    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.

    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.

    BOO! Not the scariest of introductions, but it’s hard to be evil when you play Valve games. The Third Annual Scream Fortress kicked in this week, with a new map designed for the holiday period. Don’t worry if you haven’t had chance to play yet as it doesn’t end until 6th November. This gives you plenty of time to ogle the all-seeing eye that is Monoculus on Eyeaduct. Even after this Halloween event has died out the effects will live on with a mass of new Halloween items, new unusual effects and new voice lines all rising from the grave every time the moon is full again. AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Plus, to keep the horror flowing, Valve have given us another comic depicting the origins of Monoculus. Creep under your covers, get out the torch and read it with care. For surely it’s too late we cry, “too late!” To include these sheets in the forthcoming comic collections of Dark Horse.

    This weeks video of the week (no this isn’t a new section, its just we really like this video and think it should be viewed by all) shows off what could be done with all the footage valve has made for “meet the videos”. Could this video spark valve into kick starting its TF2 TV series project?

    We also ask ourselves, “why do 30% of TF2 players buy something in the store, when most F2P games only get about 2-3%?” Gabe revealed this amazing stat in a recent interview. Maybe we think we know, maybe.

    Lastly Pat’s bloody sack conceals a mash-up voice clip, HHH’s head and icon replacements. All provided by you, the haunting audience.
