real quick aside: if anyone reading this has any questions about the competitive tf2 scene or how to get into it, just PM me...

glouch, to answer your question on the last page, i started playing tf2 almost 3 years ago i think. and yes, it's more fun now. not just because im better, but because i feel like the variety keeps the game interesting. there's not an enormous amount of metagame in tf2; most of it comes down to "did you position yourself well, and did you aim well?
