Spy update leaked?

For the love of God I hope this leak is fake. If it isn't, then we're gonna be FUCKED by spies. A good spy can make or break a game, not to mention frustrate beyond all means.

There's a PNG that's allegedly a leak of the spy update, including achievements and the 3 new toys he'll get. The only reasonable new toy is a magnetic sapper, that can't destroy a building but it disables it for a while and CAN'T BE KNOCKED OFF by a wrench. This one's for spies that work with a teammate (Soldier? Demo?) so he can destroy the building once it's sapped.

The BAD new toys are the silenced gun, which does half damage from front but is a CRITICAL from the back. And it's quiet. FUCK.

Even worse is the alleged garrote, a thin wire that kills within a couple of seconds. Why is this really bad? Because using the garrote the spy DOESN'T LOSE HIS DISGUISE. Just ponder on that for a few seconds. A good spy can now literally disable a sentry ecosystem all alone: Garrote the engineer, sap the buildings - done.

Let's hope if they are true that REALLY SOON Valve will release the Engineer update. That poor man won't stand a chance against the all new Spy.

Here's the PNG.

Left4Dead Release Date Confirmed!!!

November the 4th it is people. Get your pre-orders ready, and a fresh supply of pants. We're gonna need 'em :)

Here's a new gameplay video:

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Part 2)

Remember the original OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ?

Tonight something very similar happened to [Clan Khara] in TF2.
We were facing some really tough odds: because of the Pyromania that's swept over the game (due to updates to the Pyro class recently), the servers have become full of Pyros. Worse still, this server we were on was not only full of Pyros, but deadly, effecient Pyros. All of which always seemed to be on the other team as us....

Anyhow, we were all on the BLU side in Goldrush, stage 1. Having gone past the first checkpoint, we'd managed to push the cart miraculously past the dreaded chicane and in to the final stretch to seal victory. After a successful push and weakening of RED's defences, my Kritzkrieg had reached 100% uber, and I was healing Pyromax who was conveniently a soldier (soldier + Kritz uber = hell).

We decided to activate the uber and let all hell loose on the few surviving RED defences, while also pushing the cart forward towards that vital capture point. I waited for Pyromax to reload, and with excitement mounting I activated the uber and proudly watched the rockets fly out of him, glowing blue and crackling with that dreaded critical sound we all hate/love, and out of the corner of my eye I could see an enemy sniper and demoman both about to die horribly.

Except non of that happened. See, after activating the uber, Pyromax managed to shoot one single rocket, after which the server decided to crash. Suspended in mid-air, the damn rocket didn't even reach anyone! My precious uber was wasted on the ether, and Pyromax was just standing in limbo!
The cart grinded to a halt, even though it was just metres away from the final destination!!!

Damn you failing servers and damn you internets! All three of us shouted down our mics into Teamspeak, wondering why oh why did it have to happen now of all times! Our delicate plan busted by a crash. We even had 4:36 minutes to complete the level, so there was loads of time to win!!

I took a screen shot in despair. SIGH

The Pyro is a...........GIRL!!!

From CS-Nation, talking to Robin Walker:

"Walker: The Pyro is the focus on the next pack. We're making some significant changes to the base Pyro class & weaponry, in addition to the three unlockables and thirty-five achievements. We've never been terribly happy with the Pyro, in particular with her shallower skill curve than other combat classes. We really want highly skilled Pyros to be visibly more effective than the average Pyro, and the new features are designed to address that."

And a look at her purse:



OMG!!! Is it going to turn in to this??



Any thoughts?

SEGA makes kissing robots for REAL!

Foxnews reports today (no I don't watch Foxnews, but Maxconsole had the item!) that SEGA has created EMA, a female robot that's 15" tall and can pucker up on demand, entering "love mode" :D

You gotta give it to the Japanese, who cares what the rest of the world think! Come to think of it, she does look rather sexy........

This Japanese GLaDOS goes on sale in September all over Japan for $175.

3G iPhone confirmed

Yes the rumours were true. Again.

Slightly thicker, slightly curvier, and just as sexy. This time with black or white plastic for the back rather than the original metal. The original is gonna stop producing so I might just hold on to it for sentimental values. Particularly since I got it on launch day.

Or may be not. Who knows. I do know I'll definitely pick a 3G one up come 11th of July ;)

[Clan Khara] is born!

So it's late, and we're playing Dustbowl (I think).
We were also having our arses handed to us, by some members of some clan or another.

And that's when it was born, our new clan.

Someone (Pyromax or Blue Blood) said that playing against that clan was clan khara, then someone else (Pyromax or Blue Blood) said that Clan Khara should be what we call ourselves. After about 5 minutes of hysterical laughing/breathlessness we all changed our names to bear the [Clan Khara] tag :)

So now we're:

[Clan Khara] Blue Blood
[Clan Khara] PyroMax
[Clan Khara] Sobtanian

Hopefully we'll have more Khara members soon. We're very easy to please, even if you play like khara you'll still be welcome to Clan Khara. No khara attitudes though, we're about dishing khara out, no clan khara within Clan Khara!

[Clan Khara] PyroMax will be making us some avatars/spray images to use in game soon.

Finally, Clan Khara is not to be confused with Khara town, nor with Khara Deepwater.

See you next kharia.
