For many people Thanksgiving means family and friends, relaxing, drinking and turkey. For one of our guests it’s all about the potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes. This is not a reference to Admirable’s heritage, instead we welcome back UEAKCrash. Sharing the star dressing room with him is the many-time winner of Player of the Week, but first time guest host, Grizzly Berry. Updates Nov. 21st | Nov. 23rd Blog […]

Bandits approach a mountain village, but their chief decides to spare it until after the harvest because they had raided it before. The plan is overheard by a podcaster. Three podcasters ask Wiethoofd, the village elder and miller, for advice. He declares they should hire Sigafoo to defend the village. Since they have no money, Wiethoofd tells them to find hungry Sigafoo. Update – Nov. 14th Nov. 18th 6th Saxxy Awards […]

If you live in a place unlucky enough to have seasons, the weather's probably starting to turn into what meteorologists call "garbage," and like all of us, you're starting to think about a nice vacation to the tropics. And if you're also like us, you then start remembering how all those places have filthy water and enormous spiders and those weird little fish that crawl up your–anyway, the point is you're going nowhere.


So instead, we’re bringing the tropics to you, with a new tropical jungle-themed map we're working on! And we'd love the talented folks in the Workshop to join us!


For those of you already developing for existing community themes, good news: There's a lot you've already developed that we think will fit in perfectly with the tropical theme.


For the rest of you Workshop creators, consider this a call to action for all things tropical over the next few months: particles, maps, items and anything else. If you've got something tropical in mind, get cracking, because we'd love to see it. Don't forget to upvote your favorites in the Workshop!

Remember how in 2015 Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials came out, and we all agreed as a planet that we'd basically solved movies forever and never had to watch or make another one again? Well, it might finally be time to re-open the debate. Presenting your 2016 Saxxy Award winners.



So, our season has finally come to a close. We learned a lot as a team, and it was very fun. Though, I’ve learned quite a lot as a team leader as well. Here’s my advice as to what you should do. For one, always deal with toxicity in comms and other communication issues as openly and as soon as possible. This can always affect team reputation, gameplay, and relations. […]

Can you believe it, we’re at episode four hundred already? Why it seems like only eight years, two months and seventeen days since I was but a wee sprog thinking about the very possibility of spending every weekend between then and now recording a podcast about a game that, in all sincerity, I’m not all that good at. How time flies. But here we are, eight years, two months and seventeen […]

KritzKast has finally taken the leap and is making our edited shows available on YouTube. Since our shows are always edited down (sometimes to within an inch of their lives) we can't put up the original recordings. Instead we're asking you to provide artwork for the shows. Help us showcase the best of TF2's fan artwork.

I’m reliably informed that Lucario is a character from Pokémon. Something that you too may need to know one day so as not to be ostracised by the other people on your podcast. I speak from experience here, as Lucario and Ryan (who may also be a Pokémon for all I know) join us from Gameshock servers to talk about community TF2 and what it takes to make it in […]


Teaming up with Teemo and Ranch was possibly the best thing I’ve ever done. Okay, second best maybe… wait, there was that one time in Coventry. Hmm, well it was a good time at least. Two of the pleasantest people in TF2 at the moment. This is a super long show though, which can’t really be helped since even after I’d cut half of it out there were some things […]


This is the best time of the year. Especially if you live in a dwelling with the ghost of your former flatmate, haunting your every waking thought. Or if you like candy. Or both. I don’t think these activities are mutually exclusive. Speaking of exclusives, Jewlander returns to us from his hidden lair, under the stairs, firing flares, in his underwear. Not into his underwear. We’re not judging, but we’re […]

All I can think of saying is that I’m glad we don’t post pictures on the show notes anymore. Why is that anyway? I should have asked Chronos and Uberchain since they were on this show this week, but what with Vanilla.tf, SEA Jumping and Mr Slin’s Essay I clear forgot. Update – October 12 2016 Vanilla.tf SEA Jumphelp 2016 Tip of the Hats shirts mailed out State of TF2 – […]

Sleepingbear and CriticalFlaw are on this week. They give us the low down on some resin medals, find pumpkins in the TotH medals and explain the flaw in Washington State’s plan. I hear Sleepingbear is also pretty good at the trading too. You’d have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over those eyes. Or you could just pass him a heavy sheep while he […]


We’ve mentioned Omnibombulator and Wiethoofd many times on this show. The later has even been on; the former we could never seem to find. It turns out he was hiding in plain sight, in a small red car, wheeling around dustbowl. Who knew?
