SPUF – Page 4 – The Daily SPUF

A Solution to SPUF’s Gateway Errors

December 31, 2015 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, glitches, SPUF

For the last few days, SPUFers have noticed that it’s almost impossible to view SPUF threads. The main page loads slowly enough, as do miscellaneous pages like User CP, but clicking on actual threads often just leads to this after ten minutes of loading: SPUFers, not letting something silly like a lack of actual threads stop them, proceeded to carry on conversations via thread previews and puzzling out why new threads occasionally work for a little bit before succumbing to the 503s. Gyoku was the first to sum up the problem in a way the rest of us could read: As soon… [Continue Reading]

The 25th

December 25, 2015 Medic 0 Comments festive, happy holidays, love, SPUF

Hello, this is the Daily SPUF I hope you’re getting all enough of super duper Christmas presents, but that is not all Christmas’ essence. Because it’s that time of the year, where we gift those that we hold dear. And cause we keep that meaning true, we wrote this nice poem for you. For that you have a merry Christmas, and leave some milk and plenty biscuits, for aaby to eat and eat and cheer, so that he must lose weight next year! -InstantMuffin Not really got much to say. I know this is mostly a Christian thing, with other… [Continue Reading]

MvM at Odoroki’s place

August 17, 2015 Medic 0 Comments giant robots!, MvM, odoroki, SPUF

“Hey, Medic? Wanna play MvM?” Every Sunday, I get sent this message. It’s generally from Odoroki. If I don’t reply, there’s often a follow up message from Reima. They send me a request to join their game. Clicking on that request is a scary thing to do. Very scary. You never know what’s going to happen. All you know is that the game mode will be MvM. Somewhat. You see, Odoroki has his own little server. On it, he does a lot of strange things. Then he invites poor saps like me to test them. And Reima tries to record… [Continue Reading]

Damn I am good at SFM

July 21, 2015 sham1 0 Comments semi-tf2, SFM, sham1, SPUF

Now that I am over praising myself, I want to talk about what I can and cannot do with Valve’s Source Filmmaker. You’ve probably seen some of my SFM posters if you have been reading any of my blog posts not counting the Tetris one. I also sometimes post them into other threads but I usually post them into the Daily SPUF thread to keep it up-float. Here is a link to Imgur where I have most of my pictures. Also, below are some of my more recent ones as of writing this. Now, what I am not so good… [Continue Reading]

Arena Respawn – Not at all serious fun

July 12, 2015 Medic 0 Comments analysis, arena, arena respawn, event, fun, SPUF

On Saturday 11th of July, Confusion hosted the SPUF Arena Respawn event with some help from Sham and Davjo and I got to try out Arena Respawn for the first time. Now, I’m a bit of a purist, I like things unmodded in TF2. Plus, Arena was my original game mode after 24/7 Junction, and I was quite good at it, particularly the Arena-only maps that no one else really plays. Not great, since I’ve always been bad at Deathmatching, but I’ve played safe and strategically and also know when to go “who gives a fuck”. So let’s have a… [Continue Reading]

On Reputation

July 9, 2015 Medic 0 Comments criticism, forum, reddit, SCUD, SPUF

SPUF is what one would call a forum or a bulletin board. Steam Community User Discussions (SCUD) is less of a bulletin board, more of a discussion board – it is a very trimmed down version of your standard forum software. Reddit is, well, um, something else. A strange, messy thing that has really taken off. Then you have a combination of the two, a bit like the League of Legends ‘boards’. Many forums just have basic features. You can make a thread. You can reply to threads. If you’re lucky there’s a personal message system. Some allow you to… [Continue Reading]

Please do something.

June 30, 2015 Medic 0 Comments fun, please do something, SPUF, thread, update

Maybe I am taking this a bit too far. Maybe. *Sniff.* Maybe. But I’ve yet to see someone who can outsmart bullet any real progress this year. The only thing of note so far is the Workshop Beta, but that’s peppered with holes and stuff. It’s also like 5 years too late, TF2Maps and Gamebanana have been helping us fine good and bad maps since TF2’s birth. And let’s not get started on Quickplay. Then there’s Mannpower, which was introduced, got some balance patches then got ignored. Before that there was End of the Line, which was probably the first… [Continue Reading]

Daily SPUF’s FAQ Page is Confirmed Gay

June 25, 2015September 14, 2016 Medic 0 Comments comics, fun, joke, miss pauling, SPUF, story

Written by aabicus while the Log In Via Steam button is borked. In light of the recent reveal that Miss Pauling is gay, we here at the Daily SPUF thought the time has never been better to make a sobering announcement about a page that we all know and love. Yes. Our Frequently Asked Questions page, viewable here, is gay. We’ve never called it out. None of our readers have ever expressed an interest in knowing, or even reading it, because it’s a horribly outdated page I dashed out back when we were still a buggy mess on Blog.com and… [Continue Reading]

It’s not just about adding new content

June 16, 2015 Medic 0 Comments analysis, complaint, criticism, moan, SPUF

Let’s face it, we’re still in a giant content drought. Literally nothing has happened to TF2 that’s even worth talking about. That’s why you’ve seen so much non-TF2 stuff here lately. It’s why people like Star_ are moving away and making videos about other things. While competitive TF2 is still there, it’s not really going anywhere special. Modding and SFM communities still exist, but there’s little else going on. Smaller TF2 communities are lagging behind, while larger ones like Reddit and SCUD are filled with nothing more than memes, chatter and balance for the lowest common denominator. It’s reached a… [Continue Reading]

SPUF does Competitive – 6v6 Week 1

June 5, 2015 Medic 0 Comments 6v6, competitive, fun, match, SPUF

Oh look, a new series of stuff! Yes, Confusion, Keith, Sham and I have been plotting something behind everyone’s back. Yes, we formed a 6v6 SPUF team. With Davjo (who you may or may not remember) and Wolk (who you definitely don’t know unless you’re Keith). I know, crazy, right? But we’re all totally game for this. We’re playing in EU Steel. Confusion had originally opted for Silver, I suggested Iron, we met in the middle. He didn’t want to have to deal with 1. rude Iron players and 2. Timmy, so he created the team. We’re SPUF EU, or… [Continue Reading]
