Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;49509207]not disagreeing at all, but i like the sandman too. A well placed ball on a medic or power class can almost singlehandedly turn the tide of a push, or save your ass in a bad situation, and just generally fuck with irritable players, which is always fun[/QUOTE]

That is why it is banned in the UGC league.

[B]Off-topic[/B], yes, I was really born on Jan 1.

[QUOTE=Exhale;49502376]But why? It doesn't give you any advantages at all.[/QUOTE]

Disguised spies don't make the noises the noise making items make, so yes, it's a (minor) advantage, just like how they don't explode if they're 'wearing' the Bombnomicon.

The sandman is the in game equivalent of unplugging someones controller at the very last second to get a cheesy unfair win

[DrCactus]

The projectile is really fast as well, so it's not really that hard to use anyway.

Did the patch go out already or am I just bad at exploiting?

[Onule]

"Incoming patch"
For Borneo, most likely.
The other 12 maps where you can glitch out, maybe not. :v:

The latter.

Well, we're officially past the 3-4 month window for the next comic. Can't say I didn't see that coming.

[QUOTE=Mr. Bump;49510489]Well, we're officially past the 3-4 month window for the next comic. Can't say I didn't see that coming.[/QUOTE]

I know this joke was super common when we had our first comic delay, but I love how we initially had to wonder if Bi-Monthly meant a comic every two months, or two comics in a month. [I]Those were the days...[/I]

Coming from someone who was surprised people forgot about the comic during the 10 month wait for last issue, even I've forgotten about the comic several times since. Extending it from six issues to seven wasn't really that good of a move given how lethargic their schedule has been.

What is Makani working on these days?

Nooby Question:

also sorry if late

Will Mark laidlaw's retirement affect tf comics?

[gigazelle]

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;49509803]The sandman is the in game equivalent of unplugging someones controller at the very last second to get a cheesy unfair win[/QUOTE]

Or slapping the controller out of their hand. The distance you slap the controller away from them is proportionate to the distance you hit them with the sandman ball.

[QUOTE=Firetornado;49511535]Nooby Question:

No, they're usually mainly written by Jay Pinkerton and/or Erik Walpow iirc. Mark wrote for half life, dota 2, and i think left 4 dead.

is that the script to the worldwide phenomenon "Paul Blart: Mall Cop"?

There was a post on reddit a day or two ago ([url]https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/40c889/i_made_a_tf2_bind_for_the_entire_bee_movie_script/[/url])

which ended up with an easy to access way to turn a script into a continuous bind just by running a program. In case you're wondering, you can find it here ([url]https://github.com/foblo/binds[/url], autohotkey binds as well), or on the original creator's, here ([url]https://github.com/MysteryMelon/Python_TF2Scripter[/url])

a bit shamed to admit i spread this by making the .exe version, and i have a feeling this could become a bit more prevalent in pubs, though some servers have the wait command disabled, rendering the bind .cfgs useless.

So in a future update, we'll see one or more of the following:

* Limited number of characters able to be sent in a single bind/command to 256
* Valve servers disabled wait command
* SAY command now on the same timer as voice commands

Well didn't Wolpaw leave to work on Psychonauts 2?

But that would imply posting the entire script of Bee Movie is a problem

On the plus side, no more of those fucking Lemmyfaces and "GET LMAOBOX NOW"

He's going to work on it but that doesn't necessarily mean he's completely left Valve.
