Blog Spotlight #4: TF2 Deathcam

Aaaannnndd we're back with Bog Spotlight Number 4! This week, we're featuring:

Team Fortress Two is a hilarious game- that's why we love it! One of the aspects with the most potential for hilarity lies in the loved-and-hated-in-equal-measure deathcam, which shows you your murderer for a few frustration-filled moments. Given the degree of ridiculousness the game encompasses, however, the deathcam often ends up capturing more than the fucking Sniper who just fucking headshot you through the fucking wall.

Ahem.

Anyway, tf2deathcam is a blog that showcases some of the funner deathcams people have been exposed to. The content ranges from amusing:

to bootylicious:

But it's not just the images that make this blog comedy gold. David, who runs the blog, adds his own commentary to a lot of the deathcams.

Panic strikes the Demoman as he realises that his hand isn’t carrying a bottle of whiskey.

As per usual, we interviewed David:

Q:Tell everyone a little about yourself.

My name’s David and I’m from the UK.

Q:Tell us a little about your blog.

I started the deathcam blog about two years ago as a way to just post silly things I saved from the game, a majority of the images I took myself and eventually the blog started getting more and more followers. My favourite deathcam images are usually the ones with silly rag dolls, suggestive poses or showing something that is just about to happen, frozen in time.

It’s hard to think of TF2 as a serious game any more, the community has changed it into something amazing, a place where we can eat sandwiches, trade hats, spy-crab or demopan. I love it. For me the blog tries to reflect that by capturing the moments frozen in time.

Q:How did you get into TF2?

I got TF2 about 3 years ago, it was just before it went free to play. For months I enjoyed the crazy Garry’s Mod videos that my friends were showing me and eventually I caved and bought the Orange Box. Initially I didn’t really like the game that much, but my friends helped me out and I got into the game soon enough. For me, the reason I keep playing TF2 and still find it enjoying is because the game has this sense of freedom and humour. I can join a random server and play seriously or I can find a prop-hunt server and just enjoy it. The community, whilst annoying at times is the best gaming community I have ever seen. I remember one time I was playing the game with a friend and there was a heavy on our team with a homeless heavy loadout, the beard and everything. We changed our loadouts to copy him the best we could and eventually we had 5 or 6 homeless heavies on our team, plus a few on the other. We would run around the map as a pack constantly spamming with the frying pan, we died many times, but it was awesome to be part of that moment. 

Q:What's your favorite class/character?

It’s hard to say what my favourite class is, I love playing as the Medic because It makes me feel like a good person, helping out those in need. I also like playing as the Heavy, I don’t really help the team I just run around giving people sandwiches and trying to get taunt kills with the Holiday Punch. When I play serious I’m usually the demo, soldier or medic. When I’m having some fun usually I’ll be heavy, demopan or sniper.

tf2deathcam is a great reminder of the silliness we all love in TF2. It's lighthearted and fun, and a fantastic blog to follow.
