The ambassador on the other hand is the only pistol I ever consider using. It's the fastest way to take out snipers with the razorback. Just headshot, then finish them off: they will have only 5 hp if they were at max.

I don't remember... did they switch it to a full crit? It was three shots Ambassador or not last time I remember bothering.

92
The problem with C&D and DR is that they force you to work more to manage your cloak, and any time you're managing your cloak you aren't, say, sapping a sentry as a demoman or pyro rounds the corner or backstabbing a medic.

Pretty much. I always get more done when I'm using the regular watch. Got into the bad habit of using the C&D for awhile. You start taking the cloak for granted and sit around too much waiting for times to strike instead of actually doing so. Switching back to the regular watch after that was the most refreshing time as spy I've ever had.

93
Spy is my main; I can regularly top scoreboards as it but I don't find it as fun as I used to. Also, its unlocks are all useless in a typical scenario so my playstyle hasn't changed at ALL with the update.

Ha. Totally. The Cloak and Dagger is at least good on Defend maps, but the Ambassador and Dead Ringer are really more gimmicky than useful.

Could always jump on Heavy. I always tend to think of Pyro as basically a faster heavy with less damage and less range. Ninja Heavies are scary.

94
I tend to shy away from spy because I get so stressed playing as him.  Funny enough my least stressful class is medic.

Kinda goes with the first law of spying: "Everyone is out to kill you. Even your own team."

At least as a medic it's only the other team.

Hrm hrm, party elections. Makes me wish I could cast anti-votes.

So. All the ideas I have for Engy unlocks are boring (especially those for countering Spies). Very boring. I trust Valve not to make the unlocks this boring.

Steam forums are of course in a tizzy about what the silly blog post today means.

Of course, if we decide to infer things from a silly blog post all I can infer from it is them making TF2 100% more boring! So you may be right, maybe.

97
Gah, I'd be nice if they actually announced this stuff.

Crafting has changed again. Only takes 2 items to make 1 scrap now.

You can decraft all your metal back down to scrap metal.

And all the community items have recipes now. Quoting from the steam forums they are:

Kritzkrieg + Bonk! = Crit-a-Cola
Charge 'n Targe + Razorback = Gunboats
Sandvich + Bonk! = Dakolah's Bar
Equalizer + Eyelander = Homewrecker
Batter's Helmet + 2 Bonks! = Bonk Helmet
Sandman + Scrap Metal = Pain Train

And possibly more.

Isn't it all Source engine games?

They're doing a weird every Wednesday thing. The only things we know for sure that will be out for Mac tomorrow are... Portal and Torchlight.

What's with all the XP and ranks? I thought this was like Team Fortress.

They're per round. So you always start at 1. As you level up during a round your synergy bonus gets better. So it doesn't really do anything for you, but makes the rest of your team better.

It utterly evades me why game developers ever think it's a good idea to cripple their games by not allowing dedicated servers.

The L&G team is working on them. (Of course they've been 'working' on them for awhile now. So expect dedicated L&G servers on a Valve Time schedule)

Why is there a rumor flying around that Valve is going to release the Engineer Update later this week? We'd be lucky to get the update next week. I wouldn't even begin to expect it until at least three weeks from now, and even then I doubt it. A month from now sounds about right to me.

Probably due to all the CS:S beta stuff, and Steam for Mac Launching tomorrow, or not. But those are important too. As for the actual Engineer Update, I'd probably expect it within the Month, although with everything else they've got going on, dunno.

Heavy Heavy Weapons Guy has a minigun that shoots flaming crockets.

103
Heavy Update:
Removed all guns, foods, and fists from the heavy. He now moves 200% faster.

This update is to encourage heavies to use their sheer girth to push enemies off of high points in order to kill them with cumulative fall damage.

Fast heavy with no weapons but fatty push? HELL YEAH. VALVE MAKE IT SO.

104
5. Pyro who dies all the time. Sadly, that's all of the above except number 3.

Not necessarily true, but I suppose having to rely on other people making mistakes is not a fun place to be.

I think Yahtzee gets hung up on trying to be fun and snide too often. Sometimes he says things and I'm like "that's funny, but it doesn't really tell me anything other than you don't like it."

Which doesn't exactly narrow it down considering how much he doesn't like, and for what reasons. I can rely on ZP to tell me what's bad, usually (I thought the Witcher was clunky and cheesy.) As for what's good....I don't think I've ever used his reviews to inform me on that.

Well ZP is a lot like a Let's Play. You aren't really watching it for the game. You're watching it cause you like hearing someone talk and say amusing things about the game.
