Thought it was my video card crapping out because I've spilled water on the keyboard before (it's a laptop) but all my other games seem to work fine .. its just with TF2. :blink:

Yeah that would be nice. I think Valve are hesitant to make another TC map though because of the bad rep that Hydra gets. I've never seen a map clear a server out quite like Hydra can sometimes. Would be great to see another Attack/Defend or TC map though.

Man, I liked playing Hydro back in the day. Although, I will admit that I haven't played a single game in Hydro since coming back to the game a few weeks ago.

Why are people on trade servers retarded? I wanted the monday night combat set, but don't really want the game since I already have too many games that I don't have time to play. So I'm in a trade server, offering 3-4 keys for the set. Someone opens up the trade window and puts up the MNC set asking for Bills hat. I say I don't have Bills hat, I only have keys and refined. He says ok, 8 keys then... I keep trying to tell him MNC is not worth 8 keys and he keeps insisting it is. So I put up 8 keys, just to mess with him, and tell him to please explain to me how a free bonus for a game that costs $15 that is still available, is worth $20 worth of keys. Yeah, he didn't reply :rolleyes:

Even more promo items, and the art style can now be classed as having officially left the building, and travelled to another continent. This is for preordering Rift.

Axe is called 'Sharpened Volcano Fragment,' for the Pyro, same stats as Axtinguisher.

Stick is called 'Sun-on-a-stick,' for the Scout, same stats as the Boston Basher.

That headgear is for your character in Rift, available via an achievement in TF2 apparently.

Those items completely destroy any remnants of the TF2 art style that TF2 used to have.... :/

I fail to see how the addition of these items ruins the artstyle further, they're a damn sight less intrusive than Unusuals or bright white bunny ears.

Let's not be reactionary here people; consider that we know that Valve are working on a new content release, and we have a new precendent in the form of promo items with unique stats.

Are they really unique, or are they a hint at what is to come? That's what interests me the most.

Now the items are in game. The stats got changed.

Axe: Sets people on fire, -20% damage

Stick: +35% damage, -45% damage vs non burning players.

Also they will be craftable after the promo.

Sounds like there were good bug fixes too.

Gay, looks like I will only be able to craft the items after the promo cause I don't have windows to buy rift

Are you serious? you want to spend $50 for promo items just to have them a month before other people? :blink: Can't you just buy it from a web browser, if you really wanted to? Why do you need windows?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By zikalify · Posted

      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 P. · Posted

      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.
