‘Tis the Season to be Critting blog - Vader91

I haven’t really posted a proper “blog” page for quite some
time, so I might as well dig it out and give a small update on life while the
Holiday Seasons roll in.

JSSG has grown to 8 Members, double the size of when it was
founded. Quite an improvement I say. The following Members have joined outside
the original 4 (in order of joining)

Admiral Skeybar (represented by a RED Pyro)

PurpleKirby54 (represented by a RED Engineer)

sovietCake (will be represented by a BLU Pyro)

Some other guy who Kirby has yet to tell me the name of (will
be represented by a RED Medic)

Because of the growth, I set up a small, invite-only group
on Steam so it’s easier to plan larger events like the (ended up failing,
though practice was fun) Battle Royal.

Second order of business; the status of Champion Games

Team Fortress 2 Tactics is close to a beta release. The Beta
will include 6 weapons per class, the stock weapons and the class update
weapons, exceptions being the Sniper and Demoman. Sniper will receive, in
addition to stock, the Sydney Sleeper, Jarate, and Bushwacker. Demoman will
receive, in addition to stock, the Loch-and-Load, Scottish Resistance, and
Ullapool Caber. Currently a simple-artwork version of 2fort will be the initial
map. An improved version (with Badwater hopefully) will come with the full
release of the game. DO NOT ASK FOR A RELEASE DATE PLEASE, AS I HAVE NO IDEA
WHEN THAT WILL BE. Luckily Kirby has jumped aboard to help me get the game
finished, so progress could pick up.

March of the Reds has been redesigned to be a bit simpler.
Nothing to show visually yet.

I have also stared sketching down ideas for yet another
game. This time, it will be a science fiction RPG-type cooperative game. It has
influence from a particular computer game as well. I’m keeping the title and
what-not confidential for the time being.

Finally, a bit of Personal updates.

I be praying to get a PS3 this Christmas, and the cards seem
to be dealing in my favor for that regard. I be chugging through my senor year
of high school, all fair so far.

Kirby and I have started coming as TF2 classes to the
school’s “Board Game Marathons” (basically 4 hours of games of all kinds,
including video games). The first one we went as Engineer (me of course) and
Scout (Kirby had one hell of a convincing costume). The second one (coming up
in 2.5 weeks) is a smaller marathon, so we be switching it up going as Spyper
and Intelligent Heavy (from Minifett’s classic Gmod vids). I already got a
bullet belt picked out and currently searching for a good pot. Kirby has a
decent Sniper costume, so he just needs to hunt down a good mask. Pictures may
come, eventually. Other planned combos;

Tin Soldier and Sniper
Heavy and Medic

Anyhow, that be enough from me. If you’re interested in
catching a game with me, currently I be lurking around in Alien Swarm and
Minecraft. ALWAYS expect me to be on TF2 on the weekends (or slow school
nights).

Cya on the battlefield!
