Can you believe it, we’re at episode four hundred already? Why it seems like only eight years, two months and seventeen days since I was but a wee sprog thinking about the very possibility of spending every weekend between then and now recording a podcast about a game that, in all sincerity, I’m not all that good at. How time flies. But here we are, eight years, two months and seventeen days (give or take a few years) later enjoying our fireside chat. This week we are doubly lucky. Not only do we get to spend some time with the facestabbingly wonderful ArraySeven, but we also release on YouTube. Hazzah!

I’m reliably informed that Lucario is a character from Pokémon. Something that you too may need to know one day so as not to be ostracised by the other people on your podcast. I speak from experience here, as Lucario and Ryan (who may also be a Pokémon for all I know) join us from Gameshock servers to talk about community TF2 and what it takes to make it in a world that Valve seem to have sewn up for themselves. It’s celebrity endorsement btw, I’m not going to clickbait it for you.

Teaming up with Teemo and Ranch was possibly the best thing I’ve ever done. Okay, second best maybe… wait, there was that one time in Coventry. Hmm, well it was a good time at least. Two of the pleasantest people in TF2 at the moment. This is a super long show though, which can’t really be helped since even after I’d cut half of it out there were some things I figured you’d not mind me leaving in. If it helps we did player of the week in the middle and spent the rest of the time wallowing in these dude minds. Mmm, moist.

This is the best time of the year. Especially if you live in a dwelling with the ghost of your former flatmate, haunting your every waking thought. Or if you like candy. Or both. I don’t think these activities are mutually exclusive. Speaking of exclusives, Jewlander returns to us from his hidden lair, under the stairs, firing flares, in his underwear. Not into his underwear. We’re not judging, but we’re pretty sure that would hurt and might be fatal. We should know; we’ve lost one flatmate that way already!

All I can think of saying is that I’m glad we don’t post pictures on the show notes anymore. Why is that anyway? I should have asked Chronos and Uberchain since they were on this show this week, but what with Vanilla.tf, SEA Jumping and Mr Slin’s Essay I clear forgot.

Sleepingbear and CriticalFlaw are on this week. They give us the low down on some resin medals, find pumpkins in the TotH medals and explain the flaw in Washington State’s plan. I hear Sleepingbear is also pretty good at the trading too. You’d have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over those eyes. Or you could just pass him a heavy sheep while he is yawning.

We’ve mentioned Omnibombulator and Wiethoofd many times on this show. The later has even been on; the former we could never seem to find. It turns out he was hiding in plain sight, in a small red car, wheeling around dustbowl. Who knew?
