Glad you're ok, but tell you're insurance agent anyway that you're experiencing some neck stiffness. You will be in a few hours, trust me. If you tell them now, it doesn't seem like you're making it up tomorrow when you can't move your head. That's the way it was, at least, with my insurance company. But then again, State Farm were complete buttheads when it came to my accident a few months ago. Make sure you're relentless in pursuing your cause cause the insurance company (no matter what their heart-wrenching commercials might say) don't give a damn about you.

And make sure you get a good good-bye with your car. Losing a car is hard, it because an extension of you. I miss my Celica...

http://etf2l.org/about/demo/ Demos from ETF2L, both HL and 6s

http://www.vanillatf2.org/demos/ Not updated very frequently, but good for practice.

Also, if you're interested in UGC Highlander, consider applying to UGCLive as a caster. http://live.ugcleague.com/casterapp.php There you can get access to the STV demos teams upload after matches.

Also, here's a list of tips I got from Duder, eXtine, and Sal when I first started (it'd kinda poorly organized at the moment, but the ideas are there). https://www.dropbox.com/s/b74z1sbuksyaumd/caster%20tips.doc It can be overwhelming so I recommend focusing on improving one thing per cast (like one cast, focus just on camerawork, another cast focus on no awkward pauses, etc). Remember your first 20 casts are going to be terrible. Practice doesn't make perfect, because there's no such thing as a perfect TF2 cast, but practice will make you much more enjoyable to watch! Good luck and remember to have fun! (and make sure your mic isn't muted)

I keep it mostly to TF2 happenings (when I'm streaming, big casts, TF2 news, tournaments etc) and cats.

Oh Sal, my brother/boyfriend (according to fan rumors)...you have been missed and will continue to be so, but your influence will remain strong. You're the only reason I started casting, and while I've surpassed you in fame and talent (lol, jk), I still think you're one of the greatest. Without fail you have brought thousands of new players and talent and energy in to competitive TF2, and I only regret the esport cannot support you to make it a full time thing. Alas, real life must come first eventually.

Favorite Sal quote: "If you're still watching this, just go eat an entire cake."

I regret spending 4 years in a relationship with a guy who would only let me watch him play video games, never let me play. I now look at my 2000 hours of TF2 with pride :)

This is still going on? Mkay, why not.

I got to cast with Star_ and Mahblah! I also got to live vicariously through Truktruk uncrating 130 crates and be thoroughly entertained by dave_ac's antics.
