"The Tone-Deaf Turret" A small, pocket sized turret that speaks when you taunt/perform certain actions. And yes, it sings idly.

I hope Skullgirls gets promos because the missed oppritunity with Sega Racing 2 is dumb. Obviously its gonna be tits for Pyro.

[QUOTE=Yukinari;39510625]I hope Skullgirls gets promos because the missed oppritunity with Sega Racing 2 is dumb. Obviously its gonna be tits for Pyro, as ive been saying that for years now.[/QUOTE] It's going to be all class tits for everyone BUT Pyro.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;39510480]I know what is inside the box. There is a key that unlocks the dairy that leads us on another ARG for the next major update.[/QUOTE] that sounds amazing but i highly doubt valve is doing that since the box is about portal all i can think is portal 3 arg or half life 3 or hl2 ep3 and source 2 is coming out soon so maybe.....

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;39510480]I know what is inside the box.

guys why did they make a whole new button for switching resistances on the vaccinator? why not make it the reload button? because you can't reload a medigun so it has no use otherwise. on that note, why didnt they merge the "rage pushback" mvm effect of the minigun with the vaccinator's "special action" button? in fact, reload works for both. or if you're going to use a special action button for new weapons now, this would be the perfect reason to actually merge the two. (instead of TAUNT BUTTON for the minigun. seriously who the fucks idea was this)

[QUOTE=NeoDement;39510557]Music of the Spheressssssssssssss[/QUOTE] I'd want Music of the Spheres in as much as you(I fucking love that entire section of the game) but I'm thinking it loses it's awesomeness in a short burst, such as during a taunt.

To the people who know a thing. Will it include hats?

i hope genuine portal gun

I'm kind of hoping we get a new set of unusuals sometime soon. Some really fancy stuff, like lava exploding like a volcano, a frozen hat, a tornado. You know stuff like that. I wonder how many arms and legs people would pay for stuff like that...

Thanks. (Why is the Coffin Case even allowed to be unusual)

I like it.

[QUOTE=Goodwell;39510353]I'm starting to think they actually forgot about it. Like the diary.[/QUOTE] pretty sure the diary is just an experiment to see if people are willing to value an item highly (2-2.5 buds for diary) even if said item is not a weapon or cosmetic, or even usable at all

[QUOTE=The Baconator;39511134]pretty sure the diary is just an experiment to see if people are willing to value an item highly (2-2.5 buds for diary) even if said item is not a weapon or cosmetic, or even usable at all[/QUOTE] Lord, I hope not. That would just be depressing.

[QUOTE=Revolver Osha;39510460]What if whats in the box is boombringer type item that uses portal songs? It'd make sense.[/QUOTE] looping_radio_mix.wav, that's all what I want

[QUOTE=The Baconator;39511134]pretty sure the diary is just an experiment to see if people are willing to value an item highly (2-2.5 buds for diary) even if said item is not a weapon or cosmetic, or even usable at all[/QUOTE] The fact that some people still have the Capacitor equipped actually makes me sad. People want the items to have some use.

You know what I hope for? I hope that Valve decides to make a promo update on Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - New N' Tasty. Cosmetics aside (and hopefully no reskins), I can imagine there being a new Mann vs. Machine map alongside, and it could be one of the two places: #1) Monsaic Lines - The bombhole could have its unique model to go with the theme of the map. Defend against the onslaught by robots built by [del]Gray[/del]RuptureFarms! #2) RuptureFarms - [b]This[/b] is where there's a possibility of having a reverse Mann vs. Machine; deliver a Payload cart into their territory in order to win against the robots.

I don't think Promo maps are going to happen.

[QUOTE=Fine Hats;39511322]I don't think Promo maps are going to happen.[/QUOTE] We've had one with Sleeping Dogs, I don't see why that wouldn't be a possibility.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;39511328]We've had one with Sleeping Dogs, I don't see why that wouldn't be a possibility.[/QUOTE] Due to the fact that the sleeping dogs one was the idea of Square enix and it was a real push even for that.
