hey guys, i'v made my best scout performance ever i think and i recorded it, i wonder if you would like to see it or not ? on cp_5gorge, i made 146 points and we lost. the top pointer in the winning was a spy with 100 points, the 4 others mvp's had around 60. would you like to see it ?? i used the sandman a lot. Ken, i know you don't like the sandman but it might give you some tips on how to use it.

Can you post it to YouTube? That'd be easiest for me.

[akalazou]

its a 40 round, so it would be like 50 Go before the compression, so i won't do it, that would be to long to render. i can upload the .dem tho and then, you just need to play it in game ...

[akalazou]

Epic Sandman - Kills: 5000 (Heavies Killed: 225) (Cloaked Spies Killed: 73) weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I haven't been playing TF2 for a while. I don't even have it installed on my new computer. Do you still have that demo?

[akalazou]

yes i do, do you want me to upload it somewhere?

[akalazou]

i uploaded it there: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qr7whu

press "Click here to start download from sendspace" to start the download

easiest way to view it, unzip it anywhere on your computer, open TF", press shift+f2, then double click the .dem . press shift+f2 to close the little window again.

Mike Green got me a mic for xmas, and last night I finally figured out how to use it. As if I didn't already play this game too much...ugh. Anyway, I'm hoping this new feature will help make me a stronger medic, as I should be able to communicate way better and faster now. Man I hope this doesn't get me even more addicted.

On an unrelated note, I've been working on building up my inventory through savvy trading. I'm now up to 12 keys, and I think my goal is to get to 15-17 and make a play at a low-tier spy unusual. Or maybe I'll just get a strange sapper and some nice miscs for my characters. Overall I'm pretty happy with my current loadouts. I get a lot of compliments for my medic loadout especially: orbit planets grimme hatte, blighted beak, and foppish physician. But yeah, it'd be kinda cool to have unusuals for 7/9 of the classes.

[akalazou]

i have a second pair of spy shoes if you want ... sneaky something

Thanks Julien- first I want to make a play at either getting another unusual, or upgrading one of my current ones. Depending how much I have left after that, I'll figure out how I want to upgrade my loadouts.

Speaking of which, yesterday I made an offer on an orbiting planets private eye. I was offering my current demo unusual plus keys and sweets, and was excited because I thought the hat would be an upgrade for my demo, and also solve the problem of giving me a spy unusual. I made my offer, then went to footbag. When I came home I saw the owner had accepted my friend request, which was promising, but then it turns out they sold the hat to somebody else. If I had come home 30 minutes earlier, I would have had the hat. Crap. I guess I'll just have to keep looking, and keep making offers. Patience is usually rewarded, so I just gotta be patient.

In good hats news, yesterday I got my best item drop ever: a charmer's chapeau! Not only that, but when I checked the level I saw it was 69! What a crazy drop. I now have my 2 favorite spy hats (chapeau and fez), though I may try and sell them since I won't use either once I have an unusual for spy. Even though spies are disguised 95% of the time, I think I want a spy unusual more than a sniper or scout one at this point. I don't play much scout, and if it's not a milkman unusual I'd probably die instantly anyway. And for sniping, I think unusuals tend to draw too much attention anyway.

[akalazou]

I can train you as scout if you want when i'll get back home, i'll post the best scout tutorial i know. I use a lot of things in that tutorial. ie: i jump over my oponents, even pyros, pyros dont expect that and it's VERY effective

On another note, my sandman has more than 6900 kills now

I'll check those out after work. I think I'd play a lot more scout if I had a strange holy mackerel....otherwise I only really scout when it's a CTF map.

What are your current primary loadouts for your characters?

For me:

Scout: Milkman (which I crafted), haunted spooky sleeves, stereoscopic shades, wicked nasty shortstop, server clearing mad milk, and holy mackerel.
Soldier: N&B Chieftain Challenge, professor specs, menpo, face melting blackbox, wicked nasty shotgun, unremarkable market gardener
Pyro: Massed flies brain slug (brown), last breath, professor specs, server clearing degreaser, wicked nasty shotgun, totally ordinary axetinguisher
Demoman: Bubbling scotch bonnet, dangeresque glasses, menpo, spectacularly lethal grenade launcher, server clearing sticky launcher, somewhat lethal bottle
Heavy: Smoking Ushanka, toss proof towel, prof specs, truly feared natascha, sandvich, GRU
Engie: Smoking texas ten gallon (black), prof specs, license to maim badge, gore spattered frontier justice, wrangler, face melting jag
Sniper: Spine twisting skull (which i crafted), garlic flank stake, license to maim badge, positively inhumane sniper rifle, razorback, mildly menacing tribalman's shiv
Medic: Orbiting planets grimme hatte, blighted beak (level 42), foppish physician, spectacularly lethal syringe gun, face melting medigun, spectacularly lethal ubersaw
Spy: Familiar fez, vintage camera beard, gen distinguished rogue, rage inducing knife, uncharitable diamondback, spectacularly lethal dead ringer.

Still stockpiling keys in the hope I can get a new unusual or upgrade one of my current ones. But for the most part pretty happy with my set up. My one regret was not getting a strange sapper before the 40 crate retired. It was at the point where I could have snagged one for 8-9 keys probably, but now that the 40 is gone everybody jacked up their prices. Blergh.

Bought my 7th unusual hat today: a blizzardy storm private eye! Cost me 28 keys, which isn't bad since I think it's worth 1.8 buds. Anyway, stoked that I now have hats for 7 of my classes. I can also now mix up my unusual hats for medic and demo too. Just wanted to share, cause I'm really happy about it.

[akalazou]

2 thumbs up !

[DTank126]

So I DLed this the other night and tried playing it. I have NO IDEA wtf I'm doing but it seems really fun. Anywho if anyone (either of the two of you) wanna play sometime send me a PM. Or text me, 585-354-6683 (Maybe not Julien since it'd prolly be expensive to text from Canada)
