Hey guys! If you haven’t heard, Team Fortress has finally started their 2nd annual Halloween special event, and in honor of that we’ve switched our second TF2 server “OGRETIME” into Halloween mode!
Until November 8th OGRETIME will be known as HALOLZWEEN OGRETIME, and it’ll feature 24-7 Halloween maps and more exploding pumpkins than you can shake a sticky bomb at! Be sure to stop by and play some TF2 with us!
Note: at times the server may be password protected. If it is, you can join by using password “bro4life”.

If you were watching BlizzCon 2010 on Saturday (like I was) and caught the costume contest, you may have noticed an unusual pinstriped addition this year. (For those impatient, skip to around the 2:45 mark.) Probably would have been funnier if it was a more Blizzard themed disguise, but hey when it comes to TF2 infiltration at a Blizzard con I’ll take what I can get!

So, after caving to demand (Get it? Cave? Mine? Minecraft! Whatever) we’ve gone ahead and setup our own Halolz Minecraft server! At first I was a little skeptical, but after the first day and seeing all this… including TDE’s Woodman made out of actual wood (IRONIC) I will admit that this was a great idea.
So for those of you who have Minecraft, you can login with IP 74.70.203.230:25252. We are capping the server at 16 people however, so if you can’t get in right away you may have to try again later. Also we may be setting up a whitelist in the near future, so be sure to be respectful to other people’s stuff on there or you may end up banned.
Have fun!
UPDATE:
We have changed the address simply back to 74.70.203.230 (no port needed) and activated the whitelist. If you would like to play on the server contact me on Steam (StacMaster-S) or email us at editors[at]halolz.com and we will try to get you added as soon as possible!

[audio:http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/fancast/halolz-fancast-ep001.mp3]
Behold! It is episode one of the Halolz Fancast! What is the Halolz Fancast? A roundtable of your favorite Halolz community regulars discussing video games and interviewing special guests!
And who is the special guest in this premiere episode? Why none other than myself, Shawn Handyside! Listen as they ask me probing questions about my deep seated emotional trauma from when I drank kerosene as a child! Marvel as I pretend to pay attention to the conversation while I play FarmVille in the background!
This episode features your hosts:
Pheonix, Twohats, Haru, Daifkuku, and Badonk
With special guest: Shawn Handyside!
Note: Badonk would like me to point out that this was a test run style first episode and they plan to improve it greatly starting with episode two! Also, the news in this episode might be a little behind because of delays in editing and my hosting the show on the site.
Enjoy!

So if you hadn’t heard… there was a huge TF2 update today, making it the perfect time to announce that due to the overwhelming popularity our Halolz TF2 server, we’ve gone ahead and setup a second one! This new server, called Gentleman Heavy’s OGRETIME!! (in honor of our favorite raging server admin) will be for special events, custom mods, the Highlander Tournament, and any other fun stuff we feel like using it for!
Also I figured this was a great time to post this wonderful artwork done by Celestial298 for our server! Gentleman Heavy is a class act all the way! Keep your eyes peeled for him in the next spray pack!

Huh, I just realized we’re pretty behind on promoting our latest batch of shirt designs! Time to get caught up!
Our first one is Dood of War, based on the original photoshop by my pal Trunks! Who doesn’t love a battle-ready prinny?
The design is currently available on Ninja-Bot in both mens and ladies sizes starting at $17.99. Be sure to pick one up and help support the site!
