This was one of those, “I know! Let’s all go Engy and do some crazy SG building on the bridge! We’ll PWN TH3M!!!” Well, Mr. Buzzard’s better half showed up just then with the Backburner. You can’t see it very well, but she’s gloating and smirking beneath the gas mask here: Just to point out, [...]

Sorry Xena. But thanks for this sweet DoD:S Achievement.

This taken before the Palermo update with the achievements, but I wonder can anyone give a good name for what this achievement would be:

In what Shane on the steampowered forums refers to as the “Boy Scout-ization” of gaming, merit badges and all manner of whatnot seem to be part of what keeps players coming back for more. This has caused a little (unreasonable) controversy amongst some hardcore DoD fans, but I think they’re harmless and can be fun. [...]

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.

More on this later….the Day of Defeat Source forums on steampowered are ridiculous at the moment. Great for a laugh, but sometimes so pathetic it invokes pity. Will throw in my two cents later regarding the outcry and pandemonium (Bone, that’s how it’s spelled. You tried to spell it when we were playing Aqua last [...]

The beta’s no more a beta! It’s all grown up and Achieving great things (although…having some trouble updating the FNF server….on the phone with Bat21 as I type this)! Nice to see they changed the “TF2 Achievement Trophy” to a more DoD-appropriate chevron. Apparently someone up there at Valve listened closely to piu piu’s suggestions. [...]

From today’s update: Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include: Team Fortress 2 *Reduced Medic’s unlockable requirements to match that of the Pyro’s. Medic players now meeting the requirements will receive their unlockables shortly after joining a server [...]

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, DoD:S guru [...]
