Major Malfunction does a jig after eliminating yet another Pyro update maniac.

As expected, there was a lot of Pyros, it was raining Achievements, and a good time was had by all on FNF. Even some johnny-come-lately Medics were following Pyros around, trying to mop up the Bedside Manner Achievement (healing someone as they get an achievement). I got that one myself, tonight. No, [...]

An old shot of LIGHTER, playing his favorite class (go figure). LIGHTER’s been busy of late. Haven’t seen him fragging much. If you see him, tell him Pad says hello.

At first it’s like, “OK, this is obviously a ripoff of Ignis Solus“. But stick with it.

The update to Pyro, along with a “Meet the Sniper” video is coming soon. From rockpapershotgun.com:
This includes the introduction of a new unlockable weapon for the Pyro, the Axtinguisher. (Best name ever?) Dishing out half-damage when used alone, if used to chop a player you’ve already set on fire (it’s funny how innocent this [...]
