As for items, Valve told everyone to make Halloween stuff, so...

The island is the part of the map that the Bombinomicon was on.

Using this and this...
Wax. Soot. Tailed 4 I have no idea. Upside-down black sulfur. Astrological symbol for mercury
Wax. Tailed 4. Tailed 4. Black sulfur (upside down) again. Quicklime. (sulfur + quicklime + naptha = an incendiary. maybe that's what the tailed 4 is?)
Behind that, looks like mercury (the element), black sulfur, astrological symbol for mercury, distill.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
So, rampant speculation time; Are we looking at some sort of bizzare crafting system like the pyromania update?

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Actually, my bad. Those symbols are a simple substitution cipher, also used in this:
It says "Super Spped", which looks like a typo.
The Bombonomicon image is too low-res for me to be able to do anything meaningful with, though I can tell you part of the text is "That is not dead which can eternal lie; and with strange aeons, even death may die."

Oh, look. We have to kill Merasmus. Again. Because Soldier was an idiot-savant.

Even if you feel no problem with the above you should wait a bit so they can patch out a lot of the bugs. Right now the pathfinding sucks. Yeah, the pathfinding in an RTS sucks.
Plus, it's singleplayer only.
thanks i'll wait a bit first before dropping £32 on it.
32 quid sounds such a strange number...

Wasn't there going to be a trade thread? Did someone make that yet and forgot to link it? Did they link it and I missed it?

There was some talk, no action.
IN TF2, I love it when I join a 32 person server, I get the 2nd highest person (I was the highest) to switch to a counter to my class and then go after me and when he gets killed killing me he says "worth it" in chat. Booya. (went 105 kills, 51 deaths, 28 assists, and 22 destructions). I was always in the top 3 for MVP.

Generally I stop once I get to 100 points, because by that point I generally am tired of the map. On any of the Valve servers it seems to be a weird mix of terrible people and actual good people. For example I've run around killing scouts and heavies and soldiers as a scout, then I get headshotted by a sniper who is running around on a spree, topping the enemy team.

I like my games with one or two good people on each team surrounded by a layer of moving, ablative meat.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Perhaps "super spped" is a red herring.
I'm hoping for a raccoon misc for the Soldier now.

Indeed there was! We were tossing around titles for it over the past day or two. Here they are, in what I hope is the complete list!

So, voting time! Everybody gets 3 votes, you can put all 3 into one title, or spread them out. The most you can break a point is to .25 of a point!
My votes:
Hat Fortress 2: the Hattening - 1 vote
Sacton Hale and the Exchange of Hats - 1 vote
Tarnish notte the Majesty of my TOWER of HATS - 1 vote
I am going to bed in an hour, voting ends at some point after I wake up and before I go to work [somewhere between 6 and 14 hours from now]. At that point, I will create the thread.
Now then, any specific things we want in the opening post? Link to Spreadsheet, backpack.tf, the tf2 wiki, and tf2 outpost good ideas?

Please tell me some of you are going to pick up Guns of Icarus Online when it comes out?
I bought into the beta earlier this week and it's wicked fun. Nothing like trying to drive a rigid airship that by no rights should be airborne into combat with other equally unwieldy vessels.
Oh, and if you like FTL with team-based combat, then this is up your alley.

I doubt it. It's the same cipher as what translates the Bombonomicon text.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I just managed to score LFD2 due to the $5 sale on steam today. Does anyone here still play it, cause I'd love to try it out when it finishes downloading.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I actually got a free copy a Christmas or two ago from the Steam events that is still sitting in my steam inventory. I might try it out some time this weekend.

I vote for Saxton Hale and the Exchange of Goods/Hats, Mannconomy: On Economics and Hats, and Steam Trading Post of Leisure, with one point to each.

I think that it might be a good idea to also point out in the Opening Post that while Steam Trading is used mostly for TF2 items, that items from Spiral Knights, Super Monday Night Combat, etc. or extra game copies, coupons, etc. can also be exchanged. Though I'm not aware of any good exchange cross game item rate.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Speaking of, does anyone play Rift anymore? I have this Well-Spun Hat code just sitting here in my backpack gathering well-spun dust.

I'll give it another hour or so, the winning title by then will be the title of thread.
