Thing is with Eternal Reward, once you score a backstab, you're swimming along. In my opinion, the best loadouts for spy is Eternal Reward with stock watch, or stock knife with Dead Ringer. I don't use the latter as I'm not a fan at all of Dead Ringer, and the former is challenging, which I like. What you need to do is single out the ones who are alone and oblivious to almost everything that's around them. At times, I can decloak right behind an enemy and score a backstab because they're so deaf, lol. Sometimes I can't help but feel as though the battlefield is my playground at times. You have to be planning ahead. You need to think of when to retreat and how much damage you might receive until you are safe. You get used to it over time, but just enjoy the game for what it is. I never played the game to get better at it. I played the game because it's so fun.

Just saying: you were on top of the scoreboard. I am nowhere near the best either, and when I encounter someone much better than myself, it's quite disconcerting but it at least drives me to try to get better.

Cancer simply means the effects that no one really wants - like nuts and bolts, or massed flies. No one really wants them, but gets them anyway just to show off that they have an unusual. I actually liked how keys were used as currency, as it used to be another step up from refined metals. It's simply used to compact a number of refined to save space in your backpack. I think that's ultimately why it's used. Also, keys are a way to get instant refined to trade away for various other things. However, now the corrupt greedy sons of b****es decided to make them hilariously expensive. Oh, and something amusing: if you ever want a botkiller, don't get tickets and waste your time trying to get the botkiller yourself. Just be lazy and buy the botkiller from someone, because botkillers are incredibly cheap compared to buying 3-6 tickets for one tour. That's something that depresses me. After investing in tickets and taking time to slave away for a botkiller, what you get isn't worth the effort at all and you lose a ridiculous amount. It shouldn't be that way, but depressingly it is.

It's not exactly something you should be concerned about, but I understand. Feeling poor and Irish feels bad, but when you have plenty of hats and miscs, you'll feel tons better than owning one simple expensive item. The most basic way to earn is by scrap banking. Selling a specific unique weapon for a scrap metal. That's as far as I'd personally go with trading. I haven't gone through with this though because in my opinion, 1-1 trades are best trades. I don't care for value. Also, a best bet is to just allow the items you do have display your skill level and keep on playing. When you have one refined, you can pretty much trade that off for a hat or misc. Imho, the expensive items are way too overrated. Buds is the only decent one because it simply states you love music, in a way. Then again... ~30 keys (is it?) is way too expensive. Just take pride in the items you earn, even if they're not all that expensive, is the way to go. Unusual hats... it's pretty tricky, tbh, to understand what one hat is worth when it has the status of being unusual. I managed to get my own unusual after uncrating about 25 crates (not counting the ~10 crates I opened before I had a mass uncrating of 40 crates). I think generally, unusuals are more expensive than buds. I'd say the very politely named 'cancer unusuals' are somewhere like a buds, then as you get better effects and a better hat, the price increases rather drastically, but I'm not sure in what way it actually increases. I've never cared about unusuals, so I don't really have an understanding of the pricing for unusuals. You could basically sell one unusual for $50 if it's a 'cancer', and easily go above $100 - if someone is actually willing to put real money into it - for a decent unusual. In a way, you could go for a gamble and buy keys from tf2shop.net, buy crates if you need more from the Steam Community Market, and attempt to find an unusual, which I would severely disapprove of. If you get lucky, you could sell the hat for credit on your Steam account, so you're basically getting free money at this point, then but more keys and crates and stumble upon another unusual and still have money left over. Or you could be unlucky and get nothing out of it: money wasted.

Even though I've been playing Scout a whole lot, I also miss easy shots, lol. Try to pick out your enemies carefully. Go for the ones who are out of position, where their teammates will struggle to help that guy out. Focus on slow moving targets as well as you're starting out. In time you will get used to mostly keeping the crosshair on your enemy as you move about, but it does take a ridiculous amount of time to be that good.Also, yes, boosting the sensitivity is a good thing. I usually think that if you can swing 360° with one swipe of a hand, you have a good sensitivity level, but it's something that's specific to each and every person. You have to find what suits you and you alone. Sniper is a good class to try to sort out sensitivity levels. If you struggle to score headshots, adjust the sensitivity level. A great map to sort out your rocket jumping is jump_4starters. I highly recommend that map to practice rocket jumping, but you need a ton of patience as it take an incredibly long time to get through. One day I went crazy and went on for nine hours almost constantly. Got from being stuck on B2 to being stuck on C2. If you go on that map, you have to start on A, because B is harder than A; C is harder than B, and D is harder than C. Just being able to rocket jump upwards help you a great deal as soldier since you can pinpoint where the enemy is heading, and deal splash damage on groups of people. If you think about it, if you shoot horizontally rather than straight down from the air, there's a good chance you'll miss. Not so if you take to the air and slam a rocket at your enemies.

