    Spychecking as a pyro is more than nice, it's one of your primary duties. Light up everyone, just for a second, to see if they catch. If you have several engies on your team or are playing CTF, you might think of just hanging around the intel room with the engies and being their best buddy. It's a good way to win friends and to keep pesky spies at bay.

    While practicing your airblast abilities as a pyro, also take some time to practice rocket jumping as a soldier. Pyros who can airblast are a giant pain, but they seldom look up. ;)  It's also worth learning the secrets of the stickybomb jump, but I find that much harder to master than rocket jumping.

    And, y'know, if you're good enough at airblasting, you can practice your rocket jumping with Pyro as well.

    It's the exact opposite for me. I find Sticky Jumping way easier compaired to Rocket jumping :lol 

    Also I am still looking for those Strange Weapons, tell me if you have them.

    You definitely should. I would've ran out of space a couple of days ago if I hadn't upgraded my account. Not to mention you get to craft better stuff, you can trade, and you even get a free hat with your first purchase :D ! I recommend either a starter pack (get a bunch of useful stuff), or a cheap item that you could use anyway, like what I did for a Tribalman's Shiv. Hopefully, though, unlike me you won't get the exact same item as a drop two items later :redface2: .


    Oh, yeah, and I'll just go ahead and leave this here: TF2 Backpack - saf7

    if it's not equipped, then chances are good that I don't need it, and I'll take anything that I don't have yet (except crates- I have no plans to buy any keys, and that's not changing anytime soon).

    I usually use the spy when there are alot of turrets blocking my team, or when there is one guy destroying my team(though he usually kills me while im a spy)

    Aim, my friend. Aim ;) 

    Try practicing with some bots in your own lobbies.

    I kinda want the Soda Popper and Desc. Tag (the Tag more-so)
    my backpack link's around here somewhere


    Ran into what was either complete moron, or a griefing medic last night. Payload, on Basin (I think) anyway, we get Sentry/Demo trapped in our Spawn. I switch to Heavy and sit on the locker, firing non-stop as teammates rush out and get killed. He reaches 100% Uber (with default medigun) so I stop firing and waddle to the door, revved up. Almost the EXACT instant I cause the door to open, he starts healing someone else.....

    I'll trade you for a Degreaser and a Sydney Sleeper.

    EDIT: Or the Bazaar Bargain. I'd be willing to trade both for that.

    Oh god the new Cow Mangler is so OP. Also seems to crash servers do how unoptimized those particle effects are.

    Also I've got a good bit to trade.

    I'm working on getting a backpack expander to clean up the mess on the first two pages of tillertime. I'm looking for a bonk boy hat right now and any new weapon I don't have. I'm willing to help some of you new guys too if you need older weapons.

    Cool. So... how exactly does trading work? :lol  In the meantime, I sent you a friend invite (speaking of, here's my Steam profile so anyone can send me an invite if they want: Steam Community :: ID :: saf7).

    @Tiller: I know what you mean about the Cow Mangler. It's like one day, everything's normal, and the next there are laser blasts everywhere!

    Steam STILL won't let me register my account! What am I doing wrong? I have a strong password, my username is available, yet when I do the "verify your humanity" thing with the random numbers and letters, I get the same message: "Your account creation request failed, please try again later."

    :banghead:  Don't tell me I have to install Steam first before I make my account.

    It used to give me that message when I was registering, I forgot how I fixed it. Installing steam is worth a shot.

    Yeah I've never heard of registration problems in steam before. Just try installing the client first and use the registration there. It's lightweight. Nothing evil going on.

    I actually have a stout shako that I would trade for two refined. That is when I get back from vacation. Though I might have to change my avatar.....
