Gordon Freeman Calls Coast to Coast AM

Right, this one is hilarious. Not exactly TF2 related, but gold all the same.

From Saturday morning, January 19, 2008. Someone posing as Freeman calls in on open lines. George Noory is apparently oblivious.

Gordon rants off his paranoid conspiracy theories about some “G-man” stalking him.

Sentry PC Case Mod (Upgraded to level 3!)

The ever helpful Elvis! linked another keeper.

May I present - the TF2 sentry PC case mod. Man, if I turned up to a LAN with this thing, I’d be like the coolest guy there (not hard considering some of the LANs I’ve been to…) I want one.

It was built by TiTON of ironmods.com

Kick Ass Defensive Scout Gameplay - 29 kills, 1 death

The ever helpful Elvis! linked to a VERY nice scout game play video.

It’s of T6 PanFrie }svny{|DF| again. Thats same player with the crazy scout trick jumping skills that I linked to yesterday. The vid was posted by PointlessPunk. This shows that there are some genuine tactical benefits to the show off jumpy stuff in yesterdays vid.

T6 PanFrie }svny{|DF| At it again, playing as a Defensive scout on cp_gravelpit. Dies rather quick into the start of the round, but makes up for it for getting 29 kills, and not dying the rest of the defense. (youtube hates me and kills audio… so im just gonna give up on sound for now… put on your favorite music while you watch it :-P )

Some of this stuff is nuts. I can’t handle scout playing scout. I used to be ok at fast paced twitch stuff back in the day, but I’m old now, and my reflexes have atrophied from that dark patch where I spent a couple of years playing MMORPGs. Screw you WoW.

Control Point Episode 12 - 2Fort

The guys from Dead Workers Party have pumped out another episode of the Control Point podcast. They’re talking about 2fort this time.

Even though I’ve sworn off 2fort as a new years resolution, its still a great listen (as always) for the usual tricks and tips.

In belated news (cause I’m a slack ass), their episode from last week on the spy is also out there in intersphereland as well.

Scout Trip Jumping Video

Pointlesspunk has posted a kick ass scout trick jumping video. After the ultra-newbie discussion on 2fort bridge jumping the other day, this stuff is uber-jedi-master-cool level. We’re talking Parkour for Team Fortress 2.

Parkour (by Alexandre Ferreira used under CC-by-2.0)

T6 PanFrie }svny{|DF| Jumping around on all the stock maps (except for hydro… cause it suck), showing faster ways to get places, and just different ways around the maps in general

There is some serious molestation of the gravel pit towers going on in this one. I had no idea you could get up that high in that map as a scout.

Messed Up Rainbow Glitch Team Fortress 2

Koopa mailed these pics over. Some weird ass glitching going on there.

I got a new videocard today and am experiencing LOTS of graphic errors - these are the funniest ones. I swear by my website, that I did not change the images with a graphic program, those crazy effects occured ingame. I don’t know where this comes from, but I call it the Demoman-Drunk-Too-Much-Effect :-)

I reckon its “Pyro Inhaled Too Many Propane Fumes Effect”, or “Raver Scout Took Too Much Acid Effect” personally ;)

And no, before you try this at home, it doesn’t mean you can see cloaked spies, stop crit rockets by going into “bullet time”, or ascend to a higher plane of existence, enlightenment, and inner bliss. Although you may require glasses if you play like this too long.

How To Play Medic Tutorial Video

HeadStrikeR has made a great medic tutorial video showing off surgical techniques for 1st year medical interns new to TF2.

Its got some really nice camera work, and covers all the tips you wish your doctor knew. Some nice game play ownage footage going on in there as well.

After 2 month and 3 complete reworks it’s finally finished!

My movie shows the golden rules of medic gameplay and is for entertainment. Fits for young and old medic compadres. I always wanted to create something nice with Sony Vegas and i think it was worth it. I mixed together only the best clips i have recorded so far. If you watch this video pls write a comment and let me know what you think about it!

If you ask yourself, why medic is awesome gameplay? Because if you really get into the role of the medic, it plays like a field commander. The abilities all in one, medic is just great! nuff said :)


I spotted it over at Team Fortress 2 Guides - koopa’s new site (he’s an ubercharged regular). Its a great site, go check it out.

How To Play Demoman Tutorial Video

Deep Blue emailed with links to a new tutorial video he has made for playing demoman. Some good tips to watch for aspiring demomen. Only thing I’d change is to add more discussion on the finer points of demoman crotch taunting.

Here’s the youtube vid. It’s also up on stage6 for those who like the nicer version.
