You can post about highlander here, just make a thread etc. This policy only affects the news posts, which get similar traffic to regular threads anyway.

My parents said "stay in and we will do some lovely family stuff". I haven't done that for years so I thought sure, why not.

They were pissed silly and singing "How You Remind Me" by 11pm.

In my opinion the idea is probably more to do with the view of the future.

If TF2 ever does get to an e-sport level, even a small one, that will be on the back of 6v6 or whatever similar mode Valve creates with MM. Highlander has been a popular format for people to play, but has never been a popular one for fans or viewers or really had any top level engagement. As well as the pure nightmare of 9 players per team being an esport logistically, there has never been any evidence that HL has a 'fan-base' rather than just players. And an e-sport that justifies content like this requires a fan-base, high level competition, LANs, and obviously requires viewers etc.

For a site that is really driving competitive TF2 forward, imo it makes perfect sense to choose the gamemode that appears to have the most potential (especially with MM being 6v6) and attempt to legitimise that. Dropping Highlander, lower level 6s, 4s, A:R, and any other game-mode allows the site to focus on the one mode with the most potential and also means that new viewers, players, fans etc don't get split up and therefore minimised.

Without even touching on the actual issue this should be obvious. If you put content you consider inferior on the same pedestal as your top content, it devalues the pedestal itself. You dilute the amount of quality content and decrease the overall value of what's on the site.

For instance if we put my 9 year old brother's poetry in the British Classic Poetry Anthology 2016, it wouldn't devalue the other pieces of work when taken as their own but "Me and My Poo" sure wouldn't help it sell. Not drawing comparisons in terms of quality of content, but you understand how it pertains to the more general question you were asking.

My webcam sucks. Gonna buy a new one.

By the way, this isn't some money-grab from sin by any stretch of the imagination. I get the majority of the revenue from these videos and we'll try not to make the ads as intrusive. Just didn't quite know how to set them as it's a new video format compared to all his other stuff.

I don't know if you guys have watched it, but my voice is about 2% of the content. It's a classic interview kinda video rather than a back-and-forth discussion.

I've started a new interview series, which will feature some of the top names in the competitive TF2 scene. Focusing on their history, any noteworthy moments in their TF2 career, their opinions and current events, On The Point will be longer interviews where I will be getting in-depth with TF2 competitive stars.

Here is the first one, with b4nny.

Every few weeks I'll aim to make another and I'll use this thread, the youtube comments section and any tweets @SideshowGaming to decide who the next guest will be.

You can also throw out suggestions for interesting questions once I have confirmed the guest for the next episode. I want the community to have a hand in getting to know the elite a little better!

Hope you enjoy, feedback is always appreciated ofc.

We had the same tree when I was young for around 5 years. Used to dig it up from the allotments each December and pot it inside. Got a fake one when my little sister was born, used that one ever since.

Odd decision. Will be an interesting season though.

Yeah great meta where some of the classes literally never get played. They shouldn't enforce one class for the duration of a game because only half the classes are versatile enough.

cl1 also makes sniper a full-time choice which is a snoozefest and should be avoided. Weapon bans could be implemented but the weird thing with tf2 is that just by banning one weapon you can totally fuck a class - this could be improved and it's something that would be p interesting but simply due to the effort of making a good system I don't think they'll go down this route.

thank skeltal clause

Yeah enigma should make an official tftv discord for scrim finding :o)

Similar problems in Logitech mice normally point to a break in the mouse wire.

Black sheep, dark horse same thing. It's a light-deprived farmyard mammal.
