KritzKast the TF2 gaming podcast

This week we are reverting back into kids again. Somebody has stuffed our toy boxes with TF2 Goodies. Imagine being a child and handed lazer guns designed in the 50's. You don't need to imagine. Its real. after we're done playing with pew pew guns, We'll take a trip to the arcade and play Team Fortress Arcade. Yeah, that's right. get your coins ready for an evening of Arcade gaming TF style. Then...

Still riding the wave that was KritzKast Con 3, Tempest, Agro, B00bies, Postman Pat and Thumbelina find themselves at Chez Agro for a special recording. Quite how 3 presenters manage to share one mic, you don't want to know. Agro modestly explains why he'll never accpet a duel again. The creepy "Meet the Medic" outtakes are examined and we speculate over the trading reforms and Dark Horse Comics.

You'd think that nothing happened this week. That is a huge problem. Loads of stuff happened this week that needs more attention that they got. We here at kritzkast have taken it upon ourselves to change that. Take the Lo-Fi group for example, They are offering an evening with Robin Walker in exchange for your donations to childs play. If that wasn't enough, we'll tell you who Valves latest employ...

You may not think it, but we may have uncovered the greatest buff ever.....how ever we properly haven't. What we do have is all the little parts you think we missed from the uber update. yeah, you thought we didn't notice the taunts or blog update, well you were wrong. Not only did we notice that, we also noticed all the summer coolers lying about the place. We also slightly noticed a pile of tick...

There's a very international feeling to this week's episode. We use En Ex from the TF2 wiki as a human shield against the Chinese TF2 rip-off, Final Combat. All the while those crazy Australians are capping for a cause. The Germans are releasing a huge update to GangGarrison2 and a there's an entire world of maps under examination. Oh, and the blog is covered in dove poop, how very American.

You've been waiting for it. so have we. After a week of wondering and contemplating, we are going to tell you what the something big is. But not until we have given you all the latest news first. This week, we get to find out who the winners of the saxxy awards are. Have a first look at TF2 Parkour, tell you how to increase your friends list and try to work out, why the hell there are pigeons on o...

Due to popular demand we're not going to be singing this week. Instead this episode is overflowing with information, you can't have caught it all. Hidden items in Valve's updates. A secret mixup match with Robin Walker, KritzKast and some of the best and luckiest TF2 players in the world. A mountain of promo items added to the game. The final voting on the Saxxy awards and the joining of TF2TV and...

Episode 119...remind me, is that significant in some way? Oh yeah. it was the 119th update that valve celebrated, not 100th. So we are doing the same. We saved our musical from the clutches of episode 100 and now it can be yours to listen to. That right, the Kritzkast musical is here to stay.

This week, all we seem to be talking about is integration. How you tube is now integrated into steam and how that effects the saxxy awards. not to mention we can finally see steam integrated into the PS3. We talk with hideous who has had his hat models integrated into the game. Plus we let you know about pubcomp who want to integrate pub and pro players. wow, that's a lot of integration. Most peop...

Jeff eXtine of eXtelevision joins us as a guest host. With his expert guidance we work our way through the murky underbelly of US competitive play and into the redeeming arms of the heavy at the last sandvich supper. The biggest topic this week is the new replay service and the myriad of ways to win a Saxxy. eXtine and Postman Pat are both accomplished cinematographers in their own fields so you'd...

Ah, Spring is in the air but it's not all giant candy and bunny rabbits. This sunny weather also brings us men willing to slash down from their mighty steeds then cover those bloody head wounds with lovely hats. This would be enough to please us but the chance of discovering a secret stash of goodies is just too tempting. It may be fate that the group responsible for translating Steam into several...

This week we have videos, fixes, betrayal and hats but it would be impossible have a show without mentioning Portal 2. Even at KritzKast, the home of TF2 podcasting, we've found ourselves reaching for our twin portal launcher more than once. Thankfully there is still some part of us that remains true to the fortress.

