Welcome to my channel! I'm making guides, gameplay videos, and video essays on Team Fortress 2 and usually about the Pyro - however, I definitely plan on doing a wider variety of content in the future including Minecraft and any popular games that have yet to be released!
For exceptionally different content and genres (MMO games, any future popular games, etc), I'll probably make a second channel in the future, and this channel will be dedicated to video gaming, gameplay, gaming tips, game news announcements, and gaming guides (mainly TF2, Overwatch, League of Legends, CSGO, Minecraft, etc).
If you enjoy my videos then please like, subscribe, and comment with any feedback or suggestions so I can make my future content even better!

The Bots Are Gone; What Now? - TF2
Valve removed the bots, but is everything perfect? Should the community boycott the update or not? Here's my thoughts.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2), developed by Valve Corporation, is a popular team-based first-person shooter that has enjoyed a long-lasting community since its release in 2007. However, in recent years, the game has been plagued by a significant issue: a bot crisis. This crisis has severely impacted the gameplay experience, leading to widespread frustration among players and prompting the emergence of the FixTF2 movement. This essay explores the nature of the TF2 bot crisis, the problem of cheater bots, and the efforts of the FixTF2 movement to address these issues.
The TF2 bot crisis refers to the proliferation of automated players, or bots, in the game's public servers. Bots are programmed to perform specific actions without human intervention, and in TF2, these bots often exhibit cheating behaviors, such as using aimbots, wallhacks, and speed hacks. These cheater bots disrupt the balance of the game, making it difficult for legitimate players to enjoy fair and competitive matches.
The crisis began to escalate around 2019 and 2020, when the number of bots in public servers increased dramatically. These bots were not only cheating but also spamming chat with offensive or disruptive messages, further degrading the gaming experience. The situation became so dire that many players found it almost impossible to join a match that was not overrun by bots.
Cheater bots are a specific type of bot programmed to use various forms of cheats to gain an unfair advantage in the game. In TF2, these cheats often include:
Aimbots: Software that automatically aims and shoots at enemies with perfect accuracy, making it nearly impossible for human players to compete.
Wallhacks: Cheats that allow bots to see through walls and other obstacles, giving them an unfair awareness of enemy positions.
Spinbots: Bots that spin rapidly while shooting, making them hard to target and avoid.
These cheater bots can be extremely frustrating for legitimate players. Their presence undermines the skill-based nature of TF2, as human players are unable to compete on an even playing field. The constant disruption caused by these bots has led to a decline in the active player base, as many long-time fans of the game have chosen to leave rather than deal with the frustration.
The bot crisis has had a significant impact on the TF2 community. Public servers, which were once vibrant spaces for casual and competitive play, have become battlegrounds dominated by cheater bots. Many players have expressed their frustration on forums, social media, and within the game itself, calling for Valve to take action.
The crisis has also affected the content creation community. Streamers and CZcamsrs who produce TF2-related content have found it increasingly difficult to create enjoyable and engaging videos. The presence of bots makes it challenging to record fair and entertaining matches, leading some content creators to shift their focus to other games.
In response to the bot crisis, the FixTF2 movement emerged as a grassroots effort to draw attention to the issue and demand action from Valve. The movement began in earnest in 2022, when players started organizing on social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Discord.

Why do I play pyro 1: burning is fun, always enjoy a flame thrower in games like this 2: I love his character, it’s not just his playstyle I like I also love the character
Updated info on airblasts: since TF2 transition from 32 bit to 64 bit, pyro's airblast in not a cube but a cone.
I've been playing this game since 2017 and it took me till today you realise you can manually detonate the detonater, how am i this dumb?
Thanks so much for the info, and for being very specific. I¿m new and i didn't know about the passive reload, plus, i was confused because quick comboing wasn't working for me, but with how you explained it and using Q instead of manually picking plus the very important detail of keeping left click pressed throughout (it really isn't obvious for someone who doesn't already feel familiar in tf2 and it's pretty specific to this game, as simple of a detail as it may seem), it worked for me, thank you! and thanks for the training bit
2:14 He made Graduation got me rolling 💀💀
I am too used to literal WW1 tactics and always fire the flamethrower in short bursts, which gets me killed most of the time
Music name?
one reason to use stock over degreaser as a reflect heavy pyro is people just don't expect you to reflect cause it's not the sweaty weapon. this gets me a few extra kills each game but im not gonna lie, i exclusively use stock cause i like its model more lol
Ah yes, my favorite Mortal Kombat character
As a spy main, i started playing pyro as self harmful experience and to learn how to avoid my counter (you can not avoid it, just hope he doesn’t press M1 when you’re in front of him)
3-4 hrs I'd say, kinda shit loll
Damnn
pyro main, solidly in novice territory. gonna take that as a win since i only have 4 hours as pyro
can you make an updated combo pyro guide?
