TF2 Chat and Speculation V5 - Merry Skinssmas - Games

[QUOTE=Samwiseganja420;52973880]-pic-[/QUOTE] I have so many questions about that picture: Why are you letting get yourself shot? Why didn't you take this picture on a local server where nobody could shoot you? Why is there a small hand holding a crocodile's tail on your point of view??

[QUOTE=Samwiseganja420;52973880]I really hate this step on Mossrock.. [t]http://puu.sh/yFNxA/6825d81825.png[/t] I wish the creator would fix the step so you don't get stuck on it :v:[/QUOTE] Why does sniper have 3 hands in that photo?

[QUOTE=Fluury;52973767]And where do we know when the Scout was born?[/QUOTE] 23 in 1968 27 in 1972 23 - 1968 = 1945, meaning he'd have to be born around the end of WWII

Fun reminder, if you choose to believe death of a salesbot is canon then we know the engineer (and the head of the pyro) live until at minimum 1999. If we ballpark him as 45 in 1972, then him and pyro are in their 70s. If they theoretically somehow made it to today, most classes will sit between their 60s and 80s.

[QUOTE=Big Snake Bos;52974011](pictures of cheator)[/QUOTE] That's basically how long it takes for a script to create a new Steam account. I seriously don't understand why Steam allows the creation of accounts like this, makes no sense to me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of the functions of cheats is that they leave a fake VAC ban notification when the player leaves a server. How does the real mid-game VAC ban notification look like anyway? I've sort of forgotten - is it worded in the same way or phrased differently?

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;52974105]To be fair, Medic can also bring him back to life going by the canon of the comics, it's entirely possible they'll just never die[/QUOTE] If you believe medic met satan, medic implies the rest of the team don't even have souls anymore; and satan will own a majority by the time of his death, which will be around 2022. So then scout shouldn't have gone to heaven in the first place.

[QUOTE=chandlerj333;52974175]isnt QTF still considered pre gravel wars, like TFC?[/QUOTE] Don't think they've even canonized the QTF team into the lore. Maybe since it was before Valve had picked up Team Fortress Software perhaps?

i kinda figured the 1850 teams represented qtf in the timeline

So then scout shouldn't have gone to heaven in the first place.[/QUOTE] It's been ages since I read the last comic, but I believe it was implying a multiple choice afterlife. The reason Medic went to hell is that he recognizes he's done a lot of evil shit. Scout went to heaven and met god made in his own image, because of course Scout would think that way. Ms. Pauling is still serving the Administrator in the afterlife, and Sniper in the previous issue gets to meet his adoptive parents again. And the mMnn brothers get an afterlife filled with nothing, because they've fought each other their whole lives over a worthless pile of gravel. Edit: I just re-read the pages with Medic in hell, and I notice the comic keeps the identity of the other 8 souls vague. The line about him needing 50 more years makes you think that he's going to gradually lead all of red team down the road to hell, but what if that's a misdirection? What if Medic actually grafted grey team's souls onto his body? I realize some of them were already dead by Comic 6, but this is arguably all taking place in Medic's mind anyway, so he could totally find a loophole [B]within[/B] the loophole if he wanted to. Maybe the 50 years are just so he has a good long time to settle his affairs and hang out with his teammates, who he probably has grown to appreciate in his own twisted way.

Well, [I]they[/I] don't."

Getting weird visual bugs when viewing peoples items in peoples inventories on steam for whatever reason. Started around the pyro update too. They're not really problematic, but just weird... First items had a "Gone Home" bit when you checked them: [t]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/857235787204209665/551EE2960A2CBCB07DF40489294BC5647F219A3D/[/t] Then it turned to war paints for whatever reason: [t]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/860614314136909988/11A694529698A1E0E4CCE92CF8F561C8EAC87615/[/t] Now I got a new one... One that replaced a case I had in my backpack with an art piece I drew of a character from a fighting game of all things: [t]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/901148415694582116/5C5147D9E557C3064E6569DFB7A70AD7A089A8D3/[/t] It only occurs too in the steam program and not on the steampowered website. Not sure what to make of it at all... Happens only with TF2 items so I thought it might be connected.

Oh, so I wasn't having a stroke today: the medigun really was bugged. Good to see that's fixed - I still have to finish one of my expert medic contract bonuses.

I made a listen server to test some fixes, but the whole game was bugged, couldn't move, the screen stuttered when moving, couldn't shoot weapons and the first person animations were bugged, like this for anyone else? edit: also to me the Dragon's Fury shot seems to start further away from the pyro and maybe more in the center, i think the old shots were fired more from the right like rockets. edit2: seems to vary where the shot starts, my be a visual bug or a bug with the projectile

[QUOTE=Nebrassy;52974696]I'll take a wild guess and say you got host_thread_mode set to 1, if you do, set it to 0 when on a local server[/QUOTE] That fixed it, thanks. Also, why is it called a listen server?

rip baiting people at spawn gates with conga to hit them with flares

Wasn't the PBPP supposed to always give 7 health on every hit?
