I JUST WANT TO PLAY MEDIC DAMMIT

Medic 0 Comments , ,

You know what’s making me the most angry right now with TF2? I’ve been unable to play Medic for the longest of times. There’s actually several reasons why. It’s not just the normal stuff. By normal stuff, you all know what I mean. The horrible team compositions consisting of nothing with more than 150 health. If you are lucky, you might find a Pyro scattered in the ruins of your base on defence, but Pyro aren’t the best when it comes to decent pockets for Medics to heal. That’s not to say that Pyros and Scouts aren’t bad pockets. The… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Skyrim Saves

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

It turns out, after my hard drive died, there were only three major casualties. OpenBroadcastSystem doesn’t want to work on my computer but I’ll probably fix that. I forgot to copy over my Screenshots folder, but since I have a lot of my screenshots uploaded and a lot of my screenshots are copied to my Random folder (dunno why it is called that), it doesn’t matter that they’re all gone now. But the biggest victim for all of this is Skyrim. Skyrim is actually a horrible thing when it comes to mods. It’s not enough to download a mod and… [Continue Reading]

Why I Play Soldier

Medic 0 Comments

ROCKETS! Okay that’s not the only reason. There’s a small collection of reasons why I play Soldier in my spare time, when I’m named Medic but can’t be bothered to play my own name sake. Recently though, there are actually too many Medics around for me to be able to do so, probably because they are so good at scoring points and recently got some nice buffs. I may be a one trick pony, but I do actually dabble in other classes. Soldier is my go-to secondary class though. But yes, rockets are a big reason why. They’re both skillful… [Continue Reading]

Hats aren’t scary any more…

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The other day, TMNWG mentioned an idea for an article, about how hats and strange weapons can intimidate people. Of course, a strange weapon like a Hale’s Own Sniper Rifle is pretty impressive and slightly intimidating if the person using it is genuinely skilled (rather than some idiot farming it in achievement_idle_noglass) but hats… I don’t know, I really don’t think they’re as intimidating as they should be. Hats used to be advertised as the be all and end all of TF2. You were a loser, poor and Irish, if you didn’t have something on your bonce. Hats have always… [Continue Reading]

Warframe – Another Look

Medic 0 Comments , ,

So my current game of the moment is Warframe, the free to play space ninja game. I was playing it when my hard drive started to die, and now I have it installed on my External (good ol’ Phovidrive), I can play it occasionally in the evenings on other people’s computers. Despite actually being a very pretty game, it runs amazingly well even on potato laptops. TF2 has been working alright too, and I finally got Left 4 Dead 2 and Saints Row: the Third to work, but nothing works as well as Warframe currently. Last time I mentioned Warframe, I said… [Continue Reading]

Your first TF2 games

Medic 1 Comment , ,

I was going through my unfinished articles. I hate all of them. But one of them is a gigantic, unfinished guide on everything you need to know about being a newbie to TF2. One day, I do plan on finishing that (when Competitive Matchmaking leaves beta, I guess), but for now, I’ll work on it occasionally. But for now, let’s think about those first few games of yours. The ideal first few games would be quite simple. You play the tutorial for Soldier, you play the second part with the bots, then maybe you play a training game with easy… [Continue Reading]

Two things that bother me about Overwatch gameplay

Medic 0 Comments , ,

From what I’ve watched and played of Overwatch, I’m overall mostly satisfied with how it all works. The majority of the problems I have are with non-gameplay related things, or my own stupid eyes and brain that give me a stupid headache after 10 minutes of play time. That’s enough for one, maybe two games if I’m lucky. But the more I watch other people play Overwatch, the more I realise that there are two major gameplay things that bother me. The first issue is the worrying amount of auto-aim going on. Off the top of my head, there are… [Continue Reading]

The Pros and Cons of Class Limits

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

We’ve all seen it before, the four Snipers on a team of twelve, taking up a third of the team, all being useless. People, especially newbies, drift towards Sniper because he is just like the characters you see in other shooters. Cool, collected, headshooters with powerful rifles. It’s familiarity in a world where giant Russians shoot down gas-masked lunatics for killing their friendly German doctors. But anyone with TF2 experience knows how useless Snipers are the more of them you have. They see these stupid team compositions and scream things like “F2PERS MUST BE SEPARATED FROM PREMIUM PLAYERS!” and “WE… [Continue Reading]

The Great Pyro Rework by Someone Who Doesn’t Play Pyro

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Yes, that title is stupid, yes, that is what I am about to do. I play Pyro a little, but I can’t say that I am a Pyro main. Then again, neither can the TF Team. But don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything dumb. Overall Changes Pyro’s base speed and health are fine. He’s supposed to be in the middle, and since every other >150hp class runs slower than 100% move speed, I don’t see why Pyro should get any more mobility, running-wise. The main changes here are to how his weaponry should work. Afterburn Pyro keeps his… [Continue Reading]

More Daily SPUF changes!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Hi everyone! Just a little quick article going over a few changes I’ve made to the Daily SPUF via this shitty chrome book. But first off, holy fuck using this chrome book is fucking tedious. Would be amazing for someone who spends all day on Facebook, but for someone who actually uses more than Chrome, it sucks. Anyway! Changes time! The first thing you’ll probably notice is that the main menu has changed again. I realised that there’s no link to view all articles in chronological order (newest to oldest) so I decided to add the Articles button. This will… [Continue Reading]
