This just made my day.

Oh shut up, you know it's true.

It was a good fight, but due to some "unclear rules" team McLovins is out of the tournament. I would've been alright with it had the other team not acted like a bunch of 8 year old jackasses, this happened as soon as the admin announced that they had won, THAT is what really pissed me off, and to know the admin did nothing about it is like a slap to the face.

But alas, what goes around, comes around, Team 22 lost today, or like a friend nicely put it "totally humiliated." I'm a good sport and all, but if you mess with my team, then obviously you mess with me, so let that be a lesson to all you.. punks. Maybe next time GS will have another TF2 (clear about rules) tourney, but hey atleast I got a shweet emblem out of it, so I bid you adieu, for now.. punks.

Huge thanks goes to my team for being just awesome, and sexy.

Yes, you're not seeing things, the title speaks the truth. DICE finally released the full patch today and from what I've seen, it doesn't disappoint.

Here's a list of places where you can get the mega patch (367MB) and below that you'll find a list of changes and additions made to the game.

Please let me know if any of the links don't work or if you've found a new download spot -- I'll update the section below when ever a new link pops up, but in the mean time, these will do. =)

FEATURES

• Added a new map - Highway Tampa.
• Added an autosave to kit customisations. After you customise a kit and spawn in with that kit, the customisation will be automatically saved until you change it and spawn in again. Note that you must spawn in with a particular kit for it to be saved.
• Titans will now spawn up to two gunships per side.
• Squad Leaders no longer have to resupply to re-equip destroyed drones.

CHANGES

• Exploit Fix: hardcoded the time limits of Orbital and EMP strikes.
• RDX Shotgun now detonates RDX, Motion Mines, AP Mines with minimum of 2 rounds.
• Ported EU Assault Rifle changes to the Best Buy unlock as well.
• Fixed LMG Left/Right Recoil.
• Revised EU Assault Rifle Recoil.
• Increased Clark rate of fire to match Herzog.
• Fixed PAC shotgun attachment recoil to match other Herzogs.
• Further adjustment to Squad Leader drones to prevent them accidentally killing the Squad Leader when deployed.
• Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops.
• Smoke from the CM3-N Radar Grenade deploys more quickly. The Radar range has been slightly increased and endures for the duration of the smoke effect.
• The CM3-N Radar Grenade may now be resupplied.
• The screening effectiveness of all smoke grenades has been significantly improved.
• Adjusted Talon heat source position to improve Gunship missile balance.
• Beta Feedback: Fixed the placement of an AA gun on Highway Tampa.
• Beta Feedback: Improved the visuals of the swimming pool on Highway Tampa.

Man it's been a while since my last post, but then again who reads this crap? Am I right? Am I right? Plus I procrastinate more than FEMA. So far I've gotten a new emblem, leveled my ass up and got myself into GameSpot's Team Fortress 2 tournament bonanza.

First round was tonight and It was Team 23 versus Team 24 (Team 24 is my team, or better known as The McLovins) the opposing dudes put up a good fight but in the end we prevailed, so kudos to both teams. Check out the schedule and results here. Wish me (and the team) luck.



Who doesn't want that shweet $200 Best Buy gift card? Shut up, I'm poor.

If you're a fan of the old school Team Fortress Classic, then obviously you love Team Fortress 2, right? I mean come on, you have to.. you better.. or I'll throw something at you. Here's a tech demo for the game, it covers a few interesting details about the design decisions and other neat stuff.

Head on over to the video section and rate it maybe? perhaps even a comment or two?
