Today the Sandman's baseball saved my life
...by deflecting a demoman's grenade mid-flight. At least I think that's what I saw.
Is that really possible? Has anyone else see this before?

Was there a pyro around? Maybe he deflected it with the air blast.

Almost all types of projectiles can hit each other mid-air. As Demoman, I've hit other Demoman's pills with my own, I've seen rocket hit each other, etc.
It pretty much never happens, but it's super cool when it does.

There really needs to be a slow-mo mod (is there?) like you can do in ssb.

Interesting. Does this cause an fps-hit?

Only if the recording was simply video. Some source recorders will actually replay the physics of everything inside the source engine, if I recall correctly. So using "slow-mo" wouldn't drop the fps, and if you were to use a command such as host_timescale, it would actually increase it.

I've played on a server that put on slow-mo mode once. It was pretty epic, especially when someone started playing Clubbed to Death through HLSS.

I kept reading the title as though you were going to make a joke about "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life".

lol, as I thought you were making a joke about the PSA's in London, but then wikipedia told me about a song that I've never heard of by the same name... either way, I like it.

I once collided huntsman arrows with another Sniper's huntsman arrow. At least I'm pretty sure I did, since they both just stopped midair and fell to the ground.

I've done it several times before and it's a treat every time. It usually only happens when there is a lot of action and the demo is just spamming grenades.

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?

If it can work with a huntsman arrow, it can work with a baseball.

not possible

Definitely seen it before.
I belive most, if not all projectiles (not counting bullets) can collide with each other. I once shot a rocket out of the air with a huntsman, if I saw correctly.
Definitely seen that before too. I think there's a youtube link in the archives of the steam user's forums that depicts just such a thing.
Please post if you can find it.
