Yeah, I did it today. It came out pretty good.
Anyways, next video is probably gonna be about my new rig. :]

One of the differences between veteran spies and novice spies is having a third eye in regards to your timing. Some people think it's easy to do. Well sure, you can get *lucky*... but the truth is, most of what happens comes instinctively like "muscle memory" -- you have a plan, you know what to wait for, and BANG! all of it is instantaneous...

If you wish to be as good as that you gotta keep at it. I would recommend starting off with an easy server then once you keep dominating them move on to a more experienced server, and then to the next, and next. Remember, you are only as good as your opponents. "The only way to get better is to play against players better than you."

Second installment of the series. Credit to Fogoticus for helping

HyuugaFan91 the uber stun for the sandman was removed a while ago in a patch that nerfed the sandman. it's not a myth. neither is the crit rocket from a crit airblast :

Well I guess that's the last mythbuster video for awhile. Hope he makes more tho. Like the author said if you have a mythbuster question you can post it on their profile in youtube.

Ahhh... A variation of how to build in the back of badwater. This time using a medic uber to get through the guns.

And I think he did 6 over stabs in that video. Very good spy work!

One life as an offensive spy in Badwater. In this video you will see a wide variety of tactics used to take down engineers and their buildings, as well as some narrow escapes.

Hehe it was fun watching this. The music was awesome as well. But I can't say how skilled those engies were. But still it gives you an idea on what your priorities should be.

A basic stair stab trap.

I love this tactic because there's really nowhere to run once you fall down there. Problem with this tactic is you lose a gun on the cart. So if you're the only engineer in the team I would advice against doing this.

I've also seen this trap done by demo and pyros with backburner.

My first video detailing some of the more subtle tactics a pyro must learn, as well as how to deal with some of those pesky new unlocks.

An addendum to my first video, detailing more useful things to remember, particularly regarding the new stuff in the war update and on how to think on your feet

I guess it's coincidental that 2PaWC should be getting uploaded on the same day that the first installment breaks 50,000 views. I'm satisfied with how this video turned out. I imagine some people will have problems reading the text and comprehending their points while watching the frags, so I made the advising points at the beginning of the video.

The majority of material in this video had been out for just about a month while I did the majority of the work on this video (resulting in some less-than-rigorous testing), so I consulted top-competitive Soldier-player Seagull to revise my script and offer ideas for things that I should include in the video. A big thanks to him for agreeing to help!

I tried to make 2PaWC more polished than the first video by recording at 60 fps and blending the frames, using still frames to illustrate some points, by using a film-making HUD and by having an actual credit roll.

This is episode 3 of my Spy Guide, where I teach about shortcuts and Spy Capping. I think for the next episode I may start doing cutoffs, like splitting the episode into 2 parts, and uploading the full version on WeGame.
