Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

There was a ton of cool stuff in today’s Über Update, Valve’s “biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2.” We got new weapons and items for all but one of the classes (why no Engie love, Valve?), a new map and, perhaps most importantly, the announcement that Team Fortress 2 would henceforth [...]

I’m off to find a server that runs this mod. God, I love this game.

The last in the initial round of class updates for Team Fortress 2 is finally coming! Perhaps more than any other class, the Engineer brings the most exciting possibilities in terms of weapon unlocks and, as has been the norm with the previous updates, Valve will be revealing just what these are over the course [...]

The Apple crowd can finally rejoice because Team Fortress 2 is finally available on the Mac. I’ve been playing the game for close to a year now on my sweet ass PC so how does this affect me? Well, we got a new menu interface plus a tutorial (to get Mac n00bs up to speed), another [...]

He’s an important class in both offense and defense but one that’s, unfortunately, a little boring to play because you’re pretty much stuck babysitting your buildings for the entirety of a match [...]

Sometimes, I’ll come up with an idea that I want to see through and, as the piece progresses, I begin to realize that it just isn’t working out or I’m not giving it my best. This is one such occasion: I think that the Team Fortress 2 Pyro as a cannibal is an idea that [...]

In what is actually our second recorded episode, Mark and I get into the nitty gritty of Suda51′s No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. It’s a long one and pretty much no stone is left unturned so be ready for it. In our news segment, we talk about Valve, Steam and how awesome they are [...]

After Portal 2 was made official, I went back and completed the original game in one sitting so to say that I’m excited about this game is a massive understatement. We all knew it was coming eventually but Valve’s marketing prior to the announcement made the reveal that much sweeter. Now that I have an [...]

Let’s do this. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge. More Team Fortress 2 mayhem after the break.
