Addicted To Team Fortress 2!

I’m not that much of an obsessive gamer the way some guys are, but when great games come my way (Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights, Final Fantasy, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Evil Genius), I sit up, take notice and become a little more obsessive than normal.

Case in point, Team Fortress 2. Rubin, Reuben and I actually plonked down $45 to buy it from Steam and play it online. For the first week or two, we sucked bad. Consistently at the bottom of the score list. As with all things, the more you play the better you get. Reuben is now pretty excellent, I get by but Rubin still sucks. (see screenshot for proof. He’s that weird scribble thing that’s dominated by me)

I really like the game because unlike Counter-Strike (which we reached last 16 in Singapore for WCG last year), it doesn’t just emphasise on the offense. And indeed I’m not a great player going forward, so the defensive engineer, backup medic or slinking around corners as a pyro play to my strengths, as my player statistics would suggest.

If you’re playing TF2 on steam look for me (UniqueFrequency) or drop me a comment so we can have a couple of games together!
