Be warned, I pwn.

:p

I'll maybe be on tonight, if I ain't going out on the drink and hunt for women. Pretty skint and I need to pay for a leeds ticket soon. I notice your off to T, I've been the last 3 years and am giving it a miss for leeds this year.

Nah just a ticket to go to leeds... :rofl:

Yeah man, leeds festival. Cool stuff (Y)

If you want low pings, play on local servers. I always go on GameArena servers.

Just then I finally got both medic and pyro's extra weapons.

BestGN, Internode and GameArena are all good.

I prefer to stay away from the servers with instant respawn though, can make it hard to progress into a base (you kill a guy, by the time you get to the top of the stairs you're on, he's respawned and is shooting at you again)

Probably another reason why they put health pack and ammo on top of the spiral ramps.

  • 3 weeks later...

The Medic update/achievements were released on April 29th

The Pyro update/achievements were released on June 19th.

I am guessing the Heavy update/achievements will be due sometime around August 24th (going on a rough average).

Just thought I'd create this topic and throw it out there for discussion :p

so any news on what the updates are? :p i know the pyro additions got me to start using pyro again. the flare gun is a blast. here's hoping to interesting upgrades for the heavy!

and speaking of tf2 i'm refreshing my install right now :/ damn thing kept validating the files and wouldn't launch the game.... so annoying.

I want my engineer achievements. :(

I think it will be some time until we get engineer achievements because, frankly speaking, they're very powerful. Granted, a good Spy can take them down but put a Pyro there who fires a blast at anyone who comes near a sentry and you're pretty much covered. And if you have a lot of engineers who build a cluster of sentries at one point and Dispensers nearby them to replenish and then build Teleporters around key areas in the map, you have one hell of a defensive strategy.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
