- Valve joking teases Team Fortress 2 MMO (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/03/valve-jokingly-drops-mmo-code-into-latest-team-fortress-2-patch/) in update code, marketing exces faint at the thought.

I think it's quite been proven on these forums that gamers demand more Tom Cruise.

[Purple Santa]

Days of Thunder and Top Gun? Who thinks this stuff will sell? What are the marketing/PR staff smoking if they think this will sell...

[ThievesAmongUs]

Deadpool in Marvel UA 2 ? Sign me up.

[Codicier]

Visceral Games? Trying to make people forget they're an EA studio?

Days of Thunder and Top Gun are both made of awesome and win.....that's what they are smoking.

Sandman, every time you go up in the air you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

[Iron Past]

Deadpool in Marvel UA 2 ? Sign me up.

But only if he has sword-arms and laser eyes, otherwise he's not xtreeeme enough. Though he did have a small teleport in the first game, didn't he?

I always look for Deadpool TPBs when I go into a book store, but can never seem to find any. Looking foward to MUA 2, however.

[KamaItachi]

Will I finally be able to get Tom Cruise to have sex with Val Kilmer in Top Gun?

If only. Truly, they make an epic team. Hilariously epic, anyway. :D


...Though he did have a small teleport in the first game, didn't he?

He has a teleporter in his belt, and for awhile he shared Cable's body-slide tech... only when used it would teleport them both automatically. /comicgeek

Ugh, don't get me started on that...

Though he did have a small teleport in the first game, didn't he?
Yes, he did.

EDIT: Bonus points if they can get Nolan North for this !

[Spigot]

I want the Great Lakes Avengers in MUA2 so Deadpool can hunt them down... despite their being already registered.

I'd pay for that DLC!

Also, make one of his costumes the Ms. Marvel one and I'll buy the collector's edition.

Days of Thunder and Top Gun? Who thinks this stuff will sell? What are the marketing/PR staff smoking if they think this will sell...Now if they were developing a Rain Man 2D adventure title...

Translation: "I will be buying these upon release."

We know you have the Top Gun poster on your wall, Santa.
