With Valentine’s Day just around the corner and in the spirit of bro-mance in the air South Africa’s TF2CSA kicked off their very first Ultiduo competition. 2 vs 2 is always fast and furious; the eliminations,  prelims and semi-finals have all been cracked through providing us with two clear finalists. Team OH NO! and Team Synergy will face off at 7pm CAT | 5pm GMT | 9am EST this Sunday [...]

What’s this? A number 4? Well, I never! Now, you say “But Hideous, these are only 6 items! Last week you had 10″ – and I say, sure, maybe I did. But then I say if I keep it to 10 every week I am going to run out of items. So now it’s 6 items. And now, you will read about them. YOU WILL READ.

Since the introduction of Valve’s online software distribution system in 2007 Steam has become the ubiquitous source for games in the PC market. It could be argued that Steam has removed the need for physical media altogether. Games initially purchased for your PC can now be installed (where available) on your mac without a second purchase. Your key setting and game saves are synced in the cloud ready and waiting [...]

And I’m back! It’s been a month, but hopefully I can keep up the weekly-ness now. This week we have everything from helmets, to softcaps and a rifle with a chain attached.

Congratulations, we have been awarded additional June 1968! Hold on . . . we’ve just been awarded June 1968 again? Wasn’t last month also June 1968? Thus continues the unbroken series of June 1968s that began long ago in mid-September 2007. Team Fortress time never changes. The spawn room calendars, as the Sandvich must constantly remind the Heavy, contain neither spies nor lies. The ongoing June 1968 overtime simply keeps [...]

The Administrator advised, in accordance with a long tradition of infrequent posts, that I keep this update brief lest I unduly distract any mercenaries from their ongoing, vital objectives. In a shocking display of activity not involving alcohol consumption, the intrepid Kritzkast hosts have provisionally recruited me, Sic Semper Tyranidus, to write a regular bi-weekly feature on this blog. Their drinking habits and ongoing attendance at the Soviet School for [...]

And so we have reached week 2 of the warehouse postings! It might be one day late, but as they say, better Nate than lever. Portable Death Ray The ever-lovely Svdl uses his modeling and texturing magic to bring us a more in-universe interpretation of a raygun. Rather than the outlandish steampunk items created by Weta Workshop, this actually looks like it could be from the same universe. The Limited [...]

MaxOfS2D burst into our YouTube lives just over a year ago. He’s managed to take a SNES title and our beloved TF2 and merge them into his own world of 3D animation, know as Earthbound Fortress 2. Between then and now he’s given us many little stories from dancing scouts to the love between a Medic and a Heavy. Rightly or wrongly he’s also picked up a reputation, possibly from [...]

Hey there, and welcome to the inaugural Weekly Warehouse post! This is a segment in which I’ll be going through some of the best Steam Warehouse submissions of the week, and hopefully some of the best underdogs that people have missed. Considering the month and how far we are away from the holidays, this first week will be dedicated to festive items. Click on the images to get to the [...]

As MittinsKittens said earlier, “It’s Kritzkast. Where the whole Podcast is basically a drinking game with some TF2 in it.” I couldn’t have put it better myself. This week Agro from KritzKast and Comedian from VanillaTV are going to have a little get together in London. It’s not a huge celebration of our combined awesomeness. No one-single-city is able to contain that much power without exploding like an over ripe [...]
