How Do I Love Thee?

TheOnlyGuyEver 1 Comment ,

Let me count the ways… Like, at least 12. TF2 is an amazing game, and there are many, many things to love about it I could talk about various aspects all day, from the classes, to the weapons, to the fantastic art style. It’s a game that is almost 9 years old, and still has a great place in my heart. Of course, there are also things to hate about it, like random crits, unbalanced weapons, and 4 Snipers on a team, but I’ll always remember the good times that I had, and not the bad. Seriously,        … [Continue Reading]

A Week of Love and Hate 2

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Hello everyone, and first off, happy mothers day to everyone. Particularly my mum. She’s awesome. This happy mothers day wish also includes, Heavy’s mum, Demoman’s mum and Scout’s mum. Maybe not Sniper’s mum though because she’s an alcoholic lunatic who is now sitting in a rocket in low orbit drinking herself to death while having left her son to die in a flooding city. That’s not really what we should be congratulating. Anyway, back to a week of love and hate! Ah, a week of love and hate. Last time round, for Valentines Day last year, we wrote about our… [Continue Reading]

I Love Crit Combos

SilverWolf 0 Comments , , ,

Although Team Fortress 2 is known more for breeding fury with its RNG magic “You win!” 300% extra damage rolls, I adore them as a concept in multiplayer to be taken advantage of through weapon synergy as opposed to sheer luck. Sure, it may be more effective to simply mow the enemy down regularly, but goddamn, combos give you such a sense of accomplishment when you nail them. The Sandman / Flying Guillotine combo! Scout is a joy to play. Weaving and leaping throughout the map, being your team’s official meat tenderiser and throwing in second beatings free of charge.… [Continue Reading]

Coming Soon – A Week of Love and Hate 2

Medic 0 Comments , , , , , ,

Well, we may have missed Valentines Day 2016, but you know what? We don’t need any commercial holidays. Love is eternal. It is everywhere. You can’t escape it. Oh also hate is eternal too. Aaaaanyway, do you remember that Valentines Day thing we did last year, a week of love and hate? I think it’s time to do another week! Last time round, we went over classes, writing about how much we loved or loathed the nine mercenaries of Team Fortress 2. This time though, I think it’s time that we expand. Or at least change the subject. Or something… [Continue Reading]

The Spy Who Loved Me

delirious biznasty 0 Comments , , ,

The Spy has been, and always will be, my favorite class in any video game (or other game, for that matter) that has classes. Paladins of D&D, Snipers of Battlefield come close, but ultimately, they are nothing compared to our resident globe-trotting lady killer. Everything about the Spy appeals to me on every level: his sneaky, underhanded playstyle, his awesome voice lines, and his weapons. Good lord, his weapons. The way the Spy functions is so interesting, so quirky, and so unique, that it brings a whole new level of intrigue to the most intriguing mercenary around. The closest analogue… [Continue Reading]

Why I love the Engineer

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Let’s face it, no one likes the Engie. Not even people who play Engie like him, only playing because they have to. But Engie’s been my favourite class since the beginning of my TF2 career. Here’s why: 1. Buildings Engineer’s buildings seperate him from the rest of the crowd, with his Sentry Gun providing area denial, his Dispenser providing health, ammo and (to some extent), cover and his Teleporters for faster troop deployment. Though people think that Engineers should be removed because of their “grind-the-game-to-a-halt” playstyle thanks to their Sentries, many don’t realize that the lack of a Dispenser or… [Continue Reading]

Why I love the Pyro

d4m0 0 Comments , ,

Pyro is the class that I really should hate. Its combat potential is limited, it is by design the most annoying class in the game, and its flames straight-up halve my framerate. It’s almost universally despised by those at the upper tiers of competitive 6v6, my favourite TF2 gamemode. It’s a hodgepodge of ‘broken’ mechanics. And yet I’m saying it, right now: I love the Pyro class. Pyro has such a variety of useful unlocks that change your playstyle, whether you’re running degreaser/flare gun and critting everything that moves, degreaser/shotgun and having a useful close-mid range damage presence, or even… [Continue Reading]

Why I like the Heavy

sham1 0 Comments , , ,

Now people might see me as crazy because liking Heavy is kinda hipster and cool in a way. Here are some reasons why I like the Heavy: 1. One of the best cap point defenders Now some facts about the Heavy: He is tanky. Big time. With his normal healthpool of 300 and a whopping 450 hp when overhealed, Heavy becomes very good at absorbing damage. He has loads of hitscan bullets that hurt especially if too close to the barrel of death of the Minigun. With the potential 500 DPS Heavy is one of if not the best damage… [Continue Reading]

Flame the Love

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Our control over fire is what separates us from the animals. Well, that and our thumbs, the ability to stand upright, our giant brains and our adaptability. And all that stuff. Fire is also what separates enemies. Set them on fire and watch them panic and run around like headless chickens. It’s a dangerous, unknown, primordial power, only used to its full potential by the most demonic of beings. So yes, Pyro. Everyone’s favourite, genderless monster. And he really is a monster. You’ve seen Meet the Pyro, right? Ignore all the frilly dancing around Pyrovison bits, that’s the sign of… [Continue Reading]

The Inconvenience of Handsome French Men

TheOnlyGuyEver 0 Comments , , , ,

In the spirit of Valentine’s, I’m gonna do the opposite and talk about something I hate! Not really hate, I guess, but strongly dislike. Spies can be annoying, but they aren’t that difficult to deal with really. They’re more of an inconvenience to distract your team. “Spah creepin’ around here?” Well just go Pyro for a few minutes and go wild. If they’re using the Dead Ringer + Spycicle, try to just airblast them into a corner as soon as they use their Dead Ringer and pull our their Spycicle, and boom, Spy-Be-Gone! Occasionally you’ll come across that one super-duper Battle… [Continue Reading]
