Benchsire's gotta get some calories into his system, those extra reps take some energy.

Tf2 friends can come from anywhere really, the most important thing is just talking to people. I made most of my tf2 friends by watching streams and being active in chat, talking to both the streamer and other people.

Highlander is a lot of fun, but for inherent reasons is less competitive, such as having too many players for LANs and prizes, and less of a focus on individual skill and more on teamwork ability. And because it's less competitive, sixes players tend to like it less.

Deathpits are the reason Upward is the best HL map
(Watch out for the incoming - Frag brigade)

This sounds like a great idea, I would definitely play in this. Could be lots of fun, especially because of the chance to play with players outside of your own division. I pocketed a drunk Hildreth once, and it was the funniest pug I've ever played, and I learned a little bit. I could see this system facilitating that, as well as giving some teams a chance to practice seriously.

Great article, enjoyed the read. I was disappointed in the appraisal of Frank West, whom I consider to be easily one of the top five spies and one of the top ten smartest players, he'll pick up his gameplay during the season. Also I'm hoping to see a top tier Djc frag video with sick reflects and crazy pyro plays ;)

I think people have overlooked the most important aspect of this roster shakeup: with rr confirmed playing for HRG, Mad Men probably won't reform and we'll loose blank to Dota :/

Watched part of the live stream, it was well put together and informational

I can help with both writing and the AP US stuff, I didn't take the class but I got a four on the test.

I like it, that scout double kill was amusing.

Haha, damn, and here I though I was onto something

Watching Foster's stream the other night gave me an idea for a scoreboard. I like that his scoreboard only lists player names and pings, but in addition is it possible to have a large set of two numbers underneath, the left side listing how many people are alive on your team, and the right side listing how many people are alive on the enemy team?

Mine's been kind of wonky too lately, with seemingly random fps drops to about thirty or forty for about ten seconds, then back to normal.

Even if it were mini crits taken, it would be overpowered. Scouts strength is in movement, and making a scout faster makes him harder to hit. Have you ever seen a twenty health scout get a two or three kill because nothing can hit him? Imagine that scout, but harder to hit and doing extra damage.

The issues isn't mids, it's the 130 damage meatshots. Scouts like Clockwork or Ruwin are crazy enough, now give them the ability to two hit soldiers instead of three? And make them faster and therefore able to dodge better? A scout effectively dies to two rockets before or after the damage vulnerability, adding crit a cola would make soldiers weaker.
