Had a lot of fun pugging a1 of this map, and this version looks even better. Keep up the awesome work!

We have not made any final decisions yet. There may be a poll similar to the current HL poll to address maps and weapons.

Smobo, Terry Crews, and I are the new admins. I don't use tf.tv much, but I think we are pretty recognizable in the UGC community. Anyway, the difference is that previously UGC allocated basically one admin to 6s, and now there are at least four dedicated to improving it. We're not just going to be sitting around doing nothing like the previous poster implied.

UGC has hired three new admins specifically for their 6v6 division. Expect big changes over the coming months.

Hey guys!

Aero and I are reviving the IRC pug (Pick-Up Game) channel tf2.mix.nahl to give players an alternative to lobbies for focusing on competitive self-improvement. This channel was started many seasons ago to give HL players in the Steel to Gold skill range a place to find consistent, competitive games, and that's the spirit we hope to keep alive. We guarantee that any player new to the channel will be picked right away for their first pug.

IRC can be intimidating at first, but it's easy to learn. If you're unfamiliar, there are tons of people here capable of walking you through it, and there are no dumb questions.

We're looking to make this a permanent fixture in the TF2 community, so we want this channel to reflect what players want to get out of it. Hopefully we can return to the early days of mix.nahl when it would run 10 pugs a day every weekend with two servers running at once! The best way to make that happen is to collect as much feedback as possible. New maps? rtv enabled? captain prerequisites? Post your thoughts and suggestions here!

Please support us by joining our steam group, inviting your friends, throwing #tf2.mix.nahl in your steam username, and most importantly adding up this weekend!

The revival begins this Friday and Saturday, standard scrim time (~8pm EST) and will run as long as there are people in the channel looking to pug. Spread the word and leave feedback here or add me or Aero! Let's play some Highlander!

Just when you thought no company was worse than valve at counting.

You can't really compare this to a "frag vid." It's an entirely different thing. I think it worked well at what it was going for, and I would certainly watch more if you continued making them at this quality.

Is it that difficult to understand? Did you read it?

He's saying the entire economy would change with these robots. If everything is made by robots, why should we bother selling stuff for money? Why would we need money anymore? These robots could create an abundance of goods and services for no pay, so instead of worrying about an economy everything could be free, or dealt out to everyone as they need it. The only people left to "work" would be creative minds: artists and singers, etc., and everyone would essentially live their whole life as if they were retired with an endless source of "social security"

Not sure I agree, but that's what he meant.

What kind of support do you want?
Would a single person here play Valve's 6s lobbies? Think about it: minimal (if ANY) weapon bans and class limits, and you'd be playing a lot of games with casuals before your ranking gets high enough to play each other.

I can't think of any significant support Valve could realistically offer with their miniscule TF2 team that would satisfy the competitive community.

You have the logic backwards anyway: Why should they give anything to the guys who have been playing the game for 7 years without "getting what they actually want" from Valve. Those players are the kind of people who won't quit this game any time soon (I'd know, I'm one of them). The vast majority of TF2 players are people who will never play more than 100 hours. They'll move on to another game unless they're heavily catered to because they're looking for a casual online experience. If Valve is worried about losing TF2 players, the competitive community is the LEAST of their worries for sure. Would you quit the game if these lobbies were only aimed at pub players? We are the only subsection of the TF2 community that Valve has zero incentive to support.

He spends most of the beginning of this stream talking about the sticky nerfs from a while ago and competitive balance vs pub balance, but essentially he's saying: If you make an arbitrary ruleset that results in 4/9 classes and 10% of the weapons being used--when pubs see all classes and 80% of weapons regularly--is the problem that the game doesn't conform well to your ruleset, or that your ruleset doesn't fit in the game?

I'm not saying 6s is inherently horrible, but Valve has no incentive to redesign their game around it or to attempt to promote it to pub players who don't understand its restrictions.

Currently trying this. Team Fortress now has to redownload a bunch of stuff so it's gonna take a while.

Thanks everyone who has offered suggestions so far.

eve hud

I still have the crash after uninstalling eve hud and after reinstalling.

Since Monday, whenever I start TF2, I get a "hl2.exe has stopped working" right when the main menu finishes loading every time. I have a scrim tonight so I really need to get this fixed ASAP and nothing I've tried worked (verifying game cache, doing everything in #4: http://teamfortress.tv/thread/19242/bizarre-tf2-crash).

Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this?

The entire Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack is great. I also really like the TF2 soundtrack.

Fair enough. With about half that many hours I can believe that.
