Speaking of mods, last night I tried playing TF2 dodgeball on a server. Haven't had this much fun in quite a while.

Game mode is two teams full of only pyros trying to compression blast homing crit rockets and nukes at each other.

With regards to PropHunt, it's okay. Kinda humourous at first, but it dies off when you're up against people who knows the maps off the top of their heads. In addition, the mod's a private mod and thus there are only a handful of servers - 3 of them are GamingMasters.co.uk's servers (which give me terrible ping), and one in the US which is always maxxed out.

edit: There's only one server for TF2 dodgeball. Server IP is 208.43.4.58:27015

Lol, I was playing dodgeball last night, really fun.

What Steam name do you use? Since there's only one server we might have collided heads last night. :p

LOL that looks a lot of fun. I could stick it on my clan's server if anyone in the UK fancies playing. It's only a 14 man server but big enough for some dodgeball :p

Unfortunately it's a private mod, so I highly doubt the same guy who wrote the mod would allow it to be used outside his own server.

Drop And Give Me Terror!

October 29, 2009 - The Soldier

At ease, you wastes of skin. The Powers That Be have commanded me to write another short missive?I'm told it will be broadcast on some manner of punch-card tube machine and read by the thin, stupid youth of today, who evidently ignored my past instructions to stop wasting their lives and do more push-ups.

When I inquired what this missive should contain, I was instructed only that it had something to do with an upcoming pagan moon worship festival, and that it should be "terrifying". Evidently, the youth of today enjoy being scared. Why? Because you don't know what real fear is. Get out a pen and write this in your poem books: I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach. If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America. The next time you visit your grandfather, take out your ipoot headbuds, pull up your goddamn pants, and ask him what a war is. If you're not standing in a puddle of your own Jarate by the time he's finished talking, you should ask him to start over, because you weren't paying attention.

So listen up! An update will arrive later today. There will be ghosts! There will be exploding pumpkins! You will receive achievements and candy prizes! And by God you will be frightened by it or I will give you something to be frightened about!

I got most of the achievements in normal play, but ended up just getting a guy to stand there to get the Gibus.

I dominated one guy with it, but right before that happened he unequipped it :rolleyes:

Edit: Oh yeah, the costume one was bugged for me, had to kill 3 spies for it to register.

    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these **** with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By JayZJay · Posted

      I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.
