Valve needs to hurry up and release some major updates so we can get 6000 new posts.

 

[ArtistDude88]

Speaking of major updates, this may be (really) old news, but I've only just recently read it.

Remember that End of the Line SFM trailer I posted a while back? I went to check to see if there were any updates on it and found this interview.

Apparently Valve liked it so much, they've contacted the makers to make it into a large community update with supporting content. Neat!

Also, this little update video.

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

Come play with us.

But you would excel at the game though! It's all about strategy and Dazzling!

Dazzle...

I would categorize DOTA 2 more like a life stealer.

Lifestealer...

 

[Spaceb0y]

Best. Response. EVAR.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

TF2 is still awesome, my life just doesn't allow me to play an hour a night anymore. That's my personal experience.

Spoiler

Also Dota 2 killed it

But the real question is: When Smite kills Dota 2, will all the Gaffers come back to TF2?

 

[MatthewB92]

Too much Dota in this thread.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Matt! You never play tf2 anymore!

Last summer work took too much time from me so I never did and once the winter hit I didn't even want to use my computer. If I had a laptop I would play more. Should get one I think. Would play more.

It'll start in about 1 and a half hours.

 

[Mister Chippy]

Can someone fill me in on everything non-MVM related that's happened since 2 cities?

 

[Blizzard]

There's not any way to turn off all pyrovision effects while you're wearing the goggles, right? Only some of them? They look cool but I don't want the effects.

 

[Bluth54]

Well basically nothing has happened since 2 Cities besides a few weapon tweaks.

Okay, this 6v6 draft series on the tipofthehats stream is hilarious. Tyrone + Kritz = fail.

That was the best cut to comms ever.

Welp, they got over $100k. About $8k short of tripling last year's total of $36k. Will probably go up a bit more, but I'm done for the night. Fun.

 

[Collete]

I totally forgot about Tip of the Hats....again.
Twice I've missed it live!....Always next year. lol.

Unrelated note, Yeef wants to try and become something else other than a bear...

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I'm already the G.O.A.T.

The new backpack UI is so great, it lists all of your pages at the bottom and you just hold your item over that page to automatically go to it.

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Having killstreak parts in a crate rather than needing to pay for Tours is nice, but putting Strangifiers in boxes instead of just the strange weapons themselves? Huh?

Gotta come back to the magic of tf2 and you'll find out.

 

[Sparse]

Click meh.

Looks like there's new stuffs on the way.

Let's see, what else? Oh, we're also working on a Moonbase! It's got a whole bunch of interesting new gameplay and we're pretty excited about it. We think you will be too. Here's some concept art:

Last thing: taunts! We're working on a way for you guys to upload your own taunts to the Workshop, which should be a lot of fun. We're also animating some new ones ourselves that we think you're going to love. We'll leave you with a tiny preview:

Yay, new comics are always nice.

About the game itself, I started trying the Vaccinator recently and it is surprisingly a good bit of fun. I don't know if it is considered good or bad or terrible in competitive games, but for normal games it seems to work okay, and it is kind of neat that you have the various damage types to think about and switch between. I think I used the overdose with it if that's the item that gives you a speed boost. Plus the charges build so fast that it takes away most of the medic stress about building an ubercharge for 2 minutes and dying to lose all that progress.

If only there were a melee shield type, assuming bullet shield and blast shield don't include that.

Amelia Earhart's famous sweet tooth has doomed us all!

Just read the post and comic...Is Tf2 going to be....fun again?

 

[Bluth54]

Great comic, and nice to see the moon base concept art. I look forward to seeing the Moonbase update, hopefully it wont be too much longer.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Oh my god this comic is so great.

Francis the talking France is in it!

I played last night for a little bit and had fun.

The trick is to not think about the game for months at a time.

What page? I missed it.

The comic is indeed pretty great. Happy times for everyone! Happy heavy, happy soldier, pyro in love.

Moonbase aww hell yeah. Hopefully not MvM.

Ohshi, I remember seeing space-themed TF2 concepts in like 2007. Anyone remember those, with all the space shuttle and rocket shit?

I remember a few custom maps in like '08 really early on, usually played with gravity on the server.

Aww, Heavy's family is the sweetest thing ever.

 

[Yeef]

The comic is pure fabrication. It reads like a bad fanfic. THere's nothing plausible or believable about it at all.

On the plus side, they may be hinting at bringing back the old mercs as a 3rd team. That could be pretty interesting.

Also, I wonder whatever happened to that 15 minute movie they were supposed to be working on.

 

[ArtistDude88]

Maybe those long lost Scout and Medic Dr. Grordbort sets will finally appear with the moonbase map.

Interesting new gameplay is always welcome, too!
