An Addiction to the Jump Key

If you have been browsing the Daily SPUF for a while, you may have noticed that our chief editor hates anything to do with parkour, platforming and jumping puzzles. Before any sort of parkour can be done, there’s always some hesitation. After all, most games kill you if you fall into a pit. However, despite my uneasy parkour ‘skills’ (I am not skilled in any way), there’s something odd about how I play video games. I rarely have my feet firmly planted on the ground. In fact, when I move around, I probably jump too much. But why? Why am… [Continue Reading]

Meet the Medic is still the best Meet the Team short

May 21, 2022May 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments fun, lore, medic, meet the medic, Team Fortress 2

I actually was planning to write a different article today. I’ve got about 40 different articles that I have started. And by ‘started’ I mean I wrote a couple of sentences and then not done anything else. It happens a lot, the brain writes what the brain wants. Today’s article now is something completely different. How I got from complaining to Destiny 2’s jump mechanics to watching Meet the Medic for the umpteenth time, I have no idea. But here I am, writing about Meet the Medic anyway. Mostly because I’ve re-watched it like 6-7 times now, always spotting little… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Bullet Hoses

November 15, 2021November 10, 2021 Medic 0 Comments bullet hose, destiny 2, heavy, Team Fortress 2, warframe, weapon

I love a good bullet hose. A gun with a massive clip that shoots a torrent of bullets has always appealed to me. Said shower of bullets allows me to kill enemies I’d normally miss, and I can mow down common trash mobs with ease. A ‘Bullet Hose’ is a perfect name for any sort of gun that spews lead all over the place. Here are my favourite bullet hoses. Sweet Business Starting with Destiny 2, we have the Sweet Business. There are actually a few bullet hoses in Destiny 2, basically the Auto Rifle class of guns. A lot… [Continue Reading]

5 Cute Snakes in Valve Games

The TF2 community has been going cuckoo over the adorable new snakes Valve added to cp_snakewater. From memes to fanart to YouTube videos, these slithery low-poly serpents are recieving a king’s welcome from the update-starved community. And I absolutely can’t blame them, I’ve already asked my boyfriend to make me a plush. But the Snakewater snakes aren’t the only lovable vipers hidden within Valve’s game catalogue. 1. Sally the Safety Serpent The ctf_2fort_invasion map is a treasure trove of easter eggs. Especially in the fan-submitted posters on the walls. My favorite one stars Sally reminding players of the six S’s… [Continue Reading]

An Assortment of Things I Hate in the Team Fortress 2 Comic Series

September 22, 2021September 13, 2021 Medic 0 Comments comic, lore, Team Fortress 2

So, the other day, I was discussing Team Fortress 2 lore with a friend. Together, we thought about lots of cool ideas. In fact, at some point, we are considering working together to re-write our own version of the Team Fortress 7-part series. But while we chatted, a lot of things came to my mind. While I do love the TF2 comics, there are a handful of things that really piss me off. In this article, I am not going to use spoilers. The last issue of the TF2 comic series came out over 4 years ago. Why did TFC… [Continue Reading]

5 Weird and Rare Things in my Team Fortress 2 Inventory

It’s been ages since I last looked at my Team Fortress 2 inventory. But I was spurred into having a look again after doing a commission for a friend. They wanted to pay in TF2 keys. Sounds strange, but it’s more fun than paying via Paypal or whatever. Either way, I was reminded of all the weird stuff I have in my backpack. Turns out, I have a LOT of weird stuff. An un-craftable Vita-Saw We’re going to start off cheap here. At first glance, an un-craftable Vita-Saw doesn’t seem that interesting. However, most un-craftable weapons are technically unique, because… [Continue Reading]

Sticky Jumper vs Machine

September 16, 2021September 15, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments demoman, mann vs machine, MvM, playstyle, sticky jumper, Team Fortress 2

Happy Jump Day! Every 16th of September, The Daily SPUF celebrates Jump Day to remember the poor Sticky Jumper who lost its 3rd-8th bombs on this fateful date in 2013. As I’ve mentioned in numerous articles before, the Sticky Jumper is one of my favorite weapons. I will forever defend it as a perfectly valid playstyle in TF2. But even I didn’t think that versatility was good enough to qualify for anything beyond meme status in Mann Vs Machine! But after seeing it listed as “Usable” in this thread and this comment I decided to give it a try. I… [Continue Reading]

A Medic Appreciation Post

September 3, 2021August 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments healing, medic, overwatch, Team Fortress 2

It’s been ages since I last played Team Fortress 2. Lately, I haven’t had the appetite to play a PvP shooter game. Between the randomness, the crits and the bots, Team Fortress 2 is kinda unfriendly these days. But there’s still always something that just amazes me about Team Fortress 2, even if I no longer play it. Today, we are going to appreciate the Medic from Team Fortress 2. A character that I literally named myself after. One of the best healers, ever. Years back, a League of Legends developer complained that making health numbers go up was boring.… [Continue Reading]

On Being Genuinely Bad at Team Fortress 2

June 22, 2021June 15, 2021 Medic 0 Comments Team Fortress 2

I never considered myself great at Team Fortress 2. Granted, I knew a lot about the game, and I was a half-decent player. But I was never great. That being said, I could at least hold my own. At the very least, while I may have struggled with pure aiming skill, I did my best to make up for it. Over the years, I learned about a lot of other stuff. From the damage that weapons dealt, to each class’s movement speeds, to being better at dodging. My head was filled with Team Fortress 2 trivia. Sure, I was never… [Continue Reading]

I made a Scream Fortress 12 Update Page and don’t know what to do with it.

October 9, 2020October 4, 2020 Medic 0 Comments halloween, scream fortress, Team Fortress 2

So, uh, yeah. Team Fortress 2 had an update. I haven’t actually opened Team Fortress 2 to see what it was, but it’s here. In fact, it’s the Scream Fortress update. Weirdly though, the Scream Fortress update came insanely early this year. Normally it’s the middle of the month, stretching into the first week of November. This year though? Literally an entire month and then some! What’s actually in this update though? Oh, nothing much, just your standard Scream Fortress update. No fun update page like in the past. A bunch of cosmetics and war paints. Some new Halloween-only unusual… [Continue Reading]
