When we get guests on the show it’s a real gamble. Sometimes they are quiet as a mouse, other times we can’t shut them up. This time we had on STAR, the guy from YouTube, and the gamble paid off. He’s got just the right mix of sarcasm and wit that mixed really well with the regulars. It probably helps that he’s actually talented, this week’s cover art having been ripped from his work on deviantArt.
All that was said with a straight face. Important to note because not everything that happened this week should be taken at face value. We aired on April 1st and as usual the internet was full of troll. More than a little came from the TF2 Wiki. It started with a Circular Circlesaw for Ricochet 2, continued with a fake hint at Half Life 3 in the form of the Heartwarming Headache and finished up with possibly the best “item we’ll never get”, the Crocketeer’s Cloak.
Surprisingly, Valve decided to avoid the whole joke update and instead gave us 3 hats. The Dueler, the Philateler and the Gifting_Man_From_Gifting_Land. All of which exist for just one day on each head they land, then move on to the next person (to have spent a great deal of money on the store). We also have an instant of anti-troll on cp_gullywash_final1 where a ladder that looks like it should have been climbable has been removed. Or as the April Fool’s wiki would have us believe, it hasn’t.
Lastly we have news of the TF2 Mix-up event so far making OVER 9000!! dollars for Child’s Play Charity, a discussion on this year’s Saxxy Awards and ranking for servers.
