A week before recording this, Valve Software released a software development kit specifically targeted towards Team Fortress 2 modders. This update gives permission to developers to create their own versions of TF2 and then to release them on Steam. Immediately making them available to a potential audience of millions us gamers.

Unsurprisingly this has lit a rocket under various modding teams who, before this had been locked out of doing anything remotely approved of with their hard work. Taking the chance to find out exactly what this means for one modding group I sat down with Sour Dani and FarLander of Pre-Fortress 2.

What do you do when you can’t pick a video of the week. You get 3 videos of the week. Thats right, this week we have 3 videos that are required viewing. The first is a TF2 take on lion kings “Be Prepared” made by KungfuBellyDancer. The second is a mock up of a super smash bros game….but with valve characters made by CrazyHalo. Then there is Rappy ‘n’ Demo. Impressive, if for nothing more than its 26 minute run time, but if your easily confused this may not be for you.

June 27th. Mark that date as the start of the next 72hour mapping contest. The theme is yet to be announced, But we’ve been informed its worth waiting for. Looking forward to EOTL? You may be impressed by the progress made and how it differs from the original trailer we once saw. Also out this week is the continuation of the moments of glory montages. watch the best of the best from clip #200-#300

Also, props to Pip for adding Lo-Fi’s to the KK subreddit

This week we disprove that old adage, “two items added to the UGC Higlander whitelist does not a podcast make.”

Also worthy of note is that they defiantly haven’t been testing the End of the Line map.

Exclusive to KritzKast, FRaGiMuS_MaX reveals part 1 of his 6 year effort to bring his Team Fortress Universe to life.

Sin has his own Sunday production now, though there’s some descorde between presenters as to whether this constitutes content or just more of the same from him. And lastly Babies. Need I say more? No.

It seems fitting that in a week were only the things were changed in the updates we have only three hosts to share them with you. Tempest, Chronos and Agro; far from TF2 n00bs themselves share this distinctly n00bish flavoured show. Starting with the next of the Valve “bi-monthly” comics. This of course came out a month from the last one, just in time for free comic book day. Now that everyone is up to speed on the comic books it’s time to bring your friends up to speed on the game itself thanks to DYKGaming. When your friends know everything, but are woefully lacking in experience enter them in the Highlander Open. You final mission is to sit everyone down, even you, in front of Muselk’s Mythbusters videos to complete your understanding of TF2.

Joining us on the show this week we have Zemnmez, the second person to get a unusual hat given to him by valve because he found security loopholes in steam. He joins us this week as another unusual has been given out that has caused a bit of a ruckus. Exploits all round as we discuss what they did to earn said hat and also an exploit you can try at home.

With very little else this week, we discuss the minor changes in the latest update (unless your Australian, in which case,they are,minor changes). We also show you a hud in development and the latest news on the end of the line.

There’s a new generation on the horizon. TF2lobby has been usurped by TF2Center, we are joined by Foxy and Mastern00b to help explain the reason for their site.

Steam have been attracting attention recently. Steam Guard was broken and it looks like the controller for their Steam Machine will be out in Fall (Valve time). An exploit for using the Giftapult as a key was found and reported in.  In other Valve news; the 3A Sandvich is back in stock and we have new ETF2L medals.

There’s a new version of Prophunt to look out for. Wolfenstein has some pre-release promo items, Die Regime-Panzerung and Der Maschinensoldaten-Helm. Finally here’s an April Fool’s joke you may have missed, the Bush Belly.
