Official Team Fortress 2 Game Nights (PC)

*Glares at tboon for not mentioning this to me.*

TIL:

Escape from Team Fortress TV Series

Gary, Simon and Alisa - three friends who haven't seen each other in years - have reunited for a game night. Unfortunately, game night turns into them being transported against their will inside Team Fortress II - a popular, cartoon-world shoot-em'-up where blood, gore and death are the main currency. Oh, and hats. With Alisa captured, Gary and Simon must join forces with a group of other "normies" - people have who have been sucked into the game - to try and rescue her and maybe, just maybe, get back to their regular lives.

No real other details. Looks like it's been around for a while and never saw the light of day.

I loved playing again! It's amazing how much this game has held up, going into another decade.

A few of us were talking in the Discord about reviving TF2 nights for us olds -- not a weekly thing like we did a decade ago, but more like a monthly session. Any general interest? We could make it easy to remember as well, just like the last Monday night of the month.

Two last Mondays have come and gone since this fateful post...

So, putting this out there: Monday night March 2, 2020 9PM EDT comms on Discord (however that works). Be there or whatever, I'm not your dad. Will ping Phish so I don't get glared at again.

I think I scheduled an event in the Team Fortress 2 steam group.

They probably ended up on 2Fort. Without a map timeout and no one able to score, they were stuck there forever.

I don't think they ever fixed that. The last 2 we did I also created events but they never popped.

I'll be there.

Looks like a Comcast outage means I’ll be sitting this one out. Next time!

Eh, I didn't see anybody playing. Maybe next time.

Did anybody play? It was my sons birthday so I couldn't get on.

Of course, right after that post I moved, and my gaming computer still isn't connected yet

It's OK, we will try again soon! Even I missed because work sucked on Monday and I did not get home until after 9!

Kudos to Phish as well as Nuean and Thunder who look like they jumped into TF2 for a few minutes, presumably to see if anyone else was on!

In the future I will be more perstering thorough in informing folks. Or someone else can try to set something up too. I am the worst at this sort of thing.

Apparently we are all the worst at this sort of thing

I am guessing spy gave him the virus. RIP

It's gonna be weird not hearing new things from the Soilder, then again I don't doubt Valve has a few dozen vocal performances he did, hidden away. I look forward to seeing what crazy, amazing things we haven't heard from the soldier yet, and may he rest in peace.

Awesome. But no need for it to only be in May. It should just stay on the official maps.

Agreed, I thought it an amazing tribute and then I read it was only through May and that left me sad.

Apparently they just released 3 unreleased intro songs: https://valvestudioorchestra.bandcam....

Also, you can listen to all the original songs for free on this page: https://valvestudioorchestra.bandcam....

Man this brings me back to refresh fortress days. Isn't it about time for our next TF2 night? How about Monday?

Aww, I missed that the voice actor for the Soldier had passed away.

It looks like the "Fight Songs" album is on Spotify, and they added those three songs to the album.

lol remember when I suggested a monthly TF2 night and then promptly forgot about it

I can probably do some TF2 night.

Trying to figure out if this is clever wordplay or a typo.

I could be down for some TF2night.

With Flaming, I always assume clever wordplay. Whether intentional or not

Play dumb enough, and people will think you're not dumb when you are dumb. S.M. ART.

It was intentional, but then I didn't show up.

Monday 7/27? Or another night of the week?

My x-mas tree.
