Well now.
Gosh, 3D modeling is one of those things I can't do for a very long time without having a breather. I'm working on a school project, I'm slowly losing my mind with wonky vertices and accidental tris (Mudbox hates tris, so I should try to get rid of them before importing my model from Max) and I'm trying to escape (or rather postpone) the necessity of working on them by blogging. Sweet, sweet procrastination... so, I need to come up with something to write about.
And I think I have just the thing...
As some of you know, I draw quite a lot. And I've drawn quite a lot of Team Fortress 2 fanart as well. You might've even seen some of my work. At least in the form of my Steam avatar ans the quickest little Engineer oekaki that I posted a few months ago.
So there, have some fanart. I think Demo's the only class I've actually never drawn before this, since most of the time I just draw Engineers and Medics and Spies, mostly because they're the easiest classes to draw.
I might post some new work here every now and then, to deviate a bit from all the babbling.
I haven't really been playing much of TF2 lately. Last time I played was Saturday night, in the early morning hours, and I was drunk off my ass after an intensive evening full of drinking, rocking and multitasking in Rock Band (it's quite fun to do two things if you know the song: Weezer's Say it Ain't So was pretty easy, even when I was singing AND playing the bass at the same time). It would seem that I'm starting to abuse the hell out of fake clan tags, after changing my name to [RAGE]Chrome after raging at something during a Ravine match. I can't even remember what was it that ticked me off, ahaha.
But RAGE is gotta be the best faux clan name ever. I might even start wearing it, except then people would assume that I am in some kind of cool-sounding clan.
And Caramelldansen is indeed the best background music for intensive Arena matches.
Also, you need to beware: me and Slaver "cheat" hardcore in Arena matches. Whenever I have to sit out or when I die before Slaver, I just spectate him, and keep an eye on his back, telling him if there's something behind him. And vice versa. Don't be trying any backstabbing shenanigans against either of us, haha.
Neighbours probably hate us already because we play in the middle of the night, and the yelling gets quite bad sometimes (I once woke up a friend who lives just below us, and she came to tell me to STFU on our IRC channel. Too bad I can't check IRC when I have TF2 open, so I never noticed. Whoops). I talk a lot when I play, even when I'm alone, but knowing that there's someone in the next room who can hear me cursing at other players and relate, there's nothing stopping me from actually doing it to my heart's content.
And it's bleeding fantastic to relay all kinds of information to each other. The Spy's a Pyro near our spawn? I'm on it. Someone's trying to sneak up on us from behind? Consider it done. Sentry to the left? Gotta remember that. I have an übercharge, get your ass in here so we can take those sentries down! Right-o!
It's making me want to play over LAN in the same room with a small group of friends. Guys on our class have showed some interest to play TF2, so we might have to see if we can organise a LAN party in our school during the next free weekend. It would be awesome.
...actually, that's a fucking great idea.
And why is Warpath such a terrible, terrible map? I've only heard good things about it (although now that I think about it, I might've missed the sarcasm...), so I was kinda excited about getting to play on it.
And then it sucked. It was ugly, the map is maybe a bit too large for a pretty regular CP map, and the second points are practically free. I mean, yeah, the middle point seems to cause some epic battling, but once it's capped, the second point would seem to get capped without a doubt, and after that it's just a fucking grind over the last point.
I'm never gonna go back there again.
And I'm three hours shy from 100 hours as Soldier. Goddammit, when did this happen. I think I'll just play Medic for the next twenty hours, it's okay to hit 100 hours as Medic. As Soldier it's just... no.
(Also, I have no life.)
Anyway, I think I better get back to modeling now.
And I surely hope that I'm not the only person who sees everything as polygons after spending a few hours in Max. Vertices, everywhere.
Real life has a fucking ridiculous polycount.
(Takes forever to render it.)
