Medic Speculates Again

June 26, 2015 Medic 0 Comments comic, medic, sniper, speculation, theory

I’ll be frank here, I’m a little obsessed with the TF Comic series. I really like most of it. I was not a fan of how Sniper ended up as a badly written Superman parody, since his now foster parents were REALLY nice people based on the humans in Courage the Cowardly Dog. I miss that show. But for the longest of time, there has been a lot of silence and speculation based on whatever’s happened in the past. Now we have a few more tidbits coming to light, such as an actual possible release date for issue 5. Come… [Continue Reading]

Daily SPUF’s FAQ Page is Confirmed Gay

June 25, 2015September 14, 2016 Medic 0 Comments comics, fun, joke, miss pauling, SPUF, story

Written by aabicus while the Log In Via Steam button is borked. In light of the recent reveal that Miss Pauling is gay, we here at the Daily SPUF thought the time has never been better to make a sobering announcement about a page that we all know and love. Yes. Our Frequently Asked Questions page, viewable here, is gay. We’ve never called it out. None of our readers have ever expressed an interest in knowing, or even reading it, because it’s a horribly outdated page I dashed out back when we were still a buggy mess on Blog.com and… [Continue Reading]

Why do Medics stick to Heavies?

June 24, 2015 Medic 0 Comments friends not lovers, heavy, medic

A Heavy is a Medic’s best friend. Always has been. You see, he’s basically a giant wall you can hide behind that moves around. But he’s also slow and painful and all that. Really, people give Heavy a bad name, that he’s fat and stupid and an abomination, that he should be removed or completely reworked or whatever. That’s cruel. Heavy is a simple class, designed for newer players to get in to the game, and for somewhat competent people to play if they need a brick wall or something quickly. He’s not got a high skill ceiling, but you… [Continue Reading]

Why I play League of Legends

June 23, 2015 Medic 0 Comments criticism, non-tf2, opinion, Team Fortress 2

When I say I play League of Legends, most people I know roll their eyes and sigh. Despite League of Legends having a literal fuckton of players, it seems that 90% of people I know really dislike the game. They look at me as if I’m some sort of masochist maniac. Well they’re wrong. There’s other reasons why I like League of Legends. The first reason is that I like the art style. Sadly, the style has been changing over the years, going for a more detailed, darker, Dota look. But when I started playing, everything was bright colours and… [Continue Reading]

So Miss Pauling is now gay…

June 22, 2015 Medic 1 Comment canon, comic, miss pauling, story, Team Fortress 2

According to the head writer of the TF Comic series, which probably won’t come out for another month or so due to them having been working on other things Valve-related, there’s some actual news. As for what they’ve been working on, it’s probably Dota 2 stuff. Frankly, all of Valve’s other games are getting tired of Dota 2 getting all the attention. It’s not even a proper Valve game. Anyway, as I was saying, they announced that Miss Pauling, the action-packed assistant to the Administrator, is a lesbian. Now, I’m not normally one to complain about these things. As far… [Continue Reading]

Some things you shouldn’t do in a Free To Play game

June 21, 2015 Medic 0 Comments f2p, free to play, game, non-tf2, Team Fortress 2

Today, we turn into some sort of Buzz Feed thingy and talk about a bunch of things that people rally shouldn’t put in their Free to Play games. Yes, I know you make these games to make money, but there’s plenty of ways you can do it without pissing off players. Non-pissed off players are more likely to tell other people about your game and spend money on it than pissed off players will. So let’s begin. Number 1 – Pay To Win This is always number one on any sort of Free To Play checklist. Is there anything in… [Continue Reading]

Medic Does Competitive – 6v6 and 4v4 Week 3

June 20, 2015 Medic 0 Comments 4v4, 6v6, communication, competitive, dead, steamroll, timing

Well, it’s going from bad to worse around here, as this week left me not really wanting to play TF2 any more. It’s all too much for me, I’m far too inexperienced and rusty and I suck at 5cp. Really, it’s all my fault. With Confusion missing in action still, I had to organize everything again. But this week I have been caught up by real life too. I didn’t manage to organize a scrim or anything at all, so this week’s maps, cp_Sunshine and koth_badlands were both untouched. The biggest problem was trying to find a time for people… [Continue Reading]

Medic plays Payday 2

Or, as my alternate title was going to be, “HOLY FUCK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WHERE’S THE BANK WHAT ARE WE DOING HELP!” Kettlecamper said I’d write about this. He was right. I am writing about it. I’m very confused. There were explosions and drills and guns and hostages and people on the ground and jewellery and people making meth and perk trees and bad guns and cable ties and tasers and flashbangs and smoke grenades and fire and ammo kits and bags of stuff and body bags and I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. Okay, deep breath Medic. Deep… [Continue Reading]

You’d think I was a Sona main…

If the casual person were to come up to me while I was playing TF2, they’d see why I’m called Medic. Over the last few years, I have slowly ditched my other persona (Phovos, Tahnok and Ar/Elkay) and kinda stuck with just being called Medic, occasionally splitting into being The Medic or BLU Medic if Medic alone is not available. I’m almost completely tied to this username now, no one calls me anything but Medic. Of course, such a username does mean that people make huge assumptions about what I do in other games. I’ll be honest, I prefer tanky… [Continue Reading]

Communication makes things easier…

June 17, 2015 Medic 0 Comments advice, chat, competitive, conversation, microphone

Communication makes the world go round. Actually, that’s a lie, the reason the Earth spins is to do with the conservation of angular momentum and gravity and things like that. But communication does make life a LOT easier in pretty much everything in life. Team Fortress 2 is no exception to that rule. Two things pop into mind when you think about communication in TF2 – heavily community-based servers where everyone knows each other and competitive games. In competitive TF2, communication is a matter of life and death – no matter how good a team is, bad communication will bring… [Continue Reading]
