Look at this screenshot that I made few hours ago. See anything strange?

What is with these cakes, balloons and other birthday stuff?

Check the server again, it probably has a birthday mod. They had those in TFC also with Kazoos going and everything. I was like wtf at first, but it was kinda amusing.

Yea I just joined one like that too. Pretty odd. I remember when the TFC used to do that at christmas etc. Used to add something to the game.

Try killing a heavy; do burgers fly out of him instead of body parts?

I think I am safe to say, your the only person on the planet to ever type that phrase out.I cant stop laughing at it. Must be too late or something.

For sprays, follow this guide. Worked like a charm for my transparent spray.?

You can have transparency without going through all that, you dont even have to use VTFEdit. Using Paint.net just get your image and cut out the background and save it as an uncompressed 32-bit .tga file. Open up TF2 and import the spreay in the options -> multiplayer.

I'd like to see a longer range sentry, maybe have a longer range for each upgrade.

Edit: Today is TF's birthday, hence why the servers have party mode.

The games been out a year already? :|

Time flies.

Engineers next? :woot:

My favourite class. Clocked up 13 hours with that.

What do you guys see the updates to be? I cant really think of anything else to add to the engineer. Then again it could be anything. I someone has posted that the heavy was going to get a sandwich for a weapon replacement weeks ago, they would have been laughed off. So anythings possible :p

I actually thought it was cool in TFC how an engineers wrench added armour at the expense of wrench "ammo" - Something was satisfying about having a purpose to run around whacking your team mates :laugh:

Now I know armour has been taken out of TF2, but maybe a wrench that can add armour again (even temporarily, aka it starts ticking down after the engineer stops hitting)?

Doubt it very much though, like the Pyro +50HP, I think people would feel that was imbalanced. However I guess if every class could be "charged" with armour it may come across as fairer?

Probably a new level SG - Longer range but less powerful?

Faster charging, but less "health" teleporter?

Maybe something to replace the hand gun, it's pretty dire.

My bets are on a Wrench that makes things build and upgrade faster, but does 25/50% less damage.

It would help encourage offensive engineers while making spies more deadly, as most engineers will try and wrench a spy rather than switch to thier shotgun.

I think we can expect a totally different weapon to replace the shotgun if the Flaregun and Sandvich are anything to go by, what they'll do with the Pistol i'm not sure, maybe another pistol that leeches the victims ammo on hit and gives the engineer a small amount of metal?

The classes chosen so far have been Support->Offence->Defence so i think we'll probably be seeing the Spy get his unlocks next, with maybe a homage to the guy that created the Spy hoax page.

For the engineer perhaps a flame turret? Or even a new item altogether to build.

The spy I think should get his tranquilliser gun back, that was fun! :D. But for me, some special fireproof cloak. We all know how annoying it is to get into the enemy base and some pyro blasts you for a spy check and you set alight. Or a longer lasting cloak but you receive nothing but crits if you are hit while cloaked.

The possibilities are endless.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
