There’s a very international feeling to this week’s episode. We use En Ex from the TF2 wiki as a human shield against the Chinese TF2 rip-off, Final Combat. All the while those crazy Australians are capping for a cause. The Germans are releasing a huge update to GangGarrison2 and a there’s an entire world of maps under examination. Oh, and the blog is covered in dove poop, how very American.

Due to popular demand we’re not going to be singing this week. Instead this episode is overflowing with information, you can’t have caught it all. Hidden items in Valve’s updates. A secret mixup match with Robin Walker, KritzKast and some of the best and luckiest TF2 players in the world. A mountain of promo items added to the game. The final voting on the Saxxy awards and the joining of TF2TV and VanillaTF2. If you still think you know about all of that, then you certainly won’t know about KritzKast’s “something Big” on its way. You’ll only hear about that here in episode 120.

This week, all we seem to be talking about is integration. How you tube is now integrated into steam and how that effects the saxxy awards. not to mention we can finally see steam integrated into the PS3. We talk with hideous who has had his hat models integrated into the game. Plus we let you know about pubcomp who want to integrate pub and pro players. wow, that’s a lot of integration. Most people would stop there, but not us. We even managed to integrate all your emails into the show too (many of which are about integration in TF2 itself).

Jeff eXtine of eXtelevision joins us as a guest host. With his expert guidance we work our way through the murky underbelly of US competitive play and into the redeeming arms of the heavy at the last sandvich supper. The biggest topic this week is the new replay service and the myriad of ways to win a Saxxy. eXtine and Postman Pat are both accomplished cinematographers in their own fields so you’d do well to listen to their advice.

Ah, Spring is in the air but it’s not all giant candy and bunny rabbits. This sunny weather also brings us men willing to slash down from their mighty steeds then cover those bloody head wounds with lovely hats. This would be enough to please us but the chance of discovering a secret stash of goodies is just too tempting. It may be fate that the group responsible for translating Steam into several languages (including Pirate) are to be blamed for uncovering the booty we pass on to you.

This week we have videos, fixes, betrayal and hats but it would be impossible have a show without mentioning Portal 2. Even at KritzKast, the home of TF2 podcasting, we’ve found ourselves reaching for our twin portal launcher more than once. Thankfully there is still some part of us that remains true to the fortress.

It finally happened. the first update to TF2 that didn’t involve some variety of head garment. So what do we get in exchange for the lack of hats. I’ll tell you, Mountains of new functionality, Features from the Beta and balances to newish weapons. But thats not all, We’ve got portal 2 stuff, CommFT stuff and an interview with robin walker to talk about. All this and we still make time to chat with you guys via email.
