Before you go reading this thread and what not, ask:

What the ♥♥♥♥? This is being revived?

Yes, that's right investors, I am reviving this group. It's remained dead for too long.

With the new mods being produced, INCLUSION OF PORTAL 2, Half Life 2: Episode 3 or 3, and the Team Fortress 2 updates everyday (COW MANGLER), I said:

"Science isn't about Why? It's about WHY NOT!"

When life gives you lemons, use those lemons to build a freaking shock system for a group that supposedly died.

Cave Johnson, and we're done here.

Today, a TF2 update was released. The update news says "updated some files for no reason"
Bullspit. Look at this page and scroll to the bottom:

The 'Festive Winter Crate: Level 10. This crate is unusually festive. Its contents are unknown and normal keys don't fit the lock.
You'd better hold onto it. There'll probably be a way to open it later
Crate Series #6'

Oh good, another excuse to make us spend money at the Mann Co. Store. Well, tis the season for indulging, am I right?
Or Valve could be smart and have the holiday keys earnable through unlocking a holiday achievment.

Whats inside? A Candy Cane melee replacement for the Pyro? A pair of reindeer antlers complete with a glowing red nose for the Scout (shoot me! SHOOT ME!!).
Anything other than a santa hat. C'mon, you cant be more cliche than THAT!

Also, six new colors of paint!
-Pink as Hell
-A Color Similar to Slate
-Drably Olive
-The Bitter Taste of Defeat and Lime
-The Color of a Gentlemann's Business Pants (obviously before the Heavy keeled these tiny business cowards)
-and Dark Salmon Injustice

That Slate one would look sooo hot on my Vintage Merryweather... mmmm.....

Unused files for Dixie Kong, Toon Zelda, Toon Sheik, and "Pra_Mai" (speculated to be Plusle & Minun of Pokémon fame) were found as scrapped newcomers. There were also files for Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, and Roy, possibly meaning that they were planned to be brought back at one time, or that their data was imported for some reason. A scrapped Assist Trophy for Ridley was also found. It was most likely scrapped in favor of a Boss version of Ridley.

A full lists of those files can be found here.

In 2005, a prototype copy of Super Mario Bros. 2 sold on eBay for $350. It was significantly different from the final release version of SMB2, making it possibly the biggest single leak of beta information in the history of the Mario series.

The prototype cart has a SNROM-02 motherboard rather than the final version's TSROM-04. This means that it uses CHR-RAM instead of CHR-ROM and utilizes batteries. This was probably changed because SNROM-02's ROM size is 1 Mebibit, rather than TSROM-04's 2 Mebibits.

The title and story screens of the prototype use a different color pallet, which includes tans and oranges, as opposed to the final version's red and blue scheme.

On the prototype version's character select screen, an ellipsis divides the phrase "EXTRA LIFE" from the number of lives remaining. Strangely, the ellipsis returns for Super Mario All-Stars.

The character's sprites are not significantly different between the two versions, but Mario and Luigi lack sclera in the prototype, and the Princess's sclera are pink. This may be because Mario, Luigi, and Peach's sprites have more colors than the NES hardware can normally handle, and so their sclera actually have to be rendered as a separate sprite from the rest of their bodies.

Several other character sprites are slightly different. For example, the princess has more hair in the prototype. One noticeable incongruity of the prototype's sprites is that, although all the "item carrying" sprites are finished, the items being carried float at the height the original Doki Doki Panic characters would have carried them at.

In DDP, players couldn't use the B button to run; this was, in fact, almost exclusive to Mario games at the time. This mechanic hadn't been added when this prototype was compiled.

The prototype used a magic lamp to access subspace, as did DDP. The final version used a magic potion.

In the prototype the player only had to throw four vegetables at Wart to defeat him. The ending also gave out Prize Money instead of Contributions. Depending on how many times the character died, the player would be rewarded with a different amount of money at the end of the game.
