    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.

  • 161 Let Me Show You My Strange Parts

    Go on, Show us your Strange Parts. By that I of course mean the strange parts that you can now add onto your Strange weapons. Such Strange weapons as the Sapper and Construction PDA. Yep, they both have strange version now available in creates. But to implement it, Valve added a Sapper and PDA slot to the Spy and Engie. Could this be the start of new types of weapons?

    While you’re pondering that question, Take a look at the new Items Making their way into the game this week. The Waxy Wayfinder for the Pyro, and the Scrap Pack for the Medic and Pyro. Want to get hold of them both? One you can by in the store, One is a promo item. Find out which is which in the show.

    However, the Big new this week is the finals of the South African KLOC event, hosted by 16BitTF. Agro even casted the finals with greaver and comedian. Take a look, Its one hell of a game. Just like the TF2-Mixup will be. I know we talked about it last week, but please take a look at it. Not only is it giving money to a very worthwhile charity, But it’s also your chance to play with an amazing group of people.

    Then we have a story for you all. Listen to the show for all the details, But lets just say it involves cookies, Saxton hale and Broken merchandise from valve…….and a recipe for Superglue.

  • 158 Lo-Fi World Tour

    Well this was a week. We thought we’d seen it all, but we are always surprised by some of the things that manage to find their way onto the show. This week the big thing is simply a rumor. We could be talking about something that will never happen. But when that this is a steam console, its worth talking about. Plus with Valves track record, it would not be a huge leap of the imagination that this information was leaked out.

    If we can drag you back to reality for just a moment. Valve gave us a couple of things to talk about this week. The patch was all about the Teufort Tooth kicker. The boots that make you look more handsome that a cowboy wrestling a pig. Not only that, but valve blogged about a great web comic that you all need to read….yes even you Timmy.

    Maybe the biggest news is that the Kritzkast Lo-Fi Offclass Cup is going to be held in both South Afica and Asia. We always love it when different groups want to play with our ideas and make them their own. We love it even more when small or starting groups of gamers use it as a way to increase the number of people playing team fortress. With stunning posters from both 16bittf and Sandvichfort, we are hoping that people will have as much fun with the cups as we do watching them.

    Speaking of watching things, This week could almost be called the video of awesome videos. There were 3 wanted to talk about on the show this week. One of them taught you how to use the TF2 wiki. Yes we know. you might already know how to use it. but please check it out, its fantastic. The next is from Maxofs2d and is a trailer for his highly anticipated Earthbound Fortress 2 series. I hope it’s as good as the trailer makes it look. The last one is really a thank you from last week’s guest Dusty Old Roses. Want to see what we are like in public, this gives you a fairly good idea.
