Ubercharged.net Song Parody

June 28th, 2008

Another phenomenon surrounding TF2 is the proliferation of parody songs.
Check out madlep’s version of “The Devil Went Down to Dustbowl” (click here if for some reason you don’t know the Charlie Daniels Band tune) over at Ubercharged.net. It’s accompanied by some lovely FragWagon.com screenshots!
Here’s a sample:
“Spy on the cap point, run boys, run.
The soldier’s in [...]

Medic Healing Explained!

Robin Walker dishes on healing rates in a - GUESS WHAT - update to the Official Team Fortress 2 Blog!
Clicky! It’s fairly interesting!

From some long ago DoD game:

All This TF2 Crap

June 23rd, 2008

I don’t want this to turn into a TF2 Only Blog, but the DoD:S update is dragging it’s feet, the Pyro Update came out (with all the attendant enthusiasm for new maps), and we haven’t been playing on FNF’s DoD:S Beta server. It’s hosted on Bat21’s home dsl and is pretty laggy. Nevertheless, [...]

Valve Now Blogging TF2

June 20th, 2008

TF2 has a new (official) blog!
Here’s a bit of of Robin Walker’s first post:
Now that we’ve settled into regular releases of content, we’ve found ourselves wanting a better way to talk directly to the TF2 community about the state of the game and some of the reasoning behind the choices we’re making. Our hope is [...]

On Pwnage Videos

June 13th, 2008

A fella on the steampowered forums named huggybear posted a topic with the question, “Give your opinion on frag vids”.  I post here my response, which was thoughtfully considered after wasting too much time on youtube and vimeo watching this variety of crap.
 ”99.9% of frag or “pwnage” vids are boring.
Some tips:

I’m not really into custom player/weapon skins myself, but I thought this was pretty dang cool!

Get ‘em here. By Ripperhugme. Dudeman has some serious framerate issues though. Still a cool skin!

Gamer’s Spat (Part II)

June 8th, 2008

I don’t feel like gaming tonight, so I thought I’d continue with my hair-brained theories on why so many TF2 players are jerks.
Call me crazy, but I think a lot of TF2 players are multiplayer noobs. By “noobs” I don’t mean that they lack game skill, but they lack the understanding that comes with having [...]

Trailers

June 8th, 2008

OK, I’m a nerd. But that was established long ago. I’m getting excited about the Meet the Sniper video and so I watched all the trailers back to back today. I still like the Engineer’s the best. I mean, it starts with him playing guitar by a campfire. How funny [...]

Gamer’s Spat

June 7th, 2008

TF2 and I aren’t talking.
Really, it has little to do with the actual game but the staggering number of players who need to constantly berate their teammates. If it’s not with outright bannable language and attitude, it’s sarcastic crap like, “HEY! I KNOW! How about we have OFFENSE aaand DEFENSE?”
Hey! [...]
