I'm getting nicknames already...
VALVEEEEE. <3
Newest TF2 update: "Added back some damage falloff to the Pyro's flamethrower. Not nearly as extreme as it was before the Pyro class pack." FUCK YEAH AWESOME. And so ends the reign of terror.
Well, no, but you get the idea.
And according to the official blog the Heavy seems to be getting the next unlockables (I already heard rumours about it a few days ago). Well, at least it will probably mean a field day for me as a Medic. What I'm really waiting for are the Soldier updates, and, uh, Demoman too. And I think Engineer seriously needs something to help him, playing as one is really starting to feel like a job, ie. it's not particularly fun anymore. But maybe it's just me, the stats are telling that Engineer is the second most played class right now.
Nothing else to say, really. Been playing a lot of Demo (and Medic because I find it extremely difficult not to go Medic whenever there are none in my team), unsurprisingly.
And last night I was dubbed "The Guy Who Never Misses" by a server regular who was apparently unlucky enough to always get a pipe bomb exploding at his face. And then I dominated him.
Thankfully he didn't know I had played Demo for only about five hours. It probably wouldn't have made him feel any better about it.
And I kinda like being a guy on default. Not that anyone has any reason to think otherwise since I still don't use my mic. I should, though. Because being able to communicate would be pretty useful. And I figure some regulars would be surprised to find out that The Guy Who Never Misses is in fact a girl. GASP. Not that I like to go around flaunting my gender, but if I open my mouth it kinda does become glaringly obvious. That, or everyone thinks that I'm twelve.
And oh, now I want to rant!
I hate the so-called "Girl Gamers," those who do flaunt their gender, basically scream "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I PLAY HALO I AM SPESHUL!" and make it such a gigantic deal that they are GIRLS who play GAMES. Like they think that they're really special because of it. Wtf gender has nothing to do with it! I hate stereotypical gender roles anyway, and I think it's kinda funny that while those girl gamers try to fight against the assumption that girls don't play games, yet they actually promote such gender roles by assuming that they exist in the first place (I believe any male gamer with half a brain realises that girls too play games. "Guy games," even, like horribly violent first person shooters). Damn, even industry's slowly realising that girls play games as well (although I hold infinite amounts of RAGE against all the games that are geared towards girls. Nintendo, I am looking at you. They are nothing but insulting, and that's about the only thing I admit having in common with girl gamers. That, and boobs). Can I just be one of the guys and play the goddamn game without making a big deal out of it? Well, apparently I can.
I hate "girl gamers" just as much as I hate all the guys who think that girls don't and can't play videogames. And if they do, they're casual players who play stuff like Sims and maybe WoW. Or JRPGs like Final Fantasies. FPS is out of question. Girls don't play FPS! No way!
I am not that good at TF2, for example, but I don't think that has anything to do with my gender. Come on, people.
Yeah, I'm a girl, I play games (and I have played videogames for nearly two damn decades, so I figure the whole gaming culture is pretty much ingrained in me by now), but I am not a "girl gamer." I am not a casual gamer either. Even if my Nintendo DS is girly and pink and I play Final Fantasies.
But yeah, I know lots of girls who play TF2, and there are several regular players who are girls on the servers I play on, and I've never seen anyone fly off the handle when they hear a girl voice over the voicechat, so. I only need to get over my irrational fear of sounding like an idiot and starting to stutter when I use the mic.
/end rant.
And maybe I really am not that bad a Demoman, because our team usually lost immediately after I was killed and my stickies disappeared into thin air. Haha. Come on guys, why am I the only one defending, dammit?!
And I'm getting really angry at Medics who über Heavies or Soldiers on Dustbowl's last point to take down sentries. Okay, I understand if there are no Demomen around but FUCK YOU I AM STANDING RIGHT THERE. Then I go and take them down without a goddamn über (usually dying in the process, but sacrifices must be made). Yeah sure I'm not the best Demoman around, but dammit even I can take down a sentry so much better than any Heavy (if we're talking about distant sentries here, sure Heavies take down anything if they get close enough). And please Medic if you do über me, go first. Demomen are not Heavies, we can't push against the stupid sentry fire by ourselves and the closer I get the easier the sentry is to take down. It's just like übering a Pyro and trying to take down a sentry. You need to draw the fire to yourself.
And yeah, if there's another Demo, über him, not me. Haha. I can take down anything when I'm not under obligation of doing so (I like the slow and sneaky approach, even if I do take damage because of it), but I'm probably just going to fail because the pressure to actually succeed and not let my team and the Medic down is too much. I don't like being the one the whole team suddenly depends on. Maybe that makes me a bad team player?
Also got autobalanced in the middle of a match in Well, when my team was steamrolling. So I got switched to the losing team, AGAIN, but thanks to ME we fought the enemy team over the last point for almost five minutes. I had a Kritzkrieg-Medic backing me up, and while I disagreed with his decision to use the Kritzkrieg, I couldn't help but be pretty damn "OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK" when he used the charge on me in the middle of an enemy attack. JESUS CHRIST THE CARNAGE. Crit stickies! Everywhere! I probably killed half of their team with that. And they probably didn't even realise there was kritzkrieging going on before it was too late, because... well, I haven't actually seen a lot of Kritzkrieged Demomen around.
