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

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

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.  Full length stand alone comic book  Written by DC’s Hope Larson Used to introduce the female classes into the game.  TF2 Motion Picture   Created in association with Pixar Full length -1:35:00 Budget exceeded Toy Story 2 and Cars 2 added together Former Saxxy Winners used in the credits.  100s of new and updated weapons  Including all-class steak knives Can be used in conjunction with Heavy’s food based taunts  Fixed Spy class  Facestabs now cause Spy to take self damage Backstab now only works on actual spine Backstab now takes only 99% of target’s health  Fixed Scout class  Scout is now a true “class cannon”. Starts out with 15 HP. So much as landing funny will shatter him  Fixed Pyro class  New IP Stack to reflect now works like you’re at LAN Flame’s cone-of damage is much more predictable.  New flamethrower Does less damage Slows other classes  Axtinguisher returned to full glory Pyro gets incendiary grenades – cannot be washed off  Fixed Soldier class  Using market gardener will instigate a permanent VAC ban on user.  Fixed Demo  Takes DoT from explosions  Drink to gain extra flight time, can no longer walk straight Bottle now has 1 in 10,000 chance to smash Will have bleed effect on Demo and target  Matchmaking fixed  Matchmaking fixed Now only play with people of similar skill level and experience Meme-ing and BM causes your queue length to get significantly longer Three international championships will be funded by Valve. HL | 6s | RGL   Finals hosted in a different city each year – like the Olympics, only good Invite teams will be flown there / accommodation provided Teams / Casting Groups / Podcasts will receive their own in-game items/skins to help support them Must have been covering TF2 for at least 8 years to qualify
