Valve, stop that.

Well, a recent patch came out and they finally fixed that one bug that slipped under the radar since the spy update.

- Fixed a case where the Spy could start taunting and cloak at the same time

Sad that they went to town on it with an axe, I really loved this bug. Other changes include CSS beta tweaks like actually being able to see on dust and a supposed engine crash fix.

They also buffed the pyro just a little bit, his flamethrower does 10% more damage and afterburn has been reverted to 10 seconds. His flaregun also crits burning enemies at longer ranges. Exactly how long? Well, I’ve tested it a bit and found it to crit past roughly 800 units. That’s around one and a half granary containers or most of the 2fort bridge. Also, a flaregun crit does 90 damage, while a minicrit does around 40.

My name is Gabe Newell and this is my favorite class in TF2.

This one sent by Odin, an animated movie about TF2. Starts out fun but then it goes nuts. You’ll see what I mean.

Some pyro concept art.

Apparently made by a TF2 concept artist called Moby Francke. It’s probably a scrapped concept, as it doesn’t look like his head would actually fit inside his mask.

A very in-depth pyro tutorial made by Gamefr34k. 25 minutes long, it discusses just about everything you need to know when you’re playing the pyro. Now, you’ve probably heard of Don Newman and Huey Lewis. This movie has footage of them and other excellent pyros illustrating different pyro tactics.

I got this sent to me yesterday. Very well done machinima from Melee Insane Tactics. Starts out pretty slow but you really won’t expect what happens afterwards.

Note: it might be better if you go to the video page itself, youtube embeds do not include subtitles and you may have trouble understanding the narrator at the beginning of the movie.

Pyros, now with more gender confusion.

No comment. More on this on Zjildon’s original video page.

‘Nother teaser pic.

Well, the new vid is almost done, I could say you can expect it next weekend. Until then, I’ll be posting more teaser pics. I decided to not use a slight vignette to make the video look all ‘shiney’, as it makes certain scenes look way overexposed.
