Questions to the Editors 

Why do you do this blog?

Medic 0 Comments ,

Not being mean. Just want to know why do you do this blog? What made you start? What keeps you going? Question directed at entire Daily SPUF “staff” and regulars. Medic: I have no idea! No, seriously, I don’t. Aabicus just asked me if I wanted to write stuff, I said yes and it all went up/downhill from there. Now I’m technically in charge of this, although neither of us seem to know who’s the editor and who’s the editor in chief and who’s the person making the tea and coffee. Aabicus says it’s me but I don’t believe him.… [Continue Reading]

What’s that? A new blog post?

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Normally, most blog posts asking people to do things with or for Valve generally require a little know-how. Some elbow grease. A bit of effort. That sort of thing. Then again, generally, Valve like to ask us to make cosmetic items which they can sell and you get some profit from if you’re one of the select few who manage to get chosen and all that. Let’s just say, the chances are slim. But after today’s blog post, we’ve got something different. Merchandise. T-Shirts. Posters. Stuff like that. From the blog post, it seems that it’s just t-shirts and posters… [Continue Reading]

The Solemn Spy

Medic 0 Comments , ,

My very first article here was about the Solemn Vow, and now, over 100 articles later, I feel it’s time to revisit this glorious, semi-overpowered weapon. I’m feeling so sentimental about it that I’m even using the original photo from that article. In the original article, I spent most of my time going over the game play elements of it, how it allowed the user to make more informed decisions about whether to run away or not. Today, I want to talk about some different aspects of this weapon. The Solemn Vow to me has sentimental value. I managed to… [Continue Reading]

The Changing and the End of Stuff

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Hello, my fellow mercenaries! Today, I’m just going to mention a few bits and pieces. I love reading articles from you lot, and I love receiving them. Problem is, I can’t always tell if they’re finished and ready to be published or not. I have a bit of a weird organisation system, in which any articles that are 100% ready to publish, I leave in the Pending section and everything else gets thrown into Drafts. I generally have to edit most articles before they’re finished anyway, since a few of you forget to set your categories or don’t add any… [Continue Reading]

Overflowing Into Other Games

Medic 0 Comments ,

Most people who consider themselves gamers will probably 1. be fairly good at video games, 2. play lots of video games and 3. be able to adapt more quickly when they switch from game to game. I’m not one of those people. I struggle my way through games, almost always playing on Easy the first time through. I slither my way awkwardly into the Player Vs Player aspects of games and sneak around like a BLU Spy trapped in the depths of a heavily guarded RED base. You’ve heard me say this a billion times before: I am shit at… [Continue Reading]

Battle of the Healers – Medic VS Sona again

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

“Medic, what the hell are you doing?” Well, Sona got reworked, so I felt I ought to give her a chance and see if she fares better than Medic now or not. The Team Fortress Classic Medic will never change and chances are that the Team Fortress 2 Medic won’t change either, but since Sona has, maybe she does better now? Um, well, actually, no. Before we start, we ought to go over what happened to the poor mute musician. Before the 4.13 patch, Sona got by with equal cooldowns on her 3 main skills and her gimmick was that… [Continue Reading]

Remember those bots?

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Most people hate the AI-controlled bots, that were based off the AI for the Left 4 Dead AI survivors and infected. It’s not hard to see why, as many servers rely on bots to entertain the few people in the server during quieter times of the day. They’ve become the pawns of those who run servers only to make a profit. Everyone’s favourite teacher of TF2 tricks, AngrySockPuppet, even made a video about how the abuse of bots is making life a misery for people who just want to play a game of Team Fortress 2. These bots came in… [Continue Reading]

What I think should happen with the Demoman’s Shields

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Let me be frank, I’m a Medic main so I’m going to be a tad biased here, but I’M the person who’s always being targeted by these damn sword-swinging bastards and whenever I need a good bit of explosive work done, all I can ever find are more of these damn medieval wannabes. Just because you have a grenade launcher, doesn’t mean you’re an explosives expert. You have the same, if not less explosive power than a damn Soldier if all you have is a grenade launcher, a shield and a fancy sword. Oh and let’s not forget that these… [Continue Reading]

“OH GOD MY EYES!”

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, a young Medic decided to look for a nice Team Fortress 2 wallpaper for her desktop. But unbeknownst to the little Medic, someone had turned off Safe Search on her search engine. As the scrolling continued, the nasty pictures started appearing. One by one, they corrupted the little Medic’s mind, before driving him completely insane. After much agonizing pain, the Medic screamed, smashed his laptop to bits and went outside for some fresh air. Alright, that was slightly over-dramatic, but things can happen when that safe search function is turned… [Continue Reading]
