WELCOME, CHILDRENS

Huh, I think this is my first Sept 1 since moving to MA when I've lived deep in a residential block, instead of on a wide throughway. So many U-Hauls!

NEED TO BE CLEAN AGAIN

---

Oh snap my parents are going to be visiting this weekend. I'm starting to wish I was less jokey in my half-jokey mutterings to put off further contact with them until after the election. Damn.

FIAH! FIAH!

I finally played a little bit of TF2 via XBox Live. It's fun! I took ahkond's advice and stuck to the newbie-friendly Heavy and Pyro classes, and then just wandered around frying dudes, taking short breaks when suggested. (Suggestions usually being implemented as headshots.)

You know a game with this structure is successful when getting killed doesn't make you say "dammit" but "ooh, I wanna try that!" (You can see who killed you, where they were, and how they did it.) See also "Street Fighter 2", back in the heady days of Sputnik and Gagarin.

Sorry I can't play with you PC peoples...
