Medieval Highlander results!

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , ,

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]

Write Some Moar – The Sequel!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

“But Medic, what on earth are you talking about? You write all the time!” I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about the chance to write stories for prizes! More to the point, I’m talking about the wonderful writing contest known as Write Some Moar! on the TF2 SPUF forums. Last time, 29 stories featuring over 70,000 words were judged by a panel of, um, judges, and much fun was to be had. And that fun has returned with the appearance of Write Some Moar! 2. Hosted by Argeon, instead of fighting with weapons, we’re fighting with words for lots… [Continue Reading]

The Guillotine Games!

BiteTheBullet 0 Comments , , , ,

You surely know the Scout. You probably know he’s a baseball fan from Boston. You may know his mom has been having some romantic visits from his co-worker. But did you know he has ties with the Chinese mafia? Or that he is actually just a very lonely guy that needs a hug? Okay, that last part may not be true, but either way, the Red Sox, the Chinese mafia, and I are proud to present the upcoming event: The First Annual Guillotine Games! So what is this all about?You will be fighting with and against other scouts with this… [Continue Reading]

Surviving Scream Fortress 2013 as a Medic

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

“What? Surviving Scream Fortress? As a Medic? Surely that should be a piece of cake? It’s just like any other map!” You’re serious? It’s nothing like any other map. It’s an event based on one of the most deathmatch-y maps around, with more spam and confusion than you can shake a stick at. Throw in your normal Hightower threats like Mini-Sentries, and a whole new extra pit for Pyros, Scouts and explosive classes to launch you into, it’s nigh impossible to get around as a Medic. Well, not impossible, but it’s far harder than most Halloween events. Today, we’ll be… [Continue Reading]

Scream Fortress 2013 is LIVE!

Medic 1 Comment , ,

Well, the update is up. PLR_Helltower, based off Hightower. It’s the most horrific, nonsensical, spammy Halloween update ever. But at least Medics got something cool: Medic’s Crusader Crossbow now silently reloads when unholstered, similar to Pyro flaregun. In PvP Medics can now see the clip status of a patient’s active weapon Here’s the rest of the update info. About time, don’t you think? Anyway, there’s spell books, a haunted island, all sorts. Explosions everywhere. Fire everywhere. Spells everywhere. Skeletons everywhere… Everything everywhere!

Why the CnD deserves some love

InstaCakes 1 Comment , , , , , , , , , ,

Howdy! First post on the SPUF blog here, and since I noticed a certain lack of Spy posts, here’s one about possibly the most unloved (and probably least mentioned!) weapon in TF2: The Cloak ‘n’ Dagger. At first, it seems like a straight upgrade, but when moving it actually drains cloak faster than you’d think, certainly faster than the Invis Watch, and it refuses to collect ammo. Most people just craft it off or let it be as a keepsake or a Spy weapon to collect, but it’s actually damn useful at times. Here’s why.

“That’s a lotta gun…”

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

So, as some of you may have heard, Gunslingers VS Highlanders season 3 concluded the other day, after a hard struggle on both sides and a lot of mess and confusion. You probably read that post announcing the winners. If you didn’t, it was a tie. Four maps, one of which fatally crashed, with mini-sentries everywhere. Why am I writing about this when you’ve probably already heard about it? Well, I think you should know how it feels like, being on the Highlander side. As the team’s Medic. Yeah, it’s horrible.

The Winners of the Twenty-Nine Pipes!

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

The Trials and Tribulations of Running an Event

thesupremecommander 0 Comments , ,

So some of you may know me as an admin for the SPUFserver. It’s a job that comes with a lot of pain because running a server is very hard work. However, it’s a job that can be quite a bit of fun, knowing that you are the god of the little TF2 universe stuck within that server. One of the interesting things I get to do is pop up on SPUF and offer to host events that are being floated around. I like doing this because events are a fun thing for the community to enjoy, but there’s a… [Continue Reading]

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!