It finally happened. the first update to TF2 that didn't involve some variety of head garment. So what do we get in exchange for the lack of hats. I'll tell you, Mountains of new functionality, Features from the Beta and balances to newish weapons. But thats not all, We've got portal 2 stuff, CommFT stuff and an interview with robin walker to talk about. All this and we still make time to chat wit...

After a week of odd shaped potatoes, We finally try and put all the pieces of the Valve puzzle together, Only to find out it has nothing to do with Team Fortress at all. But don't worry, There is still a mountain of things for us to play with, A huge pile of blog posts, The Total raised in the charity drive, CommFT's highlander event. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. Listen now and we'll also throw in an inter...

The Holy Stick, The Scottish Bush and the grenade sandvitch. Just some of the items randomly generated from the TF2 Random Item Generator. Tune into this episode to hear countless other random items we would love to have fun with. While your at it, You'll also find out about the $300,000 Valve raised for charity, How to get heat maps on your map and The secret behind the potato. Confused? I am...a...

We invited The Political Gamer to take Tempest's place to ferret out every last drop of intelligence about his recent visit to Valve HQ. We discover some secret plans for Linux, iOS, Portal 2 and crates. Japan is a focus once again but this time TF2 gives us the chance to donate our money to the American Red Cross in exchange for a little head bling and the first One Hundred dollar hat. We learn t...

What would you do with $2200? Buy your first car, start a collage fund, or trade it all for a hat? I know what I'd do, I'd use half of it to buy 500 keys for 500 crates then I'd spread the rest evenly between Doug Church, CommFT and KritzKast.

Japan has been hit with natural disasters so awful that the country looks to have been ravaged by Godzilla. In a terrible case of bad timing TF2 sees a cross-over with Total War: Shogun 2. On a happier note we have been flooded with community content in the form of TF2logs.com, TF2 the Gathering, an interview with OneMoreUser - creator of "The Demo Knight" and so very much more.

Do you hear the rumblings? That would be the sound of pros and pubs battling it out again for the grand title. Meanwhile gabe gives out microtransactions and his password, homefront gives the soldier a blindfold and TF2trivia gives tempest a grilling.

The time of reckoning is upon us. Lil Chew Chew is out there, Hunting for you. Dare you get in his way? We did, in the name of podkasting. This week we look at the 3 new community maps added to the game, have our minds bent by a spy, talk about eurothunder tryouts and get a visitor from saturn. too silly for you, worry not, we've also delved into a Theseus looking at TF2, Achievements, hats and ho...

Chemical Alia continues her one woman rampage, this time re-gendering the Spy. KritzKomics sees edition one on the shelves, just in case you need to buy your loved one something to thank them for buying you the Portal 2 pre-order. If all that isn't enough mental fodder you can chew on our listener mail and wash it all down with a refreshing bottle of Mann Co's Saxton Ale!

This week has been packed with loads of stuff flying under the radar. “Like what?” You say. How about not 1 but 2 interviews coming from VALVe? Really, you want more? Well how about a Pubbers vs Pro match, European style? Want, MORE? I’ll tell you what; we'll go through the mountain of new changes in the beta, absolutely free. Now that's what i call value for money. Now that's what I call a week i...

A fiery hand rose from the blanket of darkness, The power of its magic swirled around it like a tornado of wonder and mystery.....wait a second, This isn't a fantasy game. So why is Valve adding in fantasy weapons? That's because of rift, its lastest crossover promotion. How do we feel about said weapons. Only 1 way to find out, sink your teeth into this episode and you'll also get solider soldier...

Pat from the BonusEXP podcast joins us this week. Monday Night Combat moves from console to Steam and drops some socks off on the way. VALVe may be ushering in a new DDoS attack free era and TF2Ware goes open source. For all those playing the drinking game, charge your glasses for the e-mails as both B00bies and Agro go off on their usual classless rants.

We've made it pass the horrible hundred though we seem to have taken a few injuries. B00bies has fallen, for the moment, to that terrible thing called 'work' and Postman Pat is M.I.A. presumed to be a dog's dinner. We soldier on as best we can. Not flinching as we report on the plethora of patches, bug fixes and maps VALVe force on us. Standing stoic in the face of a sticky-jumping demoman, like a...
