I'll try to keep it short and sweet because I have a lot to do to prepare.Basically, are are losing our dedicated box and in turn all of the servers on it because we haven't fulfilled our end of the sponsorship deal in terms of bringing them more customers. I was able to discuss a different deal with Clutchkill, it's obviously not going to be as amazing as our previous deal, but we still get to keep servers for both the clans and the public. We will get 5 shared sponsored servers and get to keep...  More >>

As promised, we dedicated episode 3 to customs… mainly custom maps.  With a special guest interview with Milky, we had plenty to discuss.  Remember, we don’t need a special show to talk about customs, so if you have something cool you’ve made, make sure we know about it so that we can mention it on the show! Listen to Episode 3 - Customs Custom Everywhere As some of you may already know, we came under fire from another podcast, Control Point, for some questionable comments...  More >>

I know many of you have been having concerns and issues with our servers lately, so I thought I'd take care of many of those issues this weekend.Over the course of tonight and tomorrow, I will be manually re-installing the servers one at a time to get a nice fresh start, we have a lot of unused plugins from months ago as well as out of date maps which could use some clean up. Hopefully going back to a stock setting and slowly tweaking it will take care of those lag issues many of you have been having.I...  More >>

Team Fortress 2 Fixed backburner's flame critical hits not being recalculated after collision. This meant that it would check if the target was looking away once and after that the flame could score a critical hit again even if the orientation changed Added back some damage falloff to the Pyro's flamethrower. Not nearly as extreme as it was before the Pyro class pack Fixed bug that caused Demomen to take a small amount of extra damage from their own grenades and fly farther using them Fixed...  More >>

Well it's 4:30pm CST and the big pyro update has just hit the wire, just startup your TF2 and it will update.  Unfortunately I'm at work and won't get to experience it until late tonight I would highlight the significant parts of the update like I usually do, but the whole damn thing would be yellow.  I for one will be especially burned by the 'Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets.  Does not affect rocket jumps'.This whole thing looks to be a big game changer,...  More >>

As many of you know, the amazing Pyro update is being released later today so I thought I'd fill you in on some of my plans for the servers.-Currently our servers seem to be delisted from both the custom and internet tabs on Steam, the reason for this is unknown at this time, however we have a backup plan in order to be relisted! I will get a new set of IPs for all of our servers if the delisting cannot be reversed. I understand it will be a pain in the ass for those who are already used to our IPs,...  More >>

Hey guys. Great news! Episode 1 is finally here.

Despite the recent idea suggestion, I've discussed the idea of a Highlander server before and I'm happy to announce that the idea has finally been put live!I am currently working on any bugs that are coming up so I hope you can bear with me in the mean time. Considering the lack of server 5 use, I've decided to change our once beloved NOM NOM server into the new Highlander server with obvious class and slot limits, now this is where I need the community's help. I need map suggestions and lots of...  More >>
