I think I may have fixed my issues with random video stuttering - I switched my network card from the onboard one(some Realtek bullshit with the official drivers) to a PCI card and it works like a charm. Might have worked to use a different driver too.
EDIT: If the top leading scorers have such a discrepency where one leader can't crack the top 50% of the opposing team's scorers then someone should move, even though it's a remark that would only work in a fantasy world.
But from the score and points in general it seemed like steamroll.
Not trying to ignite any debates or insinuate much, but it's the type of stuff you can survey after winning and losing or stumbling upon these pictures. Most people have pictures where the other team is a bloody pulp compared to the other.
Am I the only person who is unable to become a Spectator? I figured maybe that option was deactivated in the PA servers, meaning you'd have to reconnect to allow for self-teamscrambling, and risk losing your spot in the server.

I've just redownloaded TF2 with Windows 7 but I'm experiencing the same problem on one of the PA servers, I haven't noticed which one, or all.
I'm pretty sure I am the only person who has considered Natasha a good weapon since it was originally fixed. Its ridiculously good. You know it prevents demos from charging pretty much entirely?

I used to think that you'd have to go out of your way to be outright bad at demoman. the concept is straight-forward enough. Even someone completely new to the class usually ranges from mediocre to "passable". I was proven wrong today.
another horror story: Played with the worst engineer ever, but I'm pretty sure he was trolling the team. Dustbowl stage 1 point 2. Built his sentry nest next to defensive spawn as a defensive engineer. like, right to the left of the spawn door out of line of sight of everything. Stage 2 point two he built his sentry facing another engineer's sentry at the point. right smack in front of it. I was just....confused by this whole thing

It kind of depends... if you're a defending Demoman on a Payload map and you're doing bad, something is definately wrong.

Was it me? I just don't "get" how to be a demoman.

Arc your shots a bit and lead your target. It takes a little practice but its not too hard all things considered. It also helps to go after slow moving targets like Heavys to get used to the arc you need to get to hit things.
There's probably better tips out there, but that is what helped me be kind of decent with the Demoman.

Man, I thought that I'd suck without a sticky launcher, but even then I managed to surpass my expectations.

Play the most overpowered class in the game using their incredibly stupidly overpowered secondary, the flare gun. Going to demo should be pretty straight forward after that.

Oh and M1 + M2 for the sticky.
I'm already a pretty decent Pyro, but I don't use the flare gun...because it sucks

I use the flare gun... because I like to be annoying.
When I was a little kid at my mom's boyfriend's house I found a flare gun amidst his toy collection (he owned a boat). I guess I assumed the flares were gigantic fun rounds (of fun) so I loaded it and fired and started a fire near a pile of garden chemicals!
So if there was a messy living room level in TF2, I would be so trained for that shit as a pyro.

Remember how everyone thought that the flaregun was going to solve 2fort's problem of 4 snipers on either rampart at any given time? Hahaha, ahhh good times. 2fort is a terrible map though.

Okay, here's a tip for everyone: Organize your inventory to help avoid accidentally smelting items you want to keep.
For example, I put all my unlockables that I want to keep on page 2, organized by class. Page 1 is all my junk that I don't mind smelting (Also organized by class, so I know instantly when I can smelt another scrap metal) and my metal/tokens.
I'm pretty sure I am the only person who has considered Natasha a good weapon since it was originally fixed. Its ridiculously good. You know it prevents demos from charging pretty much entirely?
Only if you play infantry servers, otherwise you're just going to get raped by the super ace pilots who don't feel like playing something like, a real fucking flying game.

Yeah pretty much. But then we capped this guy's airfield and they were super fucked. Bitch had no idea what to do beyond dolphin dive as we bled them out.

The newest Nerf Now has a pretty groan-worthy TF2 joke in it. Thought I'd mention that.
Also, apparently they stealth-buffed Natascha and it now makes you stop moving almost entirely when it hits you.
EDIT: I just tested Natascha. Yeah, it's ridiculous now- Scouts hit by it go from running at their normal speed to moving about as fast as a spun-up heavy. Everyone else is even slower.
it ran like ass. Wouldnt save my graphic settings, and I couldnt get online at all. I deleted it, makes me regret buying it, but at least it was on the steam sale so it was cheap

Right now it's slowing every class to a crawl.
I remember once when I was jumping to the pillar point only to be shot by the Natasha in mid air slowing me and making me fall to my death.
First thing in the morning: Change my steam name to "Slowbro" and play as a Natascha Heavy
"...only mights and maybes."
Pro sniper right here, headshotting spun up heavies.
