Team Fortress 2

Suijin is super easy if you know how to play it. I posted earlier that when I played it the first time, I killed the most people as a Gunslinger Engie that set up shop in the Control Point area.

I can't really say it was the map, since I was charging around all over the place and had a small squad of scouts and demoknights dedicated to trying to kill me following me around looking for revenge.

*sits back and waits to see if there's a schmuck who's willing to spend 80+ bucks on a pink lightning stickybomber.*

There will be eventually. Trust me.

I've already proved that there will be.

*especially one I named "The Pink Panther"*

I had this one person friend me then try to trade about sixteen hats for the bomber. None of them looked good.

I remember when I first got the hang of demoknight. Got me a 23 killstreak.

Haven't manage to get more than a 4 head killstreak since though.

Demoknight's effectiveness is very server-dependent. Sometimes you get fifteen heads, sometimes you can't get one. And c'mon, mini sentries on KOTH is cheating.

Also, I take back everything bad I've said about Powerhouse. Had a game the other day that started pretty slow, mostly goofing around, but as the game dragged on (as Powerhouse is wont to do, respawn times means capturing last is an absolute pain), everyone started to put on their game faces. Fast forward a bit, and we had me and another Heavy with pocket Medics trying and failing to break last even with ubers, a couple Engineers that kept up a base in the pseudo-cap before last (teleporting us there and keeping up the pressure), and the entire enemy team constantly spawning so that I could get ubered, kill half a dozen people, and get mown down by the next ones. In the end we were able to overwhelm them, and I ended up with some 110 points (second in the server to a really good Scout on their team with 160+) and memories of one of the most fun games I've ever played.

I came off a powerhouse game not too long ago. Ended in a loss after an hour long round which was basically me as a gunslinger Engineer just about single-handedly propping up my teams incompetence. Ended the round with 200 ish points and ultimately lost because the rest of my team kept wandering off solo and in pairs against a red team that had a couple pub hero level players on.

Spent most of the round hunting down one very persistent huntsman sniper who took it upon himself to mess with me and my stuff and trying to keep my teleporters up on the front lines.

Well, the nerfed Dead Ringer seems to be harder to use so far, might have to switch to L'Ètranger in my usual YER/DR/Revolver/RTR loadout. And I really liked that Strange Revolver.

Also, Heavies feel far more effective now. That's good.

How does one strafe shot while zoomed in on a sniper?

I've tried this where I'm moving in the opposite direction my target is running and when the reticule and their body meet, I pull.

Am I doing this right?

Sniping is more about prediction than reaction. It's like playing space invaders; By the time you've pulled the trigger and the bullet's reached the end of it's path, the target has already moved out of the way. Having said that, a lot of potential targets rely heavily on your personal reflexes to take down, but rely on your ability to predict where they'll be by the time you've aligned your crosshair as well as requiring you to not hesitate. Ultimately, it just comes down to experience.

As in real-life shooting, always remember to lead your target if you want to hit someone/something moving. This is only made even more critical due to the fact that a video game's hit detection mechanic may often lag and deny otherwise perfect shots.

Lowered price to 23$ because some schmucks decided to hack it for 9.20.

That's actually a loss, if you look at it.

How do you hack it, exactly?

Term of phrase for sell. Hacking something can also mean selling something.

Ah, right. My bad.

Had an interesting day today. Was on Turbine as a Scoot, looking to fulfill a contract. I found an enemy doing the Kazotsky Kick in their own vent, so I joined them and just danced for a while. Then an enemy Scout ran up to me, stared at me for a couple seconds, then blasted me in the face and killed me.

I swore revenge upon him in the chat.

After respawning I proceeded to track him down and bludgeon him to death with the Wrap Assassin of all things, whittling his health down as he tried and failed to shoot me. I killed him this way three times.

And then just now I got kicked from a server for Pyrosharking, for some reason. "Stop Having Fun" Guys I guess.

Noob Question. What's Pyrosharking?

Camping water zones with the Pyro's Neon Annihilator melee, which crits wet players.

....that's a smart move.

So you got banned for being a boss?

I dunno. The guy on my team wouldn't shut up over the mic and was criticizing everyone else while saying "get rekt" and stuff, and I guess he eventually called a votekick on me for some reason.

The Neon Annihilator is actually pretty good if you've got a competent sniper on your team, because most likely they'll have jarate on hand. And it destroys sappers, too.

Oh man, imagine if a pyro with the NA teamed up with a Sydney Sleeper sniper. That would be so great.

I do enjoy my sleeper.

Let me tell you, few sights bring joy to my eye like looking at the killfeed after getting backstabbed as an Engineer, seeing my buildings get sapped, then blam, the backstabber has burned to death and some angel of heaven in the shape of a maniac in a onesie has removed the sappers.
