The Gold Rush & Medic Achievements Update came out a few days ago. I was lucky enough to be one of the very first people to update my client and start “achieving” right away! Why? Because if you did a certain number of the 36 medic achievements, you get special unlockables.

Even though it took me ’til yesterday to get all three of them, I feel proud.

If you don’t have them yet, and you want them, go to the Nova Prospekt servers. Their servers are pretty much achievement-farming servers. It’s much better to achievement-farm when you have a microphone. If you don’t, you’ll probably get overlooked by the others.

Btw, the three unlockables are: the Blutsauger, Kritzkrieg, and Übersaw. The Blutsauger is a needle-gun that does no crits and drains enemy health for every successful hit. The Kritzkrieg is a medigun that ubers you faster, but instead of making you invulnerable, makes you do 100% criticals. And the Übersaw is just pure pwnage. It has a slower swing but every hit gives you +25% into your uber bar.

Also, the new map, Gold Rush isn’t bad at all. Valve made it to be super fun! I was slightly worried because of the fact that the early user-created “escort” maps were a piece of crap. I was under the impression that Valve released the tools to make cart maps before the actual release of Gold Rush. But. Valve did not fail with this map. I love it. You should really play it if you have TF2. NOW!

And yes, I have indeed been having lots of writers’ blocks with this blog. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’m under the impression that I suck at writing? ):
