Good games on Upward and Steel last night, cheers.

Having the worst luck with item drops currently though, not getting the weapons I need to craft a class token to go with the refined metals.

I played arena for the first time in a while today, and Valve has apparently STILL not fixed the sandman bug where you spawn with like 95 HP. Maybe it's intentional. :lol

Arena has always been my 'favorite' game-type. Off-Blast (recently added) is an amazing map too. It's a shame most on GAF will never see it..

Indeed, but at least Nucleus has a KOTH mode as well (like Sawmill). I think KOTH would suit slightly altered versions of Lumberyard and Offblast as well.

I got soldier's stash recently. Good find, but rare indeed.

So, ive always played TF2 at max settings with constant 60fps back in win XP. It seems that after the upgrade to win 7 the game has become.. choppier (still at max settings, 16xAA etc). Is this normal affair on Seven or what ? i think its the only game that runs worse than before.

Does anyone know the server IP? I heard there was a GAF server. Is there a way to connect to it, maybe by knowing the IP?

That seems strange. Are you playing in windowed mode?

Has anyone told him about that? I've considered blocking him, but I keep thinking he'll figure it out and get rid of whatever he's using that does that.

There's an official blog post about the destruction of Golden Wrenches for charity:

http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4151&p=1 said:
On August 31st WiNGSPANTT and 7 other Golden Wrench owners will commit a nigh unutterable act of brazen item-aggression so egregious that we shudder to think of the implications should the Administrator herself catch wind of it.

On that day 8 Golden Wrenches will be destroyed.



Somehow these few have found the strength of will to reject the lure of Australium to serve a greater cause.

Over the last month Jon "WiNGSPANTT" Tran has spent his personal time and energy promoting and collecting donations for the Child's Play charity. The more donations received, the more Golden Wrenches to be destroyed on August 31st. As each Golden Wrench is destroyed a global message will be sent to everyone playing Team Fortress 2 announcing the sacrifice. Everyone who donates will receive a place on a special steam group to mark their generosity.

So far the event has managed to raise over $5,000 in donations. Further contributions may very well secure the destruction even more Golden Wrenches.

If you are interested in participating in the Golden Charity event please visit the website.

The TF2 team knew that the Golden Wrench event would be controversial -- an experiment in the distribution of an ultra-rare item. We never imagined that it would empower a small group of players to benefit a much vaster group of children in need. We are constantly shocked and impressed by the creativity of the Team Fortress 2 community, but today we are humbled.

Love the end. It comes across as truly genuine.

Bleagh, the internet was being cruddy today so my connection kept dying which would explain why I kept leaving randomly. Oh wells. Fun stuff tonight. Can't believe we won that round of Dustbowl though.

Yeah, that match was crazy. I was surprised we won considering we got steam-rolled on the first two rounds. I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure we only had one Engineer as well.

Java and I went engie with one other guy but there was a point in the match near the last five minutes where suddenly every single player on Blu made a push for the second point. Common sense hit me and I switched to pyro and started airblasting everybody off the bridge :lol

Memorable moments include blowing Java up and sniping Kuro, just like old times :D

:eek:( Those grenades had my name all over them. They should really rebalance upwards a bit. It's way too easy to camp the last point with several engineers.

That round had some amazingly close calls. It got to the point where I couldn't build anything so I switched to spy to take out their teles. Thankfully the red team held them long enough for me to get through to the entrances. I'm almost tempted to turn off alltalk on those close rounds, or at least when a team can't get past a big obstacle like the final upwards CP.

That guy played on the server one night and we gave him a ton of shit for advertising his site. It went from "oh, nice golden wrench" to "gtfo of here, dirty spammer" within a few minutes.

relies on auto-aim
When playing I got every single engie item, in order, 1 achievement before the milestone.
It was pretty weird but now I think I have 3 of each unlock.

I played some arena matches for the first time (which is surprising since I've had the game since launch). I played as Scout and got the first kill at least half a dozen times and didn't get the crit bonus or the achievement. Normally it wouldn't bother me, but I'm 1 achievement away from milestone 3.

Also, why is the GAF server empty tonight? And you'd better not answer "Minecraft!"

When you play tf2 for a long time, you get to a stage where you continue through one of three paths

1. get bored, stop playing
2. play really casually, alongside other games
3. try competitive play

so tf2 gaf hype is gone, and now the server isn't as active :'(

makes me sad

More like it's just Minecraft and SCII dude. It's not the end of the world. I got over phase 1 about a month ago so I've been fairly active this week though the semesters about to start in less than a month.

4. Keep playing on the GAF server or other servers when friends are on.

Or maybe I'm the only person who does that after 600+ hours?

For me, I've been busy late for most of the week and haven't really had time to play, or else I tried Minecraft for one or two nights. Now that it's the weekend, I might try to get some programming done instead of playing as much, but if I see people on, or an event, I might join for a while. :)
