Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39552880]Day 1 Tuesday, Day 2 Wednesday, Day 3/release Thursday. It has been years how do people still not grasp this pattern[/QUOTE] i think many people know how a multi day update works , but (in my case) , i dont think a valentine's day update will have enough things as for showing them off for 3 days straight

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39552880]Day 1 Tuesday, Day 2 Wednesday, Day 3/release Thursday. It has been years how do people still not grasp this pattern[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's to generate hype and hold player interest.

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39552936]Christmas and Hallowe'en updates don't apply. 2012 was inconsistent due to the focus on MvM, which followed the 3-day regimen. [/QUOTE] If we look back at 2011, excluding Christmas and Halloween as you said, then only the Uber Update had any prior warning of all major updates listed in the TF2 wiki.

a tuesday update would be nice (and not unheard of)

well, most of these start with a random blog post informing us or giving us intrigue (hence the MPPHHH post that occured that friday last year) , or some comic (blood brothers , but in this case it was basically a week before that we were dealing with banana codes :v:) and later they will move on and show day one ...and so on

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39552880]Day 1 Tuesday, Day 2 Wednesday, Day 3/release Thursday. It has been years how do people still not grasp this pattern[/QUOTE] Yeah, remember the previous 3-day Valentine update? Me neither.

What I'm wondering most is why suddenly a Valentines related update and how big will it be? We had a February 14 update last year which only added the Ring as a Valentine-related item but will this update be entirely devoted to Valentines day?

I uploaded the SFM beta sounds, and removed most of the stuff that is already shipping with the current version of SFM, so you won't have some files twice: [url]http://source.maxofs2d.net/sfm/sfmbeta_sound.7z[/url] Enjoy!

[QUOTE=Rufia;39548280]I can't speak for everyone else here, but I'm not giving Max any special treatment. If someone asks you to do something that you can't do, you tell them you can't do it. You don't say "ok" then proceed to do your own thing without telling them and block communication.[/QUOTE] Some people confuse the power to be a dick with the right to be a dick. It's very unfortunate.

Ned, you have to update the OP! I'm so lost right now!

Does anyone know if NECA showed off the Heavy figure at this years Toy Fair? I'm thinking about getting him this summer, but I need to see what he looks like.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39549717]I can't find anything about this particular case in the [url="http://facepunch.com/fp_rules.php"]rules[/url][/QUOTE] To play a small bit of Devil's Avocado, those just cover the basics though.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;39550556]We've got a valentines update coming though[/QUOTE] Merely a rumor

Picture 3 actually has a Gaming Heads logo on it. Sorry!

[QUOTE=-Iker-;39553791]Wow that really looks good also they should make more l4d [editline]11th February 2013[/editline] gaming heads heavy is just a statue[/QUOTE] actually gaming heads were making action figures before neca.

Heavy gets three weapons too!? Why did Pyro only get 2! Was it that hard to make a flaregun...

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39553845]Heavy gets three weapons too!? Why did Pyro only get 2! Was it that hard to make a flaregun...[/QUOTE] I'm sure Pyro can hold the Shotgun. Just buy a second Heavy and throw everything except the Shotgun away.

They could work on the arms and face. He still looks like Soviet Stitch-Up Heavy. And OH GOD THAT FROWN. But I like how they added the Natty and Ushanka.

[img]http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/photo36-400x300.jpg[/img] proof that it's a gaming heads figure, by the by. this is [B]not[/B] the neca figure.
