[QUOTE=psyke;39716792][img]http://puu.sh/28qYh[/img] Word must have got out about the exclusive hat.[/QUOTE] That's a huge jump for 3 hours, I hope this kickstarted wont end by tomorrow. I'm a bit selfish here, as I'll be able to contribute tomorrow, wait, am I selfish? as I want to help someone else... but with an incentive.

[QUOTE=brokenCrown;39717015]I'd say a quarter of that are people who want the hat. You don't believe how big the fanbase for this game is for a Xbox Live indie fighting game.[/QUOTE] the PC doesn't get as many fighting games as xbox, so it makes sense that the ones that do gets ports do sell. Heck allot of my Steam friends even own Street Fighter vs Tekken, and that game is horrible

I'd buy Skullgirls because I moderately enjoy fighting games, but I just can't get around the gratuitous boobage and upskirts. It would be mildly uncomfortable to play, and incredibly awkward if/when someone else walks in and sees me playing it.

43.5 for me. Though I did download HL2DM and DoDS first so that might explain it.

As a note on spy from someone who plays a fair bit. [QUOTE=01271;39716452][img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/Untitled-1651.png[/img][/QUOTE] That's not technically true. That's the spread reduction, not the "time it takes you to aim" which varies from player to player. I'd cite the pistol as an example, just like it, the revolver has a faster fire rate overall but if you can aim well with spread applied you can do a lot of damage. I still do think the enforcer is overpowered in this regard because of this and I think it should receive an increased spread reduction time to compensate. In any case, I think that a gun playstyle with spy can be far more obnoxious with the ambassador than the enforcer when used well, but then players tend to have the appreciation that the spy is aiming well, even if they aren't playing stealthily. (It's a little bit like pyro with degreaser + flaregun + powerjack where you can appreciate the skill involved, but it's hardly playing as an ambush class a lot of the time) I'd also like to say that I don't think the dead ringer has too many issues with being non stealthy against good opponents. You can use the dead ringer stealthily, and you'll tend to be penalised for using it obviously against better opponents over using the invis watch, which it's a lot harder to be blatant with. The ease of getting out of bad situations you've put yourself in is somewhat offset by the increased difficulty of fooling people as to your location, although it can be a little cheesy at times, against better players it seems to be equivalent to the other watches to me. As to the spycicle I can't really comment as I really don't like the knife and would much rather use the kunai as a pyro counter, but I do think that the mechanics for it are slightly broken, not in an overpowered/underpowered way, just that they don't really fit the spy's role. I do use it with the deadringer to complete objectives that don't always require a knife such as taking out teleporters and pushing the cart, where it has a niche. Personally, I don't think most of the items on spy that people complain about are really gamebreaking when compared to a select few others, but I think that spy definitely has more issues with his "underpowered" weapons (namely the diamondback and the big earner), and these are what I'd like to see changed in future patches. There's no real reason for me to use these over other weapons whereas there is definitely reason to use other weapons over Dr Enforcicle. Spy is one of the few classes where I feel like there are weapons that really have no niche except for giving yourself a challenge like this, and even then you can occasionally use the diamondback to your advantage. In any case sorry for the wall of text.

Updates to Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include: Source Engine Changes (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM) Fixed a missing material when changing the value of mat_color_projection Team Fortress 2 Fixed an item description bug that would not display the not-tradable text for some untradeable items

Why the fuck does TF2 have to update now, I have a UGC match now.

Stranges (are/[B]are not[/B]) tradeable on the STEAM Market as of this update I can't wait for the day I can bold 'are'

any schema changes?

Did they get the go-ahead on making the Leviathan hat from Valve?

[QUOTE=brokenCrown;39717610]Did they get the go-ahead on making the Leviathan hat from Valve?[/QUOTE] Probably, I think they're smart enough not to promise something that might fall through they aren't really in a position to disappointing it's critical at this stage that they don't.

[QUOTE=RevengeDeath;39717623]Probably, I think they're smart enough not to promise something that might fall through they aren't really in a position to disappointing it's critical at this stage that they don't.[/QUOTE] Well i just contributed the $30, let's hope it's not an empty promise. I may enjoy skullgirls but that hat seems like it might be neat.

I think ill donate 30 dollars to the Skullgirls funding just because ive technically never used Indiegogo or Kickstarter before. I kind of have though because i tried to fund Octodad 2, but my payment didnt go through? Its why i hate having to deal with debit or credit.

It would be mildly uncomfortable to play, and incredibly awkward if/when someone else walks in and sees me playing it.[/QUOTE] With the way women are portrayed in the media nowadays, I don't see how this is an issue. That and the fact that I plan on playing Peacock, the one character who practically has neither of these.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;39715786]The Enforcer is still like that now. Hell, the entire premise of the gun is to directly [i]reward[/i] the Spy for fighting people instead of doing what he should be doing: stealth. If it were up to me, swap the damage bonus when undisguised for being a damage bonus when disguised. It promotes attacking from concealment in order to reap the benefit of extra damage and the element of surprise instead of just the current one, which is to give free extra damage to Spies who don't disguise at all or are caught out of position.[/QUOTE] [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1244623&p=39458981&viewfull=1#post39458981]Yep, that's what I had in mind as well.[/url]
