OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

[Native Jovian]

Man, double drop week is certainly working out for me. I played for a few hours (three or four?) tonight and got: two fan o wars, a flipped trilby, a huntsman, a loch-n-load, an eyelander, and a dalokohs bar. Of course, the only one of those that was actually new for me was the fan o war(s), but more metal for crafting is always good. I also got about a half dozen achievements, including marathoning Attention Getter (light 100 people on fire with the flare gun) by spamming flares at everyone I could see. Went from zero progress to achieved in about three maps. I also got medic milestone 3 and got an ubersaw for it, though I already have a vintage one.

So, good TF2 night for me.

If I'm lucky, maybe Valve will eventually accept this one too.

That's a great idea. I never really understood why certain weapons don't taunt, especially when there's an easy analogue with another taunt in the same weapons slot.

Yeah. Well anyway, I have a second version that's up and going now.

It's a pretty steady version--but the problem is...I need some communities and servers to test it. I don't know if you guys would be up for that or not.

Woo, crafted a Sticky Jumper via tokens last night. Does crafting via tokens produce a weapon in that category that you don't already have (if you're missing any), or did I just manage to get lucky on my first try?

You managed to get lucky.

I managed to get lucky on my first try crafting a Fishcake.

In other news, I'm disabling the fast download server stuff for a bit: VGMusic.com's main webserver is down for unknown reasons, although given their responses to us, it sounds like an issue with their network or datacenter.

Stat tracking and SourceBans are also down due to it.

Live from Valve Software, it's the Saxxy Awards show!

Wednesday at 3:00pm PDT.

Reminder: The Saxxy Awards presentation starts in 30 minutes.

On a completely unrelated note, "We have a mandatory TF2 update coming later today. This is just a heads-up that it's coming." -- Eric Smith, Valve Software

GEE! I wonder what that could be!

It's probably a new batch of items or something.

[Powerlord]

It's probably a new batch of items or something.

Or more likely the Saxxy award melee weapon.

Also, sorry to say, GameMaster didn't win the Best Revenge category. :/

Winner for the Best Coordinated Combat category hasn't yet been announced, so Sir Prize still has a chance.

[Powerlord]

We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The notes are below.

-Eric

---------------------

Team Fortress 2

- Added the Saxxy

- Updated the kill icons

- Updated the vote system

---- Added a convar to prevent voting on the next level if one has already been set (sv_vote_issue_nextlevel_prevent_change)

---- Fixed scrambleteams resetting how many rounds have been played

-------- Updated mp_scrambleteams to support a parameter of 2, which prevents resetting the number of rounds that have been played

---- Fixed the server automatically creating votes while in training or using itemtest

I've just started the server updater.

Unfortunately not, but yeah, Sir Prize's and my video have a chance still.

[Mrs. Bark]

So far, I am disappoint.

[Powerlord]

As of today's updates, birds have started appearing in various maps (dustbowl and badlands at least). No idea what significance they have.

[ParanoidDrone]

Tinfoil hat squad says they're alluding to Meet the Medic, more precisely the teaser image at the end of the Director comic where a bunch of white birds are flying around.

Angry Birds coming to steam?

Also, I gotta say, Ballerina Spy was ROBBED.

Edit: AW fuck, Prize didn't win either. D:

[Powerlord]

Sad news, Sir Prize didn't win either. I thought his video was way better than the one that did. :/

Also, just in case you didn't know, I updated the servers a while back and restarted them.

I think Sir Prize and Gamemaster's videos were the only two I bothered to vote for, other than this random "TF2 is Just Awesome" one in the soundtrack category. It's a shame that they didn't win.

Finally

birds in tf2

ahahhaahhahah

AT LONG LAST! l HAVE RECLAIMED MY BIRTHRIGHT!~!

MY BACKBURNER GLOBAL AWARD HAS RETURNED TO ME!!

Also I am glad El Muchacho won Best Overall. It was a good vid.

[Powerlord]

I just found out to get the Youtube achievements, you have to actually access the video through Replays in TF2.

Granted, if I can get video conversion working again, I'll likely upload my 15-backstabs in one life on Degroot Keep video.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you word that differently?

[XeroZohar]

When you upload a video to youtube via TF2, the TF2 client tracks it. But it only updates the tracking information when you click "replays" in the menu. Thus it won't know to award the 100/1000/etc. achievements until you access the replays menu and possibly the uploaded video in question.
