I love valve so much more now

New tf2 hat/weapon combo clearly.

Hat: spooky static face
weapon: the unbalanced static cannon
pros: causes the screens of the whole enemy team to turn black and white. Plays a loud terrifying sound. Does 80% more damage. applies jarate, madmilk, and afterburn on hit.
cons: 5% slower reload speed

hyuck hyuck

in all seriousness, I can't imagine what this could be. I'm relatively certain Valve will never make another Left4Dead game. Or for that matter, one that is actually scary like these videos. valve doesnt produce the f34r games themselves so I doubt they'd go to such lengths to promote a new one right after the 3rd came out.

I'm going to assume this will be some new short game we've never heard of that's coming out of nowhere like alien swarm / poker night at the inventory.
Except this one will be horror I guess.

i love this kind of stuff so much.

let the speculation begin.

Sinitron · July 25, 2011 06:45 PM

i said fear 4 because it's just as likely to be that as it is hl3

it's probably some gay dota 2 shit

Didn't valve say they'd release some Portal 2 DLC around this time?
Gabe needs to get his fat ass working on content for his games other than more over powered tf2 weapons.

no i think we need more hats you can use as over powered weapons.

Sinitron · July 26, 2011 12:12 PM

there's like a 10-man team working on TF2 seperately from everything else valve does

gabe probably hasn't touched it in years

So how exactly do I play this and this there anyway I can play more of it than just some pipe thing?

BluPhoenix · July 26, 2011 10:46 PM

it's weird as fuck as soon as the 'thing' catches you the game shuts down

i think it might be intentional
