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

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40306170]I thought the Steampipe beta was done?[/QUOTE] [quote=Fletcher Dunn via HLDS]One note concerning the TF2 beta. As you probably know, it’s currently a separate app. (The TF2 beta client is App ID 520 and the TF2 beta dedicated server is AppID 229830.) About a week before the TF2 switchover, we’ll initiate a beta process identical to the one used for the other games. We’ll release the Steampipe version of the official dedicated server (App ID 232250) [B]and an opt-in client beta available from the “betas” tab for the regular “Team Fortress 2” application (App ID 440).[/B] This beta client will have all the same content as the regular game, will talk to the same item server as the regular client, and will have all the same items in your backpack. It will be running App ID 440, not 520. The only difference is that it will be using the new file system with VPK files, it will have a different PatchVersion in the steam.inf file, and will only be able to connect to SteamPipe servers. To avoid confusion between the two different types of TF2 betas, at that time we will deactivate the beta client app 520 and dedicated server app 229830. We’ll have further details on this process when we release the official dedicated server.[/quote]

Oh, okay yea, that's probably happening tonight [editline]16th April 2013[/editline] Poker Night unlockables trailer [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccudvO8SDzw&feature=youtu.be[/url] looks like some guest appearances and what not. I wonder if Heavy shows up. Looks like Reginald is still the dealer, or at least a cameo, so I don't know where Glados fits in.

Wow that unlocks trailer looks really nice, I'm glad it's nost just another sequel, but sprucing the game up by a lot in general. This is one of the reasons why I love Telltale. AnotherisbecausetheyusedClaptrapohmygod.

I hope the steam pipe doesn't change the TF2 game files folder paths too much.

And yes, maybe another TF2 character can make some random cameo apparences, after all in the website Max is still hanging around the place.

Wow Ps3 got fucked on the exclusive unlocks lol

I don't own a PS3 so I have no idea what other unlocks could work for the console besides that.

The PS3 always seems to get screwed over.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;40307023]does it work [editline]16th April 2013[/editline] set me up with a purple CM5K thank you[/QUOTE] It's set up so that only team-colors work, assuming it actually allows him to apply the paint at all.

Don't give me excuses, I want that thing on my desk by tomorrow morning

[QUOTE=NeoDement;40307057]Don't give me excuses, I want that thing on my desk by tomorrow morning[/QUOTE] No. [editline]asdlkjdsfd[/editline] The only thing you'll be getting is pictures of Spiderman.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;40307087] The only thing you'll be getting is pictures of Spiderman.[/QUOTE] Even better.

Technically with that old schema hack it would have been possible.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;40306999][img]http://i.imgur.com/FbeEtsY.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/0lweGrc.png[/img][/QUOTE] No fucking way. Holy Shit if you do that you need to set us up with a quick tutorial so we can all do it before it's patched! I'm like gushing right now, I've always wanted a cream spirit cow mangler... Does anyone have pics of it in game? I know none exist but I wish to see it. Edit: Also how opposed would you guys be to allowing certain weps be paintable but only in team colors assuming they were distinguishable?

I don't see why Valve disabled it in the first place. With the Cow Mangler I understand with team recognition and all that. But they should have made the Lollichop paintable

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;40307147]I don't see why Valve disabled it in the first place. With the Cow Mangler I understand with team recognition and all that. But they should have made the Lollichop paintable[/QUOTE] It was prevented from being paintable due to something called "slippery slope" I don't think they want to establish any precedent for allowing paints on weapons, no matter how fitting it'd be.

The lollichop is really the only one it could really work with. The only problem is it might open some unsavory doors

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;40307147]I don't see why Valve disabled it in the first place. With the Cow Mangler I understand with team recognition and all that. But they should have made the Lollichop paintable[/QUOTE] Weapons shouldn't be paintable until they fix critglows not working on them.

Actually, it (the Cow Mangler) was rendered unpaintable because the particles were also affected. Due to this, visibility was a huge issue. Teams can't be told apart, and darker colors made shots fired harder to see.
