I’m the last person to find out about this today, I guess. The Scout Update, if you haven’t read about it, click this link.

Here was STOVETOP’s idea for a counter to the new Scout Baseball Homerun Device:
STOVETOP: I think the engie should get a glove to catch them in
Pad See Ew: lol!!!
STOVETOP: or at least [...]

Sorry you alls, I’ve been stuck in RESPAWN all this time! No, really! I blame the crit rockets and spies!
OK, so I’m not getting off so easy, you say. Here’s the hard truth: I’ve not been that busy. I’ve not stopped playing TF2 or DoD:S. I [...]

Valve dishes on their new Alpine Art Style.

The hills are alive, with the sound of PWNAGE.

Nice.  If you haven’t already, check out the steampowered.com Heavy Update page for info on the new Arena Mode maps.
No, no Murderball. OK, it was a longshot. But I thought Mr. Walker might have some nostalgia for it. Hey, I can’t be right every time (like I was with Fastlane, and nearly Steel).
It looks like [...]

From the Heavy Update site:
This open area has few natural choke points, allowing Scouts, Soldiers, and Demomen to move creatively through the space, forcing the Red team to rapidly respond to choices made by Blu.
I’m looking forward to see how “creatively” they’ve gimped any hope of putting up a Sentry Gun on this map. Question: [...]

Oh Valve: you tease, you! From the TF2 Official Blog:
In addition to the three unlockable weapons and thirty-five achievements for the Heavy, we’ve got a new game mode with five new arenas for it….
I have GOTTA believe that Valve is not going the “orange-deathmatch-made-in-five-minutes-piece-of-garbage” route with this. Arena says to me “games”. Either for gladiatorial [...]

In case you haven’t yet heard, the update webpage for the Heavy Weapons Guy is now up and running, with more to be revealed in the coming days. So check back here!

“I am VERY HAPPY!” - HWGuy
I for one am pleased as punch (the HWG melee variety) that they’ve decided to go with cp_steel in [...]

I thought Shane expressed everything I wanted to say about the new Freezecam in DoD:S. This was in response to someone lauding the old Deathcam….basically the argument was if the Sniper or MG barely moved, you wouldn’t be able to tell where he was*.
“98% of the time I know exactly where he is. Because the view centers [...]

Ran across this great quote today, while reading a book review in the Wall Street Journal (hey, they have great articles):
John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, about a momentous day during the proceedings of the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Adams predicted that the day “will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great [...]

You TF2′ers, I say again - download Day of Defeat Source while it’s free this weekend.
LINKY LINKY CLICK HERE THEN CLICK PRELOAD
Had a blast tonight. Our server admin, Bat21, got the problems sorted (except our admin mod was making the server crash….we removed it). Good stuff.

The game feels like DoD did before Source. [...]
