Yes, I only play pyro...

[REDjackeT]

Hi.

I've been bumming around, guess I'll just post one of these.

Well, for gaming, I've been playing online since Quake, played QWTF heavily... very heavily.  I was in a few clans, played in STA bronze, ran a few servers off company bandwith that were resonably popular.  Stopped playing it for CS during beta 2, ran a few servers for it as well that were resonably popular.  Ran a TFC server for a bit, don't really remember much about that one though.  Hmm.  I ended up getting sucked in to WoW (Greymane, Alliance, Druid).  I don't play it much anymore, but my account is still active.  I pre-ordered the orange box, played the TF2 beta, and have 200+ hours racked up as a pyro now.  Took a break for a while since the release for some WoW time (serious guild, actually getting though PvE crap).  Also played some CoD4 for a bit.  Now I play on this server since most other servers are filled with... people I want to strangle... daily... with a pick axe.  Makes me wish I still had the bandwith to host a server.

As far as non-gaming...

I'm 24, live near chicago, a dude, love MST3k/Monty Python... and... stuff.  I work at a newspaper/isp doing anything IT related.  I hate printers.  Hate.  Printers.  Sadly this little intro bit is making me think that there's not much to talk about in my life.  Instead, lets talk about turkeys.

Turkeys are a flightless bird and once thought to be so inept that they could drown when it rained.  Turkey's have a twig-and-berries type device hanging from their nose/face area and I'm far too lazy to wikipedia why that is.  Eating a turkey may cause sleepiness as they have a chemical that makes one filled with sleepiness as protection from preditors.  One might ask, "How is that supposed to make preditors not want to eat them if they have to eat them in order to find out that it will make them sleepy which doesn't seem like a big deal to someone on the upper end of the foodchain?"  Shut up.  No one likes a smart ass.  Unless they're an attractive smart ass and offering up some nice panty shots.  Turkeys don't offer up nice panty shots.  Turkeys don't wear panties.  Yes, they are dirty little hussy-birds.  Speaking of hussy birds, I'm tired of Emus running about thinking that they own "the joint".  As if "the joint" could be owned by a bunch of ostrich wannabes that can't seem to evolve in to something less fugly.  It makes me sick.  Pfft, stupid emus.

You should stop by some time, I live in Naperville, and Ive been watching MST3K as of late, trying to download and watch every season starting from 10 and going backwards, Im on 6 right now.  ;D

Also, cubs or sox?

[rumsfald]

Also, Wilco or Smashing Pumpkins?

[REDjackeT]

Cubs.  A bear is more frightening then a sock.  Unless they combine forces... but I don't actually care much about the baseball unless I'm actually at a game, and I'll watch either.

Smashing Pumpkins just because I like one of their songs.

Good old STA ladders. I played in bronze under [TFT] and a bit in silver under [iCE].

Welcome to the boards!

Bears in socks. I smell a successful children's television programme. And Caff is happy he has company in the lazy midwest.

Also, that rant about turkeys was one of the better things I've ever read on here.

Welcome!

Play a real class, fgt.

(Sorry, I have no respect for the pyro due to it's general usage, even if you are actually good at it ;P)

I hate printers.  Hate.  Printers. 

Don't worry, there is a special corner of hell reserved for people who design printers.

also, remember to target spore and wedge specifically if you can.

I'd probably hate the class less if it wasn't affected the most by Valve's shitty netcode.  I don't like taking tons of damage from a pyro that looks like they're 20 feet away from me.

Don't worry, I already do...

Yeah, I understand.  I hate getting melee'd by people when they're a good 8ft away too.  Go go sniper-wrench!

I think it's more frustrating when flames are around people and they're not taking any damage.

you got to be kidding me. getting sniped around the corner and spore basically throwing knives at your back is a lot more frustrating.

welcome pyro brother

I'm ditto-ing myself again because I think it can't be overstated.
