[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;49881289][URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gnaLoC3kWA"]VNN has some new info on Passtime thanks to discussion with the devs.[/URL] I have to say, the dev's plans sound they are really going to clean up the game-mode, and actually make it a competitive and enjoyable experience.[/QUOTE] PASS Time really deserves a little more attention, not in the least because the devs are super enthusiastic and interested in feedback and give out very clear information about their development, which [i]some unnamed other company[/i] could take a good hint from.

Passtime would be pretty good for a 6v6 format, honestly.

One thing i hope is that they update the hitboxes/hit registration.

[QUOTE=EmilyVasquez;49882023]One thing i hope is that they update the hitboxes/hit registration.[/QUOTE] I walked up and meatshot a soldier 3 times when he was jumping, he had bullet holes and sparks came out and shit today and i did literally no damage and threw my computer out the window

I'm surprised there's [I]any[/I] PASS Time development going on, considering Escalation Studios are camped out at Id Software trying to get Doom Snapmap out the door.

PASS Time competitive 6s might actually be fun

I would like to see competitive Robot Destruction added. Maybe 9v9 or so.

[QUOTE=Segab;49882549]PASS Time competitive 6s might actually be fun[/QUOTE] They'd have to do some serious tweaking to it. Most of the classes aren't really viable for it. But hey thats the same for regular 6s.

[QUOTE=cha0s;49881243]If valve adds this, this will be just another hud element that hud makers will have to recreate, also at some point theirs gonna be way to many things on the screen to look at.[/QUOTE] coming from me as a hudmaker, you would either have to do literally nothing or copy paste the contents of and "if_crossbow{...}" lines from the default hud.

So one of the characters in The Venture Bros. was playing TF2.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;49883131]So one of the characters in The Venture Bros. was playing TF2.[/QUOTE] Like, in the actual show?

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49883146]Like, in the actual show?[/QUOTE] Yep.

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;49883146]Like, in the actual show?[/QUOTE] [t]http://puu.sh/nxJJe/0ef7a66b56.png[/t]

Link to the episode or something like that? I'd love to see the context of this.

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;49883270][t]http://puu.sh/nxJJe/0ef7a66b56.png[/t][/QUOTE] Sergeant Hatred was playing soldier, of course. [editline]7th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=pepetoads;49883353]Link to the episode or something like that? I'd love to see the context of this.[/QUOTE] It was just Rusty and Hatred slacking off. You can find it online, just look up "watch venture bros season 6 episode 6" or something.

Seriously wish more people watched The Venture Bros. Great series, totally worth watching through all the episodes.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;49883356]Sergeant Hatred was playing soldier, of course.[/QUOTE] No, I'd say he's playing as Red Pyro about to burn that Blu soldier.

[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;49884075]No, I'd say he's playing as Red Pyro about to burn that Blu soldier.[/QUOTE] That was Dr. Venture

[QUOTE=pepetoads;49882095]I walked up and meatshot a soldier 3 times when he was jumping, he had bullet holes and sparks came out and shit today and i did literally no damage and threw my computer out the window[/QUOTE] Same thing happend to me not so long ago, was playing sniper and I was aiming at a fully charged medic. Shot him, only a bloodsplat on his head and then got killed by his pocket. It was a lobby. I cried.

[QUOTE=Tinker;49881709]PASS Time really deserves a little more attention, not in the least because the devs are super enthusiastic and interested in feedback and give out very clear information about their development, which [i]some unnamed other company[/i] could take a good hint from.[/QUOTE] To be fair the TF2 team has gotten way better at interaction with the community over the past year. Two devs post on the sub-reddit, one of the devs occasionally posts on TF2maps.net, they seem to be much more willing to work with community map and item makers, they work directly with comp players and occasionally post on the matchmaking group. We've also gotten a what we're working on blog post in both 2014 and 2015. They also answered some questions for Meet Your Makers (though I wish that would have been more in depth interviews with individual members of the team vs them just answering general questions as a team). Sure Valve isn't perfect in the communication department but they are making big strides in the right direction.

Not sure if anyone posted it here yet, but a friendly tip from your neighborhood jew: [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1494123&p=49867243&highlight=#post49867243"]Graybanns are getting updated[/URL] with [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1494123&p=49854496&viewfull=1#post49854496"]new styles[/URL] soon, so if you're interested in looking like the cancer guy from Hair Cake, you should get a pair before their price inevitably rises.
