Another great week for mapkind with TF2maps.net’s 2015 Summer 72 hour mapping contest under full swing while we were recording.

Erik Wolpaw give us a jolly good read on Penny Arcade. While Edge Gamers have their own beheading competition.

TF2 tops out at an average of 60,000 con concurrent players in July, according to Steamcharts.com The most since records began in 2012.

Creator of Meet your Makers – Void, calls for Themed Crates.

Over in Overwatch there’s a hint so large it has it’s own ZIP code that we’re getting a support character called Lúcio

Finally you too can have an editor like ours for just $5; hire a Doug at fiverr.

Changes to TF2, EVL Battle Royale on the horizon and Hackers being put out of business. Just some of the things we are going to talk about this week…..wha? you want more. Well how about we tell you the astronomically small odds that you’ll open the “Perfect” weapon from a case. Still not enough? How about we let you in on a little info about the next TF2 Comic? Really that’s got to be enough TF2 to keep you satisified. Right. What about this…a fully automated, to scale, level 1 sentry…that is actually….wait for it….A PC CASE!!!

FINE! Then have a comic based on Overwatch……or is it?

Oh…and don’t forget our video of the week.

So much content, where do we start? In TF2 land there’s been a bevy of updates, mostly relating to Gun Mettle but also with a few things like new the ETF2L 6v6 Season 21 tournament medals, and Hammer fixes.

YM runs a Strawpoll to see what redditors think should happen to the community maps after the event.

Tip of the Hats announces their 2015 event date with a countdown timer on the site.

Insomnia 55 is to be held in a tent for the TF2 guys this year. If your’e going look for Tempest and Agro, we’ll be lurking near the stage, smelling faintly of happiness.

Blizzard do a Q&A on reddit about Soldier 76.

Special shout out to Sanc Tuary and Stevoisiak for sending in emails recently. Stevoisiak even takes the prestigious PotW title both for his short Heavy is Still Alive after which this week’s show is titled, but also for his excellent question.

After a week of the update, Tempest and Chronos have returned to give their views on the update as a whole.Plus all the “Minor” updates in the mean time. Like fixing winning a payload match with out the payload.

NOT ONLY THAT, but we discuss how valves new policy on scamming. It is big, it is clever. How does it effect us, how does it effect you?

NOT ONLY THAT, the comic. We almost forgot about it last week, So lets natter about it now. Miss Pauling scamming Saxton Hale, We never thought we’d see the day.

NOT ONLY THAT, have you ever fancied playing out a TF2 fan fiction and try to date one of the characters from them game you love so much…..No…Oh, Neither did we, But obviously somebody else did and made the TF2 Dating Simulator. I swear I’m not making any of this up.

NOT ONLY THAT, But a new class in overwatch too. Soldier 76…basically every single generic shooter class in every single generic shooter game ever.

The wonderful Sigafoo joins us, together with now published (cp_snowplough anyone?) map maker, Fr0z3n to bring you news of the first big official update from Valve in yonks. That’s a real word and you can’t prove otherwise. We take a stab at breaking the Gun Mettle Update down to its component parts before building it back up again, spraying it pretty colours, burying it in the snow out back and marking it with a sprig from a cherry blossom tree so we can find it again in spring. Also a clever reference to Borneo!
