I'd like to thank everyone played, we got some great data from it. However, after talking it over with my teacher, we decided that I would need more control over the test and the participants in order to make the whole thing more scientifically rigorous. If you are interested in helping and are available to play for one or two hours some time in the next few weekends, please add and message me on steam with what classes you would be willing to play. There will most likely be some sort of reward for helping.

Thank You!

(The experiment is on map symmetry for those who were wondering)

Here, put this in your tf2 maps folder

Goddamn it, I'll upload it to dropbox

And I'd rather keep the experiment blinded for now, though it should be easy to figure out.

Hello all, I'm doing a project for school that involves Team Fortress 2 and game design. For this, I need volunteers to join the server below and play a few rounds of tf2 on a viaduct and an edited version of viaduct. This server will be running for several weeks, so feel free to stop by anytime and play. There are no skill requirements, you could be b4nny himself or have just downloaded the game a few minutes ago, please come and play.

Map download (Required to play): https://www.dropbox.com/s/bh37255b4dgy3f9/koth_viaduct_exp.bsp

These don't work on an Iphone, they're impossible to view

Right, now that the SDK is patched up again, I've released a6, which fixes the above problems plus some misc issues around the map.

Supernatural club sort of deal, god-tier dialogue and great sequential art

Some more urban Sci-fi, pretty good, art starts out horrible but gets better

This webcomic is just so fucking good. Characters, art, everything. 1920's speakeasy story set in St. Louis. Absolutley brilliant, updates once every blue moon. Definitely pick this up.

A5 is out and ready for download:

Changes:
-Improved spawns
-Nerfed middle top route, closed off access straight from spawn
-Added route between left and middle top
-Minor adjustments at middle
-Added some water as a way to avoid fall damage
-Added some cover below the point

Definitely not my kind of music. Entire thing just felt flat.

Not too hard. If you are gonna pick it up, definitely get this: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=4674

Is there any reason the a/b -> c style of map seems to be preferred within comp? Or would you be fine with a linear a/d map?

Crushed by a falling piano.

Since you didn't specify I'm gonna just assume you're the snake.

Here's the full details:
