Gunslinger versus Highlander 5

aabicus 1 Comment , , ,

It’s been too long since we’ve done a SPUF event, and this one was always popular. The minisentry has also been nerfed since the last time we did these, so I think now is an appropriate time to do this. DATE 2014-11-16 (Sunday) at 1:00 PM EST. SERVER The server will be located in the central US. I will provide an IP a few hours before the match. RULES+ That’s right! Unlike previous seasons, we actually have rules! Organization! Can you believe it? • Stay positive and have fun. Don’t be that guy screaming over the mic because your team lost mid… [Continue Reading]

A New WAR! Update?

Night 0 Comments , , , ,

Shortly after the release of this year’s Scream Fortress, a Facepunch user named testinglol (who has leaked and predicted several previous updates) found code in the game files suggesting there would be an update that would pit the Spy and Engineer against one another in the style of the WAR! Update that happened all the way back in 2009. Being a Spy main, this interested me supremely. You can find a full list of the features here, or watch Valve News Network’s video here. But for those of you who didn’t head off to soak in those links, here’s a… [Continue Reading]

TF2Kart – Racing Madness!

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

Did Scream Fortress’ bumper cars get you yearning for more Team Fortress karting madness? InstantMuffin from GotSticed, the developer of PropHunt TNG we interviewed a few months ago, has announced his newest TF2 mod, which is all about racing up to 15 other players in frantic laps around a custom track. There are pickups which allow you to fire rockets, drop bananas or give yourself a speed boost. I like to time my speed boost right before a huge jump and see how much air time I can clock. The server fills up quick, but that’s all the more reason to try it out! 16 bumper cars… [Continue Reading]

Scream Fortress 6 is here!

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

Yep, Scream Fortress is here! And it’s really bloody insane. There’s spells! And curses! And Carnival stuff! And BUMPER CARTS! Yeah, seriously. Alright, first things first, the basics. Merasmus forgot to build his evil carnival on top of an ancient burial ground and is now hiring you to do that for him. Said carnival is actually a variant of SD_Doomsday. You get the tickets (not the Australium) to the giant lift and then you get sent to a bumper carts minigame. That’s pretty much it. Actually, it’s not, but we’ve got a ton of articles coming up about all this!… [Continue Reading]

The Plight of These Pestilential Pumpkin Presents

aabicus 0 Comments , , , ,

Halloween is back! As Valve recently announced, all five of the previous Halloween events are playable! (I’m not sure why that’s news, they always make the old Halloweens playable, but it’s still appreciated.) However, as much as I want to get into the Halloween spirit, the one thought plaguing my mind is, “Are those darn presents going to screw me over again?” Most of the old Halloween maps come with presents that grant the player who picks it up some sort of event-restricted cosmetic reward. And that’s about all that’s remained consistent over the years, except for the number of… [Continue Reading]

Medic 2 Comments , , , ,

Hello everyone and welcome to the 500th post on the Daily SPUF! That’s right, we’ve reached 500 articles and almost all of them are full of cool TF2 stuff and you should go and read every single article! Okay, fine, don’t do that (although it can take up a lot of your time), but instead of reading every single article, why not enter this contest! Yep, we’re hosting a 500th Article Special contest here. No, this isn’t an excuse to make you all do all the work, because I’ll also be writing a bunch of articles too, based on what… [Continue Reading]

PhlogistiCast updates: 2014 Saxxies and the fourth TF2 comic!

Dekky 0 Comments , , ,

  Some say that one day at Valve is six years for the rest of us. Some blame this temporal distortion for the delay of certain games and DLC. Some have feared the PhlogistiCast has also defected to Valve Time. I am here to put your fears to rest. It’s not true. What proof do you need, besides two videos in one weekend?! That’s right, we’ve got two thrilling news videos up on our channel and waiting for your views! In the first I ask Nethero, esteemed SFM expert, about the 2014 Saxxy winners and his own experiences with the… [Continue Reading]

TF2 Saxxy Awards Winners and TF2 Update 01/10/14

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Welp, the winners have been announced! And I was mostly completely wrong. The only one that I guessed would win and got right was that TF2 in 60 seconds one. Anyway, the winners are: Best Short: Team Fortress 2 in 60 seconds Best Drama: Defect_ Best Comedy: About a Scout Best Action: Rivalry Rush Best Overall: Animation VS Animator! A very interesting pick from Valve. I think everyone knew that TF2 in 60 seconds was going to win and Defect_’s chances were really, really high. But I am genuinely surprised that Animation VS Animator was chosen to be the best overall.… [Continue Reading]

Happy birthday, Team Fortress!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Today, Team Fortress celebrates its 18th birthday! Now it can go out and drink and drive and all that… Depending on what country or state you’re in. Let’s hope that Team Fortress doesn’t overdo it and find itself at a police station or hospital. Anyway, happy birthday, Team Fortress! Hope you make it to the grand old age of 20! For fun, why not email the TF2 team and wish them a happy birthday in (virtual) person? Click here and send them a message! Try not to mention any bugs though. If you want to do that, send them a… [Continue Reading]

Hi all! Just thought I’d take a chance to let you know that a fanmade MMO I work for, Legends of Equestria, is having an Open Server Weekend right now, where you can play it and try it out! Set in the world of Equestria, you first get to make your own pony through an intensive character creation system, and then you’re free to explore five different expansive regions, including starter cities for the three main species. Go on quests, purchase and wear cosmetics, and even adopt pets! I’m one of the writers, and I’m really proud of all the… [Continue Reading]
