Team Fortress 2

So, some people had been complaining that I haven't been updating my blog. Well, I haven't really been around lately. Had been busy exploring new places, making new friends and discovering new horizons. My new world was pretty fresh, exciting and new everyday.

Until a power trip. A power trip that blew up my home router which disconnected me from my new found world. I'm back to the real world for a bit till I get that bloody thing fixed. Well, before I disappear again, I guess I'll talk a bit of this virtual world I've been living in, the world of team fortress 2.

Welcome to the world of Team Fortress 2. I fell in love with the art concept the very first time I saw it. The characters just seem so lovable and fun, so I just bought it without much consideration. As usual, it was something impulsive and I started regretting a little when I got home. Heck. I pop the disc in and I stepped into the new found world. I never looked back.

Besides the art, the game concept was a whole new story. This game was all about different classes with unique strength and weaknesses. Each one of them have their own functions and team work was the key to the game. Game play was just capture the flag and territory capture, but the amount of fun provided was simply endless.

TF view
The first person view of a Scout, who is all about speed but also the most fragile.

TF pyro
Pyro doing his victory dance. A close combat specialist who torches you to the depths of hell.

TF engineers
Engineers, the main pillar of defense. Their sentry guns will rip any hostiles in sight.

TF demoman
Mr. Demoman who beats people up with a bottle of whiskey and Mr. Sniper who will pop your head a mile away.

TF heavy
The Heavy Weapons guy, slow and dumb, but deadly as ever.

TF soldier
The Soldier who blasts rockets from his bazooka.

So far, I'd say its a pretty balanced game but the rest of it depends on the other gamers out there. It can be pretty fucked up being teamed up with only engineers who just camp at base. Gaming with different people everyday can surprise you with things they do. There was once when this fucking n00b medic followed me (I was playing a spy disguised as an enemy) and healed me at the enemy's base, which practically screams "Shoot him! He's a fucking spy!"

Oh heck. I really need to replace that fucking router.

I am having withdrawal symptoms.

I need to reconnect....

Haha, well, Half Life 2, just tried out the game yesterday. Somehow the feel just wasn't there for the game. Didn't get my adrenaline pumping.
