You're asking for it with a skirt that short.
Perhaps most importantly, Mumble and SourceTV are desync'd by maybe 3 minutes. Someone listening on Mumble isn't going to have much idea of the exact situation + voicechat sync, other than spoilers about which team lost the match and who died before it happens. *shrug*

So I wonder what this new game mode is called, since it seems like Doomsday is the name of the map. Is it MVM? If it is MVM then what was up with all the hinting about robots the TF2 team has been doing?

Wouldn't the obvious MVM acronym be Man vs Machine?

Pyro is genderless and is really a robot?

Hence the tendency to wear both female and male clothing?

...

But pyros can get gibbed and there's blood all around...hmm...
 
Do you guys play TF2 with music in the background? I usually lower iTunes's volume to 50% so I can hear you guys better, but sometimes I forget to lower it or don't feel like lowering it if I'm listening to a new soundtrack. Unfortunately, that usually means I have to approximate what the quieter folks say.

I've avoided playing on The Jank because I'm mostly a veg out player when I boot it up. Actually, that rings true for every multiplayer game I play. My in-game sound's near mute and I have a show or music on in the background.

Basically every DR spy might as well be Saharan against me.

One day when I can let my ADD slide and can give the game my undivided attention I'll hop on.

I remember one time I had HBO on while playing TF2. It was some movie I've seen before (I don't remember what it was -- let's just say it was Jingle All The Way) so I was just vaguely listening to it. I guess I started getting way into TF2 because the next time I looked at my TV, the movie had ended and some softcore porno was on!

Yea I sometimes use Pandora while playing TF2, Portal, Civ V, BF3. Mostly games without a dominant soundtrack playing throughout the gameplay.
 
I have spent 2 weeks and I cannot figure out how to get my mic to work while in TF2. I can talk just fine when I have the Mumble window selected, but if I'm in Chrome, Word, TF2 or anything else the key doesn't seem to work. fml.

I think there's a checkbox next to the key settings in mumble that suppresses that key in other applications. Maybe try that out. I could be completely wrong, but I remember seeing it...

What key is it? Did you try the left Alt key?

Posting my tf2 fan fiction here, as one of you guys must like it:


This is how I imagine how Meet the Pyro will be:

PRESENT DAY: 1960

Both teams are ready, they know the drill, but for one this journey is about redemption, this Pyro knows that this was his purpose in life and a final way of putting all the bad dreams to bed, he walks out of the mesh gates and see's the rocket. The Pyro stops for a moment as his team-mates charge past him singing their battle cries, inside his gas mask a tear starts to form as he remembers back to that fateful day.


YEAR: 1951

A plan roars across the Amazon rainforest, two chimps look upwards as they see smoke coming out of one the engines, suddenly the plane splutters and starts to fall, nose first it paverolls into the thick forest tree's, screeches can be heard from the animals fleeing from the plane in desperation. Both plane wings ripped apart, it looks like a rocket more than anything else, the under-belly of the aircraft lit like a firework. The plane still flaming hit's a river bank. the force of the impact stops the plane in it's tracks, most of the flames have been wiped out from the river.

The two chimps who had been clinging onto a branch all this time, notice something coming out of the wreckage, the chimps move closer sensing someone could still be alive. As they get closer they see a female woman badly injured carrying something in a red cloth. Something inside that cloth was crying as if it was intense pain, the female collapses to the ground still clutching the cloth, the chimps scramble forward. Other chimps start to come until there are 20 around the female, one of them peers into the cloth but see's nothing, but two yellow eye's. The woman with her last strength pushes the cloth to the chimps, the two chimps slowly reaches out taking the red cloth as two legs are dangling below the cloth, the chimps realize it's the female's child, the mother now motionless as the child starts to cry.


YEAR: 1954

A few years had passed since the incident, the Pyro or as the the other chimps called him 'the red chimp' had trouble fitting in, he was often an outcast with only the two chimps who found him as his adopted parents for support. The pyro spent most of his time in his plane as hew knew the other chimps would never venture there. His adopted parents had made him a suit from rubber life dingy's that were found upon the plane as well as a gas mask to hide his decomposed face.

The Pyro not keen on the chimpanzee's diet decided to hunt fish instead, he had a knack for ambushing prey, some of the chimpanzee's were worried about this, thinking they were next, however the Pyro kept to smaller animals like lizards and had a preference for piranha. It wasn't soon long enough that Pyro had started to use tools to hunt down his prey, first a axe which he found inside a plane, he then made primitive weapons such as torches and arrows, until his final creation a fire extinguisher which set things on fire. His adopted parents were pleased at his progress, soon the other chimps felt more comfortable around him - considering he kept setting all the predators on fire and protecting the flock.


YEAR: 1956

The Pyro is rudely awakend by a ear splitting roar from his den way up in the trees, down below he spots tree loggers, he wasn't new to this, but it still scared him nonetheless. The Pyro grabbed his tools ready for combat, the Pyro looks down and spots two loggers hacking away. With his axe and at the ready he jumps as lands the first blow, the other logger in complete shock stands motionless as the Pyro engulfs him in flames - only screams can be heard at his point, before a deafening salience.

More loggers started to move in, hearing their colleagues in distress they got there guns at the ready, but each one falling into the Pyro's trap, a puff of flames and then an axe and the next thing it was over. The Pyro surveyed the massacre, none of them had a chance - a few had escaped. But the Pyro knew there was something wrong, what could it have been? the amount of loggers seemed a bit too unreasonable this time, he looked down at one of his corpses and see's a diary he flicks flew threw until he see's a picture of a long tube with monkeys crammed inside it pointing to a circle and a small flag on top of the circle .

The Pyro's heart drops as a deaning roar is heard, a large rocket has lifted off in the distance, the Pyro now all alone looks at the rocket as it moves into the outer reaches of the sky before vanishing. The Pyro looks down at the diary, he can't read but at the front it has an aperture science logo, he pockets the diary in his little sleeve and starts following the tracks of the loggers who fled, hoping to get answers and revenge.

PRESENT DAY: 1960

The pyro still looking at the rocket know it's today, today is the day that he finally goes back home.




eh..... screw it was going to be longer but I gave up.

Pay more attention to your class than your team, because when, inevitably, people drop out, I'll rearrange the teams to get them back to being balanced.

I guess you get to enact your revenge Yeef.

Is there a difference between Highlander and Hightower?
notsureifserious.tga
highlander is a game mode where there is only one of each class on a team.
hightower aka plr_hightower aka "bind <allkeys> votemap plr_hightower" is a payload race map

it's finally Meet the Pyro time and you get rid of your pyro avatar.

sigh baquon
It was only an attempt to get more people to buy Botanicula. (Buy Botanicula!)

I'll probably change it again when I get home :]

fro looked really bored as engy.

Yeah, they definitely grabbed the briefcase once because I was bored and wasn't paying 100% attention. You guys made it easy on me.

They finally did push in a couple times late with a Solider/Medic but way too late for them.

Engy is pretty fucking boring on vitalism.

If you run a Level 3, sure. I probably would have been fine running Gunslinger and being aggressive against this team but I wanted to play it safe.

found this lololol

"What does KSRF stand for?"
"Something Super Rage Force"

Glorious.

Seriously, I don't know what it stands for.

The video title has my busted tag used. It's official folks, we're now KRSF not KSRF.

Match actually starts at 19:55.

"Where is Soka going?"
"wuuuut"

I HATE YOU DANTE.

At 24:30 they talk shit about Matt. "This red spy isn't doing anything."
