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

So wait, who got a flies gibus, and why?

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;40302710]So wait, who got a flies gibus, and why?[/QUOTE] guy found bug, used it, reported it, got email from DrunkenFool stating that they will give him untradeable unusual, he picked flies gibus

I suppose flies is a fitting effect for a bug-finder.

So what is the optimal hat/effect combo effect to pick in that situation for maximum worth? (if you can't pick unused hats like the Dota ones and unused effects)

[QUOTE=hogofwar;40302782]So what is the optimal hat/effect combo effect to pick in that situation for maximum worth? (if you can't pick unused hats like the Dota ones and unused effects)[/QUOTE] Blizzard Holiday Headcase? Burning HOUWAR/max/bills? Ghosts Juju? Sunbeams Summer Hat?

[QUOTE=hogofwar;40302782]So what is the optimal hat/effect combo effect to pick in that situation for maximum worth? (if you can't pick unused hats like the Dota ones and unused effects)[/QUOTE] Depends on your opinion of worth Eerie orbiting Flames Itsy bitsy Spyder though...

[QUOTE=hogofwar;40302782]So what is the optimal hat/effect combo effect to pick in that situation for maximum worth? (if you can't pick unused hats like the Dota ones and unused effects)[/QUOTE] well you cant really have a maximum worth since it will be untradable, but I guess a sunbeams houwar If I could have any though I'd have a circling heart lumbricus lid since that is my favourite hat

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;40302847]well you cant really have a maximum worth since it will be untradable, but I guess a sunbeams houwar[/QUOTE] Forgot about the untradeable part though, but still.

I would have done something like Eerie Flames/Searing Plasma Aspect. You'd want to pick something that can't be unusual, but would look nice with a particle. Now if that Lightbulb robot version of the Aspect ever gets in, oh man, that'd be just sexy with sunbeams

I'm pretty sure flies gibus was a glorious choice.

It's ~themed~ !

it's the CSS conversion, it just happened via HLDS email. So TF2... soon. It's really happening

I would have picked burning flames Point and Shoot. Then again, almost every unusual effect would look cool on it.

Anyone else having trouble starting TF2? I started it, and it was unusually slow. Once I connected to a server, I closed it since I wasn't getting any in-game audio. Now whenever I open it, I get an error that says Steam Startup() failed: Steam Startup(0xf,0x003DE378) failed with error 1: failed to take master pipe connection lock I'm only asking here since it says "pipe". Oh god retard page king

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40304325]it's the CSS conversion, it just happened via HLDS email. So TF2... soon. It's really happening[/QUOTE] is this it? the big moment of truth?

[QUOTE=Spagetto;40304558]is this it? the big moment of truth?[/QUOTE] Honestly, getting rid of the validating on every start up issue is a big enough deal for me. I'd play TF2 way more if this wasn't happening and it wasn't a good 10 minutes from "I want to play TF2" to me being in a server.

They said TF2's conversion would be around the 24th didn't they?

Or was that not true at all?

[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;40304620]Or was that not true at all?[/QUOTE] yes

[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;40304620]I thought that was already solved by exiting Steam before closing the computer itself to make the validation bug go away. Or was that not true at all?[/QUOTE] I don't usually remember to do this heh

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40304632]I don't usually remember to do this heh[/QUOTE] Heh, I always close Steam first and never got that bug, apart from a time when the power went out in the middle of a game.

steam pipe beta today full release next week

Still, I hope we get something cool with this update, or at least soon after. Even that comic would be nice to get soon, seeing as makani said a month ago it would take about a month to finish it.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40304325]it's the CSS conversion, it just happened via HLDS email. So TF2... soon. It's really happening[/QUOTE] I thought it wasn't until the 23rd.

a week is soon...

[QUOTE=HyperTails;40300185]This is reminding me of that guy with the Unusual Skull[/QUOTE] He tried to sell that right?
