Hello and welcome back to Fakkeltalk. This weeks article is a little late so we decided to make up for it. For todays episode we bring you one of TF2′s alltime heroes together with the less known but equally sexy Tedman. Their gaming carreer’s started together in Natural Selection under the flag of IDAC. After playing NS, IDAC moved to TF2. After briefly playing at high level IDAC members slowly started quitting TF2. Ryb quickly ended up in the team now called Dignitas and Tedman went to the coolest clan on earth FakkelBrigade!!
We start the conversation off with smalltalk…
Ryb: Hello
Tedman: Hi, my penis is big.
Jonni: straight to the point then ted!
Jas: Hi guys, lets get started.
Tedman(speaks his mind): I can beat rybs little brother with tekken on ps2.
Ryb: It’s true, but I can beat my little brother too.
Jonni: Since we’re on the topic of different games. What other games have you played before your glorious carreer’s in TF2?
Ryb & Tedman: Natural Selection!!!!!
Ryb: Yeah I used to play Natural Selection with Tedman for IDAC. I guess I also used to be pretty good at counter strike.
Tedman: yeah NS was awesome, me and Ryb were skulk-buddies. Running along the walls and chewing on people together. sweet!
Jas: whats your best experience with FB Tedman?
Tedman: i dunno, every time i get drunk theyre really nice to me… i think thats nice.. I like playing with FB, they’re not a regular clan, kinda like IDAC.
Jonni: did you know that we put drugs in your drinks and have our way with you?
Tedman: oh i didnt know that, i’ll bring you to a drinking contest when I come to holland. You guys are even nice to me when sober, that’s a good thing.
Jonni: so Ryb, being at the top looking down, What is your view of FakkelBrigade?
Ryb: You guys seemed like a crazy clan with all your crazy names in it. When i first heard about you, i was like jonni the juiciest jew? crazy. I thought you guys weren’t so serious about TF2. Then things got better for you guys.
Jonni: IDAC came to TF2 as a whole and pretty early on right?
Ryb: Yeah I think we joined when TF2 was still in the beta stages.
Tedman: Yeah, the only thing I remember is that ESL censored our clan-name (In Die Analen Combo) and logo. They didn’t like the fact that we love our penis.
Jonni: since we’re on the penis subject, tell us more of the picture thats been circulating the FB family (Picture below, click to enlarge).
Tedman: I think i did a good job with that, I covered up the majority of my penis which doesnt happen often since I bought that kilt. I alway wear that without any boxershorts.
Jonni: sticking with the weird topics. I heard that Ryb’s mom made cookies for Tedman.
Ryb (surprised): umm yeah probably, I cant remember.
Tedman: Yeah i tell everyone about that. I got cookies from the famous demoman’s mom! it was a long time a go during Natural Selection and before TF2. I had to sleep at your place because I missed my last train.
Jonni: I bet you missed your train cause you wanted more cookies!
Ryb: Yeah with the big snowboard and the penis comments.
Jonni: Now on to the most obvious question. Ryb how does it feel to dominate in the TF2 scene for so long? I know from our relay’s you guys can easily get up to 600 spectators for a match.
Ryb: eerm yeah its pretty nice. You get used to it after a little while. We have to practice a hell of a lot to stay good though.
Jas: Do you ever find it difficult to play your class?
Ryb: Yes, when two scouts come for me and nobody comes to help me.
Jas: whats your secondary class?
Tedman: hah i dont have a secondary class… 20 hrs as sniper, guess thats it… but I’m a scout! RAWR!! also I need some more whisky.
Jonni: Aww yeah youre a scout at heart.
Tedman: Everything else is too slow, I want to be fast and whoop ass!!
Ryb: lol! umm i can play anything…soldier is fun i guess, it has explosives and it can rocket jump.
Jonni: Ive heard rumours that IDAC may be coming back.
Ryb: yeah we’re probably gonna go towards natural selection 2
Jonni: well that’s in the future. A more recent event. A lot of people found it strange how you guys took appz over rebelli, why? appz has been out for a long time and Rebelli seemed to be in top shape. We played you guys when he was trialing :S
Ryb: we wanted someone who could duel the scouts, y’know.
Jas: fair enough. On to the rough stuff: either of you two have a girlfriend yet?
Tedman: nope
Ryb: nope
Jonni: thats another call for Egirls out there!
Jas: we should really do a lonely hearts ad! any embarassing stories you want to share with us?
Tedman: well its not very embarassing for me, more so for her. I was kinda drunk, blacked out. Woke up between the legs of this girl at 5 AM. I told her I had to go to the dentist. (I actually had to go!) and then I just went to the dentist without brushing my teeth first. with the smell of: kebab…beer…vomit…vagina… and a random assortment of other things coming out my mouth.
Jonni: so she saw pubes in your teeth?
Tedman: yeah she just kinda had a look and then said yup everythings fine!
Jas: and you ryb?
Ryb: I dont have one… I’m a robot
Jonni: Oh my god he finally confirms it!
Tedman: but you always do something stupid Ryb, come on.
Jas: Ryb seems like an angel compared to tedman, how are you both friends?
Tedman: I’m an angel too!
Ryb: Yeah we were skulk buddies and once you go IDAC you can’t go back.
*Tedman and Ryb reminise about the old days*
Jas: What do you do outside of TF2?
Tedman: right now – skateboarding
Ryb: I study
Tedman: I win ryb! allthough I could have said that I work. but work is boring. I skateboard!
Jas: What do you study?
Ryb: Game development.
Jas: I wanted to do that but there’s no instant money there.
Jonni: Well I think that’s enough for today. I’ll finish off with two more pictures that Tedman really wanted me to show everyone. On the left it’s Captain Cockblocker (Tedman) and in the right picture you see Tedman proudly taunting on his hippie-van. (Click to enlarge)
Tedman: Thanks!
Well that’s it for our third blog post, we hope you liked it. Stay tuned for more insights to interesting players next week!
