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.”
This week we take a break from the maps discussion to join the SNAPL group during their Lan party. Listen in to see what transpired throughout the evening and early into the morning.

Why not give the Scout a mirror on a stick? Sounds useful to me.
[MP3 AUDIO]

I know it sounds pretty obvious, but sometimes the obvious is obvious because it’s obvious. Discussing “Obvious Gameplay Points that People Forget” this week with guest host: Johnny Napalm!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Achievement Farmers: Be Warned! Server admins are fighting back! We discuss a very controversial subject with special guest msleeper.

[MP3 AUDIO]
The Scout update gives us much to talk about!
[MP3 AUDIO]

[MP3 AUDIO]

Control Point listeners from all over the place came together in Huntsville, AL. It was a wonderful weekend. There were 13 people in the studio this week. The first 6 minutes was missing, so I used a rather crappy sounding backup, but it’s all there. Enjoy!

[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Hey, HEY, hey! Welcome to the pe-pe! I got sumpthin to say-ay! CP all the way-ay! (Yeah, I have no real idea where I'm going with this, either.) But yeah... so... umm... this week we have Mr. Eagle! That's something of note, right?
[MP3 AUDIO]
Halloween is here, and so is Hemanena. That’s right, we have a female scout in the studio this week! It’s time for a sugar high, it’s time for episode 94!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Bonjour! This week we’re talking about what causes TF2 to be rated “M”. Can a game be considered art? Secret Santa… CPCon3… Time Travel… all of this, and bad French accents too!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Come on in and listen to our interview with TheOrangeDoor about the functional Sentry gun that he built out of LEGOs. Also there’s some discussion about the drama that Valve has been creating regarding cheaters. Topping off this episode is our first live call-in segment. It’s action packed I tell you!
[MP3 AUDIO]
An interview with a Spy superstar!
[MP3 AUDIO]
[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
This week's episode features Madlep of Ubercharged.net. Broadcasting from his car, we get his opinions on the Cow Mangler, we repeatedly try to correctly pronounce "Grordbort", and we pretend to be dissapointed in Mr. Eagle.
[MP3 AUDIO]
It’s time that we catch up on some listener contributions.
[MP3 AUDIO]
So much happened this week, Classless Update, a map contest, tons of contributions and 3 new songs! In this episode, we go OVERTIME!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Skill-less spamming Demoman. Those new to Sniper, use Huntsman. Girls play Pyro. Backburner is for n00bs. All Scouts are kids hyped up on caffeine.
[MP3 AUDIO]
[MP3 AUDIO]
STATUS! STATUS! You know you'll never get sick of it... it's delightful... and magnificent... and you'll never, ever, EVER get sick of that bumper. 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.
We are at PlayOnCon this week. There's lots of people in the audience, among them is the awesome 4L clan. They are awesome!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fight!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Bot crotch?
[MP3 AUDIO]
We have something pretty amazing to share with you this week! We think it’s amazing anyway.. thanks Valve!
[MP3 AUDIO]
…more like Revolution of a TF2 Player!
[MP3 AUDIO]
[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
This week we're joined by Blue from 4L. We discuss how scouts should never aim, which wiki is "f'n trash", and how to ask terrible quickfire questions on the fly.
[MP3 AUDIO]
This is the closest we’ve gotten to being linked on the official TF2 blog. Eric is back this week, and we discuss a new game mode, debate about spoilers, and watch a few TF2 videos.
[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
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!
[MP3 AUDIO]
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!
[MP3 AUDIO]
This week we trade out Wes for Maz, bringing us some Aussie flare, or is he from Alaska? Don't confuse Maz with the famous John Mazz, who gets a few mentions in this very episode.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Beginning of a new paradigm in entertainment? Or just the twisted ravings echoing from a gaggle of lunatics? We vote the latter.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Summer breeze, makes us feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in our mind.
[MP3 AUDIO]
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.
[MP3 AUDIO]
No Listener Contributions, no Surveillance, no RapidFire questions, just good clean TF2 discussion. Joining us this week is Johnny Napalm, Mr.Eagle, Hemanena and Sabrina.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Look who's back!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Eric is sick this week, but on an unrelated topic… The Announcer’s lover is revealed!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Hear ye brave knights of Control Point speaketh out to the kingdom as now they laid aside their swords and hold aloft their booming microphones. Why dost thou read this and not listen to episode 95 immediately? Ye may all stand glad, knowing for the word of this merry ‘sode speaks poetry into your ear. Forsooth, Shawty.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Spencer is back! This time it’s for good. By the way, you know what Team Fortress 2 needs? Guard Dogs.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Does the title of this episode intrigue you?
[MP3 AUDIO]
This week is full of celebration! There’s the Windows 7 launch, a birthday, and we’re celebrating 90 episodes of opening the briefcase. It’s a party! Rubbarah!
[MP3 AUDIO]
Dear Valve, we are in the year 2009, how about instead of a console maybe you could give us a graphical user interface? Much thanks! -CP
[MP3 AUDIO]
A more in depth discussion about the new Sniper and Spy unlocks.
[MP3 AUDIO]
We are recording in front of real live people this time! In the midst of the convention, community members gather around the hosts, watching, participating, and being merry.
[MP3 AUDIO]
No love for BLU?
[MP3 AUDIO]
We decided to take the show in a new direction, mostly downward.
[MP3 AUDIO]
Johnny Napalm joins us today as we discuss a big update, a very serious cosplayer and celebrate his birthday.
[MP3 AUDIO]
We are live this week at the DWPP 2011. We have a full house so hold on tight!
[MP3 AUDIO]

[MP3 AUDIO]
