Sniper Guide
Josh from The Serious Nerd, has written up a great tips list for lovers of the point and click adventure known as “playing sniper”.
The coolest part is the illustrations to go along with it
Absolutely essential for all Snipers is the fast weapon change. When turned on, you won’t bring up the list of weapons when you press 1, 2, or 3 trying to switch. This is very important because when you suddenly find yourself being attacked when you’re zoomed in with your Sniper Rifle, you’ll need every second you’ve got to turn around and start sinking bullets or blades into the guy. Pressing the button twice to change weapons is just simply too slow, so make sure you turn on the fast weapon change in the options menu.
Just remember to use this power for good instead of evil.

Hey madlep, so I finally decided to get in the game! downloaded fraps the other day. Whilst testing I recorded a small event i though was at least slightly worth watching so I went the whole hog and made a little vid:

The music you hear is me too, I’m playing guitar to a metallica backing track. Not asking for a feature on the site - it’s just a guinea pig vid i made - first time using windows movie maker and fraps. anyway check it out

@madlep
Have you seen the little TF2 thing on the end of the latest Zero Punctuation?
i found it a little creepy, i never imagined the heavy and the medic to be in that kind of relationship, i assumed that it was purely professional!

@Elvis - kick ass
@Murdoc - yeah, that was cool. I love the little tidbits Yahtzee throws in at the end

Notice how Josh starts being mean to people behind their backs!
Just keep in mind; that’s how he is.
