I guess it’s campaigns forever now…

Medic 1 Comment , , , ,

The Smissmas update is not exactly that Smissmas-y. Yes, Miss Pauling is supposedly on holiday. Yes we’ve got the noise makers and the stockings. Yes there’s a festive crate wandering around. But there’s no spirit or anything going around. Once everyone’s dumped their Giftapults and Secret Saxtons, that’s kinda it. Previous years weren’t much better, but they did bring new weapons for people to use. Just a few generally, but enough. This year we’ve received not new weapons, but weapon reworks and not always in a good way. It’s not really a rework if a weapon is made pretty much… [Continue Reading]

When you thought the Phlog couldn’t get any worse…

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I’m actually surprised the last few days. People thought the Phlogistinator was horribad at the start of the Tough Break update but it seems like everyone’s just rolling over and accepting the changes! And if you’re not accepting the ludicrous changes that happened to the Phlogistinator, then you’re clearly some sort of fucking retard who should learn to play. While I generally feel like a retard when playing TF2 anyway (because I am undeniably shit at this game), you don’t need to be particularly smart to see that the Phlog changes were unneeded. For those of you who haven’t seen… [Continue Reading]

One of the best games to play when drunk

Medic 2 Comments , , , , , , ,

My brother asked for one thing this Christmas. A second XBOX controller. We had no idea why, but we obliged. He was ever so excited to open his gift. We soon found out why. This time of year is the sort of time where a lot of people get drunk and are in dire need of some form of entertainment to keep them amused before they start fighting one another. Rather ironically, I actually do not drink (not a drop, never ever!) but people in my family do. None of them are mean drunks, but they are sleepy. Then again,… [Continue Reading]

My thoughts on the Demoknight changes

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I am really not a fan of Demoknight. I think it’s a stupid, gimmicky class that interferes with the roles of Pyros and Spies, essentially doing their job better. And because melee hit detection is so bloody awful, you end up having your head chopped off through walls. “But Medic you can just dodge them or kill them before they get close!” I’m a fucking Medic. I can’t kill them, and you try dodging something that moves at 250% speed when you’re already watching out for everything else trying to murder you. The Tide Turner made things worse, as they’d… [Continue Reading]

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

SourceSTUFF, the lovely magazine going through the ins and outs of Source Film Maker, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2 and a few other bits and pieces, is back with its fourth issue, promising all sorts of December-y winter goodness. The theme is clearly Christmas-y this month! As always, this issue contains the lowdown on the best SFM pictures around. On top of that, SourceSTUFF have done a little round robin catch up of the events of Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2, noting all the major updates that have happened this year. As well as this, there’s a lowdown on… [Continue Reading]

Steam Caching Hell

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Edit: Everything is apparently fixed now. What actually happened is still a confusing mess of caching. Something is very wrong with Steam today. After Steam went down from too much traffic, people started realising that they were no longer logged in as themselves. This was most obvious when clicking on one’s Account Details, you’d see the information of, well, not you, the most revealing of which is payment information, Steam Guard details, your shopping cart, your purchase history and your email address. Don’t panic just yet. What is coursing the issue is said to be a caching problem, according to… [Continue Reading]

The 25th

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Hello, this is the Daily SPUF I hope you’re getting all enough of super duper Christmas presents, but that is not all Christmas’ essence. Because it’s that time of the year, where we gift those that we hold dear. And cause we keep that meaning true, we wrote this nice poem for you. For that you have a merry Christmas, and leave some milk and plenty biscuits, for aaby to eat and eat and cheer, so that he must lose weight next year! -InstantMuffin Not really got much to say. I know this is mostly a Christian thing, with other… [Continue Reading]

Medic buffs – Good or Bad?

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The Medic is the big game changer of TF2. It’s rare that a pure support class has that position in any video game, but that’s one of TF2’s strong points. Of course, being a game changing person means that making tweaks, changes, buffs, nerfs, anything, can be a huge problem for not just the individual but the entire game. So I was rather surprised when I saw rather unusual changes for Medics in the Tough Break update. But are they good or are they bad? Honestly? Medic didn’t really need anything at all. All of the class’s problems lay within… [Continue Reading]

A Very Festive SPUF Event 2

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Well, the Very Festive SPUF event, the sequel at least, has been and gone. It involved a bunch of maps, a bunch of changes, me not playing MvM like I wanted and a bunch of other bits and pieces. A random bunch of maps were played, including none of the maps we originally picked out. Apart from Coldfront and Viaduct. I originally wanted to do a Highlander match like the last Festive SPUF event, but I knew we simply didn’t have the numbers. I considered doing MvM but people didn’t like that idea. So we all kinda ended up just… [Continue Reading]

The Tough Break Update – New TF2 Update – 17/12/15

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

A new TF2 update has been released. I assume this is the winter update we’ve all been expecting, although there is a distinct lack of genuine wintery things apart from the end of the article. Anyway, here’s the Tough Break Update. As of publishing, it hasn’t been released yet, but that ain’t stopping me from giving you a vague lowdown of all this stuff. Looks like standard stuff at first. It’s a new contract thing, just like Gun Mettle, costing $5.99 and introducing 26 new contracts, which I hope have been integrated with the old ones so we’ve got some… [Continue Reading]
