KritzKast the TF2 podcast · 162 STAR saws

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.

KritzKast the TF2 podcast · 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.