Anyway, we were fighting them off pretty well and then I suicided, completely misreading the entire situation (there were two enemies on the sticky-covered cap with me and I thought that was all, so I detonated, suiciding but killing the enemies. And unfortunately it was a grand mistake, there was another wave of enemies just coming), and we lost within a few seconds from that. Oh well.
Oh yeah, I bonesawed another sentry last night. And I killed the Engineer too. No, I wasn't übered. Well, I was, but it was my own über. I had to panic-launch my charge, and the Soldier I was übering was completely oblivious to everything around him and overlooked a sentry going up behind him. So I just ditched his ass, ran to the sentry in the protection of my charge, whipped out the Übersaw and killed the sentry. And the Engineer who desperately tried to escape. And then I went back to the poor oblivious Soldier with a half-full charge. Oh, Übersaw, how I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Yeah, I should use the mic.

Yes, you should use the mic! At least I've never seen people act any differently around girl players, nor have they stood out in any way. What has traumatized you like that. D:
I don't dare to use my mic because I'm afraid it'd sound like shit to all the other players. 8| I did buy a whole lot better one recently but I don't know if the huge ping affects the sound quality as well? Blargh.
Plus I panic easily so chances are my mic-usage would only end up with me shouting "AMSHRBNAN SPY BEHING YOU MMEDIUC SPSYPSPY DDDDDDDDDDDDD888" and making a fool of myself.
Actually I think I've done that already. BUT HWIAJSDBENB SPY.
No, see, I'm just naturally shy and I don't like talking to strangers. Actually, I don't even like talking to friends over the phone, which is pretty much the same as talking over voicechat. Just replace "friends" with "people you play with," and you'll probably understand.
And yeah, shy -> nervous -> stuttering. And dammit I speak near-perfect English (with a pseudo British accent even!), but I get so nervous that I forget all rules of pronounciation and begin to sound like a certain Finnish F1 driver. D:
I've been told I have a pseudo British accent as well. :D *high five*
Kata Räikkönen.
Mikset muuten tykkää 2Fortista yhtään? Tuskin on vaan sitä, että oot kyllästyny.
Mulle siitä riittää vielä hupia ku oon vasta äskettäin oppinu kulkemaan siellä.
Mun disconnectaus-map on kyllä Badlands. Ei piru ku se on rasittava. En saa siitä mitään tolkkua enkä oo kertaakaan pelannu sillä lähellekään tasasta matsia.
Oho, taas näitä kielikriisikommentteja.
I second that, you need to use the mic. ALL medics need to use the mic! If you're playing demo right now then it might not be _as_ important, but I promise you that if one team is using voice and one isn't, the first team wins.
I assumed you were talking about the HK servers (newbies only) when you said there are quite a few female players, and that's very true. If Loki, who is both female and Scottish, can use her mic then anyone can.
Oh and also, yah, Ubersaw ftw. I just got it yesterday myself, during a clan practice match (I finally got Doctor Assisted Homicide). After a few minutes practice I had no more trouble killing with it than the regular bonesaw, and launching two ubers in less than a minute is hilarious.
Dominare: Yeah, I know I should use the mic. My team often does pretty well when I'm a Medic, even if I don't communicate, but I admit that if I did use the mic, everything would probably go even better.
I only need to get over the fear of using it and sounding like a nervous idiot. :/ Maybe someday.
And congrats on getting the Übersaw!
Mii: 2fort on vaan niin tylsä. En ees muista milloin oisin oikeesti pelannut siellä hyvän, jännän pelin. Normi puolen tunnin erä menee niin puuduttavaksi ettei pysty. Ja sit kun se on melkein aina sitä et puolet tiimistä kämppää omassa basessa puolustamassa ja puolet yrittää puskee kohti inteliä ja sit siellä on niin kovat puolustukset ettei koskaan pääse läpi. Jotenkin kaikki tiimityö on aina täysin hukassa 2fortissa (paitsi Engineerien kesken ehkä, mut sit taas turtlaus onkin aivan oma ongelmansa...) ja kaikki tekee vain sitä omaa juttuaan. 2fort oli ihan jees pari viikkoa, siitä lähtien se on ollut valtava DO NOT FUCKING WANT.
Okei, nyt mä kysyn paria asiaa (koska mun miljoona huutoboksispämmiä ja muuta kommenttia ei vielä riitä parin päivän saldoks):
1) MISTÄ se Caramelldansen feat. Spy & Engie -ikoni on? Kahlasin sen takia vaikka kuinka monta Caramelldansen-videota läpi ja se soi sit mun päässä kokonaisen työpäivän verran. Oon selkeesti oikeutettu vastauksiin. :D
2) Tapaatko postailla TF2-fanartia muuallekin ku niihin paikkoihin, mitkä on munkin tiedossa? Ku.. haluun nähä. *grabby hands* Ei sillä et mut ois ihan pakko päästää jokaiseen soppeen, mutku.. mutku!
