KritzKast the TF2 gaming podcast

At the risk of invoking the wrath of the ghost of Gene Roddenberry, KK75 is boldly going where no TF2 based podcast has gone before; to the Team Fronteer. Thing is it's not that kind of fronteer. We're talking cowboys and injins here. Welcome to the world of the 1850s, where men are men and cows are scared.

The day is finally here. The Engie update has been Leaked. revealed and Released. With so many new toys to play with We struggled to keep it all in one episode. In fact. we couldn't. So this week we talk about all the New Toys the Engineer got, The change to game mechanics and the events surrounding the Golden Wrenches. Even after all that, there is still more for us to talk about next week too. T...

What's this golden wrench you speak of? Well We don't know either. or at least we didn't when we recorded. But we do know about the API, Wiki and Polycount Pack. That's right, its been a busy week for valve and the fans. But i think this next week is going to be even more busy.

Tempest takes a turn on the subs bench and lets Agro and Chronos charge headlong into the U.S. TF2 Competitive scene. Their guides for the evening are bcarr (from CommFT) and Chris Schetter (from tgbf.tv).

Well E3 is over and valve really pulled a fast one on us. Stealing the show with the news of steam features spreading onto the PS3. Plus we talk about the recent updates, Blog Post, have a mull through your emails and bring you the winner of the T-shirt contest. All of this without the use of Postman Pat. How we will make it? only one way to find out.

TF2 is finally out for the Apple Mac! Join us and witness the first ever brawl between Jobs and Hale. Who's your money on; the skinny guy in a black turtle neck, or the tanned Australian with more chest hair than a barrel full of monkeys?

Time Magazine's Person of the year in 2006 was "you" the people of the internet. This time, Chemical Alia joins us to celebrate "you" the fans of TF2 and the fans of KritzKast.

Valve's own Robin Walker becomes our key contributor this week. We paw through his e-mail to us looking to glean every morsel of information. Replete, we lay back, rubbing our collective tummies to the dulcet, drunken tones of Avarice as he sets us up with the (wet) t-shirt contest.

We've gone from the usual to the absurd.  Neither B00bies nor Agro could make it for this episode so we've temporarily promoted Postman Pat to the position of presenter.  This week we see that Mac has a long way to go to beat the power of the PC.  We tentatively skate around the rat hole that is games-as-art and the ultimate weapon is devised - the unholy haggis!

Robin is up to his old tricks, as usual, the troll. Now we are to believe there's a horse on the TF2 dev team and hats are their only regard.  Not to be outdone KritzKast has their own alcohol induced tricks, as usual.  EA are competing against Activision to be the greediest gits in gaming, as usual.  The modding community has gone nuts, as usual,  over the merger of Porta...

Robin Walker sobers up just in time to see the rest of us knock down another. Chronos gets his Primeval badge, even though he's off doing nice things for his mother. Agro throws his HomeWrecker out of the pram. Tempest observes the migration of the lesser spotted Spy Crab and B00bies doesn't give a shit about the ESEA dropping TF2, just so long as he gets to make use of his community wre...

Three updates in three days, you can bet your life we've got things to talk about. Though obsess may have been a better word given that the air-blast has been changed and both scouts and heavies have had buffs. If you were planning on drinking along with this one you'd better have your shots lined up! Gaming Heads show off their Heavy model and we have some brilliant fan content too; all shiny and...

Are you sick of idling, dreaming of getting a hat dropped?  Do you want to play instead of sitting in an empty server? Well have no fear. Now Valve has pushed people out of the idling servers and back into the game. What do we think of this?  Well you'll have to listen to find out about Faucets, leaky valves, Linux talk, lots of fan art and......well......Blowback Mountain.

So impressed are we that PCFormat are coughing up some official Valve TF2 merch for the winner of the "Questions of FireSlash" contest, we've decided to drop a T-shirt of our own into the goodie bag too.  Speaking of which, Agro and B00bies fire up the KritzKast BBQ to grill FireSlash, the founding creator of TF2Stats.net on all things statistical and a few things WAR! too.  Were it not...

Valve are listening! Valve are listening!" This gleeful cry erupted from Tempest's lips on more than one occasion on the fateful day that your KritzKast presenters received their community weapons.  It has been a good week for TF2ers on the whole. There's been an official Blog update; the contents of which will feel very familiar to our listeners but there's a few new bits too. There's a spec...

Yes to celebrate the death and undead rebirth of Jesus we are....what are we doing? Well nothing unusual. Just Tempest and B00bies chillin, Talking about fake updates, community videos and thinking of all the things valve could give us for our engineer update. well if they are not going to give us Easter mode, or chocolate eggs. what else are we meant to do?

True Scotsman, almightlybob, slips into his tartan kilt to join the ranks of KritzKast's usual line up. Together they wade through the mire that is the day-time television's misconception of gamers, the begining of micro transitions (B00bies, "take a drink") and a wealth of TF2 & Krizkast Fan artwork and videos. More content than Arthur Dent had ever fitted between two slices of bread in all h...

Tempest begged me not to tell anyone but he's had a virus or two. I'm bad at keeping secrets, unlike Valve. The Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) that we reported last week turns out to be a GlaD0S Screen of imminent Death (GSoID). Valve are waving a glass piñata above our heads, filled with community made weapons, hats and masks. Rumours abound over a new game mode while others are quashed with solid i...

This week we are join by not 1, but 2 guests. As we promised we also have an announcement for you all and lets just say our guests have something to do with it. We also talk about how steam is making its way onto the Mac along with TF2 and other valve games, Gabe's BSOD incident and answer all your emails. Aren't we good to you?

1 week before the Game developers conference and valve have done it again. Leaks everywhere, Portal 2, Steam on the Mac. While we wait for them to become official, We've got a blog post about the engineer and So many videos that if you played them all back to back, it would be longer than this show. I think. or maybe not.

Kicking off with two minor steam updates seems a fairly innocuous beginning to the best KritzKast episode this year. Steam lets their new carbon fibre client slide into open beta in the same week that TF2Stats.net shows off their Blacklist Updater. Drunken_f00l submits to an interview by KritzKast's almost sober minds before the Demoshark takes everyone's heads.

Tempest is obsessed with the 100, Chronos salivates over the 25, Valve has forgiven the PS3 and B00bies just wants the TF2Craft to end. Take a drink.

Love is in the air as we record on valentines day. So we decide to have a date live on the show. In this episode we spread all the love of TF2 to with all of you. We also bring up a few videos and sexist stereotypes in TF2. Plus stay tuned to the end when we have 2 announcements for you all. There's just so much love, we can't keep it in any longer.

This week valve reveals the runners up for the propaganda, we sift through a few of out favourites and point out where valve messed up. TF2 gets a few updates, including fixes to doublecross and watch tower maps and the introduction of Highlander mode. Monday Night Combat is swept aside as a TF2 wannabe and there are two epic wallpapers by the fans, for the fans.

McGee you say? Crazy Legs you say? Yes that's right, we waive goodbye to crazy legs forever and march forward with 2 blog posts, 2 updates and a heap and questions from you guys. Not to mention revealing the winner of the Audiosurf contest.
