So I herd you liek updates...

No, I haven't yet played Goldrush or tried to get any new achievements, I haven't even touched TF2 ever since it updated.

Why?

Because the goddamned Valve Land is in GMT-8, and I'm GMT+2. The update came at four in the morning, and I was too tired to play. It was vexing to restart Steam, watch TF2 update, take a look at the list of all the new achievements and then watch bitterly as my friends' names turned green one by one. And I was so tired it hurt.
And I only woke up just a while ago.

But today. Oh boy. I'm finding some Goldrush 24/7 server and playing there for a few hours. Will probably check out my regular servers too at some point. And I will be playing Soldier, and cackling evilly if I can get a ridiculous Medic harem to follow me around.
Yeah, I hear it's MEDICS! EVERYWHERE! so I guess I'll do just what I thought I would and play Soldier and Pyro and Engineer (and Spy fuck yes, now it won't be suspicious at all for a Medic to run around with the syringe gun out. Even a crappy Spy like me could do pretty well with all the Medics around. Especially since most of them are definitely Medicing noobs) for a week or so, and then get back to playing Medic and getting the Blutsauger.
Oh damn, I just realised... Spies are actually going to have even more of a hard time after Medics start getting the unlockables. I suppose Spies will always be holding the regular syringe gun when disguised. Damn. Poor Spies. I would totally feel for them, if I played more as a Spy and didn't think they are a horrible pain in the ass.

And I'm also trying to rope my non-playing friends to join me next weekend, because this is kinda awesome. Lots of noobs around! Hehehe. But yeah, I'm hoping I could get more of my friends to join the game. All you need to do is get Steam!
And I'll have to tell my little brother too, I'd really like to play with him. He'd own me completely (he's been playing Action Quake for ten years or so, and he's pretty fucking good at it), but damn I'd be SO PROUD if I killed him, even once.

EDIT: Oh goddamn, there's a command to unlock all the achievements just by typing it into console. I think it's sad people would actually go down that road with the achievements. I know some of them can be tedious and require some grinding to get, but still.
Just like farming achievements. There are already people running around with Übersaws.

So conflicting!

I want the update, and yet I don't, because I'm already sleep-deprived. Please don't come until Friday night (and I'm quite sure it won't come before that. If it comes at all, dammit Valve...). After that I can handle allnighters.
And apparently I have no self-restraint, since I know I have to get up at 7:30 am and yet I still find myself hanging about on the server at 2:00 am. No wonder I'm tired. Damn you Team Fortress 2 for being so much fun to play!

But few nights ago I got I broke my highest score as a Medic. Gravel Pit is starting to be my Medic wonderland, I love being a Medic in the defending team on Gravel Pit.
And yeah I could give ten or so übers with all the healing I do, but like I said, I don't like wasting them. And my new record (18) would've been a point or two higher, but goddamn I got ambushed by an enemy Pyro from behind and died the very second I tried to hit my über (I could blame lag, I'm still playing with a ping of 150 or so). Would've been fourth. And this happened like 30 seconds before the round ended. Was extremely annoyed. I was still an MVP and broke my old record, so that wasn't bad at all.

And I also had some insane combat Medic situations that night. Defended a point on Well by myself against a Demo and a Scout. How the hell do I end up in these situations? (Well, I come out of respawn and go to find someone to heal, and I find no one but enemies, that's how it usually goes). Later on in Granary I was doing the exact same thing, but I was kinda going combat Medic there anyhow. We had a team consisting only of Scouts, Snipers and Spies (and one Pyro, who was extremely suicidal, and I don't like following suicidal Pyros because I get killed so easily), so after trying to heal them for a moment (fucking Scouts, stay still if you want me to heal you! And I don't heal Spies unless they yell for Medic, because I don't want to compromise their disguise by accident) I decided to just fuck it and go combat Medic. Nice to start racking up the kills with Medic, though. I think I killed 10 people yesterday when I was Medic, and that's pretty good. For me.
And I was surprised that we actually won a round with that crazyass team. Four Scouts, three Spies, two Snipers, a suicidal Pyro and a terrible combat Medic. Uhhh, right.
After that round I got a Demoman buddy to follow around. I very rarely stick to Demomen (unless when we're trying to decimate some sentry farms), because they're pretty much screwed when enemies get close to them (and I hate Pyros so fucking much I need a buddy who can take them down before they can get to me, heh), but this time I really didn't have a choice (a Demo or a Scout, hmm...), and he was a pretty kickass Demoman. We took down many defenses together, I liked him.
Just for the record, if you want me to stick to you when I'm Medic, go Heavy. Heavies are my favourites by far. After that I either go for Soldiers or Pyros, usually depending on the situation. I would über a Pyro (or a Demo) for sentry takedowns rather than a Soldier or a Heavy, but I would much rather follow a Soldier around, because they're not nearly as suicidal as Pyros tend to be. And if it's Slaverstrike that I'm healing, I'm quite likely to stick to him exclusively, so you can just piss off if you don't need healing. Because damn we make such a goddamn good team (on top of the scoreboard on Gravel Pit a few nights ago, again).
But whoever it is that I'm exclusively healing, I'll ditch their ass for a fellow Medic in need. Generally I abandon my main healing targets for anyone dying right next to me, unless things are insanely hectic, which is when I take measures and heal those who I think will be the most useful in the situation. Sorry, but I'm thinking about TEAM, not your score. Of course I TRY to heal everyone, but sometimes I can't do that without people dying anyhow.

I'm having too much fun with labels.
