Update on the Halloween Update

[tf2.com]

Halloween is almost upon us, and for those of you who don't have an irrational fear of Presidents' Day, it's the scariest time of the year. This morning, we were reviewing this year's Third Annual Scream Fortress Halloween Update, and we realized that it is probably too scary. Scratch that - it's definitely too scary. This much concentrated terror would be like throwing you into the deep end of a pool... With no lifeguard on duty! [sound of lightning hitting a bat] But then, oh thank God, here comes a lifeguard. Sayyyy, he looks familiar. OH MY GOD it's Dracula! No wait, it's even worse! It's legendary Hollywood triple threat, Ethan Hawke! Acting! Directing! Writing! But not swimming! Everyone knows he can't swim! What monster would hire Ethan Hawke to be a lifeguard? Does this cursed rec center not have ANY lifeguard hiring oversight committee? IT DOES NOT! AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I never know if Halloween is the best or the worst of what their writers do.

All the Homestuck fans just got a raging hard-on.

SPYRO?

 

[Prestige]

Until the update is out, we may enjoy our Night of the living update collab.

I think it's absolutely hilarious, but kinda the same as what they did last year, and the year before.

A little bit of news on the server end...

We’re going to be launching some new Halloween content in the near future and wanted to give you all a quick heads-up. There will be random gift drops, but this year we are requiring that participants register their servers. If you choose not to register, you can still run the Halloween maps, but no gifts will drop on your server. By registering, your server will also be included in matchmaking, which will potentially drive traffic to you. Note that cheating or otherwise abusing the gift drop system will result in losing your registration, access to gift drops and other potential value-adds in the future.

You still have plenty of time, as this change won’t be going live until next week. Registration is quick and simple, and is outlined here.

Personally, I love the writing for the H'ween events. I think its some of the best they've done...

Kind of reminds me of the Old spice guy commercials.

All I want for Halloween is for the loadout bug to be fixed so I don't have to keep selecting my weapons EVERY TIME I RESPAWN.

If you click on 'Start Playing', pick a gamemode and click 'join' you'll automatically be dropped into "[one] of these servers".
