Thanks for mentioning our 1 vs all mod! :)
I like your podcast, keep up the good work.
You guys got mentioned on the TF2 Blog. Congratulations! :D
Congrats. Finally, you guys are known by the rest of the TF2 community. It's funny listening to you guys ramble about how Valve doesn't know you after the blog came out.
I guess Valve does like to tease people.
Haha! Your community weapons are on their way ;)
Hahahahah... figures... take a week off and we end up on the main site.
I've just got the news that you're on the TF2 blog. Everyone at the international TF2 podcast, Kritzkast is super happy for you (-8
Well done CP.
congratulations!
And about the halo, even if i had it, i wouldnt whant it...
It just looks kind of retarded on most classes, such as soldier, sniper, etc.
Woooo, I'm in this podcast :P
thanks for linking the 1vsAll and dead ringer spy guide :D
Great episode guys. Grats on the mention in the TF2 blog :D
And i have to agree with Bill... Hardcore fail at about 12 mins in. :P Anyway keep up the good work.
I can't agree that the people using the idler were as you say "Bad kids", because most people were persuaded into it by the big though "You won't get in trouble, it's not breaking any rules."
congats , finally
Lol, why is my name "The DSdude3"
Sweet action! I can get my halo again! Thanks guys!
Enjoying the show, it's currently on the discussion about the cheaters in TF2 and the halos and i have to say that my brother doesn't cheat, but somehow wasn't given the halos like he is a cheater, which he isn't to happy about. I have them but won't use them because i think it's silly, i mean why not give all the non-cheaters a choice of one hat, which would have been great since i'm dying for that 10 gallon white engie hat bigtime :D
(first time listener)
If valve decided that idling apps were against their tos then thats fine. take away the items. The problem is how valve dealt with the whole situation.
1- Calling idlers cheaters. We all know that people who use aim bots are cheaters, please dont put idlers in the same boat. idlers did not cheat in the least, no more then achievement farmers.
2- Giving out halos defeated the point of rare hats. now that the majority of players have a hat, they are no longer rare
3- Not punishing all idlers. valve only punished people who used the app, not the people who went to idle servers. Whats the difference? there is none, except that one doesnt waste so much electricity.
people who got rewarded are.
people who resisted the urge to use the idle app
people who didnt know about it
people who used idle servers.
4- You say idlers are whining, well don't be so one sided, people with halos believe they have some moral high ground.
5- Valve caused this, with the random unlock system. when you play tf2 for weeks with only getting kritzergs, then what else do you do.
if you want to use your cookie analogy then the mother would serve food randomly, one day you may get nothing, the next day you may only get a tub of salt. so the children would have to resort to stealing the cookie
6- Valve wasted time doing this. When theres more important things to get done, the various performance issues spring to mind.
if valve took away the weapons, people would of complained, ofcourse. But, valve didnt do just that, they pissed off a large portion of the community, for no good reason.
they just handled the whole situation badly.
i personally dont care that my weapons got taken away, its the attitude from people like you who mindlessly claim "they cheated".
Here, here Pearse Phillips!
flash player needs to be replaced. I can't skip to the middle :(
Great show, guys.
Guess what? YOU FINALLY GOT LINKED BY VALVE!!!
:)
i love how VALVe calls the podcast a TF2 related podcast, rather than a TF2 podcast, because really, it isnt.
If I hadn't checked the TF2 blog that day. I wouldn't be listening to the podcast now. :D
Like the call-ins. It was a little rough, but hope you keep that up in future episodes as I catch up.
I had no issues with the full episode.
[...] No, it's not French, it's LEGOs. Hundreds and hundreds of LEGOs. See, if TheOrangeDoor's name sounds familiar to you, it's probably because you heard about that time when he made a LEGO level 2 Sentry Gun that actually tracks motion and fires (relatively harmless) bullets at anything that moves. For serious. [...]
