So the entire team will be voiced by Nolan North? Damn. But afterall he's good at what he is doing.

Wow…that's actually quite sad to hear :( I loved all of them (though sense Sniper is a scheduling issue I assume he'll be back); and it's a real shame to hear that two of them have lost some of their voice ability to illness. I hope that they do well and live to the fullest, both in their VA careers and lives.

And we still have Rick May (albet with throat cancer. Which is a damn shame) Nathan Vetterlein, Dennis Bateman, John Patrick Lowrie, and Robin Atkin Downes don't we?

That's 6 out of the original 9.

Unless tragedy strikes I don't see the TF2 VA crew dropping like flies……

Anyways

So what do you guys think up the update?

We've seen the first day with new taunts and whatnot, but how do you think the rest of it is gonna play out? What will be of the new bread monsters (new gamemode?) or the promised new weapons? Or what about something we don't see coming?

I for one think that Valve's gonna out do themselves this time. We've waited a long time and I have faith that they're gonna make it worth it!

Since this short was not made entirely by Valve, I think soon we going to see some other shorts about other stories, who knows? Maybe we gonna see the End of the Line too! Afterall they promised an update to it. And this could be an excellent time to procrea- I mean shorts related daily updates.

Sadly that kind of thing isn't isolated to TF2. Breen's voice actor died after Half life 2 release and Bill's VA was put in jail

Bill from Left 4 Dead?

What for?

I have a good news and a bad one. I start with the good. Bill's VA Jim French is not in jail. Bad news, nobody knows where he is. Some guys with enough sense of humor said he was attacked by his wife who turned into a witch or he was shot down by police officers 'coz they thought he gonna turn into a zombie. Or maybe he is just went off to Los Angeles as they planned. Anyway he's not dead (presumably) and not in jail (for sure).

Looking up his V.A I have to be honest I'm surprised how old he actually is.

Sure I know he plays an old man, but 1929? Damn.

So, anyone find it funny that the spy and the pyro share the same voice actor?

Aside of the "Oh my God! I'm burnt myself!" joke, no.

Hey guys! The Day 2 preview is out!

And look! Another short! (Excuse the double-post)

I must get the some strange bread bites when they come out… I MUST PUNCH PEOPLE WITH MUTANT BREAD GLOVES!

OH NO, IT'S HERE. ALREADY.

VALVE SAYS NO TO 3.

CRAFT ALL OF THE WEAPONS

EDIT: Oh yeah, the Steam servers are going to be a bit slow because of this, so…

- The Axtinguisher now does mini-crit damage from the front and full crit damage from behind to burning targets

What happened to cause this? Did SPUF raeg again?

I swear, the conga taunt is the greatest thing to happen since the video.

I got the Snack Attack, the Air Striker, and the Classic now. :D

I got the bread jarate and the bread bites… gotta say I am sad that the bread bites weren't strange when I unboxed them because those were the best bread weapons outta all of them.

>new update
>includes taunts

We have done nothing but conga for 3 hours.

What normal players see: update with lot of great new stuff.
What wiki contributors see: pain in ass, pain in ass everywhere.

Conga is amazing. Go to a friendly server. Enjoy the fun.

Hey guys! I noticed something while I edited the wiki. Currently 44 cosmetic items get in to the game by this update and only one crate, and this crate is containing only the bread weapons. I think this is a trap. While the taunts of course have crate but that's a different story. And the other crate is one type and containing only 4 item, unless if those are random. So, anyone of you got new weapons by drop anyway?

My Favorite FPS :)

Conga parties are the best thing ever!

Any of you got a sticky jumper for trade, I wanna craft a BASE Jumper?

You are not alone. So if anyone have 2 useless sticky jumper, we will be thankfully.

CONGAAA!

Also only if you give me the Ali baba's wee booties

Deal!

Speaking of alli baba's wee booties, anyone who wants mine can have em'.

But yeah, all of the new weapons and taunts look great.

Though considering the bread monsters, I thought that there was going to be a new game mode or something…ah but whatever, this update looks awesome. :3

Anyone got any favorite new weps?

I have yet to dertrmine my own favorite.

That B.A.S.E jumper alongside with the Air Strike rocket launcher is looks like a new way to bring death and fear to the battlefield, just think about the new strategies. Though that's why I want the sticky jumper.

Yeah, I tried searching the community market.

I find it strange how some weapons are worth practically nothing yet others are a small fortune.

Also, I've been trying crafting, and it's telling me "blueprint cannot be found" yet I'm using all the things it's telling me too.

Maybe just some issue. I hope it will be fixed soon.

Well thankfully it was.

aaaand guess who just cRAFTED ALL OF THE NEW WEAPONS!

God it pays off to be a hoarder.

I am the only one who misses the day 3? I mean it's 2:25 am here and offically the third will come at 2 am, here. But there is nothing!

Took them long enough. Hopefully it'll kill me because people actually used their brains to sneak up on me, or ambush me while I'm reloading or something. Rather than me just dying because I was within 5 meters of a wall at any point. Seriously, old version, you will not be missed. There was never anything that felt fun about being killed by it. I'll be using the thing to unclog my toilet in hell.

Oh, yeah, and I like all the other stuff in the update too. I only have the Bread Bite so far, and that was from a trade. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to squish all my weapons into metal as soon as I got a double-up after all…

Still conga dancing

I was thinking that it was going to be 3 days also, because that's how long the mercs were supposed to live. But of course, Valve can't count to 3.

But there are only two days, one for Love and one for War. Love was the taunts and War was the weapons.

Then please, just a comic, I don't care if it's just half as long as the Cold day in hell.

So I was on an idle server…

Also, the Classic is fucking amazing.

Guise, I did the most stupid decision ever.

How is that stupid? The Classic is absolutely amazing.

On an unrelated note… does anyone here think that KYM should have its own fun/trade server?

@Jimmy
What to expect

Yeah, why not?

Oh, ain't crafting weapons ASAP (bcause i'm some impatient sick fuck) much, much more stupid than waiting them to fill in the bots' inventory on scrap.tf where you can get it for 1/2 a scrap?

You are now aware that this thread was started before the Pyromania and MVM updates happened.

@Caramel
God. Time really moves fast. Mostly because of hats. Those fucking hats.

Amyway, anyone wanted to join in a KYM-Exclusive full-crit Conga server?

Wow…you guys just made me remember that we have a KYM group on steam….I should play there sometime soon again. (We should see if any other members don't know about it.)

Also, have any of you guys ever felt annoyed at a bad connection?

Well imagine sometimes having to play TF2 on DSL a mile into the woods from the road, that itself is several miles from the center of town in what is a very small town in a very rural area of the state…. sometimes I want to punch a wall…..

@thegreato
Here in Tampa, I don't have such a bad connection. There are a few KYM communities on steam. Including our comp team group.
Anyways, I'm back bitches. Feels good man.

Guys, what was your most humiliating death on TF2 ? Nothing beats being telefragged. As a spy.

I think being telefragged as an engie by a spy from your own teleported would be more embarrassing.
The most enraging/humiliating deaths for me are getting killed by a scout by his pistol or by a sniper by his SMG.

Well engies often stay near to their buildings, and it's easy to step on your teleporter (don't do that people) while repairing it, so telefrags are more common. But a spy ? That's ashaming.
