Here's the rest of the Season 2 reviews. I've culled a couple stories to put in Season 3 instead because I'd just like to get Happy Appy done some time this century. Once Season 2 is done, I'll be doing a lot more general media content alongside the pastas and the TF2 videos.
You ever see someone say something so absurdly fucking stupid that you come to the conclusion that they're just baiting for interactions, and then you don't even see the blue checkmark next to their name so you realize, no they're really just that fucking absurdly stupid.
Half-Life got Alyx, Portal got Desk Job, and Left 4 Dead got a major update all in the time since the last major TF2 update. If anything CS should be the drowning child since they're dealing with their own hacker crisis, but at least they're still breathing.
This is huge and great news, but one ban wave isn't enough. Valve needs to remain consistent and keep this work going. My hope is they've hired a bunch of code monkeys to do the treadmill work, and they'll keep it going in perpetuity. If not, we'll be back to square one soon.
Update: As of right now, it seems as though the VAST majority of aimbots have been purged. It's 7AM and I've seen no bots, that's unheard of.
This is definitely not confirmation of any long term trend, but it's a step on the treadmill, let's get them to take more.
#FixTF2
TF2 is my favorite game, and the single most influential piece of media in my life. I owe so much to this game, from my new job as a YouTuber to the countless unforgettable experiences and people that have shaped who I am. It's one of the best, it deserves the best.

Valve realizes everyone's expectations for the update are way too high
Valve delays the update to add more stuff to meet fan expectations
The delays only further fuel the expectations of the fans, hyping them up even more
Thus the serpent consumes its own tail
The implications of this are that either:
1: He was delusional enough to genuinely think this would be acceptable, or even appreciated.
2: He was doing something even worse, and this was the best thing he could come up with.
I can't exactly speak for everyone involved in
#FixTF2
but what I want to see from Valve specifically is either significant updates to VAC, or else a similar situation to the contractor who was previously hired to maintain TF2 except more long term.
People are dragging Zesty in the comments but he's right. There's a fundamental problem with the sheer volume of Halloween maps we get every year and the lack of quality of several maps, even when they are functional. Dividing them up by game mode doesn't fix that.
Hey thanks for not letting me or anyone else decide that for themselves at all and making the decision on behalf of everyone instead of offering it as a choice with as little warning as possible, that's really fucking cool.
I have no greater hope on this earth than loads of companies and brands overusing the shit out of wojaks to try and be hip and cool, and everyone collectively stops using them and realizes how fucking embarrassing this is.
The nature of game journalism means that this story will spread to other sites quickly. It's already trending which is a good sign. Media backlash and bad PR will hopefully be the boot in Valve's ass that gets them to actually do or at the very least say something.
Team Fortress 2's massive botting problem has made the game nigh-unplayable for two years and counting, and its community is begging Valve for answers – or at least acknowledgement.
Shad your sword videos are neat but this is the weirdest fucking hill to die on ever. You of all people should know just how absurd she looks fighting like that. She's not swinging a sword, her waist is being yanked across the room by an invisible hook.
Apropos of nothing except people collectively realizing the sorry state the game is in,
#SaveTF2
has started to trend again. Good. Don't let up, hold Valve accountable for their game, and don't get complacent.
I am seeing WAY too many people defend this kind of game design. This is lazy, non-diegetic, and frankly ugly and insulting to the player's intelligence. So here's a quick crash course on how to properly guide players without smearing yellow paint on everything for no reason.
Things Hbomberguy is not cool with: Stealing someone's written work and using it to make money (understandable)
Things Hbomberguy is cool with: Stealing countless people's YouTube videos wholesale and making millions of dollars off of it (I crave death)
have a bad feeling that people are going to see this joke in the new hbomberguy video and not realize a) it was a joke he asked hasan if he was cool with him making b) he was literally in the chat during the stream the clip was from
At a performance in Germany, Roger Waters dressed up as an SS soldier and pretended to fire a rifle.
How any person with a conscience can pay money to see this vile human is beyond me.

Me after months organizing an event was spent for me to get the equivalent of less than two days worth of minimum wage pay. Sorry but I can't hear any of the complaining from my new yacht.
@surny_
Because it gets to a point where it's so far removed from the base game that it becomes something else entirely and loses the charm of what made the game special in the first place. It's "free novel content" sure, but it's just not TF2.
If you ascribe value to media based on its age and view all media as replaceable, then you and your ilk are the sole reason for the death of media preservation and should we ever meet, I will punch you in the face repeatedly until you either change your ways or cease moving.
"Yeah we invented fire and figured out that it makes everything it comes in contact with taste really good, but we've arbitrarily decided to only selectively do that with tomatoes and if you don't like it you're just picky I guess" - The utterly deranged
Team Fortress 2 deserves one last update, one last update that perfects this game we love so much (although I am not saying we need to abandon TF2 as a playerbase, only that Valve should make one more update)
I kept the possibility that this would just be a seasonal tier update in mind as a possibility, but I had some hope that Valve wouldn't just suddenly update the blog and ask for loads of submissions just for a relatively minor update.

