We're coming up on the five year anniversary of Watch Out for Fireballs!, and we want to celebrate this milestone by having playing a game that our whole community can enjoy. That's why we're covering Team Fortress 2, and setting up a private server (along with a Discord voice chat server) for our fans for the months of August and September.

Team Fortress 2 is a free-to-play game that you can easily get on Steam, and it will run on all kinds of machines.

You can find the connection instructions below.
