Forever pub scum.
Eidolon is having a great time.
I help golden coal live up to his name.
ZS reenacts the end of Carrie.
Corehealer is kind of scary looking.
Eidolon is a smug dick.
edit: I have no idea why that one picture is so much bigger than the others.
I don't know, will PMavers be more likely to notice it an upload it? :rotate:

But I don't consider it a serious project. I just get the urge to mess around in Hammer for a little bit and tinker with dumb ideas.
I have over 700 hours in and am still terrible. I just made peace with the fact that I am awful at FPS games and will always be.
My current stats:
I've been trying to get those classes on the bottom up lately which is part of why I do so much snipering now, it's something I haven't played a ton of comparatively.
Also, I'm apparently at 2800 hours played in TF2 and 1500 in the SDK making maps for TF2. Heh.

Also watching (shit, I think it was...) Walrus fail at sticky jumping over the first barrier on TSL with me. Then when we finally made it he threw me directly into a saw. I think I saved that replay...
I was a little drunky by then I think.

Scout was my least-played class until two things happened:
1- least-played class became chosen idling class
2- prophunt
I probably have less stock-gamemode play on scout than heavy, an interesting reflection on how much TF2 gets played for things other than actual intended gameplay.
Engineer is still my legitimate most-hours-invested, though I main soldier nowadays.

It is my shame, every time I see it.
It was an epic backstab.
I sometimes forget that I used to play sniper all the time, and what's more used to be really good at it. This is a good excuse to tell a story that no one wants to hear about a wanna-be sniper called GoldenCoal, and another sniper named Flippy_D.
This made GoldenCoal sad. He thought he could never compete with Flippy_D. One day GoldenCoal realized that since Flippy_D is such a good sniper, he always goes for headshots! If GoldenCoal could just duck at the right moment, the bullet would sail harmlessly above his head! To do that, however, he'd have to predict Flippy_D's movements. And so, GoldenCoal started meticulously studying Flippy_D. Every time he faced Flippy_D, he would look at Flippy_D's every move and try and determine why Flippy_D acted as he did.
It was then that GoldenCoal found out that Flippy_D was even better than he thought. Flippy_D would use every single advantage available to him. Once while in Badwater, GoldenCoal saw Flippy_D in an attic above the final point where there were two windows. Using his knowledge of Flippy_D, GoldenCoal was able to dodge the first bullet. Then, Flippy_D strafed towards the opposite window, momentarily leaving GoldenCoal's view. GoldenCoal was sure Flippy_D would appear on the opposite window, and aimed there. Instead, Flippy_D, using the very last second of the extra speed he got while reloading, popped back into view of the original window and shot GoldenCoal in the head before he could even register what happened. GoldenCoal was very impressed.
In fact, unlike many other snipers who would run to safety when attacked, Flippy_D would always stand his ground. While reloading, he would juke around unpredictably. At first GoldenCoal would run, too. But then he realized that Flippy_D would always be waiting for him to attack again and could shoot him in the head very easily. If he didn't, Flippy_D would kill many of GoldenCoal's teammates, which made them sad and angry at Flippy_D. So GoldenCoal realized that he needed to be like brave Flippy_D and not run away.
After a while, GoldenCoal has some of the most intense of fun encounters he'd ever had playing TF2. If he knew where Flippy_D was, he could often get into Flippy_D's view, dodge Flippy_D's initial attack, and then go through intense cycles of dodging and attempted headshotting. Both Flippy_D and GoldenCoal would try and get in each other's head and figure out where to aim their next shot. GoldenCoal would sometimes try to scope in right before Flippy_D, meaning that he would have a split second where Flippy was slow, but unable to shoot, while GoldenCoal could shoot! While it's hard to say if GoldenCoal won even 50% of those encounters, he would win enough to feel like he was good enough to go toe-to-toe with him on a regular basis.
That's when GoldenCoal realized something. He had become a sniper who, like Flippy_D, had become death incarnate. People would both curse and praise GoldenCoal's prowess. Enemies would turn and run rather than be within his gaze. Most importantly, he realized that he owed it all to Flippy_D. By killing him without mercy so many times, he had taught GoldenCoal how to be a sniper who was not afraid of any sniper, not M4v1s, not Kinderparty, not even Flippy_D. Especially not Flippy_D. Flippy_D was not his enemy, Flippy_D was his teacher.
Then, GoldenCoal had lots of fun shooting heads and being awesome until Sniper vs Spy happened, and a bunch of other stuff (like Heavies being more accurate) happened that made it not fun being a rifle sniper anymore. In addition, GoldenCoal had to practice every day to keep his twitch skills in shape but since he stopped playing TF2 everyday he stopped being a good sniper.
GoldenCoal still plays sniper on occasion, but pretty much sucks at it now. He did get to kill Flippy_D in a battle of wits on Monday, so that was nostalgic.
tl;dr I got good at sniper by studying Flippy_D, had lots of fun trading headshots, currently suck at sniper because reasons.
feels real good
I think in VSH a backstab will take off 10% of his health. If you have a full server that can be quite a bit.
I have a good 1500 hours in the game, but it's spread over so much time and i switch classes so often that urgh I am the worst at this game
managing to get down leading a scout into a headshot is satisfying as FUCK
I spychecked a pyro from across hightower and it was a spy and he got SO MAD
It's the only hazard that is both randomly timed and in an area you HAVE to be in to complete the objective.
The big question is, is it fun to be killed by it?
I feel like it adds a level of stress to the center area that enhances the map, but i can also see how it gets frustrating.
but I also find most of trainsawlaser very frustrating
