So as any of you who listened to the podcast this week may have noticed, I've sponsored a TF2 community playdate next week. I absolutely loved TF2 back in the day but haven't played in probably 1 year 1/2. I'll try to get some practice in this weekend, but what advice would you guys have for a returning player? And what's a good class to play if you have experience but are rusty as hell? I used to love engie but listening to some of you that sounds like I'll just be bait.

(Just play Soldier)

Oh and turn on the "Ding" sound for when you hit someone in the multiplayer options

And don't worry about all the new weapons and gear, of which there are very, very many. Other than a few items (ahem, caber), they are all well balanced so you're not losing out on anything by not having them.

Not when the fiancee gives me the look.

Y'all know the look.

The look of "Stop playing your stupid video games and go to sleep, I have work in the morning, and so do you!"

Of course it is every day a play date. But not always with the gang of the podcast.
Just got my schedule and I am working during the it of course. Grmbl.

Is this happening on Stan's? How does one get in on the burning of the goodjerati, just show up and hope for an open seat?

Part of the issue might be Stan's is packed by the regulars when everyone shows up as it is.. This is a playdate for the 24 luckiest goodjers.

Podcast? There's a site outside this thread/server? [/deadpan]

Yep. We already have a play date every Monday, and usually the other weekdays too. Unless we're going to password protect the server to keep out the pubs -- or open up a second server -- it will be little different from a normal weeknight.

I dunno, I could imagine you looking in a mirror and saying that.

We can have Stans going and overflow into Kruegers nightsoil. giggle.

I was going to say we could password protect Stans for a night, but that might be the better idea.

Okay, so just so that I'm understanding...

Medics are the choice for newbies, but you need to understand who/when to heal.

It's not that you need to know when to heal. You should always heal, though you will need to learn which characters to primarily support/follow. Also, you'll need to learn when to use Ubers. But as to healing, that is relative free reign (except for all the spies, please don't heal them).

I think I tried two of those really popular UIs a while ago linked here, but I didn't like it (I think it was the one where the left and right bottom UI elements got narrower). The only thing I really want to change is as medic, I want my heal target box to be slightly lower and not block my center screen vision. Anything available for that?

This looked pretty cool I thought lol

Server suggestions:

* Remove Process and Standin from the auto-populated suggestions in UMC (so they're nominate-only)
* Add koth_trainsawlaser_b3 or whatever the latest version is, also as a nominate-only, so we have another screw-around-while-waiting-to-fill map

EDIT: Also please don't use Quick Fix when Uber or Kritz will help the team more .__.

Pubbies.

I think 2Fort is the real problem

So I was screwing around with Source Film Maker to make some screenshots and ended up with this... Not quite sure what I was going for, but I thought it was funny.

Last night = painfull. I think I am getting worse or we just had some real anti-engie mannes on the teams opposite of me. Psych was brutal as spy.

I am planning on fixing SM on my server today, sorry I've been so crap with that!

Medic-on-medic action is unnatural and goes against God.
