Jeff addresses OnlyWatch

There’s not really been an update this week, not to TF2 at least. This would have made for a really short podcast. That’s not the full story though since Team Fortress 2 Competitive gets a new logo, which makes us think something is about to start happening here. Which Kotau appears to have picked up on.

As luck would have it, KritzKast made it into the Overwatch BETA. Well, I say luck…

Biggest changes are that we now have a new game mode, KOTH Control, and two new maps.

Oh and player progression, which slowly reveals skins, emotes, sprays and animations.

TF2 Jam was last week, hence the artwork featured here. We walked through our experiences with it.

In that time another update dropped, YAY!

However someone took this as a good time to troll Valve with some shoddy content. Which raises questions about the nature of trust in this industry.

The Overwatch beta is returning. And why do we care? Well that’s a very good question. Good enough for player of the week.
