Dunno what happened today. Most of my headshots never hit! Even a Heavy that was standing still. And my framerate drop a lot in the last part of Gorge today.

Also there are a few weapons in the game who's alt-functions are tied to the taunt key. Things like the taunt with the Huntsman, or the taunt with the Flaregun result in a very very close range insta-kill attack, they'te very hard to pull off. And taunting with the Medic's Amputator restores 100 health to every ally in a certain radius.

I was thinking something like that yesterday. It should probably be rebooted. I can do that tomorrow, or if Remy or Yeef are around (the experts) maybe they'd like to do it. :)
 
Having 200ms makes me sad. :( So many instances I could have lived but DR somehow didn't go up even after I right-clicked. I sometimes right-clicked twice but I ended up turning off DR as soon as it was triggered.

i'm gonna use this excuse today too

im not really complaining, i find alot of 32 or even some 24 player servers are often off on reg compared to smaller ones. its nothing major but it comes with the territory, probably comes from not being reset as often

Which one is rar?
Hmmm...thought I posted this...guess not?!

rar = pet
And sometimes pet = rar or his friend!?

And for people still complaing about stacks, take twiggy's advice (lol I know wut?!) don't worry about winning and just have fun.

If my team is trying, I don't get pissed, but if I see spah crabs and 3 snipers and no medics and griefers THEN the rage begins.

Though fucking HackerDude88 makes me rage too. Freaking facestabs! Don't think I've forgotten, Dude! :mad:

You know what really grinds my gears? People who touch the cart only when it's near a point. I'll move the cart BY MYSELF until about 10 feet from the cart where a soldier will blow me up. Then, all of the sudden, there are 3 teammates rushing to push the cart in. WHERE WERE YOU GUYS FOR THE LAST THREE MINUTES?

It's like those motorists who cut into a busy lane at the very last second to get ahead of all the other waiting cars.

This is me. Sorry but I was busy killing people before they could kill you while you were pushing the cart. You're welcome, JERKFACE. Gotta get muh 2 cap points though, I deserve it.

Yeah, right! You're probably at spawn looking at some guy's spray of spiderman eating a sandwich.
 
What annoys me are those who don't seem to know that the bomb will serve as a mobile bit of cover.

You'd be surprised at how far you can push it just by crouching behind it.

I have a feeling the item cap per week is now 11. Last time I got 11 items after idling overnight and last night idled and got another 11.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOOK OUT

But anyway, yeah, I can't tell you how many times I've capped a point by just crouching on the other side of the cart.

this game would be so much more fun if heavies didn't exist

its terrible playing against a 450 hp heavy with a tag-a-long medic, which always happens because most medics are automatically glued to any heavy they see. if my team is losing it forces me to have to play demo (which i dont really like to) to counter just so we can have a fighting chance, and even then its ridiculous. part of it has to do with the map design which in tf2 i find is really poor, but also the class has been overpowered since they increased the spinup speed and speed while revved and all the unlocks just made it worse. i understand some people find it fun but its laughable how easy it is to shoot up the scoreboard and dominate just by running heavy, and i dont understand how that can be a satisfying experience. the pub environment revolves around heavies.. yes there are counters to it like sniping, demo, spy but most players cant play those classes well enough to be effective

its frustrating, and yes i know im whining, but i just think its silly..

The short silly answer would be the heavy saying CRY SOME MOARRRRR. ;p

But the serious answer... You're pet who played competitive, right? And in competitive heavies are either almost useless, or hardly ever used, right?

And, natascha has been nerfed once or twice because of people complaining about that, right? Sandvich was adjusted. More mobility and defense with heavy definitely makes it better, which I think adds to the class. Demos do SO much damage, and I lost my medic with an uber to crit rockets etc. Even with 300-400 health I think you can die in seconds to demos and soldiers, whether or not they're even aiming directly at you. As a heavy, especially if the server is laggy, it can be super hard for me to even hit spies or scouts if they're right in my face (and scouts can jump high enough to literally be over your head and almost out of your vision if you're looking sideways, I think).

If heavies are dominating on offense, make your whole team heavy. Problem solved! Vice versa on defense. Heavy fortress! (alternatively, sentries + airblast + stickies + snipers on defense, heavies + pyros + snipers on offense) Plus killing medics whenever possible. It seemed like Toxic was constantly saving the blu team on hoodoo tonight, so a good medic can be a huge difference.

I like heavy and I want a class to be easy for me so I can easily kill lots of people, but I'm lame so yeah. :p

If we get rid of demos then I might be able to give up heavies. Fair trade!

Good games tonight on the gaf server. I had yet to play Payload before tonight, and it was great fun :D. Reminded me of my days with W:ET on Goldrush, escorting the tank/truck.

Man, I forgot about the escort aspect of some ET multiplayer maps. That game had so many good team aspects.

Anyone want to try a sci-fi TF2 with me?

Global Agenda is having a $9.99 sale at the moment, and the money goes to the Red Cross to aide Japan's relief effort. The sale doesn't appear to be on Steam, and this deal will last until Sunday.

BTW, there are no subscription fees! One time buy like Guild Wars.

Just throwing it out there!

I played the demo a few months ago. Seemed promising but I didn't want to splash the dough for it.

Hmmm...good timing. I'll let ya know if I buy.

I would't say heavies are the most used utility class. Definitely saw a lot of snipers, engies, and spahs too.

Really depends on what the scout is comfortable off-classing as.

Played with one dude who thought he was the shit with heavy since he played heavy on public servers. Dude got rocked 6 vs. 6 simply because people are more experienced there and knew to focus fire.

Man, that's the worst. Some people focus fire on the queen and then your hatchery goes down in no time flat, and you lose all the hats you had in the production queue. =(

Hey guys,
As my account has just been activated I would like to say hi. I'm a friend of that silly sausage Commissiar Bacon. I will often follow him in to the neogaf server, and despite my 200 ping, can enjoy myself. Still, I do remember the first time I visited the server and there was that one guy honking. I think server needs more honking.

What we really need is more odd horns, i.e. tugboat foghorns and tractor trailer horns. Some variety!

Hello guys, I'm kinda new to the game, so I don't know very well how trading works (much less crafting). I've found like 5 Mann Co. Supply Crates but I don't have any keys, so I was wondering if someone wants to trade, I also have an awful lot of jarates, but I think we all do.
 
After 900+ hours of TF2, I can officially say that I have truly become bored of the game. It's not fun for me anymore. I don't know why and I can't explain it either. Oh well.

RIP. At least you (maybe) got your money's worth.

(you'll be back after they introduce more hats in the next update, and you'll end up with like 1100 hours like me).

Yeah I've nearly reached that plateau and I'm at 550 hours.
 
I got burnt out on TF2 around Halloween (like everyone else did). I can say playing everything but FPS's helped a lot. Played Guild Wars, racing games, everything that didn't remind me of TF2... Now I'm back in TF2 and enjoying myself again :D
