Major Update Speculation v19: Official Sponsor of the Winky Smiley - Games

We found the lecture valley thing like over a week ago, but I'll elaborate. Valve linked the jarate picture and the lecture valley page immediately after. This implies it's not just an AF joke.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this week the TF team is on vacation.

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;40239208]...or even reward an item to finders on a first-come first-served basis.[/QUOTE] Which they havent done since the WAR! update in 2009 and probably wont do again, especially with today's greedy traders.

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;40239208]Many Team Fortress 2 update pages contain hidden pages. These hidden pages usually contain hints to future parts of the update that have yet to be revealed, expand on the storyline of the game, or even reward an item to finders on a first-come first-served basis.[/QUOTE] I know. I have seen at least as many updates as you. Did you understand the significance of the date in my post?

[QUOTE=eggplant;40239777]I know. I have seen at least as many updates as you.

Yes, I will have to give Jarate to you, that is evidence. But seriously, dispenser hats? Ok, by that logic, I can't wait to buy myself a sex telescope along with some Mann-Co piano lessons!

[QUOTE=Raccoon99;40239389]Yeah. There is also Some Hidden Text on the First page. "Be Sure to drink your Ovaline" Sounds Like a Cypher to me.[/QUOTE] Was that what it actually said or was that someone joking around, ukulele guy style?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40239683]I'm going to go out on a limb and say this week the TF team is on vacation.[/QUOTE] and the dota 2 team will come back? (if anyone plays dota , he/she knows that if they dont deliver next week = ded gaem gg volvo disband)

I'm pretty sure the lecture valley thing is like one of things that Valve does where it throws out a few ideas they have and they see which ones we jump onto and then they work on making that content, they've talked about doing it before with the engi update video.

Ok. So just never say pageking ever?

The plan is simple, find out who's the spy. The Badlands can be the map, with 2Fort, Gravel Pit, etc. as the locations.

[QUOTE=StormBlink;40241586]What next? Monopoly where you pay in Keys and Metal for Unusual Hats?[/QUOTE] Nar, we've already got that. It's called Steam Community.

I won't talk about it because I don't want to spoil the fun if I'm right.

A bit off-topic, but I read somewhere that Valve isn't presenting anything at E3 this year. Did anyone else hear this or have a source on it?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40239683]I'm going to go out on a limb and say this week the TF team is on vacation.[/QUOTE] Robin is out until the 15th or some shit. Which makes the wait for some questions I had regarding employment even more unbearable. [sub][sub][sub]Among other things~ ;)[/sub][/sub][/sub]

I understand what a hidden page is, and what speculation is (having read ~120000 posts of it on these threads). I am just seriously doubting that anything on the Lecture Valley page is going to be added, as most of the things on there aren't related to TF2 in any way.

[QUOTE=eggplant;40242773]as most of the things on there aren't related to TF2 in any way.[/QUOTE] It's a hidden page for TF2. Checkmate. :v:

[QUOTE=eggplant;40242773]as most of the things on there aren't related to TF2 in any way.[/QUOTE] You trying to trick me or something?

[QUOTE=Mentlegen;40242883]It's a hidden page for TF2. Checkmate. :v:[/QUOTE] What about the things on the page, not the page itself?

[QUOTE=eggplant;40242993]What about the things on the page, not the page itself?[/QUOTE] They're Mann Co. products. And if that's not enough, the page has robots, dispensers and medieval stuff on it. Every one of those things could have something to do with the game itself.

At least the dispenser costume should talk to you if you followed the MUS like 1 or 2 months ago. And how isn't this related to TF2 when the eighteen dollar bread is basically a metaphor for TF2 (replace bread with game :v:).

Oh gee, [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=50]I wonder why napy would be excited about Sentry hats[/url]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40243135]Oh gee, [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=50]I wonder why napy would be excited about Sentry hats[/url][/QUOTE] Pretty sure that will never comes out :v:

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;40243324]Pretty sure that will never comes out :v:[/QUOTE] However, you seem fairly confident that dispenser hats are a thing. Why no love for sentries?

Could see the reindeer cosmetic getting in though Napy

[QUOTE=Raccoon99;40239389]Yeah. There is also Some Hidden Text on the First page. "Be Sure to drink your Ovaline" Sounds Like a Cypher to me.[/QUOTE] probably way late but that's a joke, it's a reference to "a christmas story"

[QUOTE=eggplant;40243387]However, you seem fairly confident that dispenser hats are a thing. Why no love for sentries?[/QUOTE] I never said dispenser hats. Something regarding dispensers, some kind of class that might be able to use ~costumes~, and a thing that was tested some time ago. [QUOTE=theharribokid;40243401]Could see the reindeer cosmetic getting in though Napy[/QUOTE] That's why i'm redoing it every year :v:

Ah new cloak plz
