    How can we describe this weeks events in TF2? Revealing, Exciting, Enlightening or even Tasty? Actually we can sort of us all of those words. It starts with the Toss-Proof Towel, the latest community item to be added into the game. Also added in were three new strange parts (although one of them is currently unobtainable).

    Then as you venture outside of the update you realize how revealing valve has been this week. Letting us have look at how their office works, Valve have released with Employee handbook. Not only that, But they have also shown us a glimpse into what may be in store for the Meet the Pyro video. Where did this imagery come from? Check out the new portal video and look in the bottom left about a minute or so in.

    The Exciting parts comes in when We talk about the Mixup Up match 4. Which had just finished when we recorded, although you’ll have to wait a little while before you’ll be able to watch it. However you won’t have to wait to catch up with the KLOC event happening over at sandvichfort. OH and of course Kritzkast Distinguished Ducks making it into Div2 of ETF2L’s Highlander league…..not to blow our own trumpets.

    As for Enlightening and Tasty, feat your eyes on these 2 videos. 1 giving you a run down of all of TF2’s lore in 60 seconds and the other of a step by step guide to making a TF2 sandvich cake. Add in your emails and suddenly this become a very packed show. Enjoy.

  • 160 Hacking for hats and long quickies

    The TF2 Mix-up website was launched this week. Featuring Robin walker, Notch, Freddie Wong, Nathan Purkeypile (Bethesda), Yogscast, Brian Brushwood, Veronica Belmont, CaptainSparklez and so many others. There are more of our gaming heroes on the match roster than Gabe Newell could recruit in a week of headhunting, probably. Despite this there’s still three slots left, to be filled by you. We tell you how on this week’s show.

    TF2’s Beta gets an update. In the long tradition of beta updates this basically means a bunch of fresh new nurfs for you to cope with. The Enforcer is slower to fire and trading now impossible.

    Back in the real game, Sniper gets a leather backpack, the Cozy Camper, complete with dangling piss jar and koala. Solider’s buff/rage meters are fixed and Pyro’s Phlogistinator gets a couple of nerfs. Whom ever guessed “QR code” as the language for “Updating localization files”, take a drink.

    Steam Powered User Forums ( or SPUF for short) finally have their own subsection just for the competitive players. This was largely the result of Ashkan, our player of the week, buiding a solid presentation to put before the Valve lot. Well done mate, though Extine pushing the point home can’t have harmed either.

    As for the quickies, we make a good shot at them being the longies:

    • Ruskeydoo reports on a worrying trend of item makers’ accounts being hacked to get at their self-made hats
    • Our Steam friend Lucky Luke shows us how your friends list now has a search bar
    • Tempest talks to mnemosynaut about his recent contributions to the game
    • Collection packs are added to Steam Workshop
    • rubixRandomHero creates some cute knitted TF2 friends
