I like the narrow corridors, it's more or less balanced with the fact that there are so many paths. And with a 5-point push/pull map, you're going to have stalemates, true with granary, true with well, true with badlands, true with fastlane... all great maps!

They get stalematey (arr) when there isn't much thought going into attack or defense. To get through those bottlenecks successfully you have to coordinate or hope there is a critical mass of hopeless pubbies on the other side. I agree with Krueger, it's the nature of the beast.

Teamwork on TF2? That's preposterous

But it might be HATTES!

I just fired up steam and the TF2 page says that I last played on June 26.

Going to cram some food in my face hole, make a cocktail and then work on my respawn skillz, yo!

Update broke my TF2...

Server crashed :(. Wow, lots and lots of pubbies, grr, lol.

Hooray they fixed jarate!

Edit: also, comic

Edit Edit: holy crap, strange hattes

Another update, another broken sourcemod.

Unfortunately there's not a fixed version out yet, I'll get it updated tomorrow when it's released.

Is the Steam cloud broken for anyone else? Can't play on any servers due to errors...

Crate #60 contains Strange Disciplinary Action, Loose Cannon, Fan O'War and a Pomson 6000 Strangifier, and strange part: taunt kills[i]

NOooooooooooo....... taunt kill tracker in salvaged crate......... noooooooooo

People were talking all night about oddities with connections, not being able to make an announcement, not connecting to the item server, etc.

So, a standard TF2 update evening?

A Summer Shades strangifier? What the? Does the strange version count how many times you perform a David Caruso glasses-pull or something?

Admit it, you won't stop until you have the taunt kill tracker on all of the weapons.

Hey usually they save this stuff for Friday nights.

And my dream of a strange whip

So the Chemistry Sets will apply a strange effect?

You need to collect all of the weapons for the chemistry set (every one requires a strange weapon, some of them pretty hard to obtain) and you get something to make a specific hat strange. Each hat has it's own required ingredients. It smells like a gold sink to me.

I'd smell fantastic even if I was gold, thank you very much.

Not sure how I've missed this crate all the time. But only noticed it now..
Thanks Evilseed! (I guess better late than never...)
Traded for a key and got a Strange Splendid Screen out of it. Too bad, no bacon grease!

To make a strange all father you need a strange festive grenade launcher. It's trading for 10 - 12 keys. I don't think so valve.

Oh and thanks for the crash to desktop update valve it's awesome!!

As brian pointed out to me, the stranges required for the recipes aren't the same every time. I've seen other stranges in that recipe. And the crashing thing I think is if you have a custom hud. YOu have to turn off the 3D hud models, that's what happened to me.

The 3d HUD thing looks awful and grainy for me, I turned it off :7

Good games tonight, I'm becoming convinced that engineer should not be played by anyone that doesn't know what they're doing.

I'm not quite sure what to say about this. Apparently I interrupted something.

I'm crying tears of joy. That looks so amazing.

Edit: Just realized looking through his YouTube videos, this is coming from the guy who did "Practical Problems", much more excited now.

Wow, those are really good.

BTW I found my reaction when I dominate ukick (every day pretty much)

That is pretty much how I imagine Mex looking all the time. Ladies love the Banderas mullet

That said, is it bad that this made me think of ctf_trains?
