What happened to the podcast already?

April 07, 2020 10:41

Short answer: it evolved. Even shorter answer: *takes off glasses, rubs eyes, remembers too late not to touch face* ugh. Slightly longer answer: It’s been a while since Valve has shown any public commitment to TF2. That makes it much harder to push out regular weekly content based on an ever-changing game. That’s not to say the community has stood still. In the time between the last identifiable pod and […]

KritzKast #453: End of Inferno

February 25, 2018 19:36 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

Ding Dong the Inferno update is dead. Or to be more precise it has been put into a long slumber, as of Feb 14, though it is still possible to complete whatever contracts you’ve left over. It’s another Agro only show for this one, thought I’m getting better, not nearly half as mad sounding as last time. That is better, isn’t it? Also on the show: Metal Slug Fortress 2 Heart-mom […]

KritzKast #452: B4nny

February 25, 2018 19:26 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MB

It almost doesn’t matter at this point if you’re into TF2 esports or not. There are just some people who have been knee deep in it for so long that they seem to transcend the question of whether or not it’s a good idea. One such person is B4nny. And we were lucky enough to get him to ourselves for nearly a whole hour. Also on the show: TF2 Pro […]

heart mom

February 05, 2018 16:01

We were thinking, what with that Day around the corner, and us having reached the first of our Patreon goals (thank you, we love you all so much) that we should celebrate and make good on our pledge of giving back to the community.

February 03, 2018 15:33 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MB

It’s been a long time since we’d had actual Royalty on the show. And for King Raja it’s been a long time since he’s been anywhere at all. At least his Youtube life has been on hold for a while. We took some time to find out what has been keeping him away, and what we can expect to see now that he’s looking to return. Don’t call it a […]

October 21st 2017 will be the date that many players first started playing TF2. It was, by no coincidence also the time that the biggest update for Team Fortress 2 since unsliced bread dropped Jungle Inferno. All this pales into insignificance since it was also the day we finally got to have CeeJaey on the podcast.

KritzKast #440: Big Blog Twist

October 20, 2017 00:13 - 1 hour - 44 MB

Recorded just before the big update we realised this may sound a little peculiar now. If ever there’s a lesson to be learned here it’s “get the editing done while what you said is still true enough”.

After months of predictions that TF2 would have its massive update on October 6th…. we can finally report, that the wait is over, and it is legendary. Everything we’ve ever hoped for and more.

TF2 podcast seeks SFM animator

August 07, 2017 16:29

My lurching attempt to revitalise our YouTube channel brought with it the realisation that creating a video-a-week after editing a podcast-a-week is a lot of additional work. So I did the traditional YouTube thing; I just stopped, and didn’t tell anyone. That’s a really lousy *out* and has weighed heavy on my mind ever since. Up steps former KritzKast audio editor Micah,  (fresh from editing Podcast76 the Overwatch podcast) looking […]

I have found a kindred spirit.

KritzKast #430: ozfortress forever

July 25, 2017 02:05 - 1 hour - 53 MB

Suspicions abound over an update to an application that may or may or not be a new version of TF2. Okay, it probably isn’t but you can’t blame me for getting excited. Although some of that is probably because I’ve got obla or fozzlm from ozfortress here.

July 05, 2017 07:54 - 1 hour - 48.4 MB

I don’t get to use superlatives enough anymore. Which is why I’m glad that I can finally say that we had a chance to talk this week with Geel. He is the co-owner of the three largest trading resources in Team Fortress 2; Scrap.tf Marketplace.tf and now finally Backpack.tf. It’s hard to see it any other way. Geel is the most important man in TF2 trading. Also on the show […]

YouTuber and hastily assembled potato lover, RTGame joins us this week. A week when Valve breaks their vow of silence to let us know they are still thinking about palm trees, tigers and vines.

KritzKast #425: ETF2L, black on green

June 11, 2017 15:33 - 1 hour - 43.8 MB

For the longest time Europe has had one clear winner when it comes to TF2 esports. Unlike the big pay to complete kings of North America, this giant is free. Run exclusively by volunteers who selflessly give up their free time and energy so that the game they love has a place to be played. Recently the role of head admin has been divided in two, with one half falling […]

KritzKast #420: Live from Hugs.tf

May 14, 2017 21:15 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MB

I don’t think I’ve been quite so sad to see a LAN end as I was when hugs.tf finally packed up and everyone went their separate ways. The show here comes to you as it was recorded, live. I was joined by lor_is and Squirrel and we chatted about the event itself, the distinct lack of sleep everyone was getting and how much something like this means to the TF2 […]

KritzKast #419.5: Chloemew two

May 05, 2017 21:16 - 47 minutes - 33.1 MB

At last, we finally get to talk to Chloemew. She’s had something of a massive rise in popularity, having seemingly come from nowhere to now be featured pretty much everywhere. Yeah, I’m looking at you Fenrir, and with your YT interview.
