Official Team Fortress 2 Game Nights (PC)

Damm left coasters - on the hat front there's some anecdotal stuff on the steam forums indicating that the rate they get given out is actually capped/server - popped a note to sourceop that if they can (its little more than a web script anyways), it might be interesting to try spreading the load over a couple of virtual idle servers, and see if the hat rate across the pair increases at all ... probably all old wives tales junk, but never know.

Played on a pub last night running a wonderful script that allowed people to choose hats; non-persistent, lost them when you respawned, but was great seeing a good portion of a server wearing them.

Having a bit of trouble getting the password word for the private server. Anyone else having trouble?

Welcome, did you send me a PM with your e-mail address? Since you are new to GWJ, you should continue playing on the pub and give the regulars time to get to know you. I do have a unofficial rule that people need to get out off coffee grinder status by participating here in the forums before I give them access to the private server.

I remember that mt clip is a RL goodjer friend (Nuean's maybe?). I've seen him on the public server several times and can vouch for him being a good guy, for what that's worth.

New KoTH maps + Dead Ringer = invicispy!

Since the maps are smaller, your enemies don't tend to be as suspicious of you for some reason. And since the ammo drops are more tightly packed, you can regenerate your cloak meter to full without having to flee very far.

I don't know how many times JaSer and Rebel "killed" me on oilfield, but it was an awful lot. :D

The first couple times it was funny. After the sixth time it was pretty annoying. Thought it was pretty funny when you circled around me, disguised as an engy, saying "shoot me!" [alltalk was on], just to mess with me.

Anyone have suggestions on how to counter the cloak and dagger? It seems the best you can hope for is to force the spy away for a few moments.

Overall the new maps were a blast. Except garbage dump should be tossed until it is balanced. The elevator is a death trap and the hill is far too easy to defend. My personal favorite was koth_lighthouse. There are plenty of avenues for attack and all of the classes can be used effectively. Just don't ask why the lighthouse is in the middle of a valley, with no ocean in sight, and it is barely taller then the surrounding buildings.

Fun with arrows.

Hey, guess who just idled his way to a new hat? Sure, it's not really a hat, so much as Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative (hatless sniper), but it's still something.

We need to see the Kukri taunt with this "hat."

Same taunt, invisible hat.

Yeah MT Clip is a RL friend of mine. He is a good guy and a great fit with GWJ. It's been killing me not being able to give him the server password so we can play together, especially since Monday and Friday are private server events now. I'll make sure he shoots you a PM Jake, I told him to PM the wrong person so that was my bad.

Hmm...

Honey I'm home! Anyone up for a random pickup game in the middle of a Sunday? Call 555-Mex for hot steamy explosions! You can ride my rocket right now, or be lathered in my warm medigun fluids for an appropiate fee! =D

... Do you charge for healing by the minute? If so, is the Announcer giving me a coupon when she tells me "We have been awarded additional time"?

I'll drop by later, big boy.

Shyn - congrats on Pyromancer! I saw this while noodling around in Steam.

Found a link to this cool training map.

Looks impressive

That looks like a really useful custom map. Cool video.

Thanks, tend to take out my work day frustrations by incinerating the masses on pubs, works well without audio or a mike. Once we finish renovations I'll hopefully be back to a proper desk where I can hear games again, rather than perched on an end table.

Pretty cool but it would probably mess up your stats.

yes, you need to train your medic'ing

Look again at the soldier shots at 2:00 -- his rockets don't come out at the trajectory that he's actually pointing. I think that might be a cheat in action.

Guys, we now have a GWJ TF2 Facebook group for all your Facebook users out there. A couple of us thought it would be fun to be able to put faces with names, stalk each other, etc. I know there is a thread somewhere for Goodjer pics, but it's huge and this one is pretty much just for the TF2 players. So if you're interested, search for us on Facebook groups (GWJ Stan's Lounge TF2 Crew). Or try this link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=123861218569&ref=nf I think you need to be logged into Facebook to see it. Oh, and make sure you let us know who you are on the discussion board in FB. I'll 'appoint' you your GWJ name.

Are you telling me this isn't a picture of Brainz? I'm shocked!
