What about the weekend after that? Or any other weekend?

And I'm going to be a total buzzkill, but how do we know that the donations will actually go to the charity and not just to the organizers?

I'm all for charity streams, but I don't know who you are, and you just made an account today, so it should be understandable that I'm a little suspicious. :/

On the other hand, since you are new to tf.tv, there was a big 48-hour charity stream for One Step Camp in March. It involved a lot of work and a lot of people, so you may want to talk to some of the people who were involved if you're serious about this.

The idea is kind of neat, but the app requests far too many permissions for what it does.
Please do not request permissions you do not need.

EDIT: I don't know how to make the spoiler tag not take up so much space, sorry. :<

But by that logic, sniper frag videos are "just" clicking on people's heads...

I agree with gr8stalin that the bloopers at the end seemed a little longer than necessary. The blooper clips themselves were interesting, but they seemed a bit tacked on and lacked the flow of the rest of the video.

That's the only criticism I had really. Overall, it was pretty good. I quite liked the music and weapon switching sync at 1:30. :)

Great content, camera angles, and editing! Looking forward to more videos. :)

1) Pick/ban is not completely new; it already exists in Dota. Yes, it's not exactly the same, but the general architecture already exists.

2) Mumble is most certainly not going to be involved in an official Valve lobby option.
Subsequently, the selection system is probably going to be much simpler than "everyone has to unanimously agree on all the choices."

3) Your example of testing a new map is not exactly the same. If Valve wanted to test a map, they could simply roll it out to all the players by adding it to the official map list.

An enormous amount of data would be gathered even if few people play the map because it sucks (which in itself is data!) without any sort of manual effort on the map tester's part.

This last part is precisely what Valve is trying to do with an official pick/ban system: collect a vast amount of data from the large and diverse player base.

Not necessarily for all games. The Dota2 meta changes all the time, and it seems like that is the primary game that Robin is using for comparison.

Dota2 has over a hundred heroes and a very rough estimate of the weapon count is probably around 200 weapons, so it doesn't seem like it would really be that much more complicated.

Whether or not a pick/ban system is appropriate is an entirely separate issue. I'm still unclear on what exactly the desired outcome of that is going to be.

I'm making a lot of Dota2 references as it certainly seems like that this new Valve interest in comp TF2 is influenced by the wild success of both pub and comp Dota2, and I'm thrilled to see that they are considering HL as an option, even if lots of 6s players don't like it as much.

I actually prefer NIU_NIU's layout and darker color scheme over the lighter tf.tv theme.

What I was trying to say is that, depending on how attached tf.tv is to its current color scheme, NIU_NIU may want to consider having a light theme available as an option.

Otherwise, if no one cares, I think that what NIU_NIU has presented so far is definitely an improvement (both layout and color scheme).

Embedded version:

I really like the revised icons (black vs. split red/blue) and the color scheme fits into the current tf.tv theme very nicely.

NIU_NIU's stuff is also pretty nice although it would require somewhat of a theme change from tf.tv, which may not desirable depending on how much tf.tv has established its "brand."

This is really nice! I agree that class icons would be better and that the soldier should probably be holding the rocket launcher, since right now the silhouette almost like a Heavy.

I actually think the color scheme looks nice, but if this were to be included in official tf.tv streams, you might want to have it match the lighter theme that is already in use.

i am also good at the photoshop

Also, I don't see why Fog isn't allowed to ban whatever he wants on his servers just as seanbud is allowed to ban whomever he wants from his stream chat.

If you're going to be an ass on everyone's thread, you could at least do it on your own account instead of hiding behind an alt.

Just posting to let you know that I have enjoyed your demo reviews for scout and have found them to be very informative.

I am also glad to see you apologize to Kohaku and for offering to remove the VOD. I don't mind a harsh review, but it was uncalled for to do it on someone who didn't ask for one, so thank you for admitting fault and being respectful about the whole thing.

Stabby's video about backstab registration is probably relevant:

Don't upgrade too many parts though, because beyond a certain price range, you'd really be better off just getting a new computer if you can afford it.

But yes, cleaning the computer should definitely help. I started getting awful FPS in all games I was playing, so I opened the computer and cleaned out a massive wad of dust (mostly over the vent). Instant performance improvement.

the fuck is this

Bahaha, thank you.

I can't say I expected anything else.

What I don't understand is that OP isn't an alt? Why is this not a bad troll post? whyyyy
