Major Update Speculation V16: The Monoculus RIFT Well Spun Hat Promo Edition - Games

Brock's Locks are the rarest then, if we are looking at hats and miscs that can be commonly gotten.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;39982653][B]COME ON RE6 PROMOS[/B][/QUOTE] We do already have RE6 promos in the pipe, it's for L4D2.

[QUOTE=spd12;39982745]We do already have RE6 promos in the pipe, it's for L4D2.[/QUOTE] my thought was that since the L4D thing was happening they'd do TF2 as well. I don't think that's an unreasonable assumption.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;39982653][B]COME ON RE6 PROMOS[/B][/QUOTE] but RE:6 is a bad game my die-hard Resident Evil friends that defended RE:5 around every single corner and insisted that it was a masterpiece could only muster an "alright" for RE:6

Fucking a' even just giving a helmet to the pyro so he could be HUNK would be awesome [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=The Calzone;39982770]but RE:6 is a bad game my die-hard Resident Evil friends that defended RE:5 around every single corner and insisted that it was a masterpiece could only muster an "alright" for RE:6[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Gia273W.png[/IMG] point being that quality of a game doesn't have a direct correlation to whether or not the game will have promos.

[QUOTE=Drury;39982413]Not for the traders, though. Even painting your hats with expensive paints makes it barely special for them. They just take it as if you were a simple peasant and won't pay more for your hat, unless you start doing commentaries on youtube where you talk about how you moved in to a house with nonfunctional toilet. So yeah, it might be special for you, but it wouldn't save the economy.[/QUOTE] fuck the economy

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39982370]self made hootsalot and community wiki cap wompa stompa combo usually puts the unusual braggers in line Reminds me a of a MvM game I was in where everyone had wiki caps and self mades except for the random dude who wasn't in our party who had an unusual football helmet right when they were retired and he was trying to brag about it. Psyke was like "I HAVE 27 SELF MADES" when he started going on about "look at my rare hat!"[/QUOTE] he was really adamant about selling his stranges too

I wish Sonic Generations randomly got promos right now so people could be buying that instead of garbage like RE6. Or Sega Racing 2 since i still think Sega is missing out by not giving that game promos either.

Mother of fuck what is your avatar

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;39982948]Mother of fuck what is your avatar[/QUOTE] gnomes need lovvin too

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;39982948]Mother of fuck what is your avatar[/QUOTE] More like what's with YOUR avatar, I just keep staring at those boobs, and one time my dad walked in to see what I was doing over the holidays and when he saw CUNT DESTROY he flipped out.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39982473]this is how I know you're not making the story up [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3797350/ShareX/2013-03/2013-03-20_20-18-57.png[/img] The only thing that's rarer is the memory maker but no one really cares about it When the 2013 saxxies will be given out they'll probably start outnumbering golden wrenches tho[/QUOTE] Those are weapons, not "items" Notch's head, the three giant top hats for map stamps and such, Amber's rad as hell hat, and those two other contest winner hats off the top of my head.

[QUOTE=RevengeDeath;39982362]Not killing floor 2 incorrectly labled "DLC 2". It's been sine corrected and confirmed by TW.[/QUOTE] That's going to be a huge DLC then, considering it adds 14 levels to each perk, and unlockable weapons.

OPTIONAL TF2, CS:S, and other Source engine games BETAs update for 3/20/13: Via HLDS: [quote=Valve]* Linux client: Fixed crash trying to connect to server with any setting other than sv_pure -1. * Linux client: VPK tool now supports signature functionality * Client and dedicated server: fixed sv_pure command not showing current pure status[/quote]

I think RE has more potential for something better than the Anger though. :v: [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Outro-intro;39982991]More like what's with YOUR avatar, I just keep staring at those boobs, and one time my dad walked in to see what I was doing over the holidays and when he saw CUNT DESTROY he flipped out.[/QUOTE] Someone on TF2 asked me if I was the guy on facepunch with the titty avatars. :v:

[QUOTE=HyperTails;39979181]But that doesn't start until 19 July in Australia/Melbourne[/QUOTE] WHOOPS. I read it as March 19-21, might still get lucky If I can scrunge up some dosh and a mate to join me.

A small part that motivated me to make an SFM film for 2012 was definitely the Saxxy. A more major part was making something that would help improve the SFM. We submitted for Original Universe, but because there were so few entries (4!) they only picked a winner with no nominees. We even got some of the Saxxy winners to protest to add nominees to Orig. Universe, but Valve wouldn't budge. The best part? Valve's rejection motivated me even more now for Saxxy 2013. I won't be doing anything like the experimental 2D SFM video anymore, since it's clear Valve didn't like the message but I'm def. aiming to win. I'm going to miss Bay's video and his absence but, watch out 2013! One of those Saxxys has my name on it! ---- More on topic, with the news (rather old news) that Steam Pipe will allow for a more regularly updated TF2, I wonder if that means we will see more community items as a result?

I may not have a Saxxy, But I do say that it should get it's own taunt. One that shows it in all it's glory. Holding it aloft amongst the poor peasents/film critics while Meet the Medic music plays .

iirc it's the only all-class melee that shares the pow taunt [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] jesus as I typed that I realized that all class melees were only added less than a year ago and we already have a bajillion of them

Why was the last MUS called "Apocalypse Now! (In a Few Weeks)"? On the most recent blog post they're obsessing about a robot apocalypse... What do you know, ned?

it was, but only for demo/soldier. It didn't become all class until last winter. [editline]21st March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Darth_Toast;39985077]Why was the last MUS called "Apocalypse Now!

On a Poker Night 2 related note, if you all remember that Valve just recently announced their early access program on Steam, I believe the Poker Night 2 Steam Entry mentioned early access. In which case, I'm intrigued as to why the promos were added so early? Will they give them so soon to people who test the game?

About the moneys: yes, that guy tried to buy my account. He tried to stalk my friend who also got it, because he lives in the same city he does. His nickname is Rins. We were in one replay category and when I got announced as winner he became whining to me if I can add him to the credits (even if his video was next to mine and one per category rule). Man, he changed his nickname to Sad Rins, than Very sad Rins, than Very [x2] sad Rins and kept like that for half of the year! He already has Golden Wrench and he is into rare weapons. Guess what's he is doing now? He claimed himself as "VS Saxton Hale" creator (who is actually Dr. Rainbolt Dash, birdcage co-creator) and... asked him to be added in co-creators for an SFM movie about Saxton. They got to the finals in comedy, but someone overdid him. Again ;). His plans? Study SFM? Nope, he said he will keep looking for good videos next year and whine about adding him to the contributors list.
