What are you talking about?

 

[DjD]

gotta try that training stuff, but somehow I cant start TF2 yet^^ "steam servers are busy handling ur reques blabla" w/e

 

[Mick-a-nator]

Where abouts do you access training and "offline mode"? TF2 says it has updated but I see no news on the library page, and no new entries on the menu.

 

[DjD]

well, I see the news, right click on "Team fortress 2" in the library and click news.
Otherwise, in the steam folder, delete Clientregistry.blob and restart steam, should work

I like the new interface: "Pyro, Why don't you give her a new shot"

MAC video with engineers new weapon
+ free t2 weekend
+ mac headphones for mac users god dammit


Anyone logging into the game from a Mac will receive a limited edition set of in-game earbuds to wear on any class. PC users won't technically receive anything by logging in from a PC, unless you like shooting at Mac users--in which case, consider this earbud promotion a new "shirts vs. skins"-style game mode.

[Mick-a-nator]

[Mick-a-nator]

[Pocket]

Gotta love the Apple.com-skinned update page.

I'm betting that engineer shotgun is the one with a laser-pointer of some sort on it so that you can direct your turret. For that kill icon folks found.

I'll see what GcfDiffer shows when I run it later today.
