Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

Anyone else feel like we're at the point where we're only getting one major class-themed summer update, one Halloween update and one Smissmas update every year from now on? It's not exactly fair to judge, since that "pattern" doesn't even exist as it is, it's just like all I feel like we're getting anymore.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;39728740]is this really what the MUS thread is doing right now oh, how the mighty have fallen[/QUOTE] You need about eight boxes because I said the same thing and that's what I got.

We've genuinely reached a point where the tf2 team is no longer obligated to give us anything based on their previous update patterns. Each of the classes got their individual class updates and the missing meet the team videos got their updates. There's nothing left for us to expect them to attach an update to aside from the TF2 movie that Gabe offhandedly mentioned and really since that is literally the ONLY word we've received of it I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39728911]We need more of those hilarious (unfunny) parentheses phrases. They're really not used enough (used way too often).[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DJu3rUI.jpg[/IMG] This sounds like quite a clever and original idea (complete rip-off of me). Also myself and the cast love Skullgirls' personality and charm (funbags) and can't wait to see what else TF2 has in store for the year (phoning it in).

"OH SNAP THERE'S A FRIKING SNAKE IN MY HEAD"

Keep in mind that Valve loves their cash cow and doesn't want to see it die. I'm sure we'll be getting plenty of Mecha-quality updates in the future, should Valve know what's good for it.

[QUOTE=Bynine;39729201]should Valve know what's good for it.[/QUOTE] Which they most likely won't, unfortunately. And we'll never get a new Engineer pistol. [sup][sub]You heard that, Valve? Good, now go make a blog post introducing a new Engineer pistol.[/sub][/sup]

[QUOTE=Behemothbear;39729230]Or they can retire hats.[/QUOTE] The moment that they retire the Officer's Ushanka, I will never be the same, happy man as a Heavy, again. Even though retirement doesn't mean removing the hats that currently exist in peoples' backpacks, it still pains me to even [b]think[/b] about the Officer's Ushanka no longer being produced.

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;39729360]Hale will probably end up making the bears used to make the ushanka extinct. Damn Hale.[/QUOTE] That's just unbearable...

okay so pardon me for being extremely late, but how do you get the Leviathan hat?

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;39729360]Hale will probably end up making the bears used to make the ushanka extinct. Damn Hale.[/QUOTE] Excuse me, "used"? They're called "employees", thank you. The killing was just a facade to appeal to the Americans.

Samson is another obvious choice. Medic + Anything Valentin/Stanley (Dr. Shark) = glorius A Skull heart badge that everyone will want :v:

He has like, 6 by now.

Any chance we'll get some [URL="http://www.redlynx.com/community/blog/260-trials-evolution-gold-edition-pre-orders"]Trials Evolution Gold[/URL] hats? It's gonna be on Steam on the 28th. The motorcycle helmet for Scout or All-class would be pretty awesome.

[QUOTE=Slyphoria;39729743]The motorcycle helmet for Scout or All-class would be pretty awesome.[/QUOTE] They didn't make stuff like the Nanobalaclava, Horsemann's Head and Monoculus equippable by all classes all the time because it causes identifying problems or something. Like Jetamo said, Pyro would most likely be the only one to get it.

[QUOTE=SirVerbose;39728755]The Head Snake Now, you might be wondering what a giant snake is doing in this game, or more specifically, lodged in your chosen merc’s skull. If this is the case, and we're assuming it is, we feel obligated to scoff at you. Why? Well, we ask why there hasn't been a snake burrowing through our fine merc's cranial cavities throughout these years. To anybody other than our amazing, and admittedly already quite mentally damaged mercenaries, such a thing would be deadly, due to the piercing of the temporal and parietal lobes, so why are our fine mercs surviving this horrific parasite's attempts to create an army of snake controlled super soldiers? We don't know, nor do we care, but you probably do, and that brings us back to you. You have no sense of danger, do you? We like your style, but we have to warn you, due to legal formalities, that as you're reading this witty and not at all overly long item description, a HEAD SNAKE IS BURROWING INTO YOUR SKULL RIGHT NOW! Ha! Got you, didn't we? Of course we did. We're not only masters of comedy, but also masters of trickery. But we digress. This cumbersome and ugly item signifies the wearer's bravery, and undeniable ability to not die, despite having scales lodged in their cortex. Who's going to mess with such a brave person? We'll tell you who. Martin Van Buren. Ever since his inauguration as the seventy ninth chancellor of the USSR in the year 1200, Martin was determined to kill every head snake in existence. After killing several thousand of them in The Great Battle of Waterloo, Martin was known as the biggest badass the world had ever seen. Ever since then, the head snakes have been plotting their revenge, and now they're taking it! Go find a fine rich gentleman on the streets, what do you notice about him? Smooth skin, a well combed mustache, a dapper suit, and a bony white thing sticking out of his head. You might say "Willikers, that fine gentlemanne doth have a right spanking snake a-popping from his noggin! Forsooth!” and this would be a proper response. Alas, it would be too late for you to ask him why the strange fashion choice, as a head snake will already have taken you. Truly, the most symbiotic relationship the world has ever known. The head snake lives off of one’s brain fluids, but in return, the person suffering has quite a dashing piece of living headgear. It's as gruesome as it is elegant. And trust us when we say that this is the most elegant hat that you will ever (be) own(ed by).[/QUOTE] Are you a valve employee??? Seriously though this genuinely reads like something they'd whack on an item.

Sort of related to TF2 since it got a promo, but Bit Trip Runner 2 is fun and is definatly an upgrade from Bit Trip Runner 1. Also CHARLES MARTINET IS THE FUCKING NARRATOR
