KritzKast #453: End of Inferno Feb 25, 2018

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?

KritzKast #452: B4nny Feb 25, 2018

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.

KritzKast #448: Comeback King (Return Raja Return!) Feb 03, 2018

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 King Back!

Shit that would have been a better name for this episode!

KritzKast #442: Feast or Famine Nov 08, 2017

Agro is alone again, and feeling the pinch, what with the mammoth swell of updates and fixes. It’s enough to make a man yearn for a simpler time when nothing happened to anything anywhere. This episode was record on October 28th.

KritzKast #441: Meet CeeJaey Oct 30, 2017

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 Oct 20, 2017

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”.

wait4it — KritzKast #439: Legendary, part 1 Oct 07, 2017
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. So much more, in ways that we were unexpected and delightful. So much so that we’re just going to have to release it in chunks. Hot messing chunks that will rot your inners and mess with your minds.

KritzKast #430: ozfortress forever Jul 25, 2017
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.

KritzKast #428: The Keys to Good Trading Jul 05, 2017
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.

Sigafoo is a man we’ve had on the show before. Yotts is a man who’s things we’ve had on the show before. Freelands is a man no show can hold for very long. Together they form (part of) RGL.GG, the answer to a question no-one asked but everyone was happy to listen to.

KritzKast #425: ETF2L, black on green Jun 11, 2017

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 on the shoulders of our guest this week Stinson.

We’ve coaxed three of the /r/tf2/ mods out of their safe places to come talk about the subreddit that drives much of the community discussion around Team Fortress 2. Meeting these guys really puts it in balance, the level of sustained professionalism required to look after everyone, and keep this sub one of the best on reddit.

overtime — KritzKast #423: GermanPeter works Overtime May 29, 2017

Agro_Skymin — KritzKast #422: Agro in the SkyBox May 21, 2017
In case it’s not clear from the title, we have Skymin and MaxBox joining us on the show this week. Skymin is a brilliant YouTuber who makes her own SFM Thumb art, bursts into song at a moment’s notice and appears to have achieved the impossible. MaxBox used to be a hacker/script kiddie. He’s turned over a new leaf, chosen washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got hats?

hugs 17 team — KritzKast #420: Live from Hugs.tf May 14, 2017
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 community as a whole.

The medal was awarded to anyone who donated £10 or more, or that equivalent in items.

Shout out to Special Effect and the amazing work they do. If want to get involved with them, or figure out how to run your own event head over to their site.

hugs 2017 medal — KritzKast #419.5: Chloemew two May 05, 2017
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. We also pulled Teleportato (I’m worried that my spellcheck now knows how to autocorrect this) out from the post show MvM, he’s the one who always sends us to Virginia, and into the podcast.

There are two ETF2L Experiment Cups, a Gamers Assembly viewing guide and two long lost artists return, Rammy and Hoo.

Lastly, Nate confirms there’s to be a new animated short.

NHBL — KritzKast Interviews: NHBL Mar 26, 2017
There are two types of Heavies in this world; those that have beaten the cheesecake out of their opponents in a boxing ring and those that plan to do it tomorrow.

We caught up with two such hardballs, Clayface and The Gentlemann’s Fedora, who have taken hand to face combat into a whole other level by creating the National Heavy Boxing League. A safe place for gentle persons of the bulky Russian variety to converse using the medium of fists.

KritzKast #415: The Bare Essentials Mar 22, 2017

Valve have fiddled with the back end, upgrading and updating TF2 to the very latest SDK; 2013. This may seem like nothing to the layman but it means a great deal. For one thing, it broke Source Mod and for another it broke Macs. So there’s that going for it. Altogether it’s a very important step in the development of TF2, to bring it up to date smartly and allow it to have a life beyond where we ever thought was possible. Or something like that. I really don’t know anything.

Luckily this has never stopped me from seeking out clever people to explain it to me, like my guest tonight, Wolf Machina. Wolf has been working on Essentials for the best side of three years. The site is at last ready to have people pokes hole in it. He seems eager for that to happen. *poke*

KritzKast #414: I have no face and I must flex Mar 14, 2017

We answer all the big questions here on the show, like what is a loris and how do I catch my own? Actually, best not to since that’s probably illegal in most states. They are cute and cuddly and loris probably doesn’t want to be captured and forced to live in a small bucket under the stairs; kept in darkenss for nine months of the year and told to wear a suit to the cinema, even when it’s not an adventure flick.

KritzKast #411: A box of sweets and tears Feb 25, 2017

The magnificent twitch streamer Jewlander returns to furnish us with his wisdom. Which is lovely because he notices things other people take forever to see, then he kills those people before his disguise is blown. Admittedly there was a lot to see since Valentine’s day had Valve drop a massive love heart on the TF2 fandom by way of a massive pack of updates.

Also, there is music coming to Amazon, and (no matter what you may have heard) no one person is leaving Valve; they all are.

KritzKast #409: conflict with HiGPS Feb 09, 2017

Here’s a couple of tips for you. If you really want to piss off Valve, get your entire fan base to email them at the same time. If you really don’t want to come on KritzKast, ask us to come on KritzKast. This is true in 99.9% of cases. the 0.01% apparently, is if you are HiGPS
