Team Fortress Tuesdays 2008-11-18 - Still Exists Edition
ScottyG \| 5:54 PM on 11.18.2008	6 comments

A quick aside before I start this post... why is the only PC category "Games for Windows"? Are the people behind Destructoid a bunch of *nix and Mac haters? ;)

Hello! Time again for another edition of Team Fortress Tuesdays! Now, I know you're all very excited about Left 4 Dead (or any other number of games), but I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you that those games will still be here tomorrow whereas TFT is only once a week. <3

Apologies for the brief post, but I had a long day at work and amazingly for once didn't get a chance to post this during the day. We do have 4 maps all ready to be tried out:

- arena_sundown - looks pretty good, hopefully its as good as the arena map we played last week.
- ctf_blackhole - has a mad science feel that I think TF2 would work well with
- cp_hellion - best looking of the bunch this week, I pray its optimized
- ctf_steamroll - I will be dissapointed if this map doesnt live up to its namesake

So take a break from the new games, please be sure to have the maps downloaded in advance, and have some fun with us. BONK!

@Aerox:
Actually, I played a round of L4D then some TFT. One map crashed the server sadly, but the other three weren't too bad. It was good times... shame you missed it. :p

At the moment pretty much all of my few local friends who actually play games are dinks who now spend all of their time playing WoW. So, feel free to look me up and send an invite to play games. ^_^

Hello! <3

Bit about me. I've been a gamer for the most of my life. When I was seven and waiting for my parents to pick me up from piano lessons, the teacher's two sons showed me Super Mario Bros 2. Needless to say I never learned to play the piano very well...

I've flip-flopped several times between consoles and PCs. I generally love non-generic FPS games, puzzlers (Tetris is probably my favourite game of all time) and platformers of all shapes and sizes. I tolerate RPGs, but usually don't bother because I just don't have the time to invest in them.

I'm one of those freaks that regard FF7 and Ocarina of Time as merely average. That might be partly because I'm biased against the first round of 3D games that generally looked and played like crap compared to the 2d games at the time (during that generation I was a PC gamer, where they actually could do decent 3D at the time). By no means are they bad games, but plenty of games have done just as well and actually looked good in the process.

Yeah yeah, graphics aren't everything. But as important as gameplay is, looks still matter. It doesn't have to be the best looking thing around, but it at least has to be passable.

I tried to be a collector for awhile, but realized there was no market where I lived and gave that up. Currently I have an NES, SNES, GameBoy/GameBoy Colour/GameBoy Advance SP, DS, a 360, and of course my lovely gaming PC. ^_^
