The Valve and Steam Platform Discussion Thread

[kazgar]

Anyone else been reading the valve economics blog?

http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/economics/

TF2 Hat traders being dissected, err figuratively.

 

[kazgar]

No one I guess, but there's a new one:

Valve's economist blogs on that valve management structure everyone was talking about a while back.

Nerdy.

 

[Morgoth]

GTTV will air Valve stuff @Spike on the August 16th

CS:GO?
DOTA 2?
Ricojet 2?

WHAT?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Worth the weight! WORTH THE WEIGHT!

Or it might just be related to this shit.

Or perhaps this!

Co-op, eh? This could be interesting.

 

[Metro]

MHC, time to organize the Codex TF2 co-op squad!

But I don't even have TF2 installed any more!
You're not the first one to ask me to reinstall to kill robots though. Maybe it's time. TIME TO PUT THE HATS BACK ON.

Clearly our first priority should be a team of all heavies and 1 engineer, the heavies using a mix of brass beasts and Nataschas (Assuming the slow works on soulless machines) all standing around a fully upgraded dispenser and never letting up on LMB.

Do it for the hats, man! I'll be the medic.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Do it for the hats, man! I'll be the medic.

Not if I MEDIC YOU FIRST!
I'd probably play medic/heavy/engineer/soldier. Those were my standbys, but I'd occasionally play everything except sniper. Goddamn sniper.

Also, Christ. Just wandered over to CAG and looked in the Steam deals thread. Why weren't they just talking about deals? WHY WEREN'T THEY JUST TALKING ABOUT DEALS!?
I'm constantly reminded why the Codex is my forum of choice nowadays.

That's "anticipated", not "confirmed".

There. Also, they list Bioshock Infinite, which has been confirmed will not be shown. List is bullshit.

 

[Zed]

well there's also this

"games magazine Game Informer has confirmed that for the first time in its history it will be going to print a day later in order to accomodate a huge announcement being made at Gamescom."

maybe blizzard announces titan.

 

[Zed]

okay so valve said they're not showing anything.

it's probably dragon age 3 or something, then.

 

[Don Peste]

When will Valve stop this Dota / TF2 / CS bullshit and make real games again?

 

[Ulminati]

When will Valve stop this Dota / TF2 / CS bullshit and make real games again?

They're re-releasing Counter Strike on aug 21

 

[IDtenT]

FPSes aren't real games.

 

[Twinkle]

Faggots aren't real men.

 

[Morgoth]

Valve working on some kind of movie?

http://kotaku.com/5935027/is-valve-about-to-announce-that-theyre-making-a-movie

Domain name suggests it won't be an adaptation of one of their games. I have a feeling that it'll be a comedy.

 

[Morgoth]

Or a documentary about the game industry.

 

[Peter]

"gamerlifemovie.com" and "gamerlifethemovie.com"? Sounds like it might be about gamer lifestyle and "culture".

Valve can't be that gay, can they?

 

[Metro]

Yes.

 

[Morgoth]

No worries, Gabe is still hetero.
