be something special to behold this week, more SMNC than tf2.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwIOqLPNrXE[/media][/QUOTE] At least the TF2 guitar taunt won't be $10, and can be used by all 9 classes instead of just the one you bought it for.

[QUOTE=Lazlo;39626925]What do you mean play it anyway if TF2 wont start?[/QUOTE] The message pops up for me as well. I just close the message and it starts up like normal.

[QUOTE=Lazlo;39626799]What should I do?[/QUOTE] i get that error 80% of the time i want to play, i usually try again twice if that doesn't work i restart steam and that usually works.

Usually whenever I get a TF2 start-up error, I Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then Start Task Manager, then stop the HL2.exe process then retry starting TF2. It has worked for me all the time so far.

[QUOTE=Lazlo;39626799]What should I do?[/QUOTE] Just a hunch but try deleting your bin folder.

Looks like the medals are dropping.

However I can't see them as my game is fucking horrible to look at...

Anyone know how to fix it? (and yes I am running Direct X 8)

[QUOTE=Wariopunk;39629815]Looks like the medals are dropping.[/QUOTE] Oh look! It didn't even take them a year this time around! Actually, I'm not sure. I lost count.

[QUOTE=Wariopunk;39629815] A lot of items have this weird fire overlay on them, even the Spy-cicle Ice material from a backstab. Anyone know how to fix it? (and yes I am running Direct X 8)[/QUOTE] Don't run Direct X 8.

[QUOTE=davidaap;39630109]Don't run Direct X 8.[/QUOTE] I have to because my PC is a bag of shit. And before anyone says get a new PC, I'm currently saving up for a new one.
