So, about those Pyros…

March 2, 2014 Medic 1 Comment criticism, pyro

Pyros are the bane of my existence. They’re the one thing that can screw up a perfectly good push, apart from another Ubercharge. They have a lot going for them yet are also considered the weakest class in the game, despite their ability to completely screw over multiple classes. So what about them? The issue with Pyro is simple. Pyros are bloody annoying. Ask someone to name some of the most annoying things to be killed by, and a Pyro-related death will almost certainly be on that list. Even when they’re not killing you, they’re still annoying. Time to break… [Continue Reading]

A Story – Spy’s Dream

February 26, 2014 Medic 0 Comments spy, story

Instead of the normal stuff, let’s take five minutes to pause and think about how TF2 would be like without respawn machines.

Let’s fix two weapons at once!

February 24, 2014 Medic 0 Comments medic, theory, weapon

Last night, I had a genius idea. I worked out how we could fix not one, but two weapons at once, and you wouldn’t even need to do much work. Yes, folks, I believe I may have the answer to our Quick Fix and Vaccinator worries! Maybe. Possibly. Okay, probably not, but oh well.

Demoman could be the new Jack of All Trades

February 22, 2014 Medic 0 Comments comparison, demoman, soldier, theory

I can hear the Soldiers screaming at me already. They’re charging towards me in their fancy BLU uniforms… Oh wait, I just Kritzed a Demoman instead of Ubering a Heavy. All that’s left are gibs. Yes, after much consideration, I have realised that the Demoman is just as, if not more versatile than the Soldier. Let’s have a look at why.

Unusuals – a Thought, Part 2

February 21, 2014 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, trading, unusual

Like a lot of my work, I don’t often feel that I’ll bother writing a part 2, since my best work is normally a one-off thing that can’t be repeated. But on Tuesday, the 4th of February, I purchased my first non-Medic unusual, and the fourth unusual I’ve ever bought. That prompted me to write a new article.

Κάποιος είπε να γράψω κάτι σε άλλη γλώσσα…

February 20, 2014 Medic 2 Comments comparison, fun

Δεν έχετε ιδέα τί έγραψα. Ούτε εγώ ξέρω ακριβώς τί έγραψα. Είμαι ο Γιατρός. Τα άλλα μέλη της ομάδας μου είναι ο Βαρύς, ο Κατεδαφιστής, ο Κατάσκοπος, ο Μηχανικός, ο Εμβρηστής*, ο Ανιχνευτής, ο Στρατώτης και ο Ελευθερος Σκοπευτής. Αχ, ψέματα λαλώ. Άλλαξαν το όνομα του. Τωρά είναι ο Ακροβολιστής. Όμως δεν έχουν αλλάξει το όνομά του σε μερικά, μικρά μέρη έξω από το παιχνίδι. Μην ανησυχείτε, θα σας δώσω μια μετάφραση μετά. Το παιχνίδι στα Ελληνικά δεν είναι πολύ διαφορετικό. Εκτός από το φόντο, φάινεται το ίδιο. Οι φωνές στο παιχνίδι είναι στα Άγγλικα, αλλά τα περισσότερα είναι μεταφρασμένα,… [Continue Reading]

King of the Hill? Meh…

February 18, 2014 Medic 0 Comments criticism, game mode, maps

Let’s be fair, there’s lots of things I don’t get. Rocket jumping, surfing, Freak Fortress, generic aiming and all that. But King of The Hill is just something I can never wrap my head around. They seem popular, they’re multi-purpose, they’re generally fairly good looking and they’re often a good choice for Halloween maps, but I just don’t see the appeal.

Why you should visit the Unofficial SPUF Server

February 17, 2014 Medic 0 Comments community, fun, SPUF

So, the night before this article was written, (since we don’t publish articles immediately) everyone jumped onto the SPUF server and had a whale of a time. We had all sorts of fun and it was nice. It turns out, all we have to do is throw a couple of people in there and it’s lovely. I’m going to tell you why we should visit the SPUF server more often.

Questions to the Editors

Why do you hate Snipers so much?

February 16, 2014 Medic 0 Comments balance, criticism, sniper, TFC

This question was brought to you by Medics’s siblings. I finally did this for you, now shut up. ————————– Aabicus: Snipers can be teeth-gnashingly annoying, but in all honesty they don’t bug me as much as they could. I’ve since learned to be very careful before crossing into territory where a sniper could see me, and unlike most classes, I’ve got a way to turn myself invincible against all damage, for when I finally poke my head out. That’s not to say that sniper’s niche of “deals lethal damage from the other side of the map” isn’t incredibly difficult to… [Continue Reading]

Art time with Medic – Cardboard Shotgun

February 15, 2014 Medic 0 Comments art, fun, guide, weapons

Hello everyone! In today’s article, I’m going to show you how to make a shotgun out of cardboard. Why cardboard? Oh, there’s loads of reasons. Although it’s not as sturdy as wood or metal, cardboard is far lighter, cheaper, easier to use, more forgiving if you screw up and it uses old stuff that you were only going to throw away anyway. So, let’s begin!
