Cosmetic Items, and why I love them

February 10, 2015 Foxzet 0 Comments Cosmetic, cosmetic items, cosmetics, items, miscellaneous items, Miscs, Team Fortress 2, trading

If there is anything Team Fortress 2 is known for, aside from it’s wacky cartoony graphics and colorful cast of characters, it’s Hats. The amount of cosmetic items in this game is somewhat ridiculous: It’s easily in the hundreds, maybe soon approaching thousands, which is why hats are a common subject of jokes when it comes to TF2. And a lot of people have gotten sick of hats as of late: It seems every even slightly major update includes dozens of hats, but only like 3 new weapons and maybe 1 or 2 new maps. Where do I stand in… [Continue Reading]

Holy Grappling Hook, Fatman!

January 30, 2015 Foxzet 0 Comments cp_gorge, gorge, grappling hook, heavy, holiday punch, mannpower, pootis, shotgun, smissmas, Team Fortress 2

So, Smissmas came and went, and in my honest opinion, I thought it was a bit of a disappointment, to put it politely. The new weapons were meh, the Festive weapons(aside from Bonk and Shotgun) sucked and we only got 7 of them, most of the cosmetics weren’t really that interesting, and they nerfed the Tide Turner. Say what you want about End of the Line, but at least it didn’t ruin a well-established weapon. Oh, and we also got Mannpower, perhaps the most casual gamemode in existence despite nocrits. The powerups are so overpowered it’s ridiculous, not to mention… [Continue Reading]

January 26, 2015 Medic 0 Comments gmod, mourning, Team Fortress 2, video

Today has been a bad week for, well, everyone, particularly the GMOD and TF2 communities. kitty0706, esteemed Garry’s Mod and TF2 video maker, most famous for Team Fabulous 2, has passed away. According to Facepunch and later on Reddit, Colin Wyckoff (Kitty0706) passed away on 25th January 2015, after a long struggle against Leukemia. According to those who knew him, he was always upbeat and optimistic. May he rest in peace, free from pain. The rest of this video will be dedicated to some of kitty0706’s best videos. Coherent GMOD animation takes skill, no matter what people say. Be right back,… [Continue Reading]

Excuse My French

November 18, 2014 Dekky 2 Comments cool, demopan, french, loadouts, Team Fortress 2

Oui oui, I love the things Frenches. It’s a lovely language sophisticated: more good anyway than the English. Today I would want to show you several of the consequences interestings of playing at TF2 with the mode French. I am fascinated in the way which Valve have translated certains objects and I hope that you want to see the differences between the games French and English. (Basically, here are some screenshots of my loadouts with cool Frenchie names. Shall we check ’em out?) Since many of the weapons in TF2 are named after phrases associated with the characters, their names… [Continue Reading]

Updates, glorious updates!

November 6, 2014 Dekky 0 Comments scream fortress, Team Fortress 2, tomb raider, updates

Earlier this week another TF2 update was released. I’m gonna get right to the point, that is, what they did to the Carnival of Carnage map: That’s a screenshot from the Steam news feed, by the way. If you’ve read through it, you should be able to see why I’m so excited. The only two things I found wrong with this event map – Engineers dominating everybody from behind a map, and being shot by a Sentry while fixed by Merasmus’ curse – HAVE BEEN FIXED! I always loved this year’s Scream Fortress event, as you may have gathered from my… [Continue Reading]

Your Eternal Frustration

September 8, 2014 Dekky 0 Comments disguise, knife, spy, Team Fortress 2

A couple of weeks ago I realized my inventory had filled up with duplicates. I seemed to have three of every weapon I didn’t like and none of the weapons I was really keen on. So I had a look at Crafting blueprints on the Wiki. My Spy loadout was looking a bit bland and I wanted to try out a new knife. So the first new thing I crafted was Your Eternal Reward. What a mistake. To craft this knife you need to mix Reclaimed Metal with the Cloak and Dagger. Alrighty, I had three of those watches and… [Continue Reading]

Mod Showcase: Project Ghost

August 31, 2014 brickinator 0 Comments custom, game, ghost, mod, mode, random, rope, showcase, Team Fortress 2, tight, tightrope

Welcome back to Mod Showcase. Brickinator again, here to chat about Project Ghost, a fairly new mod gamemode that’s part of the TF2 Tightrope community. Project Ghost draws many parallels with ghost-hunting TV shows; there’s lots of people in a cramped area, constant screaming and a complete lack of ghosts. Why the hell they chose the name ‘Project Ghost’ is beyond me. In fact, I haven’t got a ghost of a clue why they chose it! Comedy gold. Project Ghost is a plugin for Arena mode. Remember Arena mode? Me neither. At the start of each new round, the game… [Continue Reading]

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]

Finally, TF2 has gone mobile!

August 23, 2014 Varun_5 2 Comments android, iphone, mobile, Steam Group, Team Fortress 2

Howdy guys! My name is Varun Iyer, and I’d like to share with you guys a mobile app that I specifically designed for TF2 Players. Well, first of all I’d like to say that this was a project I started recently because I noticed that TF2 wasn’t going mobile. Specifically, features that many people use, such as trading, viewing their backpack, and price-lists for buying and selling items wasn’t available on mobile devices. People had to rely on their, bulky, fat (no offense) laptops to simply know whether they got the widowmaker they were trading for. Well, I can tell… [Continue Reading]
