Haven't updated in a while, but things have been going okay. I've been enjoying The Orange Box a ton. I completed Portal and HL2Ep2 pretty quickly, but TF2's giving me a ton of fun. I"m trying to become good at all the classes so I can fill in whatever needs the team has.
Unfortunately, most of the time I end up going Soldier. It's not that I hate Soldier. In fact, it's great fun. But it's kinda necessary to go Soldier when every single team is made of of Engineers, Spies, and Snipers. Yes, I understand that Spies and snipers can kill in one hit. But there's very little chance of them being able to capture points with any reasonable consistency. Soldier is durable and powerful.
I was in an awful 2fort game earlier today. I had to initiate and complete all three intel captures.
So, yeah. Great fun.
Here's a little screenshot guide I created for earning the Camera Shy achievement for Portal:
