KritzKast #224: Hello Kevin and Goodbye Beta

Posted on: Jun 14th 2013 by Tempest

Running with our theme of promoting people who do charity events, we have Kevinispwn on the show this week. He is planning on doing a 25 hour stream of TF2. Because 24 hours, just isn’t enough. It will be happening on June 22nd on the Kritzkast servers and stream. Just head over to kritzkast.com/live to watch it unfold. As much as we’d love to, we can’t make the show all about [...]

300 hats

Posted on: Jun 12th 2013 by Chronos

So, recently, I had this conversation: Chronos: “I think 300 is a dumb movie.” Agro: “Funny you should mention that, we were -” Chronos: “It overglorified – and made entirely too popular – the current movie trend of  ’slow down whenever something happens on screen since we – as the audience – couldn’t possibly percieve anything at regular speed.’ ” Agro: “Sure.  Anyway, we were going to give out Lo-fis for - ” Chronos: “Further, [...]

KritzKast #223: Breaking news: nothing happens

Posted on: Jun 9th 2013 by Tempest

Yes this week has lots of things happened. However this isn’t the show for this week. Nope. This is the very late episode for last week and strangely enough, seemed like an empty week. That is until we tell you about the i49 qualifier games. A game where non-premiership teams can compete for free tickets to i49. If youre team wants to give it a ago, all the details can be [...]

KritzKast #222: Toppling Toys

Posted on: May 30th 2013 by DougRattmann

Its indigogo all the way this week with both US and Australia/New Zealand reaching their targets to bring teams to i49. While we’re on the topic of the UK’s biggest LAN party, someone is looking to set their friend up for a blind date there. Apparently she’s slim, about 5’6″ and into gaming. No words on how old she is but she is from Wales so take that into consideration before [...]

KritzKast #221: Crateception

Posted on: May 24th 2013 by Agro

Following on from our interview with Valve’s Andrew Wilson and the Robotic Boogaloo team we have two RBers join us for this week’s show: Heartsman (previously known as c**tsman) and NeoDement, co-auther of the brilliant guide of guides for making hats (and other items too, I guess). We shed a tear for the loss of such unusual effects as Emone and Electric Boogaloop but golf clap the sheer brilliance of [...]

KritzKast interviews Robotic Boogaloo

Posted on: May 16th 2013 by Agro

What do you do if you don’t work for valve but you really want to make an update for your favourite First Person Shooter? Some write emails, many grumble over the unfairness of it all but a select few plough on ahead and make their own fake update anyway. So it was with Robotic Boogaloo. Hats were made to a metallic theme, given quirky names and fun little descriptions. An SFM video was [...]

KritzKast #220: IAMA Cheese traitor

Posted on: May 14th 2013 by Tempest

It seems as though something big is on the horizon as we didn’t have an update this week. However we still had a tone of stuff to talk about Ranging from community actives to how much sweat valve need to make a good game. Trust me, if you listen to the episode it all makes. Plus now you can cool off with a nice glass of bonk. If they were still available in the [...]

KritzKast #219: Steampipe and Scandal

Posted on: May 9th 2013 by Agro

Steampipe has finally dropped and in case you haven’t noticed everyone survived. Wahoo. That’s not to say there wasn’t a need to immediately apply a  patch since sv_pure had gone mad and people weren’t allowed to spray their tags everywhere. Despite lots of things not breaking, P-REC, the auto-recording utility for comp players didn’t survive. There’s been a patch/download for it already though. While we’re still on the comp side of [...]
