Wow, shocked to see so many people in this situation.

I've been hit with 1 suicide, a major death, and almost a 2nd.

My first kiss killed herself about a year ago in highschool, it was so surreal, feeling that someone id been that close to was no longer around.

My best friends brother wound up getting killed by a drunk driver, which, while not a suicide rocked me incredibly hard, I was with my best friend when he got called by his parents. I think we just talked for an hour before he wound up going to his parents. He couldn't even fathom it, he was pissed, depressed, stunned, and seeing him like that actually saved me.

I was going to commit suicide this past summer, my life had become a real shit hole, didn't see a way out. A few things stopped me though, remembering how I felt and how my friend felt, I couldn't do that to my friends and family. Then there was Michael Landsberg's twitter. For those of you not familiar with them, he's a tv host up here in Canada who has depression, and he's dedicated his twitter to talking about his experience, and sharing others as well, little things like saying what he is on an /10 scale each day and asking his followers what they are. Two things stuck out to me, #SickNotWeak and about how suicide isn't a solution, it guarantees life won't get better. Managed to talk myself out of it, and into getting help.

If anyone wants to talk, either in mumble or on steam, add me:

I fucking love Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, guys a legend, shame he's gone way too soon.

Here's the rolling stone story

One more note on skins, if they force skins, could they be looking to implement team skins for matchmaking? Similar to stickers in CS? Why bother adding them if 90% of the game would disable them, forcing it expands the userbase

this is how you know who will win the match, if rain bets on them, they will lose.

Played hockey with 4lphalfa who had heard about comp tf2, he talked me into playing a 6s class since he didnt think we'd be able to find 9 friends to make a team with. Two of my friends pussied out of comp, so we found 2 people off UGC forums (Hi Fatswimdude) and made an Iron team.

So fuck you 4lphalfa for taking me from 200 hours in tf2 to a couple thousand in just over 2 years.I had a life before you!!!

I'm thankful thanksgiving was a month ago.
