- Team Fortress Classic updates released - 16 April 2019
This list covers the releases between March 20 and April 15 that are each part of a series of security updates. Larger changes: Added privilege checking to command execution. Commands originating outside of the client are now only able to execute commands that are considered to be safe. Commands such as 'connect', 'bind', 'quit' and certain cvars such as 'cl_filterstuffcmd' are now only executable by trusted sources. Setting 'cl_filterstuffcmd' to a value greater than zero (e.g. 'cl_filterstuffcmd 1') will set a number of commands that are potentially abusable, such as 'say', 'fps_max', and 'setinfo', to also be only executable by privileged sources. Fixes: Fixed intermittent double weapon firing Fixed client incorrectly blocking download of custom sprays Security fixes: All custom resources downloaded from a server now have their file name's checked for safety before being allowed to d…

- Half-Life gets new patch, almost 19 years after launch - 11 July 2017
Though Half-Life is almost nineteen years old and its sanctioned fan remake Black Mesa is nearing completion , Valve have launched a wee patch for their pretty okay or whatever vintage FPS. The patch fixes a few crashes and exploits, and hit other Half-Life engine games too, such as classic Counter-Strike. Given how much of modern PC games history connects to Half-Life and its mod scene, I’m glad Valve are still tinkering a little. Earlier this year, they finally got Half-Life an uncensored release in Germany too. …

- Have You Played Team Fortress Classic? - 21 May 2016
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. I did and I didn’t like it. To me, Team Fortress Classic was unfairly dumped in a bin called “a team-based multiplayer shooter like Counter-Strike only messy and guff.” …
- Bif! Bam! Pow! Team Fortress 2 Comic Issue #5 Out - 2 September 2015
I haven’t played Team Fortress 2 in almost a year, Steam tells me, but by gum! I haven’t stopped caring about the goofy world have created for their free-to-play FPS. Valve have some of the funniest fun in games, and I don’t especially mind if the yaks come through webcomics rather than computer games. While we were on holiday on Monday, Valve released the fifth issue of their free TF comic , a mere eleven months after the last. In case you can’t remember, the TF2 gang’s quest for Australium metal had taken to the undersea dome where Sniper’s parents lived in some odd Superman pastiche, when the squad ran into their counterparts from Team Fortress Classic. And… action ! …
