Cock Teasing Bit-

I just recently bought Team Fortress 2, and by just recently, I mean on Wednesday. The brief experiences thanks to the previous two Free Play weekends (thanks Valve!) had provided me with the info that I could at least run the games at an acceptable framerate. I stress the word acceptable, because at times the game would slow down to a crawl, even a halt, but those where few and far between, and only on Custom Servers with mods and shit.

Overall, my experience with TF2 had been a good one, although I had a lot of ground to cover on my PC FPS skills, as the Mouse/Keyboard setup infuriates me, and the only gamepad I'd like to use is the 360 controller. It seemed I couldn't pop off a single kill without being shot up by 3 different people at the same time. Maybe I was approaching this wrong, I was playing a Soldier, and I was just hooking up with other Soldiers and going out to capture control points, and I always ended up dieing. Maybe it was time for a new approach.



I suicide and loaded up the Medic, found a Heavy, and stayed alive for the rest of the game.

Of course, dew to slowdown on both me and the Medic's part, we really couldn't do much but blast a stray Demoman or Soldier every know and then and heal a stray Sniper or Spy who needed it. Not that much fun, but hey, I lived.


I'd Love That

Next Free Weekend, I decided to try the Spy.
No Mas.

I pulled out the Demoman instead.
Shit was hilarious. I wasn't killing motherfuckers, but I sure as hell was scaring the crap out of people with some well placed grenades. I had players running for the hills, they where confused and dazed and angry. It got to a point where someone put on a mic and said "WHO THE FUCK KEEPS DROPPING RANDOM NADES?".

He then got sniped(not by me). Best match ever.

But what was the real story behind this, was the fact that the well placed "random nades" where not on purpose, but on accident. My pervious acceptable framerate had dropped about 5 points, and to ad insult to injury, my mouse sucked donkey balls. Total accident, but none the less, the best accident ever. Cthulhu never did me so much good. I'm ready to serve, Old One. I am ready.



Now a few months, about 200 bucks in Magic: The Gathering cards, a PS3, Burnout Paradise, losing my PS3, and other random shit later, I bought Team Fortress 2 for $19.99. Hear I am, thinking I'm going to finally test out what I can do with the classes I haven't played with yet, mainly the Heavy and the Engineer.

Nope, servers are down for maintenance.

So, the next day right? I'm totally gunna call a spy on a bluff, right?

Well, not exactly, the game barely runs at times, crashes (few and far between), freezes randomly, and just plain won't load at times.

All because I'm 1ghz below the minium requirements. 1 freaking gigahertz.



Anyways, what I have been able to play out of it is quite rewarding, I haven't gotten any achievements, but I almost killed someone.

Almost.

Anyways, here's to me and becoming a PC conformist. I bought TF2. I will not regret it once I get a new CPU.


And a 360 Controller with that USB Wireless Link deal.
