Everyone was supportive and friendly to each other, all because we shared a love for such an amazing game. People shared small stores about their day, and anyone who had a bad day, we tried to put a pleasant light on it. I personally try to be as pleasant as possible even if I have a shitty day, so to break ice at the beginning I simply asked how everyone's day was going. Conversations ranged from in-game friendly banter to the med being absolutely ecstatic as to how his all-kritz strat worked. Before the game started 14 players were put into a "Game Building" channel, where we can all chit chat while we wait to be separated into teams. I want to share one of the games, the one on Borneo. Before I go into detail, I just want to give a huge thank you to the wonderful players I played with last night, those Upward and Borneo games were among the most amazing I have ever played. However I did not play with any "big names" that I know of last night, it was still one of the most amazing two games I have ever played. Relatively new players like me can play and interact with others from all skill levels, like other newer players to big names like Uncle Dane and Stabby and Sigafoo himself. First I would like to say I love the idea of PUGs,especially the ones hosted by sigafoo and his gang. I whole-heartedly believe that the Team Fortress Community is one of the friendliest, most wholesome group of games I have ever had the honor of interacting with, and some PUGs last night perfectly demonstrate this.
As I play, I can have some sense of control of what was going on around me, unlike some of the things I have gone through recently.īut it's not just the game I want to talk about, it's the community. Team Fortress was my way of coping with the stresses if my life. Everyday once I finish with my schoolwork or I mindlessly slog through another shift, I could come home and get comfortable with my favorite game. I could be something great, even if it was only for one hour. I could race across maps, soar high through the air, and save my fellow teammates from the brink of death for just one last push. I could put myself in a world where I felt like I was someone much bigger than I felt like I actually was. On that computer was my absolute favorite game, Team Fortress 2. Tucked away in my room was my computer, which I have put a lot of hard work and effort into building. However, every day I had something I could always look forward to. So I have been going through a really rough six months, I had a family member pass away, I had a parent go off to rehab for a month unexpectedly, and what would have been a very sweet and constructive relationship fall apart around me as I balanced work and school in the months leading up to my high school graduation.
