How do you follow 300? Why, with a super dooper pl_upward update (okay, it’s an extra stair) of course. In the same week that
TF2Maps.net launches the final voting on the Mercs vs Aliens Fubar launches his own mini map-pack. Muselk raised circa. $5K AUD for THP Australia.
In our new section Overwatch Watch: nothing happened last week, as confirmed on fan site Overwatch Universe.
Oh and Ruskey, if you want even more Medic Sloth, [S.T.A.R.S] TotoroTrash has you covered.
Overwatch could very well be an attempt by Blizzard to muscle in on TF2’s territory. We talk about its potential future impact on the game and the community.
Also this week; how Square Enix are out sourcing their promo items to the workshop. We’ve played Instant Muffins TF2Kart, a game mode in development before Halloween’s bumper cars. To round it off, there’s an 8inch 3A Ghost of Zepheniah Mann figure which you just can’t buy. Har Har!
If this is the first time you’ve listened to KritzKast, I feel I should apologise for the show name. It’s a gross misrepresentation of the content. No holes were destroyed in the making of this show. Although that may be a better explanation for Scream Fortress 6 [*shudders] than Valve came up with.
Along with the actual updates, and the gifts there’s been rampant speculation that we may be getting another WAR themed update. Soldier, jump in your cart, bring your rocket launcher and play some match making TF2.
The horror that was the NECA spy has been rather cleverly hidden with a paper mask.
TF2 hits over 100,000 concurrent players.
The HoUWaR creeps closer to becoming a reality. Valve makes $2m a year just from reselling keys. TF2 makes its way into CS:GO and Speedrunners.
BETALAN happened, as did the ETF2L & Teamfortress TV’s Highlander Invitational.
Look, Look. RD_Asteroid looks like a Moonbase. Looks like Team Moon takes the lead. But for how long? We talk about the changes to the map above and also the vote system created by this weeks update.
We also return to the comic like we promised. Sir grey is here to give his opinions on the story and the direction its moving. On top of that he also brings news of the most expensive trade topping out at close to $17,300. What did they trade. Listen in to find out.
PS, want to see a hidden spy…..we know how, but can valve stop it?
What do you call a mod made by Star? Why, Starmod of course! Just as you’d name doors that appear only big enough to fit little tiny pixie man, TF2 Fairy Doors.
End of the Line is ramping up the hype (again) with their EotL Tee and poster. Don’t Starve has an unused Pyro class, and Monopoly Fortress could be the next game to appear in WeLoveFine. Well it’s not, but how cool would that be?
Tempest is back! In other updates.. there’s been another update. Theoretically this makes macs more stable, you may disagree. There were another few changes to things like voting for alltalk and teambalance to be disabled. But the thing that’s big for us today is the 4th annual Saxxys. As with any event where there are winners and looses, we get deep into it.
Finally the 4th comic is out too.. huh, 4th Saxxys, 4th comic.. huh. Which is almost more than we are prepared to talk about the comic this week. Don’t worry, we’ll get to it.
There’s a completely legit Engineer wrench for sale at ThinkGeek.com. Lastly.. play along at home with Terrzyl’s KritzKast Bingo.
The 4th Annual Saxxys are on us again. The official blog brings to our attention a new TF2 mod, Respawn:Arena. There are updates a plenty with 9 new items, all part of the Limited Late Summer Pack. BETA Lan gets their own medal and Captain Canteen is finally killed off. Finally a fair favourite of Sir Grey, a small sculptured bust of a Spy. And yes, he has ordered one for himself.
This was recorded the week the 2014 Saxxys started accepting entries! The Horace hat is finally revealed in all its fury goodness. There’s been a boat load of updates (admittedly that’s true of every week recently). Battle Nations is a thing with TF2 in it and Alien: Isolation is a thing with its thing in TF2. The only thing better than Chris’s configs, it seems, are Rhapsody‘s. There’s hat related Flair for everyone in our reddit group, and then of course there’s the video of the week.
We are joined by Backpack.tf‘s creator Brad Pitt and their lead developer Fiskie to discuss such important issues as the latest TF2 update, Cranwell86’s worst ever trade and WeLoveFine’s recognition.
Did you know some of the Blind Box Merc’s are actually made of Australium? And are available in Europe now too? Binding of Isaac items have been sudo confirmed.
And lastly the cart can be moved, if incredibly slowly, when the other team is on it.