3) ... mitä on turtlaus? Hahaha.
Ja nyt kun vähän mietin asiaa, niin kuulostaa suht järkevältä toi 2Fort-aggressio. Mut ehkä se on osasyy miks tykkään siitä, ihan kivaa pelata välillä vähän kenttää, missä tuntuu et siinä pelaa suhteellisen yksin.
Ihan noin vaihtelun ja harjottelun vuoksi. Mut enköhän mäkin kohta saa siitä tarpeekseni. Täyspitkä erä alkaa jo kyllästyttää, ku liian usein meen että "D: mitä, eiks yks tai kaks intelin nappausta riitä, päästäkää meidät jo pois".
Mut Dustbowlin vikat minuutit peittoaa kyllä kaikki mapit ihan satanolla. Ei hitto, ne on melkein aina olleet mun pelatessa sellasta mieletöntä jännäämistä, että hitto, pääseekö vihollinen läpi, saadaanko puolustettua, lähteekö sentryt alas, millon tulee über nurkan takaa. :D Ja respawnattuaan kaikki ryntää karjuen taistelukentälle ja usein psyykkaa toisiaan et OKAY, WE CAN DO THIS.
Huippua.
BLAH BLAH NYT SIT ITELLES.
Siinä.
Toi kyllä näyttää ihan hävyttömän huonolta, haha.
... eikä vaan siks että sulla on jopa puolet energioista jäljellä vaikka vastassa oli sentry ja meikäläinen.
Johtuukohan osittain siitä, että pelasin ikkunassa. Siis ei se, etten saanu sua hengiltä.
Vaikka voidaanhan me teeskennellä että sekin! Saamarin ikkunat.
Ahihi, kiitos, paras deathcam, oon niin hyvän näköinen! Ja määrätietoisen!
Parasta on se, et satuin sit itse nappaamaan screencapin just samalla hetkellä. :D Mun näkökulma!
Oli mulla muutes Medic tossa boostaamassa alkuun, etten ihan ilman apuja hypähdellyt kulman takaa viskaamaan stickyjä (se paransi mut sit aina täysille et uskalsi kurkata uudelleen), mut tiedä häntä mitä kyseiselle Medicille sit tapahtui noihin screencapeihin mennessä.
ÜBER WOULD BE NICE, THOUGH.
Mut eiköhän se rupee olla pikkuhiljaa selvä et mitä mä sillä. :/
Ja tota umm, tein sen Caramelldansen-ikonin itse. :< Ja mulla on siitä myös no lolol -versio, mut hitto et toikin pyörii niin puuduttavan hitaasti.
Mut älä kerro kenellekään, mulla menee maine. :D
Oot kyl varmaan nähnyt kaiken TF2-fanartin mitä oon piirtänyt, koska postaan kaiken kyl Livejournaliin.
Ja turtlauksesta saa mun puolesta vastata TF2Wiki koska ne osaa varmasti selittää sen paremmin kuin minä.
Ja Dustbowlin vika pointti on aina <3, varsinkin silloin kun siitä syntyy kokonaisen kahdenkymmenen minuutin ajaksi ihan hirveetä jyystämistä. Sit kun voittaa viimeisillä sekunneilla... aijai, parasta maailmassa. Tai vaihtoehtoisesti puolustaa onnistuneesti ja viime tingassa sitä vihollisten vikaa puskua vastaan... aijai. Mut Dustbowl onkin paras kartta mun mielestä. Pelaan siellä ihan hulluna, mut en vaan kyllästy!
HAHA EI VITSI OLITKO. Me Joikun kanssa ihasteltiin sitä jossain vaiheessa, ja se heitti, että onkohan Kata tehnyt ton itse. Mut olin heti että eeeei kun en oo nähny sen hehkuttavan sitä missään.
Mä ainakin hehkuttaisin, jos tekisin tuollaisen! Haha, ihan loistava. JA HIENO. Toi Engien johtoheilu, aws.
Ei saatana, nyt mä nään ne tollasena miniminiversiona tabin pikkukuvassa. Kuolen.
Ja tiiätkö, mietin jossain vaiheessa et "muuten paras vähään aikaan, mut eiks Spy oo väärän värinen. :c" PROBLEM SOLVED. Ei saakeli.
Oho, pikkasenko täystuho tuossa sun screenissä. Mua nauratti jo mun ottama, ku punasta lihaa ja ruumiita kaikkialla, Kata rynnii eteenpäin ja capin vieressä vaan hilluu pari sinistä sillai :o.
Yhyy, turtlaus. Pelasin kerran orange_x:llä erän, jossa puolet tiimistä oli Engineerejä siellä keskimmäisellä capilla sentryjen ja dispenserien kans ja toinen puoli Pyroja, jotka pyöri samassa paikassa tekemässä Spy checkejä. Sit yritin yksin vetää Solttua että tota, you guys, ihan kiva että pointti on turvattu ja sillai mut.. niitä on lisää?
Haha, toi TF2wikin kuva. Nice.
