My rant for the evening: NOOBY PYROS and other problems with TF2

Got addicted to TF2 in Uni and discovered the scurge of pubs, noobs in general and when they go as pyros. Was on a 8 v 8 map and our team had 4 frickin pyros. Meant we got our asses kicked in Badwater. Makes a medic's job hell (btw, if anyone needs a low mid/+ medic, give me a call)

Also the Scout update, stupid op'd Sandman. Can't take a leasurly stroll across a map without one stunning you, even when ubered. Because of couse, I'd be impervious to bullets, fire and explosions but not a baseball Not suprised most leauges ban it in proper matches.

Except for thhem, I love the game ^.^

I hate it when you become into a girl and you get really close.
But when you ask her out she says I dont like you like that.

Its happened to me 5 times this year.

What sucks more is asking out a girl, who is everything you have ever complained about wanting and getting an "I don't know."
Then you decided to wait a while before asking her out again and the next thing you know she has a boyfriend. OH and she wants you to meet her boyfriend becuase we would get along.

yeah, that's a female of the dog species got no advice for that one

Ah, "Team Fortress 2" gripes. I'll join in.

Glitchers. I hate them. I'm trying to play a serious match (as serious as "TF2" can be, anyways), when out of nowhere I get murderized by sentry gun hidden behind a wall. That should not happen. Or how about skywalkers? They also piss me off royally, especially the ones that play Sniper. Or how about the ones that build sentries behind the fences in 2Fort? Normally when any of these happen I send the glitcher, even if he's on my team, a message saying "Glitching isn't cool, dude.", and surprisingly, most of them quit after that. I have gotten responses saying "But it's fun!", though, in which case I do a facepalm and tell them "So that makes it right? It's not blatantly cheating if it's fun?"

Friendly Pyros that chase you for ten minutes trying to see if you're a Spy or not. I mean, if I didn't burst into flames the first thousand times you tried, what makes you think I'm going to now?

Medics that heal a Heavy or a Soldier instead of me, even when whoever they're healing is overhealed and I'm burning to death. I run in front of them, shoot at them, whack them with whatever melee weapon I've got and keep calling "Medic!" only to be completely ignored.

Nooby players who use my teleporters, attract the attention of enemies, and end up getting my (what I hoped was a secret) teleporter exit destroyed. Then after that the enemy team is careful to make sure I can't build one there again.

W+M1 pyros suck. They give pyros who know what they're doing like us (sneak + shotgun) hatred by association.

At least they nerfed the Sandman so you only get 50% damage while you're stunned.

Yes and Yes.

Actually, I play Scout and Pyro for the most part
Over 95 hours Scout now.
Then, like, 30 and less for everything else

[Twilight Wolf]

Engineer is my top class, followed by Spy and Demoman. Soldier's about to surpass Demoman, though.

[DK]

One more little gripe, scouts and teleporters. Use to play heavy a lot and was peeved by how many scouts would jump on teleporters when they can run. Just try doing that as a heavy.

[Twilight Wolf]

That irks me too, especially if I'm the Heavy in question.

Also, people who sneak in and steal health kits, while I'm lower on health than they are/on fire, just before I can get to them.

Also, it doesn't really make me mad, but I don't understand why people ragequit. It's happened three times to me in three nights: The first time, I placed sappers on every building in a mini-base the enemy team made in our intelligence room in 2Fort, then backstabbed the Engineer responsible for building it while he was trying to remove one of my sappers. He left immediately afterwards. The second time I kept killing an enemy Spy with my shotgun as an Engineer, and he left immediately, too. Then tonight I dominated someone as a Demoman and he left. I mean, why? If people keep owning me and start dominating me, I see it as a challenge for me to get revenge on them, not get so pissed I just leave the match. Talk about sore losers... Then again, however, it kind of fills you with pride to know you managed to piss someone else off that much just by playing the game.

[XCVG]

I do that a lot, actually (in a lot of games). When I realize a server is above my skill level, I quit and try another. I do that in BF2 A LOT.

[64M320N3]

I wouldn't call it a good strategy, but usually i just continue sucking instead of quitting. It's against my standards.

[HotDog-Cart]

I really dislike commercials. Haha. Thats my biggest pet peeve. Right at the best part, oh oh oh! Commercial. Dammit.

And I hate when, there isnt any commercials for the first half of a tv show/movie and then like during the last 30 mins-45 mins theres a commercial like every 5 minutes.

[bicostp]

I have almost 130 hours as Pyro under my belt, and yet on pubs I still get "HURR HURR W+M1 SUX pick a real class NOOB" remarks. Of course, these are also the people who go spy, disguise as sniper, and run through the front lines screaming "MEDIC! MEDIC! MEDIC!". You call them noobs, I call them kindling. Getting accused of cheating because I burned them within an inch of death and finished them off at range with the shotgun is funny, too. One time on a public server I was accused of hacking because I burned everyone to death with almost 100% crits. Why? I had the backburner equipped, and got behind them in a narrow hallway.

I can't stand battle medics and pocket medics. Battle medics? Come on. You can do a lot more for your team than shooting syringes at the other team. The Blutslager is only there to help you get your butt out of a jam in one piece. And pocket medics who only heal one heavy the entire round while everyone else gets killed? Why don't you just have your precious fatty carry you around in a giant snuggly so you have to do even less? Ugh and medics who think using the Kritzkreig on offense in Dustbowl?

At least they nerfed the scouts' "I win" ball.

I hate Norton Antivirus. I upgraded last month because it ran out but, since I upgraded, I actually have gotten way more pop ups and probably a few viruses, like last night I was on here a site that never gives me trouble and I was re-directed to a online virus scan site which wouldn't let me leave. I didn't even click anything, so that is my rant,


PS. Anyone want to reccomend a good anti-malware/virus/spyware program?

[sgtpepper]

Anyone want to reccomend a good anti-malware/virus/spyware program?

Being primarily a Mac user, I'd never used anti-virus of any sort until I built a computer a couple months ago. I figured I should probably get something to protect Vista, but I didn't really want to pay for it... Which led me to Malwarebytes. There's a free version that's somewhat feature-limited, but it's easily adequate for me. I think the premium version has automated stuff, etc. I run it every couple days, it finds something every couple weeks, and that's about it. All in all, I've been pretty impressed, and I've had no problems at all! (btw, I've tried using Norton before, and it's total bullsh!t, it's a processor hog, and it would more often flag my own files than real viruses )

On a different note... I work at Subway, on cash register. I know I shouldn't expect much from society, but seriously, people are just dumber than a bag of hammers... Here's an example:

*Customer approaches end of line, their sandwich is handed to me, already wrapped, so I don't know what kind it is*
Me: "What kind of sandwich do you have sir?"
Customer: "It's a 5 dollar footlong"
Me: "What kind of sandwich is it?"
Customer: "I just told you, it's a five dollar footlong"
Me: "What is on the sandwich?"
Customer: "Why does it matter? They're all five dollar, right?"
Me: "I just need to know for inventory, sir."

At this point, one of two things happen:

Option A-
Customer: "Ohh, it's a turkey sandwich"
Me: "That'll be $5.48, have a nice day"

Option B-
Customer: "Ohhh, well it's a Philly Cheese Steak"
Me: "That's not part of the five dollar footlong promotion, that'll be $9.84"
*Customer is appalled at the notion that they didn't read the HUGE sign at the beginning of the line that informs them that the Philly and the Feast are excluded from the promotion, and then proceeds to walk out the door, leaving their ten dollar heart attack on the counter*

The outlook of human intelligence is quite scary...
