What I do when I’m not playing TF2 – TESV Skyrim

January 9, 2015 Medic 0 Comments dragon, fun, mod, non-tf2, rawr

I don’t play TF2 24/7. That’d be silly. And I’d get very sick of the game after not very long. Yes, the person called Medic does play other games. Most of the time, I play a healing passive role. Throw me into Dota 2 and I’ll find the most passive champion around and play that. Same with League of Legends. Borderlands 2 is slightly different, I basically become a pure healing Siren or a bullet sponge. My Berserker (named Heavy, heh), currently has, what, 10k health? And he’s not even on True Vault Hunter Mode yet. But yeah, normally I’m… [Continue Reading]

A Run Down on This Year’s Festive Weapons

January 7, 2015 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, festive, hat, weapon

For the last few years, we’ve received Festive Weapons, weapons made pretty and Christmassy for the winter holidays. The first year, we got 9 stock weapons, the second year,we got 9 mostly unique weapons like the Huntsman and the Flare Gun, the third year we got 9 more unique popular weapons and this year, we got, um, 7 weapons. Yeah, some people missed out. The weapons this year were the following: Bonk! Atomic Punch, Shotgun, Backburner, Chargin’ Targe, Bonesaw, SMG and Revolver. A larger collection of stock weapons, at the expense of some classes not getting their own weapons and… [Continue Reading]

My first time in a first person shooter…

January 2, 2015 Medic 0 Comments experience, fun, history, l4d, non-tf2

I was never designed to be a gamer. I have the coordination skills of a donkey in ice skates, I over-think things and I jump at everything. Before I discovered PC Gaming, I used to play platformers and Worms Armageddon on the Play Station 2. First Person Shooters never really appealed to me, especially since it’s damn hard aiming with a console controller unless you have some sort of aim assist. Not that I ever really played one. Siphon Philter was probably the closest thing I played to a FPS and in that, I just set everyone on fire with… [Continue Reading]

Happy New Year! I hope…

December 31, 2014 Medic 0 Comments announcement, event, fun, future, new year

Welp, it’s 2015 now. At least for Ol’Medic here writing this article. It won’t be 2015 for another 7 hours or so according to the blog’s internal clock, but that’s the sort of stuff that happens when we all live in different time zones. So yes, happy new year! I hope. Let’s take a few minutes of your precious time to see how 2014 went, at least for TF2. In the real world, it was turmoil as always, with chaos in the Middle East and on the borders of Russia and Ukraine, not to mention Ebola being a bastard and… [Continue Reading]

Fun things about the Grappling Hook

December 29, 2014 Medic 0 Comments fun, game mode, map, stock, update, weapon

I’ll be frank, I don’t like Mann Power, because it utterly sucks if you’re not one of the 9 people with a power up. You just get your backside handed to you unless you’re clearly skilled enough to outplay them. But on the other hand, the Grappling Hook, the second stock all-class action item after the Spellbook Magazine, is tons of fun. Why? Because everyone can use it whenever they want, as long as the server allows it. And I, being the antisocial offline player that I am, decided to experiment round with it. First off, to enable the hook,… [Continue Reading]

Demoman got nerfed, but FAIRLY this time! – Smissmas 2014

December 23, 2014 Medic 0 Comments change, demoman, event, game mode, map, nerf, recap, update, weapon

After EotL, there wasn’t much hope in the TF2 community. But Valve brought a small amount of hope back with the 2014 Smissmas update. And what did it contain? Those promised Demoman changes from the Love and War update! You all remember that, right? The changes that broke him and made Engineers run rampant that they thankfully reversed? This time round, Valve actually thought about it AND listened to the community! First off, here’s the patch notes. I warn you now, it’s a biggie! All Players who play TF2 during the event will receive a Gift: a Stuffed Stocking! Stockings… [Continue Reading]

Regenerating Health and not a Medic

December 22, 2014 Medic 0 Comments medic, sniper, soldier, weapon

I have a thing about regenerating health. I like it. If I’m falling back, I can heal some of that damage I just took before I am even close to a health kit. Regenerating health though is sparse, because it counters all forms of damage over time and generally punishes people for not finishing you off. It always used to be that Medics were the only people with regenerating health, but now we have two more sources of this small but appreciated ability. When it comes to regenerating health, it’s been a bumpy ride. The Blutsauger was the original weapon… [Continue Reading]

Very Festive SPUF Event

December 21, 2014 Medic 1 Comment event, fun, Highlander, smissmas, snow

After EotL, everyone was very depressed. So I, sensing an opportunity to make people feel better, conjured up a little event. The premise was simple. A normal Highlander match with an extra Demoknight (can’t leave out those Demoknights!), while wearing your festive items. And hopefully, the Winter Noisemaker. The map rotation was simple: Winter TF2 maps only. You can’t have a Smissmas party on Dustbowl now, can you? Although the game started late, as we tried to sorted out players and stuff, but we managed to get some wonderful people from the Fast Company regulars to fill any slots and… [Continue Reading]

A Pyro Story

December 19, 2014 Medic 0 Comments fun, pyro, story

He admired their tenacity. They were all down there, planning an attack on the newly recaptured Foundry. Again. They were gathered around the table, pointing at a map, drawing lines and suggesting ideas. All nine of them. Their Spy had gathered the intelligence. Stolen it from under the noses of his own team. He’d seemed to have recovered well from being shot in the face by his team mates. Pyro knew though that deep down, the silly little Frenchman was bitter. And why shouldn’t he be bitter? After all, he was ever so cruelly tricked. The information had been pieced… [Continue Reading]
