And yet I still can’t get a heal.
Anyway. Goldrush! It’s chaos. It’s exhausting. I’ve played some small matches and some big matches and they all feel like big matches. On Goldrush, a 7v7 or 8v8 match feels like it’s got 32 people crammed into it. It’s just constant […]

Just for fun. Click for larger. I hope someday they give the spy a new knife as one of his unlockables, something a little slicker and sleeker. This knife seems kinda big and clunky if you really look at it.

What with the new TF2 content hitting sometime this coming week, I figured I better grind out a couple entries on the sadly neglected Living in Oblivion blog.  So, here’s one, and another will appear later this week.
Sorry for the huge delay.  I have no real excuse other than I just didn’t sit down and […]
