We even have have a special guest to take Eric's place this week... Bitburner from Minecrap.com! Join us while we discuss Notch's superspecial new hat, the rehash of last week's Saint's Row content, and a host of preposterous new weapon ideas from Watson.

CP 119: A Stern Talking To

Wed, 9 Nov 2011 04:30:00 -0600

It's been a spooky, spooky week. So we rehash our experiences with Eyeaduct, ponder the stern talking to we got from Valve, talk about sliding sappers, discuss an all-star TF2 mix-up, and find out what we look like in our listener's head.

CP 114: Mojache The Moon Princess Returns!!

Wed, 5 Oct 2011 02:00:00 -0500

Riding down out of the clouds on a Pink Unicorn, Rob Moran, aka Mojache the Moon Princess, brandishes her heavy shotgun, unleashing Hale's Storm on everyone. Which apparently causes Spencer to cuss and use oil in various ways, which in turn, makes Eric edit alot, and madness ensues! Join us this week as we discuss what's happening in the Control Pointisphere.

CP 113: TFC

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 02:00:00 -0500

TFC? Yeah you know me.. now the campaign to make it free! Now that would be a decree, and please stop listening when we talk about the bee. Cause it's not a fun topic you see. Be free, the the dwpp. That's right, I said free. Like this episode, 113.

CP 111: Burnt Coplan

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 03:55:00 -0500

Another week, another story of Brent's magnificent shotgun. You'd think we'd get tired of the topic, but we keep getting to hear about how freakin' awesome it is. And now we even get to watch him frag us with a phallic rocket launcher. So instead, we fly away to a faraway place where we dream of haberdasheries for hardware, the origin of the heavy's lunch, and overenlarged scouts. Bon Voyage!

CP 110: Trading Schmading.. WHERE'S ERIC?!

Wed, 7 Sep 2011 01:53:00 -0500

The DWPN Just isn't the same without Eric Fullerton, and neither was this episode. In an Homage to Eric, I am writing this post in the past, looking at the future. A sort of posting Time Travel. He digs that stuff, and he digs that guy from Evil Dead as well. Anyways, he's at Dragon*Con and we've got a guest this week, Commander Schwegs, from the Unusual Trading Community who is going to tell us how to fill our backpacks up, without having to beg audience listeners for extra gear! Though we'll still do that.. It just wouldn't be the same...ya know. Enjoy.

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:00:00 -0500

Here at the CONTROL POINT OFFICES, we are dedicated to bringing you the most compelling programming that we can. And in our hundreds of hours of TF2 podcasting, we have found no more engaging content than discussing which weapons we are currently using with each class. The intricate nature of why someone would choose a given weapon over another is the pinnacle of our craft. And so, we'd like to include you in this superior week of broadcasting magnificence.

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:38:00 -0500

Control Point breaks new ground with our riveting, real-time trading. We test the new beta trade system by "doing it live", and boy-howdy does it make for compelling audio. You'll gasp as you hear Brent try to find the beta authorization menu on his Mac. You'll tremble as you hear Spencer actually engage in a trade with Brent! You will gawk as the trade actually completes! It's like magic... on the radio!

There are a few little stupid things, okay I’ll be honest, there are alot of stupid things going on in this episode. Other not-so-stupid things consist of an announcement of the Demo/Soldier update, more TF2 lore, and Wes as a furry. Yes, that last one was quite stupid.

Because of some issues with the Ooberservers agreement, the mods take over this podcast.

But don’t be surprised if your 4 lovable hosts make an appearance on today’s show. Ok, but seriously. This week we had an issue where the first 1/2 of the podcast was destroyed somehow during the recording (remember how I said, ALWAYS make a backup — well we didn’t)
Anyways, we still have the Listener Contributions section, so instead of not airing this one or holding off till we could re-record, we felt we should go ahead and put it out there, so without further ado, Episode 25:

Every once in awhile, we visit conventions or lan parties and do a live podcast from there. Such was the case with our visit to OmegaCon. The one thing you can almost always expect from live podcast are technical difficulties, and this one was no exception.

[MP3 AUDIO]

But don’t fret! We have backups and though the audio might not sound as good, it will get better through the podcast, as the Jelly Fish sauntered away.

CP 10: The Christmas Episode

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 03:09:00 -0600

[MP3 AUDIO]

We hope you enjoy “The Christmas Episode”, but and as an added bonus below is our version of “The night before Christmas”:

The Night Before 2-Fort
‘Twas the night before 2-fort, when all through the house
Not a player was stirring, not even a scout
The supply kits were stacked by the respawn with care,
In hopes that the engineer soon would be there;
The players were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of crit shots danced in their heads;
And llamas in their bases, as i begin my sap,
Had just settled down for a long briefcase cap,
When out on the bridge there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the sniper deck to see what was the matter.
Away to the heavy I flew like a flash,
Blew open the soldier and pyro I bashed.
The heavy on the bridge with a medic in tow,
Gave the bluster of a slavic before the reload,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a dispenser placed there by our engineer,
With a little old scout, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be devil turnip.
More rapid than eagles, our scouts they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now, SPY! now, HEAVY! now, MEDIC and SNIPER!
On, DEMO! on SCOUT! on, PYRO and SOLDIER!
To the top of the deck! down the spiral hall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As soldiers that before the blue team they fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, rocket jump to the sky,
So down to the intel room the scouts they flew,
With the floor full of stickies, and sentries too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the mic
The fragging and pwning of each little tike.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the spiral the soldier came with a bound.
He was dressed all in red, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of rockets he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a moron as he gave his head a smack.
His bullets — how they twinkled! his taunts how funny!
His rockets were on target, his crits were money!
His droll little helmet was cocked to one side,
And the shovel on his back was along for the ride;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the demo who shot it, was standing beneath;
He had a broad face and a six round shotgun,
That shook, when he shot like a scout on the run.
He was lean and tall, a right solid old man,
And I laughed when I saw him, while fast I ran;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know i was about to be dead;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
He started rocket jumping; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the spiral he rose;
He sprang to the bridge, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the path of a missle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he rocket jumped out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-FIGHT.”
