It should come as no surprise to fans of the oldest-running Team Fortress 2 Spy lesson/shameless advertisement series that the first class to fall under the burning gaze of my evil eye is the Spy. Blessed with an ivory smile and a jewel-encrusted killing implement, the Spy embodies everything that makes video games rage-inducing. Think [...]
Two big things going on this October: 1. WiNG’s TF2 Spy Lesson #11 is out Yes, after much procrastinating, crying, and self-loathing, I’ve managed to scrape together the eleventh video in my ongoing failspy saga. While YouTube has done its best to completely and utterly fuck my attempts at artistic theft expression, the video works [...]
Yesterday, the dreams of Team Fortress 2 players the world over came true as the Polycount Update pack was released. With 65 new items added to the game, you’d imagine the TF2 community was ecstatic.
Optional and/or cosmetic updates to my game? I’ll have none of it! FORUM RAGE!!!
But, as Valve is wont to include, there was a catch.
A problem.
At least, that’s what one would believe if he were to read the dozens of complaint-ridden threads on SPUF, forewarning the impending death of Team Fortress 2.
What was this insult, that would bring about the End Days? What terrible tragedy could possibly befall the greatest Hat Simulator of all time?
It wasn’t a game-breaking bug, or the removal of an oft-beloved feature.
It was the optional Mann Co. Catalog and Store.
“Long-time” readers may remember that back in July, Top Tier Tactics featured its first (and thus far only) guest article, authored by Xiant. This collaboration was the result of a request by Xiant to share some of his work with T3.
After reading over his blog, Xiant’s Thoughts, I was quickly impressed with everything about it: great article ideas, well-written prose, and (of course) interesting takes on multiplayer gaming strategy. It would be an honor to have Xiant write something for Top Tier Tactics, I thought.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported this fundraiser.
For centuries, alchemists tried to turn base materials into gold. But as of tonight, you have all turned gold into something much greater: joy, comfort, hope, and love for thousands of children who need it most. Bless you all and cheers eternal.
It was awfully nice of Valve to institute a totally random system for distributing the Golden Wrench. It seemed so ingenious and fair… after all, I got one. But I had always wondered to myself, how can a system be both random, and fair to all time zones? How can a system with no daily drop caps be fair to all time zones, or sync with Valve’s planned day-by-day reveal of the Engineer update? Up until this point, I had assumed they were either geniuses or sorcerers. Or both. Of course, that was before the Steam Team Fortress 2 forums imploded with allegations that the system wasn’t random at all.
The bomb’s ticking. The objective is getting capped. There are spies everywhere. And Binerexis hasn’t a clue what to do! Luckily, this article might show you how to help him and other teammates out.
Diablo 3 is finally here, and after completing Normal difficulty, WiNGSPANTT is ready to unleash his review. Find out if the third installment is actually worth your time and money.
Xiant ventures into dangerous waters with his short analysis of the console vs. PC debate. Hopefully he succeeded in being equally kind and cruel to both sides.
If you’re playing Diablo 3 and don’t know what Elective Mode is, you’re essentially playing the dumbed-down default version. WiNG explains what this option does and why you need to enable it right now.
With Diablo 3′s real money auction house gearing up, many gamers are complaining about the influence of money in games. But the real problem isn’t rich kids or gold farmers, as WiNG explains.
Get a free, early taste of Path of Exile this weekend. WiNG shares the details of how you can participate in this bloody dungeon crawler without paying a single, goddamn cent.
