I just went on a fucking journey.

I played as r4pture for a few rounds, before getting bored and becoming the cell known as Shia LaBeouf. A scourge filled our zone, a scouge named Sreuekjfbgvkj something. Weird name, can't remember it, but a massive cell. BUT STILL, a cell stood up, named "Kill Sjvbekhret" took up the task. KS, as it turns out ,was ruthless, and after the original threat moved on, KS reigned, and he reigned ruthlessly. As a paniced little Shia LaBeouf cell, I slowly grew to 5th, then soon 3rd largest cell in the area. To my surprise, a cell named USA, whos flag flew openly and in MSPaint, tossed me a few pieces to help me grow. A friendship was formed. A friendship that grew into feeding in an attempt to take down the massive and ruthless KS. I fed USA. USA fed me. We exchanged deaths, and tried again. Soon we became Shia4USA and USA4Shia, a tag team focused on dethroning the scourge KS, who had become what he so sought to destroy.

It was down to USAs "last life" before leaving, being just a few bunch of cells zooming around, collecting parts to toss to me. Finally, the plan was working. I was now the largest cell. By harvesting the big green explodey cells, I grew to rival and even surpass KS. A battle was waged. Tight turns, trickery, and farming were used. We exchanged explosive shots through the green cells, I was in so many pieces, and KS was nearly whole and gaining! But then....from the distance, a friend rode into battle. A friend less then half my size, but USA cares not for the size, but for the impact. Suiciding himself into me, I grew too large to absorb. I had KS trapped, surrounded by Shia LaBeouf and explodey cells, my parts reforming, no where to run, I closed in...!

The battle was won. An epic, two hour struggle had come to an end. KS was absorbed, and vanished from the game, without even a word. USA and I celebrated in tossing parts back and forth, growing from the smallest to the largest, back and forth. Finally, I dove myself into him, giving him everything I had in thanks. I returned only briefly as "Shia says GG" to find my friend again. Instantly he showered me in parts, but the time had come. With the battle won, I dove into him again and left, feeling more victorious then I had in many years.

Glorious.

I don't think anyone is crazy enough to argue froyo isn't "worthy" to be at an i series LAN. I'm looking at it more from the "promoting comp tf2 to the world" angle. The finals reached the most eyeballs with the highest viewership iirc, and for anyone new coming in it was just a quick wash and then it was over. I'm not going to bitch if froyo goes because "america fuck yeah", I'm just saying its not the end of the world if they don't.

Also its mostly just me posting after being exhausted after work, so ignore the ramblings of a mad man if you so desire.

The best, actually viable (to Valve) nerf I've seen about the mini is limiting its FOV. Instead of having a full 360 degree view it can only look/fire towards its front half, halving its total area of attack and giving scouts/soldiers/pyros/anyone really the ability to flank it without getting smashed. It would seem like a small nerf, but the effects it would have are huge imo.

I'd actually be ok with froyo not going at all so we don't have a shit-show whitewash final like last time. In terms of excitement and skilled, even games, we need more "Mixup^ vs Immunity" type matches, less "Froyo vs Epsilon".

I just noticed that at 1:21 when the spy is picking a disguise, the picture of Gaben is wearing the TotHs Tipped Lid.

We made it boys.

Super happy to have the old front page back. It just "feels" right, more welcoming.

Parents were super religious and believed all kinds of crazy shit, think Ancient Aliens. Despite all the crazy shit they believed and talked about, they were always violently against the rapture as biblical truth. I put a 4 in it as kind of a throwback to the old net.

The longer I look at it, the loss of the front page isn't something I can get behind. It was a nice little hub of info, especially to new people, who now won't know what events are coming without looking through the forums, which most people just glancing won't bother to do.

No more front page coverage with pictures and such to highlight upcoming events?

I've been having this issue for like, almost a year, even after a full format and new SSD install. Not as bad, but a lot of frame skips and freezes. Good luck.
