Little story time here;
My parents are pretty strict with what they let me do. I was not allowed to watch pg-13 till I was 13, play T games until I was a teenager, and to this day they still shut my internet off from 9 pm to 7:30 am among other things that I have grown accustomed to (No R movies either unless reasons). Since I was about 9 I think, I had gotten a ds and played that for a few years, then I bought an iPod. Believe it or not, but I was pretty hardcore with that thing. I never really liked games like angry birds, but there was one called battle bears that was actually pretty similar to tf2 (I didn't know about steam/tf2). I played that for I think 2 years and got pretty good, and then I turned 12. When I was 12, I could finally get 12+ apps for iPod and I had heard about cod and stuff and I wanted to find something similar but that my parents would allow. I convinced my dad to let me use his mac labtop, and I got a game called modern combat domination (lot like counter strike, didn't know) and played that for a bit along with battle bears. I didn't take it all that seriously though, mainly because the way you got weapons made no sense. I also played wii mario kart around this time, which I also took pretty competitively. I think I was around top 200 or something. That was my intro to pc games.
Anyways, about tf2, I think I heard a few friends talk about it and I thought it would be a great idea to finally find a game in common (13 years old). Had to convince my dad a ton to let me download something that big, I didn't dare tell him it was rated M, and when he saw all the blood and stuff he wasn't happy. But I figured out how to turn off gibs and he seemed
ok with it. It was still a struggle for a while though because he would use it for work. Once I got my own pc though they kind of stopped caring. Of course my friends stopped playing once I started, so I have nobody to talk/play with irl which actually really stinks.
Just wanted to share a little background about me, read it if you wish :)
