Join PTD for the Fourth of July Firefight

Happy Birthday, America! In celebration of our fine country growing one year older, PTD will be playing a special ‘we’re not leaving the house for fireworks’ Friday Night Firefight tonight. We’ll be playing Team Fortress 2 on the new servers, and will be giving door prizes out to a random player that join us tonight.

Fill up on your barbeque now, wash it down with a beverage or two, and stay inside where it’s cool. The gaming starts tonight @ 8:00CST, and will run until our finger fall off. If you haven’t already, join our Steam community to keep you in the loop (it’s invitation only - you can get an invite in the forums), and jump into our forums and join all the cool kids.

We’ll see you online!

Join the PTD Staff for TF2 tonight!

It’s Friday night, dear reader, and that can only mean one thing. We’ve spun up a new Team Fortress 2 dedicated server and are ready to frag you to oblivion. If you’ve got a copy of Team Fortress 2, point your server browser to tf.ptdmagazine.com and join us starting at 9:00PM CST. We’ll play until our eyes bleed or the sun comes up, which ever comes first.

We’ll also be awarding random “door prizes” to players, so make sure you pop in and see what’s up.
