[QUOTE=StormBlink;40052227]Everyone is getting Crate 50's and I'm just sitting here with a Rescue Ranger...[/QUOTE] Everyone is getting Crate 50's and I'm just sitting here with a normal crate.. Edit: I really want that strange bacon grease :v:

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;40052256]Everyone is getting Crate 50's and I'm just sitting here with a normal crate..[/QUOTE] Everyone is getting Crate 56 and 57 while I have gotten three 55s in a row. Valve even hates for me to get a slightly more valuable crate. Speaking of speculation, I have been watching the prices of the new Strange Parts pretty much stay stagnant for 1.5 weeks. I think either people really want these new parts or someone is manipulating the market. Someone already manipulated s. Holiday Punches a few days ago.

[QUOTE=LightFlock;40051912]I must admit I'd be very tempted to pre-order if there was an amazing pre-order bonus.[/QUOTE] And the fact that 5 or so amazing personalities are going to be exchanging banter while you play cards for TF2 items means nothing? Christ. e: the damn game is going to be what, 5 god damn dollars?

I think most people are doing it only for the promos. If you wanted the conversations, They will probably be uploaded to Youtube in 3 days and no one really wants it for the gameplay. As I have stated many times earlier, It is a pretty shitty RNG they are using to simulate hands.

As I have stated many times earlier, It is a pretty shitty RNG they are using to simulate hands.[/QUOTE] The guy who worked on the game's AI actually shared this with me (and the TTG forum) once - everyone has a base skill and aggression level, skill is static, aggression changes based on the character. At the start of a game, Tycho is very skilled and not too aggressive, Heavy is a little less skilled and a bit more aggressive, Strong Bad is notably less skilled and very aggressive, where Max is technically as good as Tycho but his aggression keeps changing between hands so it can lead him to do some very, very silly things moreso than the others. He never did share as to how the others' aggression levels change (other than what can be easily deduced, like Tycho playing a lot more loose when there's less people in), and in Hard mode they just play a lot more consistently compared to the Normal mode where their aggression is supposedly a bit more randomized. If nothing else, I think it reflected their personalities well enough. EDIT: as an additional note, he has said that he went to great lengths to ensure the computer never actually outright cheated, despite Max's claims to the contrary about his psychic powers.

you might be potentially challenged if you think the only reason people are excited for a crossover as apparently ridiculously retarded as PN2 is tf2 hats PN1 was "huh ok cool" PN2 is "what"

Telltale VERIFIES, they just RTed it. Image is legit.

[QUOTE=HyperTails;40052418]According to Telltale's twitter, something involving a Plane Engine[/QUOTE] Actually, that was a rumor. It was due to ninjas.

[url]http://www.thekeyparty.com/[/url] Site updated. Well guess that confirms Brock Samson.

I wonder who it is... :v:

it's the spy

My key party still hasn't updated

It's a shame that Valve (inadvertently) spoiled this whole thing. I doubt anyone would have predicted a Poker game with Sam, Brock, Chell, and Claptrap (or whoever is in it) based off this Key Party website but now everyone knows because of the promos.

Well most people don't list "CHECK THE SCHEMA, CHECK THE ITEMS LIST, CHECK THE WORKSHOP, CHECK EVERYTHING" when an update rolls around, they see what's in the patch notes and start playing.

[QUOTE=Claptrap;40054564]Well most people don't list "CHECK THE SCHEMA, CHECK THE ITEMS LIST, CHECK THE WORKSHOP, CHECK EVERYTHING" when an update rolls around, they see what's in the patch notes and start playing.[/QUOTE] The items were added to the Mann Co. Catalog in game as well, weren't they?

The Twitter account is Telltale Games' and the banner design is the same as Poker Night's. It may have taken longer for someone to put it together but we would know by now.

I miss the times when the items dropped before the schema updated so we'd get unknown items #356 and stuff. That was fun.

[QUOTE=Barobax;40052028]Turns out there is a new infinite Uber glitch :suicide: [b]Edit:[/b] It might actually be a hack. I'm not 100% sure, I've heard reports on both.[/QUOTE] I saw something like that happening on a server, a guy named "God Of Snow" Übered indefinately peoples of my team.

[QUOTE=Claptrap;40054564]Well most people don't list "CHECK THE SCHEMA, CHECK THE ITEMS LIST, CHECK THE WORKSHOP, CHECK EVERYTHING" when an update rolls around, they see what's in the patch notes and start playing.[/QUOTE] The items have been on the Trending Topics list on the Wiki for quite some time now. Unless someone was completely oblivious to the Wiki's existence they should have a general concept of what's going on.

according to the Dota 2 dev forums, Valve's vacation is next week Other than no update next week, I don't really know what else that means to TF2, other than obviously Steampipe will get pushed out another week.