I was playing lobbies numerous times as I want to attempt to get into competitive TF2. One guy, if I recall correctly, for some reason, whined at me and said anyone can play Scout. The answer is: yes, anyone can play Scout IF they put tons of practice into it just like with Soldier, Demo, etc. The reason why I mainly play Scout was due to MvM. Need to get all dat cash. Since then I've been playing Scout a whole lot. I'm not fantastic as Scout, but then again, you need to be attempting to dodge all forms of threats while at the same time attempting to pick off lone enemies. You gotta let your movement help you aim as well. If you move in one direction but turn the other direction to aim at an enemy, you're making it difficult for yourself to aim. I've just really been lucky, I guess, with the fact I had TF2 for so long, so I can play any class decently due to the amount of time I've been playing this game, lol. Anyway, I would say that playing MvM as Scout is a great way to get better at it. Better if you play expert, if you're brave enough. Something that I did a couple years ago was use Black Box. It's fine, I guess, if you don't care about rocket jumping. Now, however, I use standard Rocky because the +1 clip size from the Black Box is incredibly useful. Especially since I have an extra rocket to be able to maneuver quickly to get an advantage on enemies or to simply get away. Because of this, I use Gunboats all the time. It's the class I use to play more often than any other class, but I steered towards Scout quite a lot because you get things done fast as that class. If you want, you can add me. My Steam name is Tootiboy. I usually play on public servers, since my main goal in TF2 is... lo and behold... have fun! EDIT: I'll add you, since you have your steam account linked in your profile.

I could say unboxing an unusual after opening ~25 crates as my greatest accomplishment, but it really, really isn't. I guess it is in TRADE Fortress 2, but TEAM Fortress 2? Absolutely not. THIS. RIGHT HERE. Is my greatest accomplishment. Still, to this day, the best kill I pulled off in such an incredibly tight situation. A shame I didn't record it in full 1080p...

I've played TF2 for five years now... Anyway, it's actually done me some good because it gives me a reason to actually stream. I'm not as good as I could be had I took the game seriously, but then again I only ever played TF2 for fun, not for the competitive nature of the game. If you wanna join in my stream, just search the very same username as this. It's your choice though, after all. I'll be back to streaming on Monday, as an FYI. I usually play Scout with Sandman and the Flying Guillotine, along with stock scattergun. Such a ridiculously fun combination. It really is.

I have to say, for an 'amateur', I'm really digging this music so far. Had a listen to Molestia's and Dischord's Theme and, even though I personally don't feel they match the characters, it's still a good listen. It's not exactly something I'd listen to on its own, but would really be nice to listen to while I'm streaming. I think it's because there's no 'story' in this music so it works better when listening to it in the background. Will definitely check out your YouTube account and listen to some more. By the way, as long as the quality is good, people will notice you. Just have patience! EDIT: Hey, what did I say...? Just realised your first post was February 2012. Dayumn, you're doing well. Can't say I'm surprised at that though. Well done! EDIT 2: Just listened to your latest piece and holy SHI-. I actually howled in laughter - it was that awesome - when it came to the drop. This is the first time I've actually appreciated dubstep. The closest I got to it was psystep. Still, dubstep's not my sorta thing, but since I like this... damn, your music is good!

Wow... I don't even know how I can even critique this. It's... perfect! The only criticism anyone could even give is HURR DURR MAKE IT MORE LIKE THE ART STYLE OF MLP! I haven't ever considered commissions - especially since I have nothing I especially want. But this... holy hell. I suppose since I watched MLP I wanted something and it's that typical scenario of wanting to see myself as a pony, which would be pretty cool. I guess I have some idea of what I should look like, so I at least have that on my side for the moment. Damn good work, I have to say. It's moments like these I wish I could draw...
