Very Festive SPUF Event

December 21, 2014 Medic 1 Comment event, fun, Highlander, smissmas, snow

After EotL, everyone was very depressed. So I, sensing an opportunity to make people feel better, conjured up a little event. The premise was simple. A normal Highlander match with an extra Demoknight (can’t leave out those Demoknights!), while wearing your festive items. And hopefully, the Winter Noisemaker. The map rotation was simple: Winter TF2 maps only. You can’t have a Smissmas party on Dustbowl now, can you? Although the game started late, as we tried to sorted out players and stuff, but we managed to get some wonderful people from the Fast Company regulars to fill any slots and… [Continue Reading]

A Pyro Story

December 19, 2014 Medic 0 Comments fun, pyro, story

He admired their tenacity. They were all down there, planning an attack on the newly recaptured Foundry. Again. They were gathered around the table, pointing at a map, drawing lines and suggesting ideas. All nine of them. Their Spy had gathered the intelligence. Stolen it from under the noses of his own team. He’d seemed to have recovered well from being shot in the face by his team mates. Pyro knew though that deep down, the silly little Frenchman was bitter. And why shouldn’t he be bitter? After all, he was ever so cruelly tricked. The information had been pieced… [Continue Reading]

Holiday Shopping: Steam Gifts For All

December 18, 2014 SparkeeLecaro 0 Comments fun, gift, holiday, recommendation, trading

It’s that time of the year again, and you know what that means! That’s right; unfavorable weather, repetitive songs on the radio, and a solid financial hit just waiting to happen. Let me tell you: I am broke. I’m so broke, I could no longer afford to pay for the moth that used to hang out in my wallet and comically float out every time I opened it to show people just how broke I was. Hell, I had to cut my weekly trip to buy groceries so I could pay for Christmas presents. But through it all, being completely… [Continue Reading]

Coordinating Anger

December 16, 2014 Medic 0 Comments event, fun, happy

Good day, everyone! Just thought I’d write a little something to try and calm down and reach out to you all. Alright, the End of the Line update was meh. Apart from the short, it was the same old stuff that you’d expect from any minor patch which introduces a new crate. We got a bunch of cosmetics, a multi-class melee reskin that’s similar in size and shape to the Conscientious Objector minus the need for a decal tool and a pay-to-stat duck thing. Also a couple of maps got vandalized by Pyro. It was a lackluster update that wasn’t… [Continue Reading]

Art Time with Medic – How to make a clay Medi Gun

November 26, 2014 Medic 1 Comment art, fun, medic

Why clay? Because I have lots of clay right now. I recommend Paper Clay (I use a combination of FIMO paper clay and cheap paper clay from Thailand that I got in the nearest toystore). This isn’t too hard, but it does require patience as clay is a pain in the ass at times. You will need: Paper Clay – Depends on the size, I got my 500g block for €1.50. That should be plenty for anything small-scale. Modelling tools – Cheap plastic ones are perfectly fine. Something sharp – A box cutter is good, because we’ll need straight lines.… [Continue Reading]

Demoknights VS Highlanders – The Results!

November 23, 2014 Medic 0 Comments demoknight, demoman, event, fun, Highlander

When they said “Demoknight” they didn’t mean what I saw in tonight’s Demoknights VS Highlanders match. Demoknight implies some bastard Demoman using the Booties, the Targe and one of the swords. Demoknight implies Sword-using-moron. No, what I saw tonight was NOTHING BUT GRENADES WHICH BLOCKED OUT THE SUN. Hybrid Demoknights VS Highlander was even more hell than Gunslingers VS Highlanders when it came to spam. At any one time, there were as many as 36 grenades at once, all flying towards the hapless Highlanders. Originally, I hadn’t planned to play in the Demoknight VS Highlander match, but a lack of players… [Continue Reading]

Sniper’s Parental Predicament

November 20, 2014 Medic 0 Comments fun, medic, sniper, spy, story, strategy

Note: The following story is set in the past, back when Sniper’s foster parental units were still alive and kicking and living in a nice house in the middle of nowhere with a purple dog and a talking computer. Then that TF2 comic happened and everything changed. But this story still makes sense as long as you set it before the time the TF2 comics are set in.

Poker Night At Teufort

November 19, 2014 Medic 0 Comments economy, Filler, fun, game mode, theory

Poker Night at the Inventory was a great game, wasn’t it? Well, I liked it. I never got around to winning the achievement items, because I lose concentration on a game really quickly if it isn’t Garry’s Mod these days, but it was fun. The best bit was the dialogue. The conversation the other players, in this case Max, Strong Bad, Heavy and whatshisname all chatting away, talking about their day to day lives, sometimes throwing in the odd joke or random bit of nonsense as they go along. Lovely, right? Unfortunately, I never got around to getting the second… [Continue Reading]

Bumper Cars and You!

November 1, 2014 aabicus 0 Comments fun, glitches, halloween, strategy

The new Halloween map has decidedly one of the funnest post-game grudge-matches ever. Learning from their mistakes with hell from last year, Valve has taken the concepts and turned them into two very fun mini-games and one which will probably get more fun once Valve finds a way to stop perpetual stalemates on the 9-Square grid. The Doomsday_event bumper cars are not exactly the most strategy-laden game modes TF2 has to offer but there are still some strategies quick-witted players can use to give themselves the edge. To wit: 1) Bind a key to suicide. The second you’re about to… [Continue Reading]
