It was brought to my attention that even in time of absence, I'm still talked about by a number of different individuals on the server. Whether someone is bad mouthing me or giving praise to my name. The fact of the matter is, you can't say "Half-Duplex`" without getting some sort of reaction from somebody. Its as if I've become some sort of celebrity.
"But that's because you're an obnoxious asshole and no one likes you"
While this can be true at some times, it isn't always the case. Some of you may be surprised at the amount of friends I've acquired on Steam just by playing on SourceOP alone. This simple truth puts to rest the idea that everyone hates me.
"Duplex talks so much shit - but he's a shitty player and doesn't have any skills."
Heh, if only I had a nickel. And I'm sure that there are more than enough players who will beg to differ that my skills are less than inadequate. Truthfully, I can't begin to fathom how one can draw such a conclusion and yet remain totally oblivious to the countless times I've been MVP or top dog on the scoreboard.
"All Half-Duplex` ever plays is demo. All he does is spam nades and gets lucky shots. And he always has a medic - if he didn't he wouldn't do half as good."
Chances are, if you've made this comment - you're a complete noob who has no comprehension of how the game was designed to be played. If you haven't made this statement, then like me, you understand the physics of TF2. And while I can go into fine detail and outline the role of each class, I'll spare you, the reader, and simply say, "Teamwork". If you don't know what that means, especially when pertaining to TF2, then I'm only be beating a dead horse.
The point is, I'm one of the best, and I acknowledge that. I also don't sugarcoat it by being modest. The game is less fun that way. And I honestly enjoy that I've become such an influence on the server, whether it be for good or for worse.
