I can't stop blogging!

Okay, so I'm apparently going to blog like a nutcase about the upcoming update, but fucking hell I can't help it! News, pictures, videos! In a steady stream! And I'm getting more and more excited with each new thing that I stumble upon!
I think I'm in trouble if Valve Time comes into play and the update won't see daylight in Sunday...

My new favourite thing is this video. (Embeddan gaems! Let's see how this goes...)



First of all, Critskrieg in action! I'm quite disturbed by the un-shinyness of the actual charge. No one's even going to notice there's a critzkrieging going on until they start seeing some Soldier critting nonstop. And that's gonna be horrible with Heavies and Pyros when you can't actually see the crits. All you're going to see is your teammates mowed down. That's going to be nasty.
But yeah, that seemed pretty devastating. Even with the Soldier backing away and reloading at some point, they still killed pretty much everyone there.
(...I'm changing my mind about the Critskrieg again, I might wanna get it after all. If I only could.)

And second of all, and the real reason I can't stop watching the video: Goldrush. I can't WAIT to actually get to play it. That really narrow tunnel after the first checkpoint? Going to be hell. Imagine some critzkrieged Pyro charging the entire escorting BLU team there... and oh man, that map's going to be a real challenge for BLU Engineers. I figure teleporters can make a world of difference after the first checkpoint is cleared. And you'd have to move them up all the time. I wonder how much chaos can one well-placed offensive sentry cause... if an Engie can slip past the defenses... I really wanna see what offensive Engineers can cook up on that map.

Anyway, I just know I'll love Goldrush.

Seriously, people. Christmas.

And Meet the Scout in nine hours on Gametrailers, apparently. I'm actually thinking of staying up to watch it when it comes out. Or then I'll go to bed, have the alarm go off when the video comes out, watch it, and go back to sleep.

Yes, I am that much of a geek.

Also there was an article (which I've seem to lost... no, wait, here it is), where they mentioned that Engineer would be getting some updates too, apparently additional levels to teleporters (shorter recharge time) and dispenser (faster healing).

And uh, I'm going to break my own rules again, but once Goldrush comes out, I'm going to play it first as Soldier. Sorry, me! Because Soldier's safe class, and it's easier for me to get to know the map when I can go where I want to and explore places (I'm a tunnel-vision Medic, I just follow people. I'll never get to know the map that way). Scout would be perfect, but I don't do Scout. I could go Pyro, though, but Soldier's still more reliable for me.
