Introducing the SPUF Anthology Podcast!

Binary 0 Comments ,

Good day fellow SPUFers! I’d like to introduce you all to a little project I’d like to start up. It’s a podcast, but not in the traditional sense. Introducing: The SPUF Anthology Podcast. Essentially, it is a collection of short segments submitted to us on various (hopefully) interesting topics distributed in a tri-weekly format. Designed in a way so that anyone who wants to participate has a shot- no livestreams to make, no Skype to mess with, and don’t even get me started on timezones… Segments can be created on their own time. For now we will be focusing mostly… [Continue Reading]

A New Comic!

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

Valve has released Grave Matters! It’s not the sequel to the bi-monthy comic (even though its been exactly two months since the last one), but a Halloween teaser for the upcoming Scream Fortress. Read the Comic here! SPUF is abuzz with excitement and speculation over the contents of the update, but all we know is that it’ll involve community-contributed cosmetics and they’ll all be Halloween/Full moon-restricted. There are so many unanswered questions. What TF2 map will be spookified this year? (Something payload race would be a safe bet, while others are suggesting Teufort!) Will Halloween Spells be released, allowing enterprising… [Continue Reading]

Gunslingers Vs Highlanders! Season 3 Results

Venomous Pastry 2 Comments , , , , ,

In previous Seasons, (Season 1 Season 2) the Gunslingers and Highlanders  have duked it out in an all-out war against which side would win. In Season 1, Highlanders won. In Season 2, Gunslingers won. Season 3 would be the tiebreaker as to which side would pull ahead over the other teams. However, there’s a twist this Season. On July 10th, the Gunslinger was nerfed! It no longer regens while it builds! Can this cost the Gunslingers a win? Let’s see the results then!

Huff 1 Comment , , , ,

Dear Laddies and Lassies, Me butler Samson has shown me the arts and crafts ye all have made for me pipes, and I’m astounded by the high quality of the submissions! Though I’m a wee bit sad that not every Pipe will go to a new home, the others will remain with me for the time being! Now, I have to go strangle a Leviathan to death! -Sir Donald Demoman

SPUF vs. Discussions results!

aabicus 0 Comments , , , ,

Two weeks ago we announced SPUF vs. Discussions II: Requiem, where the two Valve TF2 forums pit each other in a 3-map highlander match to determine who was better. The results are in: SPUF won the first round of koth_badlands, but Discussions rallied and won the next two, taking badlands. After that Discussions won cp_granary twice in a row. As that’s two maps out of three to SPUD, they win the tournament. Thanks for joining in everybody! We’re not sure what the next SPUF event is going to be, but stay tuned, there are more coming your way!

Yesterday’s blog post wins WordPress award for quality writing

aabicus 0 Comments

Our blog post for September 19, 2013 was certainly a winner, wasn’t it? Probably the best thing I’ve ever written. Not a word of it was anything less than Shakespearicles-quality. Some of you may have thought it was a bit short, clocking out at zero characters (with spaces included), but that’s because we are currently working on migrating the blog over to the SPUF server, hosted graciously by thesupremecmdr, who also hosts the SPUF server for TF2. Like last time, the new site is not perfectly finished yet, so I’ll be updating both with any new posts in the meantime.… [Continue Reading]

The Sticky Jumper has been nerfed

aabicus 2 Comments , , , ,

Valve had a small update on September 16th, where some unimportant stuff happened. When I first scrolled through the sparse update notes, seeing ‘bug fixes’ on item descriptions of cosmetic items, I was already thinking, whatever, it’s another one of those updates, nothing to see here. Then I read: “Updated The Sticky Jumper to only allow 2 active stickybombs at a time” Now, needless to say I’m not the only one saddened by this balance move. This innocuous training weapon has sent SPUF into a whirlwind of protest, defense, and general bewilderment. As one user put it, “Why is half… [Continue Reading]

SPUF vs. Discussions II: Reqiuem

aabicus 0 Comments , , , ,

================IMPORTANT INFORMATION====================== The Date:Saturday September 21th at 6pm GMT The Server: SPUF Custom server The Rotation: koth_badlands, cp_granary, cp_gullywash ================================================== ======= On the stroke of 2013, two forums met on a lonely snow-covered hill, then an old abandoned factory, and finally a lonely snow-covered abandoned factory. To settle an old dispute. To prove once and for all which forum was more deserving of the steam that powered it. In the ensuing battles, gibs flew freely, fallen hats marked their owners’ graves, and basically everyone involved had a great time. So now its time for a rematch! Like last time, it’ll… [Continue Reading]

Move that blog up!

aabicus 0 Comments ,

I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’ve had problems with Blog.com. As much as I love the URL, it seems like our fair blog is constantly being set upon by data vampires, who eat unsuspecting blog posts in the night. We’ve already lost three blog posts to the dastardly beasts, as well as our “Write for us!” page. In addition, readers are reporting that they cannot always see new blog posts, and the scheduling feature has a habit of just not paying attention to the set deadline. So I’m going to migrate over to wordpress and see if that solves… [Continue Reading]
