What is your favorite thread in all of SPUF’s history?

August 29, 2014 hugthebed2 0 Comments fun, history, SPUF

Medic: See, that’s the thing, I have a crap memory and I can never remember the name of threads that I really enjoyed. The itsurblog threads have always vastly entertained me but quite often, I’ll only catch the tail end of fantastic threads. I suppose the Uprising thread in the Medic subforum has always amused me. It’s good to see a bunch of Medics all working together for a common cause rather than arguing over the Quick Fix. aabicus: Oh man, I’ve got some. Most of them are name-dropped in this thread or that one, but one that isn’t is… [Continue Reading]

Phlogisticast Episode 5

August 25, 2014 Medic 0 Comments class, fun, pyro, SPUF

Hey look! A SPUF-related pod cast that has lasted more than a couple of episodes! Yes, really. Seriously. Anyway, the Phlogisticast has got its 5th episode out. In it, Dekky, Thunder and I talk about goodness knows what, mostly Pyro stuff. There’s also some really awful French accents, a chat with a real life Pyro and discussions about the normal Pyro stuff. On top of that, there are plenty of tips for playing Pyro. And on top of ALL of that, we discuss Black Mesa. Yay! You want to listen? Click here! Please excuse the fact that Dekky believed the… [Continue Reading]

Happy birthday, Team Fortress!

August 24, 2014 Medic 0 Comments event, fun, Team Fortress 2, TFC

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]

Phlog Updates: The Builder, the Sharpshooter and the Filmmaker

August 22, 2014 Dekky 0 Comments fun, sniper, strategy, weapon

Everything is now back on track with the PhlogistiCast, our new YouTube show tasked with educating players of TF2! Episodes 3 and 4 have recently been released, with our first News Network video uploaded today. In Episode 3 we got Sn8wman on board to talk about the Engineer in all his glory. There was much laughter, cosmetic talk and gnashing of Pomson-rusted teeth. We also discussed the beta maps, Asteroid and Cactus Canyon, finishing with a few notes on low-gravity gameplay. Episode 4 was the first without Nommy around, but I managed to find just the chap to keep things… [Continue Reading]

Questions to the Editors

Why do you do this blog?

August 18, 2014 Medic 0 Comments ask aaby, fun

Not being mean. Just want to know why do you do this blog? What made you start? What keeps you going? Question directed at entire Daily SPUF “staff” and regulars. Medic: I have no idea! No, seriously, I don’t. Aabicus just asked me if I wanted to write stuff, I said yes and it all went up/downhill from there. Now I’m technically in charge of this, although neither of us seem to know who’s the editor and who’s the editor in chief and who’s the person making the tea and coffee. Aabicus says it’s me but I don’t believe him.… [Continue Reading]

What’s that? A new blog post?

August 15, 2014 Medic 0 Comments fun, recap, update

Normally, most blog posts asking people to do things with or for Valve generally require a little know-how. Some elbow grease. A bit of effort. That sort of thing. Then again, generally, Valve like to ask us to make cosmetic items which they can sell and you get some profit from if you’re one of the select few who manage to get chosen and all that. Let’s just say, the chances are slim. But after today’s blog post, we’ve got something different. Merchandise. T-Shirts. Posters. Stuff like that. From the blog post, it seems that it’s just t-shirts and posters… [Continue Reading]

The Changing and the End of Stuff

August 8, 2014 Medic 0 Comments Filler, fun, request

Hello, my fellow mercenaries! Today, I’m just going to mention a few bits and pieces. I love reading articles from you lot, and I love receiving them. Problem is, I can’t always tell if they’re finished and ready to be published or not. I have a bit of a weird organisation system, in which any articles that are 100% ready to publish, I leave in the Pending section and everything else gets thrown into Drafts. I generally have to edit most articles before they’re finished anyway, since a few of you forget to set your categories or don’t add any… [Continue Reading]

“I AM BULLETPROOF!!”

August 7, 2014 Dekky 0 Comments fun, heavy, minigun, pwnage, Team Fortress 2

Misha the Heavy Weapons Guy gets a lot of bad press. Especially on this blog. I’ve seen articles trashing him and saying he’s failed as a class in TF2. They point out that, compared to classes like the Soldier, he has less weapons to choose from and few reliable ways to cover his main weakness, lack of speed. They say he’s boring to play and requires almost no skill. Poor Heavy has been hit hard by such critics. But slow down, all you Jarate-throwing Huntsman Snipers! No class in this game is a “failure.” The point of Team Fortress 2… [Continue Reading]

Overflowing Into Other Games

August 6, 2014 Medic 0 Comments criticism, fun

Most people who consider themselves gamers will probably 1. be fairly good at video games, 2. play lots of video games and 3. be able to adapt more quickly when they switch from game to game. I’m not one of those people. I struggle my way through games, almost always playing on Easy the first time through. I slither my way awkwardly into the Player Vs Player aspects of games and sneak around like a BLU Spy trapped in the depths of a heavily guarded RED base. You’ve heard me say this a billion times before: I am shit at… [Continue Reading]