Pablo would be 17 by now witch is insane to think about he might be a pub stomping god now
A feat so insain tounting in the middle lf a fight while kritzed had to be done
When I first started playing tf2 (2011 or so) I assumed that when you airblast that is a burst of some flammable gas from your flamethrower, so I would light people on fire and then spam right click thinking it makes the flames do more damage. Good times.
im the stage 8 and doing the combo pyro still trying to advance to a better pyro :)
And then there's Anthid, who does insane combo stuff with stock and it honestly blew my mind, bearing in mind that I stopped playing before Tough Break and didn't return until the dark ages after Jungle Inferno. Honestly I'm kind of torn on either, the fact that you can still do combo on stock is very appealing, however you do make a good case for degreaser's switch speed giving you better reaction times.
In my opinion, the degreaser is far better then the Stock for a couple reasons: 1. If your combo'ing properly, you won't have to rely on afterburn damage to finish the job. A lot of combo's, like Degreaser + Panic Attack or Degreaser + Most Flare Guns, deal very high damage, making it very easy to kill most classes (with the exception of Heavy) if you line up your shots correctly. However, it does take a good bit of skill to do, so newer players would likely be better off with Stock. Experienced Players though can have a field day though, whooping the enemy team. 2. As long as you are careful with your Airblasts, the measly 2 missing airblasts you get from the degreaser can be entirely ignored by A. Just having an Engineer on your team. Or B. Playing around Ammo Packs more. Again, this is for mostly experienced players, but if you have an Engineer on the team, who will most likely place the dispenser in a easy to reach area not far from your team, its almost nonexistent.
I recommend teaching yourself to react based off of sound when going against the faster rockets and grenades. Your hearing reacts faster than your vision
Hello mr pirate. I am curious what your opinion is on the gas passer change?
I never get the degreaser, and every time I go to a trading server nobody wants to trade it or they ask for way too much.
Whats his hat called?
The airblast hitbox segment is sadly outdated, the 64bit update nerfed the shit out of it and made it a cone 💀
Can you complete my contracts for me 🧍♀️
Does anyone know why pyrovision doesn't work on Phlogistinator?
on stage 1 i paid for the phlogistinator, then on stage 2 i got scorch shot, and i pretty much skipped to stage 5
Everyone who says "W+M1 WAHHHH BLA BLAAAA" ever heard of Heavy w+m1?
According to this video. I am in the Novice stage. I got like 5 hours on Pyro.
This is a good video, but are there any Community servers that allow character skin and voice mods?
Nice video mate, clear, concise information and editing. Reported for having your ytb handle as steam name :)
Crazy.
We cant forget a secret hidden stage. When the pyro main pays for art of their new fursona
Honestly i love Pyro and i love being a Pyro main
I’m actually an pyro main, when my team tells me that there’s spy classes I’ll stay near important players to protect them!!
YOU HAVE TO HOLD RIGHT BUTTON BEFORE JUMP THE WHOLE TIME WEAPON WAS IN A GAME? WHAT THE HELL DID WE EVEN PLAYIN THE SAME GAME ANYMORE
Does it also work for the scorch shot?
normal det-jumps where you shoot the flare on the floor then crouch-jump do work with the scorch shot and honestly with every other soldier rocket launcher. However, only with the detonator you get to detonate your flare right when you shoot it by pressing both left-click and right-click. this gives you more power for horizontal jumps to reach more distance compared to normal shots on the floor.
Whenever i use pyro i use fragons fury because its more fun, and i only have like 10 hours with him
What’s crazy is that even after 1,000 hours I think I used the phlog for about 5 in total. I can’t play without airblast.
Someone replay to me randomly on the 18 im on a beach vacation and i need to be on this server the first thing I do when i get home
"we're team fortress and you're dead" - miss pauling in comic six "the naked and the dead"
Me who dosent have the right flamethrower 😔
Now, (chuckles) let’s go enjoy the game in peace.
I get that its fun and a skill expresion, but i just dont see whats the point of using the combo play style over the others, like you can delete light classes now but you can already do that with defensive or ofensive weapons Its putting too much into killing one light class Or idk maybe im just lazy and bad
