    You’d think with just 2 hosts, We wouldn’t have a lot to talk about. But what actually happens is with out the other hosts to keep us on track, we can talk about whatever we want. it just so happens what we want to talk about it TF2. Lucky us. So we start by talking about how valve is reaching out to get hold of as many user-created halloween themed items ready for their upcoming halloween update. So if your an item creator, think haunting thoughts and get out there and make us some spooky items.

    However the big news this week is all the leagues starting up again. UGC have started their 8th Highlander season and also pushed season 10 of their 6v6 league. Over at Ozfortress, they have launched OWL (Oz Winter League) with cash prizes for not only the top 3 teams, but for any Prem team that wins a MAP. Over at ETF2L, they have just started the 13th 6v6 season. But more impressively, they have also found a way to sniff out hackers and cheaters once and for all.

    However if its SFM your more interested in, this week is critter week. What does that mean? it means that a large number of people are making short films based on the theme of “Critters”. Can anybody say headcrabs? However if your more interested in a Pick up group, then maybe you might want to take a look at the IRC Channel #TF2MIX. The idea is for even new players to be able to get into a pick up group and be part of the action.

    For all you Mann vs Machine server admins out there, Have you seen mvmwaves.com? its a website that lets you design your own custom waves of machines. Trust us when we say its awesome. Then lastly we talk about the first 10 games that have been greenlit…..or greenlighted, we still don’t know how to say it.

    Valve may be on holiday, But that doesn’t stop us. It sure as hell doesn’t stop the community. So instead of talking about all the updates that happened this week, We’ve brought Comedian from Vanilatf2 along for the ride. Our first stop was talking about how Guild Wars 2 has taken a leaf out of TF2’s book while creating it new classes. Besides crediting Arena-net for this choice, It also makes us realize how influential this 4 year old game still is.

    Coming from the video creating mind that are MisterMild and Maxofs2D, We have 2 videos that are simply must see. KIA a short film about the relationship the heavy and medic have. Plus the short, sweet and highly humorous Shakespearean Medic. Check them both out on our YouTube channel.

    While valve have been on the down low, The competitive side of TF2 has been roaring with excitement. As ETF2L’s Season 11 comes to a climactic final, their second highlander season kicks off. Now with bigger prizes (even for the viewers). Speaking of prizes, Angels cup, is offering not only €750 for the winners, But also $300 for the best bug report on the unfinished map CP_Croissant.

    To add to all that, we’ve got VanillaTV’s Frag movies of the month and the latest news about past and future KLOC events. Top that off with 3 discussion starting emails, suddenly a bland week in TF2, turns into a full week.

    This is the week that the unthinkable happened. Steam was compromised. The question rises, our are personal details still safe? We’ve looked into the details of the hack, How, when and why, to bring you as much information about it as we can. We’ll try our best to make you feel safe, but alas, only valve can be the ones to rest our minds fully. For more information please visit this thread.

    Luckily, the hack isn’t the only piece of news this week, or we would be crying all through the show. TF2 also got 3 new promo items directly from Saints row the third. Not to mention a few changes to make thing run smoother.

    Speaking of running smoother, the Beta also got a good fix this week. bringing it up to date with recently changes to the main game and also testing out new code that should make the game run smoother on older machines.

    But its not just valve that have been making heads lines this week. ETF2L started its highlander league and agro got to have a quick shoutcast. We also followed eXtine into a comic book store as he picked up the copy of “The Scarface” and had it signed by valve employees

    Plus this week was the week that teamfortress.tv launched, a new site showcasing some of the best live streams of Pro TF2 players…….and 1 fascinating TF2 podkast.

    Lastly, we couldn’t let the launch of Skyrim pass without mentioning this graphics comparison sent to us from a fan.
