Team Fortress 2 'Pyromania update' happening this week
Following the intriguing but not exactly specific Team Fortress 2 news last week, Valve has come right out and said that "Meet the Pyro" is finally going to debut on Wednesday. For now, though, we're getting free updates during the build up to the reveal and all is right with the world. Day one of the Pyromania update introduces a new game mode titled Doomsday in which one team attempts to launch a rocket while the other naturally tries to prevent that from occurring. I haven't seen it in action yet, but it sounds like I might finally have another go-to mode that isn't Payload. Time to reinstall Team Fortress 2. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)It's not so much that it was uninstalled as I didn't get around to reinstalling it after recent issues with my PC. It's kind of a big game. Hooray! Now hopefully we can convince the admins to delete all of the terrible maps on the Destructoid server to start up Doomsday maps. I uninstall TF2 once in a while. Playing on different servers, playing on custom maps, listening to custom sounds and round end music eventually takes up a lot of space. At one point, my TF2 install was around 15 GB. 4:15 PM on 06.18.2013 Free Pinball FX2 table coming for Steam usersZen Studios, the minds behind the Pinball FX series, will be bringing their Sorcerers Lair table for free to all Pinball FX2 Steam users starting June 21, 2013.
