Whatever I like

So I've been going through all my have finished blog post drafts, tidying them up a bit and publishing them. I've been doing it for a while now and was getting pretty tired of it, but I remembered I have a post where I could write whatever I wanted, so here it is.

The Spy
Team Fortress 2 is a great game. I like it. There's a competitive scene where people take it more seriously, focus on one class (character with certain ability/weapon set), and play against others in highly skilled and coordinated games. My main class is the spy, who can temporarily go invisible and achieve an instant kill backstab from behind. In competitive my job it to focus on priority targets to create an advantage for my team that can be capitalized on, and I usually die as soon as I get my pick. Recently my team made it to one of the highest divisions. We played well and received medals. Even more recently, though, my team was forced to disband after a player left and we had trouble finding a replacement. The next season doesn't begin until late January, and I plan on playing backup for an even higher division. Until then I'll be taking a bit of a break for finals and the holidays. In general, competitive gaming is not taken too seriously or just isn't very well known. While traditional sports are impressive for the athleticism, competitive gaming is impressive for skills like communication and formulating plans quickly.

PS. Sorry  ll the posts are horribly out of order now. Since I'm doing this by order of drafts and not from the syllabus I don't really know the dates to put on them, but I've started naming them better, so that should help.
