I've been trying a lot to get better as scout. Is it just me or is Scout an extremely underpowered class?

Very low health bar, primary which can only get kills at very close range, well ranged but pretty inaccurate low damage secondary, and a melee.

It just seems like every other class has some unbeatable situation. Pyro can sabotage and get kills and assists from burn damage. Snipers can one shot almost anything with good aim. Heavies can take down a rhino at close range, with little effort or aiming skill. Demoman can stickybomb kill huge groups of enemies. Soldier can spam rockets and take out enemies pretty easily, not to mention crockets. Engineer can take down most classes with a well placed sentry. Spy has backstabbing to 1 shot enemies.

What does Scout have? All I'm saying is that there is no real overpowering or quick kill strategy. It just weakens the class a lot in my eyes. I'd say it would at least stand a chance at being a balanced class if it had the health of Pyro or Demoman.

Good track from their often overlooked debut EP.

Fleet Foxes' debut is one of my favorite folk albums. Up there with Bridge Over Troubled Water.

My country isn't listed. I'm from the U.S. OF A.

Did "Gifted" mean "class for the stupid kids" for you guys? I was put in actual "Gifted" student classes because of high test scores. It was for advanced material the rest of the class wasn't doing.

Holy fucking crap this game is frustrating. NOTHING is predictable. You do bit of a puzzle, you die, you start again, you get one step further, you die, you start again, you get one step further, you die, you start again...

It doesn't help that all the controls are delayed about a second. (Push the button, wait a second, see the character jump) Causes you to miss jumps ALL the time.

Organic Strawberry Poptarts. I buy the organic kind because I'm allergic to the red dye in the Pop Tart brand.

I was doing some tests today in various servers. There's about a quarter second lag from when I click to when the gun I'm using fires. It might not seem like a big deal, but when lining up shots on moving targets as sniper, I feel like the delay is making me miss shots.

Anybody else have this problem?

A newer definition can't sell it for me. The only HD re-release I remember buying was Earthworm Jim HD because not buying Earthworm Jim is a criminal offense. And I understand that Earthworm Jim has been released on every console ever I'm really wondering why I bought it. I all ready own it PC and it's just fine, I don't see why I need to buy the same game because OH GOD OH GOD HD WOWZA I CAN PLAY A 2D SIDE SCROLLER IN HIGH DEFINITION

 

And Jim's voice sounded awful, cripes, it was like he was voiced by Psy-Crow.

 

I don't know where I'm getting at with this, but HD re-releases are pointless unless you can't play Silent Hill 2 without enhanced graphics in an all ready fine looking game.

Sounds like you still have an SD television available to play those games on. Cause playing a standard definition game on any modern hd television (all of them), results in an extremely ugly picture quality, like watching a 240 video on youtube, in fullscreen. SD video is really much better suited to an SD television, cause of the smooth analog quality of the CRT screen.

So no, going back to the SD games sadly isn't much of an option for me since I don't have an SD television anymore, and I can't stand seeing the games in such horrible picture quality.

Why do you want one so badly? Why not a strange sandvich or an unusual sandvich or something? Why vintage? Really, vintage is the worst of the item types. At least strange counts kills, and unusual looks different. Vintage is an adjective and a font colour.

A disgusting sandwich, made of dry meat.

Wait the only difference with a Vintage item is that it has blue text?

 

Indeed. It also represents that the item was around before the MANN-conomy update.

Sorry to spoil your hopes and dreams but that's not always true.

From the wiki

In some cases, items that have been re-granted to users by Steam support were assigned Vintage quality.

Twin Snakes very much was a remake. They used nothing from the original game to create Twin Snakes, so there's nothing to be rereleased.

Hamburglar, it's not just a port to a different system. The majority of these new rereleases are playable in HD.

These are called HD Rereleases man, not remakes. They upres textures and port the engine to HD with antialiasing. It's kind of like calling Half Life Source a remake.

I like when they do stuff like this, because I don't have an SD television to play these games on anymore.

I live in Memphis Tennessee.

I'm reminded of a voice clip in Oblivion of an Orc saying frankly "I hate it here."

Theme song of Pyro:

Not just the internet, but computers in general. And I suppose with 3D cinemas the number will increase even more.

 

3D cinema's, if they have any effect at all, would decrease the number of glasses wearers. The effect of books and computers is that you're looking at a flat depth for a long time. 3D movies have varied depth (what makes them 3D), so watching 3D instead of 2D movies actually decreases you're chance of needing glasses, and cataracts in later life. It might give you a headache if you're not used to it though.

 

Mhmm. Not really sure about this one. As I understand, one of the current problems with 3D tech is precisely the fact that you are not looking at varied depth (the image is always at the same distance and your eyes do not change focus in order to center on it) but are instead fed a slightly different image to each eye. If anything, current 3D makes you cross-eyed. So it's worse: not only do you strain your eyes, you also mess your depth perception.

 

Back on topic, I would also add HLPrincess to the list, and a few more that post when a video gets released.

Nah, you misunderstand how 3D works, and how our eyes focus. But yeah, don't want to derail the thread.

Here's guessing you got a random critical hit pointed at the head and it decided to count that as a headshot.

I can add you to the list of users with glasses, which has almost EVERYONE in it.

I get the feeling the increased eye strain of the internet has increased the number of glasses wearers over the past 10 or so years.

The number of cute girls is strangely high. I guess Ross Scott's sultry tones attract them.

Here's me, pretty recently:

You can add me to the list of members who is not a cute girl.
