Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

This is still my favorite Saxxy entry. I am still astounded it didn't win. [video=youtube;AQaynvgDqfY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQaynvgDqfY[/video] It has everything! Action! Comedy! Romance! Mystery! Betrayal! Revenge! Drama! Bill getting shot in the head!

[QUOTE=JPRAS;48204515]This is a brilliant piece of work when it came to the resources there were back then. There was no replay system, not SFM. Only that one weird "record" console command.[/QUOTE] The first saxxies were to celebrate the replay system, which they have since ironically abandoned

[QUOTE=Punchy;48204618]The first saxxies were to celebrate the replay system, which they have since ironically abandoned[/QUOTE] To be fair, the idea of the Saxxies is much better realized with the help of SFM, which is what they ditched the replays for. Plus, at least when it's SFM only, even the shittiest of entries take time to make and upload, where you could just take any old replay of a life you had and upload it.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;48204640]I dunno about you but I'd be pissed off if my entry that I'd spent months working on lost to something made in a day.[/QUOTE] If I spent months on something and it was legitimately not as funny/interesting/enjoyable to watch as something someone else made in a day, I wouldn't be pissed - I'd be ashamed.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;48204640]I dunno about you but I'd be pissed off if my entry that I'd spent months working on lost to something made in a day.[/QUOTE] sounds like you didn't work hard enough.

[QUOTE=Freeze;48204538]But it says in the title it won best overall replay? I thought the entire idea of the first saxxies were about using the replay system. Was it made before replays were a thing or something and then reuploaded?[/QUOTE] Acctually, if I remember correctly, it was done like 90% with the old system. Then replays came and were used for a very short part. Thats what the creator told me at the time anyways.

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;48201235]tf2 is incredibly behind in terms of interface, especially the backpack/crafting[/QUOTE] It's beyond me why they went with the colour palette of grey, grey and slightly less grey for the menus. Feels like I'm attending a funeral every time I load the game. (except on full moons)

It might be late. A friend of mine had this in his inventory for a short time after he created one of the glitched killstreak kits. [IMG]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/692776560714852452/D7AD255B1D280FB991136D2B114DBB508CDE10CF/[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Dat Lobo;48204503]I feel bad for the people who made it (the afterburner, that is). It's like valve is slapping them in the face and laughing at them. Hell, I'm pretty sure the creators wouldn't give 2 shits and a clown fart if it was just a degreaser reskin (we got like, what, 3-4 for the default one, why not one for the degreaser?).[/QUOTE] I made it. I already have 2 reskin weapons (The Scottish Handshake, the Bootlegger), I'd be really disappointed if another one of my weapon models had that fate to be honest...

Valve has already created a few, but that doesn't mean they should make more.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;48205135]I made it. I already have 2 reskin weapons (The Scottish Handshake, the Bootlegger), I'd be really disappointed if another one of my weapon models had that fate to be honest...[/QUOTE] I bought them from the store pretty much for that reason, way back when they first showed up there.

I glitched one of them into my inventory myself, but it doesn't really do anything there other than waste space. Also is anyone else unable to look at their TF2 inventory on Steam? The other ones work fine.

So PREC broke and ended up crashing my game every time I loaded up a map. It could just be because I have no space to record or something but it was working fine yesterday...

I'm surprised that no one has even mentioned it yet here. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Qqe9Vvu.jpg[/t] [url]http://tipofthehats.org/[/url] Feel free to be the Grinch and say "These meddlin cancer-kids dont deserve any cent of mine, njarr!" - but as we go through the MUS Spirit notice the "New In-game Item[B]s[/B]" Currently the only Item which was "confirmed" was this one [IMG]http://puu.sh/iZcVk/3aa4e2db13.png[/IMG] And Fun Fact : This Item is already in the game, some people have it already including STAR_ ( Saw it in his 8'our Livestream.) Now but that is only one item, and since we all probably know the basics of english we know that there must be atleast a single one more, or the guy who did the poster thought that having a lot of those badges counts as multiple in-game items. So eh, it probably wont be a weapon or anything large of impact but its something. ([t]http://puu.sh/iZdqs/8b95f8a423.png[/t])

It'd be pretty straightforward to award donors a Tipped Lid in Genuine quality considering it's effectively the charity drive's logo.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;48205843]It'd be pretty straightforward to award donors a Tipped Lid in Genuine quality considering it's effectively the charity drive's logo.[/QUOTE] I'd pay good money for an exclusive Red-Army Robin with its own mini-Tipped Lid.

Incidently, what does the German text say? Does it describe what this Head Hunter item is?

[QUOTE=PC's_Frank;48206036]I'm probably behind on the times/ subject, but this looks very interesting, nice find. Incidently, what does the German text say? Does it describe what this Head Hunter item is?[/QUOTE] If I'm not mistaken, some of these contracts are called "TF_ItemDynamic_Recipe_QuestObjectives" in game files so it probably says something like normal recipes: "This item has a set of inputs that, once fulfilled, will reward you with what's listed in its outputs." where inputs might be changed for quests. But yeah, might be wiser just to wait for someone to translate it to english, these are just my assumptions

My fav machinima is still Ignis Souls: [video=youtube;eRARcZL-4XM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRARcZL-4XM[/video] I have watched it before playing TF2. I thought that talking to those microphones, so that others can hear you in other places, can be done ingame too. I wish that was a thing at least in some custom map.

[/QUOTE] it was given to everyone who participating in hosting/setting up etc the event last year and now it's being distributed as a donation reward iirc the hat was meant to be the gift but valve missed it or something so they just added it as a separate item that goes towards the charity, similar to the virtual viewfinder

Don't freak out if you're swallowing ~20 MB, it's just the thing we usually call "$500 worth of SteamVR Bull Shit!!!". All of which [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/118567349752690871]can be viewed here[/url].

[QUOTE=Pyraax;48207235]It's possible to talk into some kind of microphone on dm_mariokart iirc[/QUOTE] It replays any nearby voicelines at a louder volume, yeah. That's a pretty cool feature, I want an official map to have it as an easter egg in spawn.
