    Camera7Multiplay’s Insomnia events earn their name. i49 has left us all in need of a damn good sleep.

    As always we celebrated the event with a special episode featuring some of the stars of the show. Our editing space was given to us by our friends over at UKCS.

    We have to thank the newest additions to our team, Comedian and Skyride who produced some of the best coverage including the epic “Land of the Brave” ad-hoc chroma-key video. Also joining us was Helene from Gamers United.

    Camera1As well as the usual cast we had some random guests (including but not limited to): The Heartsman; Chaplain, KnOxXx and Numlocked from Epsilon eSports; Lange from teamfortress.tv; Tapley; Arx and Beta from vanillatv; a couple of random Aussie tourists (who were carrying the legendary Haribo); wm from ozfortressaccless the demon artist.

    You get the idea. If we’ve missed anyone let us know in the comments and we’ll add to the list. Suffice to say we had an awesome time and wish you could have all been there to enjoy it with us. Maybe next year?

    Lastly we want to thank CDJO and PatrickJr for their awesome SFM artwork that we’ve been making sporadic use of during the weekend.

    scout_lineHello, my name is Valve and I’m a TF2 updateaholic. It has been 25 days since my last update and I’m getting the shakes. I’ve started to get my young students to push out videos on their “pipeline” to satisfy my urges by proxy. One with Tom Bui, yes that Tom Bui, another with Michael Abrash but they sort of did a rush half-life, sorry half-assed job and I don’t feel fulfilled. Please help.

    Reddit was the staging point of a three way jump-off between Mr Muselk, tomasazz and Deep4000 from spawn to spawn in Badwater. Muselk takes the win with 7.4 seconds and earns himself our player of the week (and vint. Lo-Fi).

    The guys over at No Bullcrits have come up with an ingenious new tournament mode. 3 classes, 3 cap points, 3 minutes. You’re too late to take part (and possibly in the wrong continent) in their Au/NZ tourney but don’t let that stop you joining their steam group and catching up with the final matches.

    One tournament that’s still LFTs is the Awesome Cup #2 10v10. Saddly no strippers in this one. It’s the standard High Lander roll-out but with an extra Demoknight class. Staying with tournament news for a little longer, ESEA Season 14 TF2 LAN was happening this weekend gone, so that’s something.

    Steam are looking to see if it will blend: the steam workshop that is. They’re looking to release a version of freeware 3D software, Blender, to Steam specifically for artists to create submissions to the Steam Workshop.

    In our build-up to next week’s show at Multiplay’s i49 event we’ve just released the video we made of the Novint Falcon’s mini-comp we made last year. You’ll want to check out our i49 page on http://kritzkast.com/i49 when it goes live on Thursday too.

    srsbusinessIts indigogo all the way this week with both US and Australia/New Zealand reaching their targets to bring teams to i49. While we’re on the topic of the UK’s biggest LAN party, someone is looking to set their friend up for a blind date there. Apparently she’s slim, about 5’6″ and into gaming. No words on how old she is but she is from Wales so take that into consideration before you apply.

    eXtv are back with their Top10 videos. This will have been the first for quite some months. From the same video factory there’s a round up of the 2nd hundred Moments of Glory. Watch out for the Lo-Fi toting pyro at the end.

    There have been updates of course as well, but only little things like fixing the VR Mode for OSX users and making the Practioner’s Processing Mask into a neck item, not a face one. We’re more interested in what 3A have to offer with their blurry Heavy image. If their Portal 2 offerings are anything to go by we may be in for a treat.

    What is Insomnia 43? Thank you for asking fellow tf2 gamer. Insomnia 43 is the largest Lan party in the UK. It is home to many tournaments and contests and as such attracts some of the best gamers from around Europe. Agro and Tempest took a trip to this magical event and got ambushed by everybody in the European TF2 scene. So there is a lot more than just talking about Team Fortress’s birthday, the real life weapons, even the New version of advanced weaponiser. Mainly we will be talk in person to some of the big names in European TF2…….and a few crazy people who just kinda wondered by.
