I sent you a friend request. Also sent one to theory. I recognize that avatar picture anywhere.
It was a pretty fun weekend, despite my internet connection being wonky. It was like rediscovering a new game. I even took the tutorial before unleashing my reacquired newbieness on the servers. I was impressed with the addition of the Engineer moving his buildings around.
It was like falling off a bicycle. I picked up my old tactics pretty easily. Getting used to the new features, like the Pyro's air blast. I still suck as a Sniper. Some things never change.
Glad you enjoyed it! As I mentioned before, TF2 is still getting better and better. I only got hooked on the hat craziness for a couple of weeks, now I steer clear of it and I find I really enjoy the game so much more.
And yes, the Pyro's airblast is crazy... but really good in the right hands. While on defense, the Pyro and his airblast is really the only thing that a team has at its disposal to stop an uber rolling in against them.
TF2 ... so fun. If you ever see me on, hit me up. It's always more fun playing with people I know than just random people.
... Wife just bought the first set of diapers for our yet to be born baby. Man, those things are expensive!
True! They are. We have our second on the way (due in June), and I can attest to how life-changing (and budget changing) kids can be. However, it is really really good... wouldn't change it for the world.
Congrats, man!
Diapers are just the start!
Not to threadjack - but I'd strongly taking a wait and see approach with the clothing... particularly for the sizes < 6 months. If you end up with a fast growing kid, you could end up outgrowing the 6month clothes by the 3rd month. We ended up with clothes that the boy never wore because he grew so damn fast. Make sure you have enough for a full laundry cycle (remember ~2-3 outfits a day and 1 more layer of clothing than you would wear), but anything more than that is probably wasteful. Yes, the kids clothes are cheaper than yours, but if he only wears it once before he outgrows it....
Anyway, congrats. Plus, you won't have time for games anyway.
^^^ what he said, except for the last line.
I have found plenty of time for games. The first few months are the exception... it takes your body a few months to get used to the sleep deprivation.
But after that, most infants (and toddlers) are content to sit on your lap while you play a game. (This is true for IRL games... gaming on the computer is tougher to pull off.) And when they're old enough to be bored by that, they are generally old enough to start gaming (albeit extremely simple games).
Just my thoughts... YMMV.
