TF2 101 : Getting StartedWelcome to the first edition of the Team Fortress 2 101 series, Getting Started. Here I’ll show you how to set up TF2 and go over some tips for beginners. Later editions will go more in depth on different aspects of the game, such as config files, maps and gametypes, and the different classes in the game. If you would like me to go over anything just let me know, either by posting a comment here, in the #strafeRight IRC channel, or emailing me at yankeedeuce at straferight dot com.
INS 101: Getting StartedInsurgency is a new total conversion mod for Half Life 2, currently on Beta 1.1. It is a realism mod, so you can’t just run and gun like you can in Counter Strike. Teamwork is neccesary to win. I’ve been playing this for a while now and love it, for an early beta it is great. There are a few bugs and glitches, but nothing that makes it unplayable. If you haven’t played INS yet, go download it and try it out. Read on and I’ll run through the basics to INS to get you started. I can see this game going places as long as the devs keep working on fixing the bugs and add some new features as well.
Source 101: Buy ScriptsIt’s been a while since I’ve done a Source 101, and I have a couple ideas for the next one. In the mean time though, I’m going to go over scripting for the Source Engine. I’ll be going over buy scripting and a few other things that will make your gaming easier. What I won’t be doing is showing you how to script stupid things like single/burst/auto firing or quick switching.
Source 101: DemosIn the last Source 101 I went over starting CS:Source and building an autoexec. In this installment I will cover recording and playback of demos. By watching demos of yourself and other players, you can learn from mistakes and recognize what worked in order to play better the next time.
Source 101: Getting StartedWelcome to the first installment of Source:101! In these articles I’ll be going over everything you need to be a better CS: Source player.

For the next articles I will be going over anything you want me to – just send me an email to yankeedeuce at straferight dot com or PM me on the forums with whatever you want me to answer.
