How is everyone doing today? Awww, come on it can't be that bad, can it? Maybe it'll cheer you hear about a scaled down Uwe Boll? Oh you mean you willingly saw that, I'm sorry. Well did you hear that the former City of Heroes developers might handle Star Trek Online? Still nothing, eh? Well if Nick's crack game journalism doesn't do it, I give up.

Heh. I need 12 TF2 players for tomorrow night, 9PM Eastern. Just for a little revenge match scrimmage.

Maps are Granary and Well. The other party wants to scrimmage us regularly, this isn't a one time thing.

For this one, I'm captain, and I'll pick the team since we have about 24 hours notice. I'm going to primarily pick players that I've played with on my TF2 server over the past few months and I have some players already in mind. If I don't know who you are don't get offended if you don't get picked.

      Yes, an omission in my list above is scout - which those two maps are scout-friendly. I've seen the above players as scouts so you can be sure that will be covered as well.
