It would have been easier to walk. Valve wish us to celebrate a free to play game, CrimeCraft by offering up Texas Half-Pants and a Bolt Action Blitzer if you manage to survive 6 levels of this uninspired game. Strange parts become removable and we mourn the loss of the dispenser’s ability to retain your overheal. The engie-nurf continues with buildings now granting medics charge is destroyed with their Übersaw. At least the engie gets to wear the Teufort Tooth Kicker if you really want to cowboy him up.

    Currently unobtainable, the Mysterious Promo 2 bundle, containing only the Flare Gun is added. What can that be? If you don’t know, you’re in good company.

    Wireplay drop their long running 6v6 tournament in favour of a Highlander league. Their last season of 6v6 was plagued with team drop outs. Lets hope this new direction pays dividends for them. KritzKast Distinguished Ducks have signed up already.

    To top it all off we have your emails and a couple of movies from the best of the best in 6v6 TF2, Epsilon Esports and coverage of i43.

    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.