I have basically no issues with a boycott in concept, but I have little faith in one as gamers in particular are notoriously bad at them. Also in general the vast majority of F2P revenue is made by whales who won't care one way or another because they're addicts.
Exceptionally based. The only problem is that it's taken most people way too long to come to this conclusion when the writing has been on the wall for years.
I'm going to cause direct and intentional harm to the people at Microsoft, not a joke, not in Minecraft, not satire, I am a threat to society and people's lives and safety and my cause is just and righteous.
Xbox today announced internally it is closing four Bethesda studios, three years after acquiring the company - Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks (creators of TGA winner Hi-Fi Rush), Alpha Dog and Roundhouse.
Netflix’s has introduced their anti-password sharing method:

I've been streaming seriously for about 3+ years now and dude it's so easy. IT'S SO EASY. I would take streaming every fucking day over any of the retail jobs I've ever had to work and it's not even close. There are issues, sure, but nothing on the level of a retail job.
Streaming is by far one of the easiest most privileged jobs one can have.
If your successful the rewards far outweigh any of the negatives, compare it to any service job, Cybersecurity or nursing and you’ll find something actually exhausting.
The big problem here is that people like xQc and Hasan think their job is to watch YouTube videos for money, when really their job is to be an entertainer. They use other people's videos as a crutch because without them, they're fucking insufferable and they know it.
This video shows xQc 'reacting' to my video.
He leaves the room 5 seconds into the video and then returns 10 minutes later, making a mockery out of the fact that he is not reacting.
@danekevincook
Dane there's a Sniper sightline from the spawn door straight to the point. You literally don't even have to move, it's so easy to lock down the point. It's so bad.
Now see, you might think this is completely idiotic in every conceivable way, but as expected of a genius like Elon, this is actually his masterful gambit to lower the price of local housing by making it so fucking no one would ever want to live anywhere near there.
Wait what the fuck, this is a Netflix adaptation of a popular piece of media that actually looks good and faithful to the source material? And they got all the people involved in the original to come back? Where the fuck was this attitude for Death Note and Cowboy Bebop?
"Bro what the fuck do you mean 'how would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast today,' of course I ate breakfast today. What am I supposed to do, just fucking starve? You want me to not eat breakfast bro? What am I supposed to do, die?"
It's so heartwarming to see totally normal twitter freaks eagerly awaiting the downfall of a perfectly normal guy because of bad vibes and a loose association with someone featured in a certain video. What an interesting audience you've built, Harris.
I find this contrast fascinating. The creeper was designed for a completely different color palette than the one Minecraft currently has, meant to blend in to the harshly saturated bright greens, but now it's too iconic to change even if its design would benefit from it.

I love interaction farming it's so cool seeing the same picture of the same starfish with the same milquetoast takes under it 50 times a day
Does it seem dystopian to anyone else that anti-capitalist lip service is being used as a marketing tactic? Or if not dystopian, at least extremely funny that so many people are falling for it. How do you do fellow kids, we hate capitalism, that'll be $70.
No offense to the talented people who made this fine robot, but if I saw something getting up and walking at me like that, I would do everything in my power to kill it.
Playing casual again on my own time after the bots have all been wiped out is so nice. It even seems like I'm running into less of the regular west coast pub stompers and more into newer players or people just coming back. It's like Yellowstone after they reintroduced wolves.
I apologize for not making a video on this fast enough that discouraged as many people from watching this as possible. I take partial responsibility for the inevitable destruction of Toph's entire character. I could have saved her bros.
Reading the responses, I had it totally right. Hbomb was an idiot for failing to tackle IH neutrally without labelling him and his fanbase as literal Nazis, and now it's too easy to dismiss anyone still talking about the plagiarism as crazy lefty Twitter freaks. Good job.
This is genuinely the least funny comment trend I have ever seen and your comments will never see the light of day. I'd seriously rather you just type "first."

If you told me these images were AI generated, I'd believe you. It looks completely uninspired. Maybe it'd be a good game that just looks generic if it turned out to be real, but I'm not holding my breath.
Just got to ask, this is bullshit right? The Devil Trigger Eyelander montage in my Bazaar Bargain video got claimed, but I can't find anything that connects either of these two companies to the song. I don't think any harm can come from disputing this, but I want to make sure.
