    Picture Guys. I am a hacker.

    Where's an admin when you need one? Someone needs to ban this hacker.

    I'm fairly certain that that's from DoodleHUD, which was the HUD I used to use. VoidHUD is awesome, though. I absolutely love it. Thank you for it.

    Video The New Uber Meta

    I haven't posted here in a while, but considering how essential Skial was to the success of my new video, I thought I'd share it with you all.

    Actually, my claim about scrambles was accurate with Skial servers (that it scrambles you based on win percentage). It was inaccurate about Valve servers because I'm apparently the most unlucky person to have ever tried playing on a Valve server, given how team compositions often went when I...

    Okay, but you haven't addressed this: Is this or is this not still true?

    I am perfectly aware of how it works, and it's far from unique in its workings. All rating systems (HLStatsX:CE, which is what I believe Skial uses, GameME, etc) use similar setups. Playing on any server that sends the stat messages to chat (or just looking up the events log of a player) will...

    Everyone in the top 100 has also been playing for a very, very long time almost exclusively on Skial servers. One of the weaknesses of these stat systems is that playing for a long time will get you points, even if you're only average, and that issue gets worse the higher the skill level of the...

    I haven't had it happen on any other server, but I guess I'll keep my eyes open. To be fair, I played on STAR_'s server for about an hour and a half or so before it happened the first time, and I had actually gotten disconnected by the update while playing, so there's that.

    So it turns out that something about STAR_'s server just doesn't get along with my TF2 all of a sudden. It happened again, and I did try recording a demo and then stopping it and it didn't work. Three of those kills were when the Medic popped kritz on me at the start of the round (right...

    Quite frankly, your argument is stupid. Diplomacy isn't one of my strong suits, so I'm not going to bother trying (and failing) to sugar-coating it. It not only ignores the reality (Black Box and Conch actually forgive and reward getting up close and personal, especially with a lot of players...

    He may not be the best Soldier, but it's demonstrable that he has "some knowledge of the game." I am also perfectly fine with saying, flat-out, that he is a better Soldier than I am. I would argue that all the banners are highly underrated in Highlander. I've pointed out before that they...

    Picture How easy is Soldier? I'll show you!

    I gotta be honest: I've not had an issue fighting other Soldiers in a long time. Badwater LA, STAR_'s server (including against STAR_ while he was playing on it), TN (not that I play on that one a whole lot these days) tend to not give me any trouble. When using the Black Box in lobbies and in...

    Mostly that I'm a noob/scrub that can pretend to be good because his class and loadout forgives him every time.

    Engineer may not require a lot of skill to contribute to his team's victory, but he does require knowledge. If you don't know where to put your buildings or how to deal with a push, then you're really not going to do all that much. Consider how well an unwrangled sentry gun on top of the alcove...
