A Christmas Article 2023

Medic 0 Comments ,

Today is Christmas Day, a day of celebration and gifts and stuff. It’s a hideously over-commercialized holiday and companies want you to spend tons of money so that their shareholders make even more millions. But at the same time, it’s also supposed to be a time to be with family. Hopefully, you don’t hate your family and spend it together, but the ‘tradition’ (more like a trope) is that Christmas is a massive mess and everyone hates each other and no one gets along, but somehow, at the end of the day, some people are happy. Personally, this Christmas for… [Continue Reading]

Happy Holidays 2022!

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Wait, what? It’s December? And it’s the 25th? Christmas Day? What the hell happened? Where did December go? How did we get here? No, seriously, I swear that December has flown by. Maybe it’s because this Christmas is rather different compared to previous Christmases. Lots of different things going on. For me, it’s the first time I’m spending Christmas away from family, and everything is a little bit exciting and definitely very different. But yeah, it’s Christmas Day and things are nice and calm right now. It’s not snowing, but it never does when you’re on the coast. It’s only… [Continue Reading]

Fruity Mincemeat-like Chutney-Jam

Medic 0 Comments , , , , , ,

About five years ago, the family cooked up some home-made mincemeat. The process took hours, slowly chopping or cooking the many, many ingredients. That mincemeat ended up being amazing. And since we sealed the jars shut, the mincemeat actually lasted for a couple of years. However, we never really made it again, because it was time-consuming. Luckily, I have a way to speed things up. It’s not mincemeat, not the proper stuff. Quick-ish Mincemeat-like Chutney-jam This stuff looks like mincemeat and tastes sweet like mincemeat does. If you have a food processor or blender, it makes everything way, way easier.… [Continue Reading]

A Vaguely Festive Article

Medic 1 Comment , ,

Ugh. Normally I’m someone who loves the festive break. It’s always so much fun. The family gets together. We have presents. Tons of food is made and then eaten. It’s the festive season, that one chance to actually unwind for a bit and, hopefully, have plenty of time off work. No work, combined with gifts and good food, a pretty good combination for most people. Even if you’re not religious, there’s at least something to enjoy. Well, aside from Christmas music on loop in stores. I’m all for Christmas spirit, but I want to murder people after the first time… [Continue Reading]

A Cheesy Christmas Story

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Medic sat on the old leather sofa, not sure what to do with himself. It was one in the morning, so technically it was Christmas Day, but nothing felt particularly Christmas-y. The rain was pissing down outside, none of the lights were on and everyone else was asleep. Normally it was Medic who would sleep through the storms and awful weather, but something was bothering Medic and he couldn’t put a finger on it. A flash of lightning scarred the sky and was immediately followed by a crack of thunder. For a moment, everything was as bright as day, only… [Continue Reading]

First impressions of the Smissmass 2017 Cosmetics

Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments , ,

The Smissmass 2017 update dropped recently, and if any of you actually believed that there aren’t any cosmetics with this updates you must be from 2007. There are also some new taunts released with the update, but that isn’t my business to care. I am only here to look at the new hats. And as per usual, I’ll just wait a few days for the prices to drop, then get the ones I like on the SCM. It’s a lot more convenient than using the trading system.

Overwatch’s Tracer is Gay

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

The latest Overwatch comic came out (meanwhile us in the TF2 fandom forgot that was even possible…) and it shows the heroes going home for Christmas to spend time with their loved ones or lack thereof. The main story involves Tracer trying to reach the shops in time to buy a present, and the rest of this article is going to assume you’ve gone and read the comic. While its not the only major reveal in Overwatch canon that came out with this comic, it’s the one that’s got all the gaming news sites talking about it. The forums are also ripe… [Continue Reading]

The 25th, 2016

Medic 0 Comments , ,

It’s that time of year again. A large number of people are hopefully stuffing their faces with food, or opening presents. There may be snow falling on the Daily SPUF, but across the planet, even in summer-time Australia, there’s people celebrating Christmas. Most people like Christmas, if only because it’s a day off work and you can eat whatever you want and no one will judge you. Plus, you get presents, unless you’re a freakish fool like me who doesn’t like receiving gifts. No, seriously, don’t. Christmas is also a time for charity. All over the place, selfless people are… [Continue Reading]

Overwatch and Payday Christmas Events are Live!

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

Today was a big day for gaming announcements! The 4th Annual Payday Christmas event was announced yesterday, and it involves the return of everybody’s favorite Escort NPC, Vlad’s drunkard step-brother who screws up another mission and requires the Payday gang to rescue him! In addition to the new heist, we got a new pulse-pounding song from studio musician OVERKILL_Bubba and two masks inspired by the Paycheck gang, a reddit in-joke making fun of the many, many bootleg clown masks from cheap third-party websites and dime stores. But wait…who’s that mysterious man looking away from the camera? We didn’t have to… [Continue Reading]

Christmas Present Gifting Tips – 2016

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

I’ll be honest, I am feeling very Bah Humbug this year. I’m in no mood to spend money on people, and most people aren’t really fans of getting shitty art as gifts unless they’re Davjo and it’s a picture of a Snivy. I know it’s the ought that counts but my art isn’t really of gift-giving quality. That being said, I’m doing my best to be Christmassy, so here’s some nice gift-giving tips for this year! Why this year, you ask? Well, since the last time I did an article like this, things have changed. For example, gift wrap over… [Continue Reading]
