Tutorial: Initiation

[ just the video right now, article to come later ]

For you Highlander kiddies.

HELLO, today we are on pl_badwater. I had some neat hiding spots for soldier/demo that I would like to show you on here.

First one is near the first blue spawn of badwater

I don't reccomend it but I did picked some idiot players during one highlander once.

The second spot is probably the most known hiding spot on badlands. and it's near the red's spawn.

                                                 Funny thing is no one ever looks up here.

And the last hiding spot is probably the most sneakiest and I presume not many people know about it. this is also near the red spawn near the sniper area.

Heh, not sure if anyone knows about it, but this is one of the best hiding spots I found on badwater, and a lot  of people go through here.

These spots may or may not help you, it's a 50/50 chance the first two will help. But they are worth giving a shot to try :>

Quickie: Gullywash Mid

I stumbled on to this little hiding spot(?) on gullywash and I think it would help when the opposing team is about to push. but I think when people go to mid from choke they can probably see your feet. here's some pictures:

It perhaps may help or not, who knows I didn't find out about this spot till now which is embarrassing (this spot is near the blu's choke.)

Speaking of player resources

Be on the lookout for up and coming sites featuring TF2 news and gameplay guides. ESEA has recently been growing and they've joined up with mygamingedge.com to bring you more videos then ever. a website called TF2HUB is bringing you the best written guides you can find in one place.

A big question...

So here's the thing that most competitive players TF2 or not ask themselves most about the game; "How can I get better?" As many have asked this question before, many have also answered it. In all of my experiences on the internet I have yet to stumble upon anything that answers this question better then Chance's Quake Bible . Even if Quake wasn't such a huge part of TF2's history it would still be a very valuable resource to discover how you can succeed in any game. Chance lists many useful tips which can help with your success in any game from dota to SC2 to TF2.I shall go over one of the signifacant points, practice, right now.

Practice is the main subject of improving. Be it with a team or by yourself, practice is what will make you better as an individual player. There are many ways to practice in TF2, the trick is finding which ways work for you. The best kind of practice I'm sure in most people's opinions is practice with a team. Of course the best way to be the best 6v6 player is by actually playing 6v6. However if you feel like you are missing certain parts of your play, there are places where you can get specialized practice for your needs. Need an edge in 1v1 skill? Finding your airshots a little rusty? Try a little MGE mod. Feel like your jumps need work? Hop into a jump map server. Feel like you need to just work on your aim and game sense a bit? Check out some DM mod servers. Feel like improving your team play and positioning? Watch some recorded demos. As you can see there are many resources available for players of any class. Remember, it's not HOW MUCH you practice, but HOW you practice.

Gravel Pit Day.

Hello again. I'm Reimu and i'm here to show you some cool gravel pit hiding spots. I thought about doing this since gravel pit esea matches are still happening. there is also a video I will show you of 2 great spots you should use to get a major pick and turn the game around later on.

Alright now you see you lights, thats the first hiding spot I will show you. No one really expects anyone to be up there, This entrance to the B side of gravel is where the combo of med+soldier+demoman come through in. sometimes they would go to the left side but mostly this side.

 Now there is a high chance your feet wont be viewable from down below by your opposing players. When I used this hiding spot I managed to get a pick on the demoman which prevented the other team from pushing in.

Now remember the left side right, now heres a hiding spot that involves the left side entrance (from pov it's the  right side when pushing in. and left side when defending) Now this is a great hiding spot to get some scout/soldier picks in and if you are lucky you can possibly get the med and soldier combo.

 Looks pretty high up, you can rocket jump on to the lamp there. there is two sets of these lamp posts so you can do the same to the other one which ever you feel comfy with this one is preferably my side. you can see both entrances and people coming in. Remember people are lazy to look up but some are not.

Now for the last two hiding spots will be in a video that I will show soon if i'm not lazy

My CFG + FPSconfig + n64 graphics.

Hello, i'm sorry that I've haven't posted here in awhile but I guess it would be worth it for those who always wanted n64 graphics but could of never gotten it because of valve blocking the mat_picmip 3 command.

Special thanks to tragic for figuring out how to make the game look like this without Rivaturner:

Export the .txt then open it on notepad or notepad++ and search "Team Fortress 2". It's going to look something like this http://pastie.org/private/paelbasq26a2cm9..

Then at the end before 'EndProfile' add 'Setting ID_0x00738e8f = 0x00000078 UserSpecified=true' and it should look like this http://pastie.org/private/lptylmlciochzv1..

It will affect tf2 and any process with hl2.exe. If you want a enable/disable toggle just use

bindtoggle "key" "mat_mipmaptextures" or simple switch it from '1' to '0'

Also, for cleaner textures use the following commands

mat_filertextures 1
mat_filterlightmaps 1

Now for my FPSconfig and my config files if you want to use them. My fps config is m0re's config but edited to my style so you can edit it if you want. but only edit it if you know what you are doing. heres the mediafire link to my config+autoexec, it also has different viewmodels and cross-hairs for each class so beware:

Thanks for Reading, and catch you later onee-chan~

Badlands: Hiding Spots (Scout)

Hello everyone Reimu here with a new post and we are doing something different today a little thing I like to call hiding spots. today we will be doing ones on cp_badlands, of course some of these hiding spots are a little annoying to try and get to~

For this one you first jump on these here crates~

Then look at the lamp on the top, you should be able to jump and go on it
Not many people look up here so you should try it~

The second one here is pretty simple but a little hard:
You see the control point sign there, yeah you can jump and hide on it

 Heres how it would look like once you jump on it, it takes a few tries but you'll get the hang of it~!

 This hiding spot here is very easy to get to, The little cliff thingy right there~

This is a pretty cute spot, and pretty easy to get to :3, Just by running across the railing~     

Well thats all I got for badlands scout right now, I know theres a few more but i'm lazy. Thanks for reading !

Makin' a FPS Config (Or at least trying to)

Hey guys this is Reimu here trying to make my own fps config. and what i'm going to show you here is some screen shots of it on cp_badlands~

Now of course for this config there has to be a problem right? yeah there is. This config requires the use of a mat command called mat_picmip, this config uses picmip 4 and of course the douches count this as a sv_cheat so i'm still trying to find a way to fix this problem without using RivaTurner (since it doesn't work for me anyways) i'll post a download link to this soon :3

The opening of this Blog.

Hello everyone !, I know this looks like a cheap copy of NoaM's scout blog, but I couldn't help myself but doing this. it was too tempting, in this blog i'll be giving you ways on how to play all classes competitively the Reimu way (which is dying constantly and being a huge faget), stay tuned for more of these posts.

soon i'll be posting screen shots, videos and more.
