    14067004065_297633d128_bJoining 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.

    tf2cendvichThere’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.

    KK368_blogSo that’s both new maps and new weapons confirmed as coming with the “End of the Line” update. Although James McVinnie also made it clear that there would be no new voice lines recorded for his SFM lead update.

    Reddit and Tumblr will be facing off again in their 2nd annual (valve time) series of matches. You can put your name down to compete here.

    Finally! At least that’s what you’ll all be crying when you discover there’s every HUD under the sun available for download in this new site, TF2HUDs.net  made possible by  omnibombulator.

    Friend of the show and prolific artist, ProtoWilson, has been busy again making this amazingly lifelike celebration of all things dead the Voodoo Juju.

    Finally we take a look at the new guys of TF2 let’s plays, TFTools.

    It finally happened, the update we’ve been waiting for, no not end of the line, an update to our backpack and it’s interface. New crates with killstreak kits and chemistry sets. Plus strange weapons can now be placed on the market.

    Comic3 ImageTo wrap this altogether, we also have the latest issue of the comic series. Another great read, but suddenly it starts to tie all of the lore together in a way that only sir grey can understand. Plus we’ve been shown what valve are currently working on. We’re going to the moon guys, we’re going to the moon.

    We also experienced April fools day this week. Some great sites that played with April fools were scrapbook.tf, tf2outpost and tf2maps. Listen to the episode to see what they did.

    Elsewhere we found out about the promo item that comes with the 3A robot heavy figure, we talk about skial closing servers, extremely fast artwork based on the comic, plus more epic tf2 Lego.

    pyroJoining us this week is void. Not only is he a superb contributor to tf2, but he is also the mind behind the meet your makers event we ran this week, documenting how the workshop has changed the life’s of those now earning a living from it.

    Also featured this week, we talk about the ongoing issues with Mann up mode, plus we look at how people are using bots to game the workshop in dota 2…But does the same issue affect tf2’s workshop? Not to mention the discovery that the level of control while turning as a charging demoknight is actually effected by the FPS on your computer……..WHAT!?

    However is charity is your bag, then there are 2 charity events you want to look at. The first is a Montage of market gardener kills produced by MrMuselk in a bit to get over $1000 worth of donations. The second is Tip of the hat 2 which is on this weekend. Be sure to tune in for all the sweet content they have in store for you.

    Also on the show is this awesome minecraft pyro (above) and out video of the week, Shrink Ray.

    1451601_626834734051844_80109887_nNo update this week, not for the game anyway, but there is an update as to which NECA figure is next. It’s the smooth looking spy and the robust engineer. Both look like great additions to the collection and will be available from June.

    Following up from lasts week’s discussion of account hijacking and phishers, another high profile trader has been hacked (RandomBrother). Also HelenAngel has written a great guide to keeping yourself safe from these attacks.

    Over at TF2maps.net, they have finished the first stage (making a themed, balanced map) and have starting the 2nd stage of the mapping contest; making the maps aesthetically pleasing. While you’re clicking links here’s the HY:PE Train and our video of the week.

    Check out our KritzKast sub Reddit /r/KritzKast that received a huge life-pumping shock to the heart this week. We all hang out there and we’ll be looking out for your content to bring to the show.
