Smoothing, An Advanced Demo Technique

Hein found a cool video that shows you how to take advantage of some of the advanced features of Team Fortress 2 demo playback. I didn’t even realize that many of these features even existed before this little tutorial.

Wolfgang Amadeus’s Spy Tutorial

Found this floating around on youtube this morning. I like the high class music, makes me feel like I could actually conquer a battlefield in a suit and look good doing it.

Team Fortress 2 - I, Spy

Found this over on Youtube this morning. I have copied the authors comments because yes, I am that lazy today.

..just a little something I’ve been working on for the last couple of weeks in my time off (after being inspired by EvilDaedalus’s vid); I’ve spent far too much time playing as a Spy, so I thought I’d throw together another video covering a few of the tactics I use :)

TF2 Unlock All Achievements Hack

Wilson posted a link in our IRC channel this morning that shows how the more casual gamer can get all the new TF2 achievements without playing the game.

Maybe you only play occasionally and wanted to be able to be on the same level as other players (to be fair) or you simply never play as Medic and just wanted to see the weapons for a few rounds of fun. Either way, we won’t judge you.

How To Grief in Team Fortress 2

This is a wonderful video showing the joy of healing and ubering a spy to wreak havoc on your own team. This guy also stole a page from Tendril and Lunk’s how to grief as engineer playbook. However, the idea of pushing engineers hadn’t occurred to me. Wonderful video, great work.

HowTo: Build a Sentry on Roof B of Gravel Pit

Most people that have played this game for a while have figured out that you can use the engineer’s buildings to get to unexpected places. This guy shows a proof of concept on how to build a gun on top of B’s house on Gravel Pit. For this to really be effective you will need to be quick and agile to get a gun up to level 1 before the doors open. Good work on the video.

Everything I Know About Spy

The Photoshop, a self proclaimed sneaky bastard and administrator of Nup! Squad Features, has put together a video showing off everything he knows about spy. N!SF is an Australian based clan who got their start winning a Nintendo Power sponsored, Goldeneye007 tournament on the Nintendo 64. Looks like they’ve been playing first person shooters since around 1997 and I’m glad they’re into Team Fortress 2. Without further ado, here’s the video.

TF2 Dispenser Papercraft

Found an article that was showing off the latest in paper craft, a project for creating a Team Fortress 2 dispenser. The blog post I found had some final images, but they included a link to a HiwayChile site with more detailed images and four PDF files that give exact dimensions and instructions for creating your own dispenser out of paper. Click the above image for a hi-res version.

Team Fortress 2 on Ubuntu Linux

halflifeonubuntu-large_022.png

I have been a huge Linux fan and exclusive user since 2000 due to the large sucking sound emanating from Redmond. Well TF2 came out, I got a new PC, I had to run windows. Have been with DJedi since before drawing a line in the sand I swore, that if TF2 every became anything more than vapor-wear, I would run windows to make it happen. The reward for throwing my morals to the wind was I finally got to play with my long time friends again.

Alas! I may still be able to salvage my soul from the bowels of Microsoft and still be able to enjoy quality online games with my friends. I ran across an article that shows Howto run Team Fortress 2 on Ubuntu Linux.

Who says you can’t play games on Linux? Of course you can! Well… not all of them, but at least some of the nicer ones, such as Half-Life 2, Counter Strike or Unreal Tournament. Today’s guide will teach you, step-by-step,
