I play a lot of TF2. Some might say I'm addicted. Some people are assholes. In any case, I'd say it's high time for my opinions on TF2 to be known. Also, somewhere in here, I'm gonna talk about girl gamers.

So, I decided to play some Xbox TF2 for the lulz. Man, that is some broke ass gameplay. I mean, jeez. I'm a shitty Spy, but I dominated an entire team. Does that mean that the Xbox gamers are inferior to the PC crowd? No. They just aren't used to people pulling tricks from the PC. Tricks like disguising as a teammate at spawn, cloaking, disguising as an enemy, and then backstabbing. I'm sure people do it on Live, but apparently not very often. Playing Pyro made me wanna rip my teeth out, though. No airblast means I'm super vulnerable to everything. That's not cool. I enjoyed playing Spy though. It made me feel pro.

PC TF2 is like crystal meth: It makes your teeth fall out. What? No, I'm lying. In any case, playing Pyro is stupidly fun. Getting reflect kills is so rewarding. It makes me glad I play on Dodgeball servers so often. Also, I have nothing but respect for Spies. Some people feel that the Spy is overpowered. I think they're wrong. The Spy requires actual planning and forethought. A lot of people seem to forget that the Spy isn't all invisibility and backstabs. Actually, no, that's exactly what the Spy is. The Spy is a homing missile, killing the deadliest players on your team. At least, that's what it is on paper. in practice, the Spy is a nuisance, killing a few players that aren't watching their backs. Heavies, Medics, and Snipers mostly.

Right...women in gaming. I've found more female players of TF2 than I'd have ever thought possible. I don't know if it's just that girls like Dodgeball servers, or what. Most female TF2ers are quite good. Most people would finish that sentence with "for girls." I'm not going to. I've seen females top the scoreboards despite half of my teammates telling her to get back to the kitchen and make sandvitches and whatnot.

I dunno what it is about the internet that makes people feel so free to be sexist, racist, or whatever. Maybe it's the perceived anonymity freeing them from normal social restraint, allowing them to unleash their darker sides while hiding safely in their homes. They feel a sense of power, perhaps, in their freedom. They're free from any form of punishment, sitting in front of their screens. It's all very sad, really. The only way these people feel empowered is by remotely, anonymously denigrating others. Strange people, strange lives.

Next time...I'll talk about something else. I have no idea what or when. Honestly, I just make these up as I go along. Obvious, right?
