Let's see how close we can get to this:

Establish a budget. Research before investing.

I don't remember if Gorilla learned his lesson that day. It's been a long time since then.

If you can get your hands on sashimi grade fish, chop up a cucumber and fish, mix it with some soy sauce and sesame oil.

Played on my brother's account first when I was burning out of Soldier Front. Then I started pestering him to use his account more often cause I wanted to play.

Got my own account when TF2 went on sale for $5 or $10. Spent my first 1000 hours bouncing around between pl_goldrush and pl_badwater.

Then I joined a community arena Badlands server, where I spent my next 1.2k hours, met Brandon (of Hostile Faction) and Shrugger. Brandon inspired a number of the players, including me, to seek out competitive play.

If you're not against emulators the GBA Fire Emblem games are a good starting point. Or Pokemon as others have said. Or even other older JRPGs on the GBA like Golden Sun.

So many last pushes

I've been slowly building up my tolerance for spicy foods over the last year. Spicy food is great, you just need to be able to handle the heat cause having too much will absolutely wreck any enjoyment from it.

Anyone who hasn't tried XO Sauce (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XO_sauce) needs to try it. Unless you're allergic to seafood.

Started with the first tf2lobby, then later joined a team with Shrugger and Gorilla. Shrugger moved on to greater things while I went back to pubbing/tf2lobby.

Finally got my start with Cosmic Brownie Swag in Season 12 or 13, then played two seasons and had to stop due to work, but still pugged with Server Depopulation Squad periodically.

Now i just pubstomp with my girlfriend.

Off topic, but does anyone have a list of ex-TF2 Overwatch streams besides Seagull/Clockworks' ?

On topic, my biggest gripe , aside from what was mentioned already, is Symmetra's weapon. I'd very much prefer a medium range lightning gun opposed to the current laser-leash she has. She just feels so useless outside of dropping extremely frail minisentries. Maybe I'm just bad though.

I'm terrible at gift giving, so I just told her to tell me what she wanted (L'Oreal skin cream or something) and I ordered it for her.

Also treated her and my grandma to Shanghainese dinner, but that was last week.

Drink some water, stretch.

Can someone explain what made CoD4 so great in comparison to say... MW2 (Which is the CoD game I spent most of my time with)?

M7 Thor.

Got it for $21 on discount

Go to a doctor ASAP.

This doesn't sound like CT. I would describe CT as acute pain when you use whatever muscles that are affected.

Stay away from activities that stress your wrist. Or if you have to, wear a wrist brace/support your wrist.
