Engineer Upgrades Revealed!

April 17th, 2008 · 35 Comments · TF2 News

Well.  Not revealed.  Sort of mentioned as a possibility.  Maybe.
A small note at the bottom of this article on Maximum PC mentions that Valve, which I think I’m going to start calling “The Valve”, are considering adding upgrades to the engie’s dispenser and teleporter, no doubt due to my very recent complaints that I suck […]

April 17th, 2008 · 17 Comments · TF2 News

1Up has an article on the upcoming TF2 map and medigasm, including a screenshot of the new medic loadout screen (where you choose your medic’s gear before playing) and a nice shot of the totally boss ubersaw.
It’s gonna be pretty exciting when these things start appearing in-game.  The first guy toting around an ubersaw is […]

Medic Achievements Also Revealed

April 16th, 2008 · 24 Comments · TF2 News

Kotaku has the poop on this one.
In a way, it’s a relief, because I’m seriously never ever going to get most of these, so I don’t have to worry about them. On the other hand, medics trying to get some of these are going to be seriously annoying. There’s gonna be some medic […]

Medic Unlocks Revealed

April 16th, 2008 · 27 Comments · TF2 News

Shacknews is reporting that the new unlockable Medic gear has been detailed by Valve. At a party. That I wasn’t invited to.
It includes the following:
The Blutsaugher: A syringe gun that draws health from enemies at the expense of critical hits. Unlocked after a third of the achievements have been completed.
The Critzcrieg: […]

Built to Last

April 15th, 2008 · 37 Comments · Blather

So, a couple things about Engineers.
Engie used to be my favorite class.  I haven’t been playing as an engineer much lately, and the other night I figured out why. It’s because I usually don’t have much fun when I play as an engie anymore, in fact, I have a miserable time, and that’s because […]

More Monday Map Missive!

April 15th, 2008 · 11 Comments · TF2 Maps

This one is actually on Monday! Well, I started it on Monday, at least. Welcome to Tuesday: it’s like Monday, but later.
This week’s map: smbcastle2
A small, fun, fairly ridiculous attack-defend CP map, notable for the twin catapults the offense uses to fling themselves into the castle.
There are three points to capture inside […]

Update!

April 14th, 2008 · 12 Comments · Blather

For my money, there’s nothing worse than a blog that updates with nothing but an apology for the lack of updates.
That said, sorry I haven’t updated lately!
I had a fun but busy weekend, and work has been and will be kicking my arse for at least another week or so, not to mention I’ve got […]

Monday Map Missive!

April 10th, 2008 · 22 Comments · TF2 Maps

Yeah, I know it’s Thursday. If it’s that important to you, wait until Monday to read this.
As I play TF2 with mostly east coasters, they’re usually slouching off to bed just when I’m getting warmed up. Some nights, rather than rolling the dice with the usual collection of mic-spamming pubbie retards, I look […]

My Real Stats

April 8th, 2008 · 68 Comments · Gaming

Here are some of my personal TF2 stats that aren’t “offically” tracked, but that I keep a tally of in my head. And heart.
Time spent running the wrong way on Warpath: 01:16:42
Time spent playing while mistakenly thinking I’m on BLU when I’m on RED or vice-versa: 11:42:33
Time it takes me to burn […]
