We’re talking with two of the winners of the 2017 Saxxy Awards, UEAKCrash and FryingDutchman. These lucky, but incredibly well deserving gents, along with a crowd that reads like the “who’s who” of TF2 creative endeavors for 2108,  will be heading off to see Valve’s new studio, just as soon as they can all get time off work.

Ding Dong the Inferno update is dead. Or to be more precise it has been put into a long slumber, as of Feb 14, though it is still possible to complete whatever contracts you’ve left over. It’s another Agro only show for this one, thought I’m getting better, not nearly half as mad sounding as last time. That is better, isn’t it? Also on the show: Metal Slug Fortress 2 Heart-mom […]

It almost doesn’t matter at this point if you’re into TF2 esports or not. There are just some people who have been knee deep in it for so long that they seem to transcend the question of whether or not it’s a good idea. One such person is B4nny. And we were lucky enough to get him to ourselves for nearly a whole hour. Also on the show: TF2 Pro […]

It’s been a long time since we’d had actual Royalty on the show. And for King Raja it’s been a long time since he’s been anywhere at all. At least his Youtube life has been on hold for a while. We took some time to find out what has been keeping him away, and what we can expect to see now that he’s looking to return. Don’t call it a […]

Ah 2017, what a year that was. Full of nightmares and updates. Well, update at least. Which is better than no update, let me tell you. How much better? Not much.

Agro is alone again, and feeling the pinch, what with the mammoth swell of updates and fixes. It’s enough to make a man yearn for a simpler time when nothing happened to anything anywhere. This episode was record on October 28th. Also on the show: Updates: October 23rd October 24th October 25th October 27th Engineer Update Teaser Trailer Jungle Inferno HUD hotfix Despair screenshot competition

October 21st 2017 will be the date that many players first started playing TF2. It was, by no coincidence also the time that the biggest update for Team Fortress 2 since unsliced bread dropped Jungle Inferno. All this pales into insignificance since it was also the day we finally got to have CeeJaey on the podcast.

Recorded just before the big update we realised this may sound a little peculiar now. If ever there’s a lesson to be learned here it’s “get the editing done while what you said is still true enough”.

After months of predictions that TF2 would have its massive update on October 6th…. we can finally report, that the wait is over, and it is legendary. Everything we’ve ever hoped for and more. So much more, in ways that we were unexpected and delightful. So much so that we’re just going to have to release it in chunks. Hot messing chunks that will rot your inners and mess with […]

I have found a kindred spirit.

Suspicions abound over an update to an application that may or may or not be a new version of TF2. Okay, it probably isn’t but you can’t blame me for getting excited. Although some of that is probably because I’ve got obla or fozzlm from ozfortress here. Link to ozfortress discord – https://discord.gg/dyudcxB (edit thanks to commenters) Also on the show: TF2 spawn redone in Unreal Engine 4 Gabe Gifts away his […]

No week in TF2 is complete without either a massive update, or a visit from UEAK Crash and Bonk Nickletoon. We lucked out and got both! Except without the update.

I don’t get to use superlatives enough anymore. Which is why I’m glad that I can finally say that we had a chance to talk this week with Geel. He is the co-owner of the three largest trading resources in Team Fortress 2; Scrap.tf Marketplace.tf and now finally Backpack.tf. It’s hard to see it any other way. Geel is the most important man in TF2 trading. Also on the show […]

Sigafoo is a man we’ve had on the show before. Yotts is a man who’s things we’ve had on the show before. Freelands is a man no show can hold for very long. Together they form (part of) RGL.GG, the answer to a question no-one asked but everyone was happy to listen to. Also on the show: Proposed Balance Changes SourceCBL the global ban list

YouTuber and hastily assembled potato lover, RTGame joins us this week. A week when Valve breaks their vow of silence to let us know they are still thinking about palm trees, tigers and vines. Not the wine type, though maybe them as well. Also on this week’s show: RTGame YouTube | Twitch | Twitter Update June 16th 2017 TF2 Blog Post on the Jungle Update!

