[QUOTE=kos8bit;52496953]so they decided to take more time to fix that and release this update shiny and playable from day 1[/QUOTE] It's basically a given at this point that the item server / GC goes down for a few hours when an update releases.

[QUOTE=Square_Rabbit;52496967]So it's July 22nd, when they were apparently gonna move offices. Geel bet 200 keys the update would release before then. However, they're apparently moving in September now. The question is, should Geel pay up because the update hasn't been released before the 22nd, or should he only pay if the update still hasn't been released by the time the move actually happens?[/QUOTE] [Voice=Alex Jones] You're thinking about it all wrong! Geel bribed (or blackmailed) Valve to delay the move so he wouldn't have to pay out the 200 key bet he made. He keeps complaining about the update being delayed to hide the fact that he's in on the conspiracy. It's obvious when you look at it.

The wager was primarily whether or not the update was out prior to the 22nd, the move was merely a coincidental event. ergo: Geel owes me 200 keys.

where my keys at geel? :payne:

Looking at that badge made me think of something. What if that Moonbase belongs to Aperture Science

The question via MUS remains: What caused the Blog going blank? Was it just a wordpress update? Also just wanna mention, "Update Speculation Station" is a pretty good name, has a nice ring to it.

RIP, MUS. You will remain in our hearts. [video=youtube;W2TE0DjdNqI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2TE0DjdNqI[/video]

[QUOTE=Der dasMann;52497332]But think of all those PCs who cant run a game from 2007 which has been taped with hundrets of hats[/QUOTE] my pc old pc was from 2007 and it could run tf2 in a decent fashion.

Anyone remember having fond memories playing around on Team fortress classic and messing around on popular entmod servers back in the day? I had a sudden nostalgia think-back, how those were simpler and entertaining times

[QUOTE=Ultravod;52496943]You can't put Stat Clocks on strange weapons. You can only put them on non-strange Civilian grade skinned weapons. [url]https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Civilian_Grade_Stat_Clock[/url][/QUOTE] So dumb. Well you saved me a couple cents, thanks.

This subforum isn't near as active as it used to be. Just out of curiosity, would anyone be terribly bothered if we made this subforum also include CSGO, DOTA 2, [highlight]ricochet[/highlight] and Half-Life under the umbrella of 'Valve Games Discussion', and we used new thread icons to set the threads apart visually on the main layout?? [img]https://facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] (if in favor of combining) / [img]https://facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] (if opposed) ---> not saying anythings actually happening, just curious <--- (for the sake of not derailing this thread YET AGAIN, discuss here if you want: [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1561877[/url] )

-snip- EDIT: I'm, stupid and didn't refresh the page.

OK, so I'm at 158 duels won, a friend gave me 12 dueling minigames and the reserves expanded to 21 in total. I'm going to earn that bloody silver badge and wear it proudly.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;52498118]Well it could be nothing/a mistake or it could be very good news.[/QUOTE] It's nothing. I've looked at that group a couple times [i]way[/i] before even Meet Your Match was a thing, and to my knowledge, it's always said that. Here's a [url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140601000000*/http://steamcommunity.com/games/TF2]Wayback Machine archive[/url] from January 2014, it still says there's an event scheduled.

[QUOTE=Der dasMann;52497332]But think of all those PCs who cant run a game from 2007 which has been taped with hundrets of hats[/QUOTE] If valve allows us to wear medal=type items in the action item slot ([I]where there's already a 4th cosmetic entity in canteens, spellbooks[/I]), then we'll be golden, no need to add a new slot. But that makes rational sense. And we all know how the TF team is about that.

I'm eagerly anticipating another week of disappointment.
