Brand new video game articles, every day!
SPUFblog really likes Medieval Mode. You have plenty of evidence. Even if the gamemode itself is not the most popular one, it is still enough popular that it gets played regularly, and you can pretty much always find a good server where to play (I unluckily can’t say the same for Arena…). And this means you pretty much always have a chance to play the subclass we’re talking about today: The Caberdemo! Or the Handgrenade demo. Caberknight? Democaber? It’s not played that often, and thus people usually just refer to it as “That Demo who is just trying to be annoying”. But the Caberdemo… [Continue Reading]
One of the most common problems with submitted articles is that images are hyperlinked to elsewhere on the internet. The problem with doing this is that if anything happens to this other site, the links will break on The Daily SPUF and the image won’t be visible. For that reason, I’d like to ask that you upload images onto The Daily SPUF and then link to the image that way. Here’s a very simple guide outlining the steps: 1. Save the image onto your computer. 2. When the time comes to add the picture into the article, click the “Add… [Continue Reading]
So. It’s been a long time since July 10th, when this update arrived. With it, Valve sought to rebalance some common staples of TF2 play, and bring some new weapons to the forefront. In those five months… what’s changed? Has Valve done what it set out to do? Did they change the face of public servers forever with their weapon balance?
Well… No.
Oh, hello! Um, what was I talking about? No, I wasn’t sneakily getting high off my Kritzkrieg… Ah, the Otolaryngologist’s Mirror. One of my favourite hats. I love it so much, I own an unusual version of it. But it’s always surprised me that so people like it. I always assumed it was something along the lines of it being old or something, but I just don’t know. Oh well, at least I don’t need to offer my first-born for an unusual one…
MONOLOGUE I promised myself I’d never do this again, but since Season 3 was apparently a tie, we must settle the score once and for all. That’s right. It’s the seasonal spamfest known as the… TEXAS GUNSLINGER MASSACRE IV Since the July 10th patch, Engineers have been dealt a heavy blow with nerfs to the Gunslinger and Wrangler, but will this be enough to help the Highlanders secure the season? DATE 12/28/2013 (Saturday) at 12:00 PM EST. *But that’s assuming Valve doesn’t screw up, but if they do, we’ll push it back a week later. SERVER I have my own… [Continue Reading]
With the second itsurblog thread closed, it’s clear to see that there is a major uproar about it. SPUFers, both big-names and the small-names, rise together as one, petitioning for a new subforum and posting up new itsurblogs, either disguised or clearly labeled. However, the few that stand against all of this madness get shut down. I argue for the unpopular position – the position that will certainly cause me some trouble, but such is the way of the minority view. Once a few people thought that the earth rotated around the sun, whereas the majority thought it was the… [Continue Reading]
Everyone had a blast during the Medieval Highlander tournament this Saturday! Ultimately, team BLU sweeped the scoreboard, only losing a single round of Helltower when RED scout Davjo drank a Bonk! and jumped his way into the Bombinomicon surrounded by enemies. I’m waiting on several people to send me their demos, and when that happens I’ll have a compilation of the tournament from several points of view, but until then you can watch the event from the eyes of the worst spy in Team Fortress 2: This tournament kicked off our initiative as SPUF community organizers to have a new… [Continue Reading]
Aabicus: I think it’s a cool idea, as I always like further ability to customize. Unfortunately, I’m such a stickler there aren’t many paints I use personally. I’ve got a real thing for White paint, I find it looks good on a lot of loadouts. Other than that very little of my stuff is painted. Instead, I find myself drawn to the default colors of most cosmetics. But I don’t discriminate based on garish hues. As a matter of fact, I’m more likely to heal those people and trust them because they’ve shelled out the dosh for paint and probably… [Continue Reading]
You read that correctly, this one isn’t an article about TF2, but about the official forum meant for its discussion. No, not the Steam Community User Discussions, I’m referring to SPUF. Or as some may call it, the Steam Powered User Forums, despite the lack of an actual “powered” noun anywhere in the title for the Steam Forums. More specifically, by SPUF, I mean the TF2 section of the Steam Forums, and that distinction is something I’m going to be touching upon in this article. To put it simply, it’s sort of odd that we as a community frequently refer to… [Continue Reading]
This was a huge week in Team Fortress 2 history! We’ve got things from every year back to 2008! 2008 saw Valve finally fix a glitch that was funny maybe the first time you witnessed it; Engineers could upgrade the dispensers in payload carts so they healed more than they should. This kind of broke payload, and was a welcome removal. On December 11th they also added some features that are now huge parts of the metagame: Teleporters and dispensers were given a Level 3 (previously only Sentries had a Level 3), spies could now recharge cloak by picking up… [Continue Reading]
