by WiNGSPANTT 2 Comments

So it should come of no surprise that the deadly, haunted, exploding pumpkins in Team Fortress 2′s Halloween maps piqued his interest. On the one hand, they could kill him in a single hit. On the other hand… jumping is inherently fun.

One part tutorial, one part Michael Jackson tribute, and all parts hilarious, Xriloku’s video is as fun as his name is unpronounceable.
