I'll have to dig through the archives to find the server info, maybe I'll play a few rounds. I used to be good at being a healing bitch (but really, who isn't?), but I haven't played since before this item thing everyone is talking about was introduced.
I thoroughly enjoyed the arena matches yestereve. My favorite parts of the evening: Someone: You're going to have trouble killing those pyros as a soldier. Me: *obliterates pyros in two consecutive rounds* Have trouble killing who with the what now?
And also two ridiculous head-shots I got in Neito and Ro.
Just to add to the comedy, I was wearing two headsets. One is an old Plantronics headset that I had sound going through, and because I can't seem to get the analog mic to work I had an old USB Logitec mini headset on top of it for the mic. I looked utterly ridiculous.
TF2 really owns when someone manages to herd the cats that are pubbies and gets them to work together, preferably on both teams so there is a strategic battle. I'll bet you can guess how often that happens.
Something amusing just happened - I'm on red, playing spy, disguised as a blue spy. I run for cover while cloaked, trying to infiltrate, and run out of cloak just away from the line of battle - right in front of the blue spy, whose name and class I've got as my disguise. While he's disguised as the red spy, with my name. Awwwwwwwkward.

That happens to me a lot, as I mainly play Pyro (one of the prime targets for Spy disguises, because they have reason to be running back from the front lines, and nobody ever thinks to spy check the spy checker). There's always that moment of "What?" when that happens.

There is also a knife that disguises you as the class/name you just killed with a backstab, which isn't terribly useful against good players, because a good player will see the disguising process on the killcam, know what's going on, and tell his or her team.
In Weapons Factory, and I assume TF2 clan scrims, everybody spy checks everybody every time they see anybody. Cloaked or not, so much as being seen guarantees being caught.

GOOD players throw a couple shots at anyone they see, no matter what. He could've gone around the corner, stayed there for half a second, and then come back, and you check. Just in case.
Pubbies, however...
(I kinda wanna play a semi-serious match with Friendly Fire on, just for an added layer of fun.)

I do that ALL the fucking time, unless I see them fire their weapon - since the spy can't fire the class weapon, or fire without dropping disguise. Even if I saw them a few seconds ago, but they went out of my sight and came back.

I had one dude complain at me for it tonight, telling me to "stop trying to teamkill, you can't damage your team stupid". Fuckin' Eedjit.
What we need to organize is a proper scrim. Two (or four )teams, a date/time, and some rules of engagement. Make it a real thing. I'll put up with all the item bullshit in TF2 if we organize some for real god damned games.
Also, if you guys put this together and it happens, I'll commit to getting my CS server back up on the FIOS. (It's only off now as I plan to take apart the room for cleaning and re-arrangement). ;^)

Co-Lo must be nice...
Anyway, I've busted into my sister's machine and having her steam install TF2. She should be playing with us tonight.
oh well screw that then

Is it bad if my brain is so gui-centric that I need to open up my FTP client to remember my own directory structure? Fuck me...
Tomorrow, gentlemen. Tomorrow, you gonna get sniped.

It was fun. I'm not good at the game, but it's amusing.
I do enjoy killing people as a Medic. That's quite possibly one of the most amusing things to experience.

I've found I like playing Scout, mostly because I suck at every other class.
Or am I completely forgetting the match-up?
