SPUF Server Going Away Party

John Caveson 0 Comments , ,

As some of you may know, the SPUFserver is shutting down in a week. And so, I’ll be hosting a go-away party so the server will have one last hurrah before dying off 4ever. This is not a formal event. There will be no custom maps, no special plugins, just plain old vanilla TF2*. The goal is to keep the server as full as we can for as long as we can. Because this is no ordinary event, I plan on having it all day. Which means, I (or some other mod/admin) will be pumping out event notifications periodically throughout… [Continue Reading]

Eyelander Eyestravaganza results!

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

Eyelander Eyestravaganza has ended, and everyone had a blast! Ultimately, AdolfKirby took first, VenomousPastry took second, and Lord Yimzo took third! There were a LOT of heads rolling around in the end, and a number of people had moments of glory as a single beheading granted them 100+ heads in one go. The much-hypothesized event map turned out to be Turbine, which gave all of us a chance to try out Valve’s optimizing patches. Of special note is the little cart that allows anyone to reach that medium healthpack hiding on that ledge near the flag spawns, thousands of players… [Continue Reading]

Help Wanted – Determining the Future of the SPUFserver

thesupremecommander 0 Comments

This announcement was made by me on the SPUFserver group recently and will probably be also made on SPUF at some point. It’s being posted here as well to get the word out. I appreciate your cooperation. I’ll just start by saying that it’s no secret that we haven’t been performing as well as we would like. We are fairly certain that the current operation of the SPUFserver is unsustainable. If we do not make changes to make the server more successful, it will have to die due to lack of funding or low traffic. This is not a desirable… [Continue Reading]

An Engineer’s Guide to Engineering

Gamemaster1379 0 Comments , , , ,

As an Engineer main who has several seasons of competitive under his belt, I am often approached by numerous newcomer Engineer players with various questions such as “What loadout should I use?” or “Where should I build in the map X?”. I would love to say I know all the answers after all my time of playing, but the reality of it is–Engineering is dynamic. It can differ from Engineer to Engineer as well as their playstyle strengths and weaknesses. It can also differ from team support and team dynamics. When it comes down to it, between variables of the… [Continue Reading]

A Farewell to Arms…

Medic 1 Comment ,

Last night, we received an email. Not just any email, a very special one from a very special company. In it was lots of technical jargon that I didn’t understand but aabicus did, as the email was meant for him and not me. We spent the whole night discussing the email and eventually, aabicus accepted the offer, despite him not receiving any pay for his services. As from today, aabicus will be writing weekly for the Team Fortress 2 blog, giving us all the juicy gossip going on with the TF2 team, as well as leaking info on any new… [Continue Reading]

“Mirrored Maps” event results!

aabicus 0 Comments , , , ,

That event was, in my personal opinion, one of our best yet! Ultimately Team 1 swept in a 3-1 victory, losing only Lwobtsud to a ninja backcap by team 2 spy John Caveson. But the real point was to try some mind-bending maps that challenged the hundreds of hours we collectively have on the classics, and I saw more than one person bump into a wall during the event. Kip‘s streams of the event are posted on Youtube for those who’d like to rewatch the event. Thanks Kip and KobeKun for casting the event! And if you missed it, don’t… [Continue Reading]

Beloved Daily SPUF Redirect URL Shutting Down, Millions in Mourning

aabicus 1 Comment , , ,

If our fair blog were a TF2 playstyle, he’d be a roamer. A while back we switched from spufblog.com to blog.spuf.info, and left the old URL as a redirect that aabicus was paying 18 dollars a year to keep running. Well, it didn’t seem that useful so we’re closing it down. If you don’t interact with the “spufblog.com” URL, this won’t affect you, and really this won’t affect the visible blog in any way. So if you need to, check and update your bookmarks; the old URL was on the first page of the SPUF megathread for some time.