For the longest time Europe has had one clear winner when it comes to TF2 esports. Unlike the big pay to complete kings of North America, this giant is free. Run exclusively by volunteers who selflessly give up their free time and energy so that the game they love has a place to be played. Recently the role of head admin has been divided in two, with one half falling […]

We’ve coaxed three of the /r/tf2/ mods out of their safe places to come talk about the subreddit that drives much of the community discussion around Team Fortress 2. Meeting these guys really puts it in balance, the level of sustained professionalism required to look after everyone, and keep this sub one of the best on reddit. Also on the show: SPUF (Steam User Forums) shutting down on June 5th […]

A bit of one on one time was called for this week. We spent it getting to know GermanPeter, the creator of Overtime, a parody love letter to both Team Fortress 2 and Undertale in game form. NHBL – Season 7 signups Medli20 – Earth Bonk German Peter – Overtime |  Twitter | YouTube Overtime let’s plays – Lambda Plus | Hiper | PepperoniPie

In case it’s not clear from the title, we have Skymin and MaxBox joining us on the show this week. Skymin is a brilliant YouTuber who makes her own SFM Thumb art, bursts into song at a moment’s notice and appears to have achieved the impossible. MaxBox used to be a hacker/script kiddie. He’s turned over a new leaf, chosen washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can […]

Never has a player been more infamous than stabby stabby. He is the old school spy, more myth than man.  The most French California has ever spawned. And now he’s here with us on this podcast, somewhere, probably.

I don’t think I’ve been quite so sad to see a LAN end as I was when hugs.tf finally packed up and everyone went their separate ways. The show here comes to you as it was recorded, live. I was joined by lor_is and Squirrel and we chatted about the event itself, the distinct lack of sleep everyone was getting and how much something like this means to the TF2 […]

At last, we finally get to talk to Chloemew. She’s had something of a massive rise in popularity, having seemingly come from nowhere to now be featured pretty much everywhere. Yeah, I’m looking at you Fenrir, and with your YT interview. We also pulled Teleportato (I’m worried that my spellcheck now knows how to autocorrect this) out from the post show MvM, he’s the one who always sends us to […]

Wack (no dot) and Agro (never has been a dot) are joined by Tobiased (SFM thumbmaker to the stars), to bring you news of: The update on 17th April Fight Songs, finally available in US and UK Amazon, and rest of the world Team Source and its current Contest Config Site

Peterscraps and Doomsday.exe are very definitely our guests on the show this week. A week that sees two updates, April 12th and April 13th (including a fix for all pre-Sandybridge processors). There are two ETF2L Experiment Cups, a Gamers Assembly viewing guide and two long lost artists return, Rammy and Hoo. Lastly, Nate confirms there’s to be a new animated short.

The top trio of Chronos, Uberchain and Agro are back togehter. There is much to discuss; from comic book lore to the work of Julien Renoult, TFC coming of age, a wet Pyro, Fresh Meat, MvM and Hugs dot TF.

There are two types of Heavies in this world; those that have beaten the cheesecake out of their opponents in a boxing ring and those that plan to do it tomorrow. We caught up with two such hardballs, Clayface and The Gentlemann’s Fedora, who have taken hand to face combat into a whole other level by creating the National Heavy Boxing League. A safe place for gentle persons of the […]

Valve have fiddled with the back end, upgrading and updating TF2 to the very latest SDK; 2013. This may seem like nothing to the layman but it means a great deal. For one thing, it broke Source Mod and for another it broke Macs. So there’s that going for it. Altogether it’s a very important step in the development of TF2, to bring it up to date smartly and allow […]

One month between updates is kinda a long time but that’s nothing when you’re a wizard, Harry. Speaking of wizards, Lunar Scythe joins us for the podcast this week. Also on the show: Duffy’s IRL Longwave 556pm completes 7 days PC Guia’s ‘5 Best Free-to-play’ Artvader’s TF2 voice lines Rap Battle

We answer all the big questions here on the show, like what is a loris and how do I catch my own? Actually, best not to since that’s probably illegal in most states. They are cute and cuddly and loris probably doesn’t want to be captured and forced to live in a small bucket under the stairs; kept in darkenss for nine months of the year and told to wear […]

There’s a new version of TF2 that’s just hit beta. It features all old levels, the original characters, completely unchanged gameplay and weapons from what you can play now. And somehow we’re all really rather pleased about this.

The magnificent twitch streamer Jewlander returns to furnish us with his wisdom. Which is lovely because he notices things other people take forever to see, then he kills those people before his disguise is blown. Admittedly there was a lot to see since Valentine’s day had Valve drop a massive love heart on the TF2 fandom by way of a massive pack of updates. Also, there is music coming to […]

In an effort to reach out to the community, we reached out the community, and got Wack.tf. That’s not a site, although it probably will be soon. In a show filled with sentences that probably should have ended a lot sooner than they did, I just wanted to say TF2 maps Winter 2017 Jam Void's maze Uberchain + Kichizone's thing Truck Robot thing Yotts' Phat Platt Dueling Badge TF2 Pancakes […]
