#12 Spy vs Engineer War in TF2 General Discussion

I always get scared when I see new engineer weapons coming. Even the best developers would struggle balancing new items for a class that revolves around creating a second source of fire with autoaim, and I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Valve in that regard. Plus all the pubs will be 6 engies and 6 spies per team, which is fun for no one.

#19 Stream Content in TF2 General Discussion

Demo reviews and match analysis/commentary, especially if you can incorporate questions from the audience into the stream. My suspicion is that a lot of TF2 players would rather MGE or pub themselves than watch someone else do it. Demo reviews, on the other hand, allow you to offer something they can't make on their own, your experience and expertise.

#46 surveillance camera man shutdown in Off Topic

Back in college I went to a discussion forum hosted by a campus group devoted to a pretty controversial topic. Some protesters came and started videotaping and photographing random people in the audience. They mistakenly believed I was the son of someone important, and so when I made efforts to avoid the cameras they kept them trained on me the entire time. I wasn't embarrassed by being at the event, but I had no idea what they were going to use the footage for and so I wanted no part in that. After holding a notebook between me and the cameras for about half an hour, they were finally chased out by security.

Later they ended up uploading the footage to a "hit list" on a website devoted to that sort of thing. Fortunately for me, the image wasn't the greatest and they got all my personal information wrong (like I said, I think they confused me with someone else), but it is pretty fucking frightening. On the plus side, the photo was taken down a year or so after and website itself is no longer available.

So yeah, I can definitely understand why people would get angry if they're being filmed, especially if they're somewhere private.

#3 ︻╦╤──Looking for a team in Recruitment (looking for team)

This is a forum primarily focused around 6s, which doesn't really run fulltime sniper or spy. You also seem to be a little newer, so I'd suggest joining a highlander team or, if you want to play soldier, find a low level UGC or ETF2L 6s team. If you want HL, you'd have more success here, here, or here.

There's already an oddly moving tribute video for him here:

#17 Hardcore - The World's First Action P.O.V. Film in Off Topic

This looks like watching an LP of a STALKER game with less exciting gunplay and none of the reasons why STALKER is so good.

#82 No more camwhores on twitch in Off Topic
smoboi feel like her exploiting her cleavage and acting like an idiot ~ironically~ for viewers and donations is just as bad, but that's just me

I know if I had massive breasts I'd probably exploit that too. I have a hard time blaming the streamers for making money off it, yeah, they're obnoxious, but the real problem for me are the morons who watch and give money just because they see a girl (with big boobs) playing videogames.

#8 Cafe where you can hang out with cats opens up in Off Topic
kevalso i can't imagine the cat cafe staying in business for a while
still pretty wild that this is in the states though

I know there's a cafe in the neighborhood that does occasional events where they bring in cats from the local pound. It's pretty popular and they've been in business for a while, so I'm not surprised to see someone expand on that model.

#29 Top 10 TF2 plays - August 2014 in Videos
AlmieDiv5 player airshotting a div5 player is just as difficult FOR HIM as a prem player airshotting a prem player is difficult FOR THE PREM PLAYER.

Div5 players don't airstrafe, getting airshots on players with predictable movement is a hell of a lot easier than on higher level players.

#11 Top 10 TF2 plays - August 2014 in Videos
dashnershould have used the live footage of Harb from the cast after the ubersaw.

glad you ended up being proactive and using i52 clips though.

Really impressed with this video, but would have liked to have seen Harbleu's "I don't come to Europe to lose" included in the last clip, seems like it would have capped off a great vid.

#24 Good Shows/Movies in Off Topic
BonafideI recently saw Boyhood and must say I really enjoyed it, would recommend.

Boyhood was excellent. Linklater also directed a trilogy, with Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight. I highly recommend those as well to anyone who enjoyed Boyhood.

#4 Payday: The Heist Free on Steam Tomorrow (10/16) in Other Games
rage1Would be cool if this was Payday 2 instead. I'd have more people to play with.

Payday 2 is on sale for $7.50, all of the DLCs are on sale for pretty cheap as well.

MarxistGrand Marnier is a Cognac (technically a whiskey) infused with (what are basically) tangerines. Typo in the first post :( lol

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Grand_Marnier_Bottle.jpg

I can appreciate other types of whiskey, I drank a lot of bourbon in college to make short of it, but if I'm gonna splurge on a fancier whiskey, we're going straight to Grand Marnier. It tastes like an orange popsicle - the kind you buy in the plastic baggy things.

One of my best friends is a real gin connoisseur so I picked up a lot of that from him, I'll have him track down some rusty blade for experimentation. Higher end gin tastes fine on its own - low end gin... well you may as well just drink a bottle of Christmas tree smell spray. It'll be cheaper and you'll at least have a fun story to tell the ambulance. If it's Tanqueray or below I'll mix it with tonic and a lime. A lot of whiskeys basically have to be mixed with water to make them tolerable if you intend to drink it (unless you can handle drinking a camp fire without retching - I'm looking at you Jack Daniels).

I always thought Grand Marnier was more of a brandy liqueur? I love adding it to punches and certain cocktails but I'd never thought of drinking it straight. It'd probably be a little sweet for my tastes.

If you're looking for a good low end gin for gin and tonics I'd recommend New Amsterdam. It's more citrus than juniper, which is perfect for a G&T. And at least in California, it was pretty reasonably priced for the quality.
As far as whiskey goes, I can't really condone watering it down unless it's sitting about 100 proof. Otherwise you're losing all those delicious subtle notes. Although if you're going hiking and want a pleasant buzz without bloating or impairment, the best choice is watering down whiskey to about 5-10%. That being said, whiskey is usually the only thing I'll drink so my preferences are probably a lot different than those who have more varied consumption.

#49 What Are Your Casting Preferences? in TF2 General Discussion
WithADanceNumberBring back the old eXtv style team uniforms for casts. That would be sick.

The uniforms looked cool, but I found them incredibly distracting when trying to watch those casts.

#31 Interests? in Off Topic

I've always believed that TF2 and cooking were somehow linked with each other. I previously worked part time as a personal chef, and while I realized that that's probably not what I want in a career, I still love spending time in my kitchen.

MarxistMy favorite drinks

Whiskey: Grand Mariner hands down
Gin: Willow is the best I've had, but Tanqueray will do most times.

Grand Mariner? I don't think I've heard of that one.
Also, if you ever get the chance to have Rusty Blade gin, do it in a heartbeat and never look back. I'm not a huge fan of gin (by itself anyways, I like it for mixed drinks and punches), but it's probably one of the top 3 spirits I've ever had.
