Here's a little about me and how I became so awesome at tf2 :)

First of all, I haven't actually played 13,000 hours of the game, as I used to regularly keep the game open even when I wasn't playing. I'm probably maybe about 8,000 real hours.

Second, I am a serious player. I am cool with fun and hats (I got one), and Conga, and Pyros in swiiming pools, and Engies on lawnchairs... I laugh a lot when I play and appreciate the fun and community. But I love this game. I love the strategy, the tactics, the fast reaction, the cleverness of undermining an opposing teams position, the possibility of changing the metric depending on your class and skill and ability to see the bigger picture, but best of all, when a team just gets it. Combos, trust, backup support, depth of attack and defense, tenacity, care for the wounded (lol, medic!), and also importantly, not putting people down, either your team or your opponenents.

Third, I'll just say I have 3 people that influenced my gameplay in a way that is fundamental. Although there are many others who have added to this, and shown me many things, these 3 hold a special place as consistent masters to be emulated. Rambizzle, KennyKJC, Swim. A little about them:

1) Rambizzle - Always the top player and consummate gamer. Biz lifted myself and dozens of other players to higher levels just by... playing so awesome, almost never dying, and always being the player the team needed.

2) Kenny - R.I.P. beloved friend and player. Kenny was aggressive and inventive in ways that always changed the balance. He also left a fun legacy of videos worth watching.

3) Swim - Solidified all I had learned and thought into a more intelligent, focused, dedicated, attack and defend approach. I owe my name to Swim, because of a cool, weird, intangible incident: My first time on Fragmasters Lazytown, I start early, killin' bots as engi, then 'this guy' appears, ok, a regular, i'm new i'll go demo see what he has to offer. Somehow it was an enlightened experience, he was always just unreachable, and yet when he aggressed, we had to fall back. For some reason I though his name was Snow, and later went to look him up, couldn't find. hmmm, oh... It's Swim. Ok, I'll be Snow!!! hehe, that is how I got my name.

Fourth, well, nothing much left to say, except that's a little about me so you know. I'll see ya in game, and friend or foe, play to the hilt!!
