In a totally random note: Just laugh it off. It can't hurt that bad. Can it?

Now that Hellgate:London is being put on hold(in a way) for the moment, I guess it's time for me to talk about my gaming experience so far with Team Fortress 2. I mean, that is really the only thing my life is revolving around, save for doing stuff that sustains (my) life. Till the inevitable time wherein I would have to partake in mind-numbing revisions and related activities, but life is all about waiting for the good times I guess haha

Servers, Country

Singapore/Malaysia: Silence breeds contempt
Relatively friendly server although this may be the result of people not really using microphones to communicate making this game disregard the word Team. Aside from the occasional Ah Beng typing out strange phrases (see: ccb knn) nothing much.

China/Korean/Japanese: No newbies allowed
Coming here to train has really let me learn lots of new things such as controlling my mouse, tips for controlling the various classes etc. Not really stunted by any language barriers here as the Korean and Japanese servers speak plain English(most of the time) whereas the Chinese servers speak Mandarin. This pretty much leads up to me having to use my awful communication skills to try to tell my teammates that there is a Heavy upfront..... More or less translated as 前面有个肥猪 ..... Not really the best translation but we have to follow the lingo... As they say when in Rome, do as the Chinese do.

Also they have lots of custom maps haha

Australian servers: Just plain fun
Yup of all the servers I have played so far, the Australian hosted servers have held the most "fun value" of all, why is this so? For the simple reason that these people actually use their microphones a lot and at the same time speak English without lots of slang jobs and such. So when they say a Spy is coming up the sewers they actually mean in(Not that it could mean anything else haha)

The use of microphones really help the server seem more alive and that you are actually playing with and against humans and not mute bots. This also leads to hilarious situations, full on charges as an entire team, coordinated offences/defences/min-skirmishes. They are also willing to teach(or do so much more efficiently) you how to do weird stuff haha. Until someone jumps in and sings the Danny Phantom theme song, but that's what the ignore button is for haha

Played Pyro a lot today, using some of the tips I had picked up while listening to the random chatterings of the Aussie slang. Always in the top 3 spots(not showing off) but, this session was a lot more fun than before I guess. We had so many laughs and we were all trying out new(see: unconventional) tactics to combat the other team..... Yes, we even tried Medic rushing haha, which totally failed when a lone Pyro just dropped down and burned us all to a crisp, not even 10 other Medics healing each other would do much wen the criticals keep coming haha

Random Notes:

What I did today in a nutshell
Woke up, did the daily necessities, ate lunch, went to my cousin's house, ate dinner, went home, tada

I just realized that everything is changing rapidly around me, not jsut costs and such but people, even people you thought you know have changed. For better or worse I cannot say.

Lol no pictures again haha

Signing Off......... I didn't cry the day you moved away..... Didn't think that I would feel this pain.... Until I saw the stranger that was you
