Mindless speculation on Potato Update

[EarthlingJohn]

Gentlemen, what day is it today?
Exactly.
TUESDAY!

What do we know about Tuesdays? It is the second day of the week.... It has the word days in it... And its the day that Valve rolls out huge updates. The Potato hat would have been very simple to incorporate into the game, so why did they delay it to April 5th? Why when every other game got a potato update, valve pushed the game with the promo update back? Well... someone from facepunch had posted screens from a scrapped meet the medic. Meet the Medic was "almost finished" a while ago. Look again! someone else says they have received intel that the next update shall be diamonds.

Meet the Medic
Polypack for engy (the lightning one)
Beta Weapons into the full game.
More Polycount weapons.
The good old days.

This is speculation yes.... But, when someone posted a thread on this in the steam forums (the possibility of an update on the 5th being bigger than the potato hat), it was involuntarily taken down, deleted. Why would they do that?

Gentlemen, get your tinfoil hats ready, because even if valve isn't releasing a huge update today... They are still messing with our minds.

and that means something huge is coming (not dicks)

SPECULATE NOW!

I'll speculate that they're not called "polycount weapons" because it was The Polycount Update


They're set weapons.


Valve isn't gonna go back in time and add more weapons to an update that's p. old news now.



Just sayin.

Valve is fucking with us, I don't think anything is going to happen regarding from tf2.

Famous last words, I know, but It's a gut feeling.

The hat lights up at certain places in the maps.

Edit: And now some people say it doesn't light up.

Well, either way, valve has got everyone thinking they have done something.

To add some more fuel, on tf2 items, the id for the potato hat is 420. The 100 dollar japan hat is 410.

There are 10 items that have yet to be added... The tesla engy idea still holds ground for now.

Quick-Fix, Detonator, engy shotty/hair/hammer would be 5
5 more spaces.

Now, we talking cannons that shoot potatoes, or potatoes made into cannons? Because I find the latter to be absolutely ridiculous and fool's talk!
