Team Fortress 2 Eureka Effect and XFire Syncing Test
Channel: FNBNFungeek
Date: 26/12/2011

Hello everyone, good to be back on Youtube! This here was very much just a test of the XFire system. It ran ok but the recording quality could have been a bit better. This was just a test of the Audio/Video Sync then anything else, though I could always use a hand in working out the lag problems.

Some things to know about this video:
1. The Weapon being demoed here is the new Engineer Wrench from the Australian Christmas Update Part 1 known as "The Eureka Effect." This is a futuristic melee item that works as a normal wrench typically would. This is special because it allows the engineer to instantly teleport back to his team's spawn after a short taunt animation, instantly recovering all health, ammo, and metal as he does so. The only real drawback is that you cannot pick up and move buildings and must destroy them to change position. While it IS a pretty fantastic item that looks amazing, the Southern Hospitality fits my style better because as you see in this video, I like to smack things around with my wrenches. :P

2. One of my friends was in game with me that night. He typically goes by the name "Sly 'Karma' Cooper" on For Noobs By Noobz. However you cannot hear my responses to him in this video (maybe something to improve on for the future?) although you can hear him in our open steam voice chat window. This is also why I crouch randomly through the video as well. Ctrl is the key set to Crouching and Activating my mike on steam chat.

3. We were playing on a Trade Server for Team Fortress at the time, where surprise surprise, no one was actually trading. :O The game that he was trying to give away here he won from a Steam Contest called Pile o' Gifts I think. Eventually he gave it to me, and it might be something for me to review one of these days. For now I hope you enjoy the video despite it's hellish laggyness. :P
