What to do when you finally get invited to the party but find everyone has buggered off to PAX West? Find the one guy who’s still around and demand that he podcast with you, of course! It just so happens that I lucked out on that one and managed to snag FreddieTF2 – possibly because he was too short to ride on the plane. Though we will never really know.

You know when you have a podcast and you invite someone on and they are awesome and accept and you tell you you’ll start early for them and then you fall asleep right before you start and then you’re late and you don’t get so much time with them? Just me huh. So we had Rydercycle on (for the start of) the show together with Benjamoose, who up till now I haven’t bigged up at all but he’s this really amazing VO guy who’s done tones of stuff in the community over the years.

Anyway, enjoy the show. If you want us to have these guys back, let us know in the comments.. wow, that felt too YouTube.

If you’re anything like me you’ll like your podcasts how you like your maps, dimensionally challenged. Which is to say that we have a great episodes for you today, so long as you’re prepared to squint a little and look at it side on.

Before we go any further I want to give a big shout out to our new 6s ESEA team. Watch out for a blog post on this and where you can follow them.

Best to mention that we still don’t have Uberchain’s intro music sorted yet. In our defence it’s been less than 3 years since she joined us; what do you guys want, efficiency?

Over the course of this weekend we recorded this episode of KritzKast, edited and released it. While this is not in the least bit unusual, we did have a little bit more incentive to get it done. As LeSwordfish pointed out. Content created within this period may qualify us for entry into the TF2maps.net Summer 2016 72hr TF2Jam. And who doesn’t like Jam?

Joined by donhonk and SedimentarySocks we go through the week’s updates and tweaks. We dig into the community update, “Frontline” and find out what makes for a really great working environment. Saved you a click.. it’s memes, lots of memes. We’re going to need a bigger podcast.

Uncle Dane and Uberchain return to the show to address the biggest update we’ve seen since… well since ever. TF2 finally has matchmaking; casual looks and plays completely differently and a whole bunch of changes to the classes means that the old meta for 6s is out. Oh and there’s also a war brewing between Heavy and Pyro. Go TeamPyro.tf

Not since the weeks leading to End of the Line, have so many people been so close to the edge of their seats. The long awaited “neato” update seemed to be coming out this weekend with a bunch of people making predictions that it absolutely, definitely, cut-me-own-throat if I’m a lying to you assuredly will be; turning sadly to another nope.taunt. Speaking of which…

I know what your thinking. That episode name is rather weird. Well, lets just say that there is some weird stuff discussed in this weeks episode. We talk about Dream hacks finals that didn’t finished. A TF2 composer that you can download and play with, an awesome cowboy bebop TF2 video…….and map porn. I could explain what it is, buts you’ll enjoy it more if you listen to the episode.
