In Memory of XYTWO

January 25, 2015 aabicus 1 Comment mourning, SPUF

XYTWO was one of the most recognizable SPUF regulars in the TF2 forums. He participated in conversations serious or silly, long or short, and far as I know he got along well with everyone. He had a fondness for Asian cartoons and he mained Pyro. He was among the top posters in all of the various itsurblogs and he even wrote one of our first guest articles. The two of us had a running gag hailing from the 1st Itsurblog’s D&D session where we’d pretend to have UST for each other. Spycicle has recently informed the forum that XYTWO died… [Continue Reading]

SPUF sings It’s Beginning to Look Alot Like Dustbowl

December 24, 2014 Jaydor 0 Comments Christmas, fun, holiday, music, sing, SPUF

Download the song here. It had been a while since the last community project or contest, SPUF needed something to break up the usual chain of threads, and the holidays were coming up soon. So I thought, why not have SPUFers sing a well known TF2 version of a Christmas song together for fun? And thus, I created the thread for SPUF sings. It was something I’d brought up in an itsurblog thread or two prior, but I only just created it this last November. Of course, the idea wasn’t original at all, the concept was shamelessly ripped from a… [Continue Reading]

The End of the Line Is Here

December 9, 2014 Medic 0 Comments end of the line, maps, movie, SFM, update

So, after three weeks of crates and a year of hype, the End of the Line, the second Community Update after Robotic Boogaloo, has finally, FINALLY arrived. Finally. What’s in this fancy update, you ask? Let’s count. The fancy, voiceless 14 minute video, the End of the Line, featuring a train with a bomb on it and Scout as always. 21 cosmetics, as seen in the End of the Line video. A variant of the sitting Pyro taunt. Something to do with ducks. Four new unusual effects. One multi-class weapon. Keys for those crates we’ve been deleting over the last 3… [Continue Reading]

Demoknights VS Highlanders – The Results!

November 23, 2014 Medic 0 Comments demoknight, demoman, event, fun, Highlander

When they said “Demoknight” they didn’t mean what I saw in tonight’s Demoknights VS Highlanders match. Demoknight implies some bastard Demoman using the Booties, the Targe and one of the swords. Demoknight implies Sword-using-moron. No, what I saw tonight was NOTHING BUT GRENADES WHICH BLOCKED OUT THE SUN. Hybrid Demoknights VS Highlander was even more hell than Gunslingers VS Highlanders when it came to spam. At any one time, there were as many as 36 grenades at once, all flying towards the hapless Highlanders. Originally, I hadn’t planned to play in the Demoknight VS Highlander match, but a lack of players… [Continue Reading]

Gunslingers vs. Highlanders V results!

November 17, 2014 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, engineer, game mode, Highlander, recap

Season 5 of Gunslinger vs Highlander has come and gone, and once again SPUF’s longest-lasting circuit has surprised everyone with a Highlander sweep. After securing pl_swiftwater by preventing the Gunslingers from capping second and then capping first in fewer seconds, Highlander secured the midpoint and pushed all the way into last, winning 3 times in a row for best 3/5. While this technically ended the event, both teams decided to play koth_ashville anyway, and here’s where the matches really got close. Several could have gone either way, but ultimately Team Highlander won the first three matches, taking king-of-the-hill and becoming… [Continue Reading]

Gunslinger versus Highlander 5

November 11, 2014 aabicus 1 Comment engineer, event, Highlander, SPUF

It’s been too long since we’ve done a SPUF event, and this one was always popular. The minisentry has also been nerfed since the last time we did these, so I think now is an appropriate time to do this. DATE 2014-11-16 (Sunday) at 1:00 PM EST. SERVER The server will be located in the central US. I will provide an IP a few hours before the match. RULES+ That’s right! Unlike previous seasons, we actually have rules! Organization!

That’s right, we’ve reached 500 articles and almost all of them are full of cool TF2 stuff and you should go and read every single article!

Yep, we’re hosting a 500th Article Special contest here. No, this isn’t an excuse to make you all do all the work, because I’ll also be writing a bunch of articles too, based on what… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Hello! thread

September 30, 2014 Medic 5 Comments mourning, SPUF, TFC

On September 29th 2014, the Hello! thread, originally created in the Team Fortress Classic forum, was brutally murdered, after a traumatic last two days. What’s the Hello! thread, you ask? Well, it started off as a joke when TF2 Comics #3: A Cold Day in Hell, was released. Being called the Medic, I realised that I had indeed betrayed my mercenaries and took shelter in the Team Fortress Classic forum. This silly thread slowly turned into first a TF2 discussion thread and then into an itsurblog thread. But the Hello! thread was a nice thread. The pace was slow. The… [Continue Reading]

Itsurblog and SPUF-IRC

September 3, 2014 sham1 0 Comments

IRC Well, after the newest itsurblog-thread’s maker was banned from SPUF, I thought that “OK, I have had this idea in my head for very long time now. I shall create IRC for SPUF”. Now, the thing I want to discuss here is about that IRC channel that I made and itsurblog in general. So, first of all, lets shamelessly (lol pun) plug about my IRC. This IRC channel is at Quakenet so connecting here will get you there, if you connect into channel called #spuf. The rules there are not being moderated by SPUF moderators (obviously because it is unofficial),… [Continue Reading]
