Colourblind Mode is Useless

November 23, 2015 Medic 0 Comments color, colorblind, colourblind, criticism, suggestion, team

In a game where everyone’s a specific colour and and you need to shoot everyone not wearing the same colour as you, it’s important to know who you are supposed to be shooting and where you’re supposed to be going. This isn’t always possible if you have some form of colourblindness. Some games feature a option or setting, in order to accommodate those who can’t see colours as well as we can. Now, I’m definitely not colourblind. I used to look at those coloured, “can you see the number?” things and easily point out what number it is. I am… [Continue Reading]

Dawnguard Snipin’ – Part 3

November 20, 2015 Medic 0 Comments dawnguard sniping, non-tf2, Skyrim, sniper

G’day! It’s clear that mercenary work here in Skyrim ain’t quite like it is back at home, mates. And after that nasty little crash that invisible flying lizard had in store for me, I ain’t playing around any more. There’s a bunch of vampire mongrels that need killing and I’m just the guy to do it. So here I am in this horrible cave and would you look at that! It’s damn perfect for sniping. Look at that view. I’m going to assume that the glowy blue thing is where I have to go. There’s someone behind it but I… [Continue Reading]

The Isaacing of Binds

November 19, 2015 Medic 0 Comments Binding of Isaac, crits, game, luck, non-tf2, random, rng

I’m a royal pain in the ass when it comes to trying out new games. It’s very easy for them to annoy me and for me to stop playing, assuming I even get started. Elder Scrolls Online for example pissed me off early on by making lockpicking, stealth and archery all a real pain in the backside. No, I wasn’t expecting Skyrim Online, but I expected, I don’t know, something better, especially since it costs so much just to play the base game, and they had subscriptions and now they have an in-game shop. The Binding of Isaac though is… [Continue Reading]

Administering Medication in Mannpower

November 17, 2015 Medic 0 Comments criticism, guide, mannpower, medic, suggestion, This article is dedicated to typenter, weapon

This article is dedicated to typenter, one of the winners in the 900th article giveaway. Mannpower. The one game mode that no one is really sure about, and the only official one that can make people completely overpowered. But unlike Mann VS Machine, where you have to work towards your strength, and unlike custom community game modes where everyone is overpowered (Multiplied by Ten) or everyone works together to take down one overpowered enemy (Versus Saxton Hale or Freak Fortress), Mannpower’s overpoweredness depends on two things – who can get the power ups first and who’s got the best Scouts.… [Continue Reading]

The Saxxies are back again…

November 14, 2015 Medic 0 Comments contest, drama, film, saxxies, SFM

Oh hey, it’s the Saxxies again. And thank heavens they’ve made things a bit easier this time around. Well, kinda. There’s been a slight change in the rules. Short entries are still a minute long (otherwise they wouldn’t be short!) but the other categories have all been decreased to be 3 minutes long, down from 5 minutes. Anyone wishing to do a longer video has to enter in the Extended category, but the maximum is still 5 minutes. I can see why they’d lower this. Almost every entry last year pushed itself right up against that 5 minute mark, and… [Continue Reading]

Liberty Liability – Having fun with the Liberty launcher

November 11, 2015 Medic 2 Comments balance, overpowered, soldier, weapon

I’ve always been a bit of a purist. For years, I insisted on using stock weaponry on almost all my classes. I still do for Sniper, Spy and Scout, and I use mostly stock on Demoman, Pyro and Heavy. It took me a long time to finally let go of my trusty Bonesaw in exchange for the Solemn Vow. Soldier though has always been different for me. I’ve never been able to settle on a loadout I actually enjoy, and that includes stock weapons. Now I have. Before I go on about the Liberty Launcher, I want to explain WHY… [Continue Reading]

900th Post Raffle Winners

November 9, 2015 Medic 1 Comment 900, contest, disappointment, giveaway, raffle, winners

Hiya everyone! Just popping by after today’s article to inform you of the winners of the raffle from our 900th post. I’ll be honest, I’m quite disappointed in the very low turn out. Thankfully SPUFers have the decency to see free stuff and enter. Redditers don’t seem to care unless it’s some sort of gimmick or video or something. Written articles rarely do well on r/tf2/ unless there’s pictures or real life stuff to go with it. I’ve written down all the names of everyone who entered. We only had 5 entries on Reddit, so there’s no point having 3… [Continue Reading]

Saucy Source Stuff

November 8, 2015 Medic 0 Comments competition, Dota 2, fun, magazine, pictures, SFM, source, Team Fortress 2

Not much happens on SPUF, but occasionally someone will pop up with an idea or product or some other project they want to flog. I’ve always been happy to promote these things because I’m not a very good business person, but also because some of these things are occasionally really good. Yes, I know, it’s stupid to advertise the competition, but sometimes you come across something cool and you feel you need to share it. I don’t know how many of you remember Witchyyyy. They’ve done some very nice SFM stuff for us over the last year or so. She’s… [Continue Reading]

Dawnguard Snipin’ – Part 2

November 7, 2015 Medic 0 Comments dawnguard, dawnguard sniping, Skyrim, sniper, sniping

Ah, you’re all back. Thought I’d lost you all back there. Well, after some fun with Merasmus, I’m in Skyrim. This vampire thing called Lord Harkon just gave me a choice to become a giant monster and work for him, or go home. Look how demanding this wanka is. Look at him. Wanka. I don’t think I want to work for him, so he… Wow, that bloody fruitshop owner just kicked me out of his damn castle. Not even a bloody reward. Ya hear that, kids? Don’t trust those vampires. Cheap bastards. So I’m going to have to walk all… [Continue Reading]
