OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

[Powerlord]

Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)

Fixed a bug with voice recording intermittently not recording after playing in a level for a while (Mac)

Fixed a rare client crash caused by text rendering (Mac)

Updated the server browser localization files

This was a client-only update, so the servers were not updated.

Also, if anyone is still looking for masks to craft the Saxton Hale Mask, I have Soldier, Heavy, and Engineer masks.

[Bahamut]

I'm getting a file not found error.

I'll take the Heavy and Engineer masks. What do you want for them?

[Krug]

Heh, you weren't kidding about the screenshot when you were sniper.

"FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUTTA HERE!"

[ParanoidDrone]

AAH MY SCREEN WHY DID YOU DO THAT

Looks like the Demo's dancing.

[Brushfire]

I'd say he is doing more of a Matrix Dodge than a dance.

[Powerlord]

Crates or metal... you know, the usual.

[Brushfire]

I am the King of Crates!!

[ParanoidDrone]

Crates or metal... you know, the usual.

Well today's your lucky day because I have OODLES of crates. (6 total, I think.)

I'll try to remember next time we're online at the same time.

[XeroZohar]

I know we have a few military people that play with us, so I just wanted to post here and say thank you for your service.

Since the deadline for scheduling the Highlander match is looming and Chili's busy, I made a bit of an executive decision and proposed Sunday, November 14 after 9:00 PM Eastern as a time for our match. I would have included Friday in that, but I'm pretty sure that would be unacceptably short notice for this sort of thing. Let's hope they respond.

(The server is located in Texas, right?)

Yes, in Dallas (as far as I can tell).

Edit:

Unrelated to the above, but I just found out you can paint the Heavy's Dealer's Visor and make it a color other than the hideous lime color it starts out.

Yesterday I was watching my bro play and he ended up playing on OCR's server for a good hour. I was trying to guess who's actually from OCR and who isn't but I could only notice Baha and later DS as part of the crew.

If you killed or got killed by a certain Shaclovv(qc), that was my bro =P He usually plays on the fort map so it was pretty hilarious watching him get lost in other maps then blown to pieces a few times.

I thought that name looked familiar!

Me, Wes, and all the others are glad to do what we do.

@Paranoid, I currently have 54 Crates.

I have another crate to give you.

I have another crate to give you.

If you're just giving crates away, I'll take one!

According to Chili, he officially submitted a proposed time for our Highlander match -- Sunday, November 14 at 9:30 PM Eastern. The other team will have to confirm it before it takes effect, which means there's still the possibility of getting a default time if they ignore it/don't respond. However, we can't say we didn't try.

[The Derrit]

no one answered my question about the highlander team anyone care to fill me in

i'm not trying to play or anything i just wanna know what the deal is with it

[ParanoidDrone]

ETF2L started a community Highlander challenge a few months ago. Basically, any group of 9-14 people who wished to enter and haven't competed above a certain level in competitive TF2 could join. AFAIK it's supposed to be a way for non-competitive TF2 players to compete to...see what competitive TF2 is like? I guess.

OCR had two teams, one of which is now out of the running.

[ParanoidDrone]

Yet another development in the Highlander tourney. I may as well be the team secretary.

[9:00 PM EST] translates to 00:00 over here, so that’s undoable. We could probably do 6:30PM eastern, or even the default etf2l time.

About the servers, we have a server here as well, and seeing as the event is european based, north and south america would have no preference as too where the match would be played. So my guess is the fairest way of doing this is one match in each server and then throwing a virtual coin to decide where a 3rd match would take place if it comes to it. Or all matches in an euro server where both pings would be aproximately the same.

(What self-respecting gamer group is unable to stay up until midnight? Seriously.)

I'm mostly posting this because I know Bonzai is on the west coast and is unavailable until 6 PM her time (hence the 9 PM EST suggestion, although the time officially submitted by Chili was 9:30), and as the Medic she's the player we really need to accommodate. Any suggestions?

[Lumpy]

Thanks for keeping us updated on the highlander stuff, Paranoid.

Anyway, we will need to have a group chat to see who can come at what times, and to remind everyone that this is coming up again. If the earliest we can get Bonzai is the time they claimed was too late for them, then I don't really see a way around that, unless there is a certain day within the acceptable time frame that Bonzai can make it. Frogg can't make it until a certain time too, right?

[ParanoidDrone]

I'm a halfway decent Medic, so I can sub in if needed, but with the caveat that I currently have much bigger issues to deal with at school.

Also, a reminder to everyone that's gotten used to the new Polycount items: Except for the Holy Mackerel, none of them are allowed in the tournament.

so pro the proest

[ParanoidDrone]

It's mostly because they were released mid-competition, not because they're imbalanced or anything.

Off topic: My Barrier Trio beats your Negative Man. SPECTACULAR POSE

EDIT: Come to think of it, the frying pan is probably allowed too since it has no special properties. Ditto for the Horsemann's axe, since it's just an Eyelander reskin. Not positive though.

In other news, remember the Engineer update? You know, the one that happened several months ago?

Well, I recorded a demo that day of my very first match on Upward. And then my laptop decided to go "WHARBLGARBL" and not work for several months. But today, I finally finished the process of taking the demo, recording it in FRAPS, adding commentary in After Effects, and uploading it to YouTube.

Silly Engineer, this update is for Spies!
