That's great you got into TF2 Alex, that's one of my favorites. I love the classes, especially the Engineer and the Scout. When I play capture the flag I start as a Scout and try to rush to get the intelligence before people can settle in and put up sentries. Once people have set up defenses I usually switch to Engineer as long as there's people on the team who are doing the offense. However, sometimes I end up on teams where EVERYBODY wants to play defense so I end up having to be an offense dude like a spy or soldier lol.
Late March Update.

I was planning to do this after BaD ended, but then I got lazy. Then I was planning to do this after I went on a trip to Amsterdam (spoilers: it was great), but then I got lazy. To finish it up, I was even going to write it last week, but you know, lazy.
Just to make a small summary of some things that happened:
- Like I mentioned above, I went to Amsterdam from the 6th to the 8th of March. It was a trip from the Rotary club (the organization of my exchange program) and we mosly walked and visited museums, but it was great. I liked the architecture of the city and I found curious the copious amount of bicycles (I joked that bicycles are more dangerous than cars in Amsterdam). The things I liked the most were visiting the house of Anne Frank and the boat trip through the canals. Not sure if i'm going to post images here.
- Somewhere around March, I went to see Saving Mr Banks, the movie about the creation of Mary Poppins. It was good. Nothing special and it's probably inacuarate historicaly, but it was still worth looking at, has some good moments, good acting and it isn't that sentimental.
Now, i've been having some Steam activity. I bought Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Mass Effect and Hotline Miami recently and I regreted not buying the GTA collection when it was on promotion.
I only played PoP once, but it's working fine. One of the things that I was always bad at the game on the original Xbox was wall jumping, so much that I never managed to even reach the dagger, AT THE FIRST AREA OF THE GAME. The good thing is that it only took about three tries before I managed to do wall jumping and finally beat a part that has always haunted me. I exorcised a demon if you would call it that.
Mass Effect however won't start. The game seems to match the specs of my computer, but just as I boost the game, it returns to the Steam library. I looked at the Steam support and the only possible problem is that my anti-virus Norton won't allow start the game.... you know, I posted in Tumblr that Norton reminds of Fi from Skyward Sword; necesary for your protection, but doesn't stop interrupting you and being a nuisance for your progress. Seriously, Fuck You Norton!
Oh well, atleast Hotline Miami is working and i've been having a good time with it. It's hard, but it feels like Super Meat Boy in that it is still fair. I've gone very safe into some missions, but I think once I get used to the game I can start rampaging. Music is excellent too.
Okay, who's the idiot that touched Heavy's gun? (artwork found here)
I had oficially become a Team Fortress 2 fan.
I was always interested in playing the game due to the asthetics, the Meet the Team videos and the fan works i've always seen around the internet. My start was last year, but I only played 50 minutes because I didn't like the quality on my desktop computer. Even with my new laptop, I wanted to wait till I had an urge to play it and lo and behold, I suddenly had a trigger happy hunger. I installed the game again, went to the training and once I had some practice with the bots, I started playing multiplayer.
What can I say, the game is VERY fun. Something I quite like is how the classes complement each other and feel balanced, meaning that for the most part, there's not much camping. I try using every class now and then, but I mostly select Scout, Pyron or Sniper since those are the ones I've dominated.
Anyway, that's all for today. Tomorrow I plan to post some things I bought on this month, so look forward to that.
