I'd be down for that NYC meetup that was talked about.

Also if for whatever reason you change your mind and need to stay in NJ, you could stay at my place worst comes to worst, a lot of people stay over here including bands that tour in the area.

I never really argued that HL is a better or more skilled gametype at all, although I do agree with your analysis. I just think it's amusing how much you've assumed about my personality. I've played multiple seasons of ESEA by now and have been actively grinding to get better at scout (not that I or anyone else should really expect you to keep up with such things).
I never even was actively arguing any of these things really, all I was doing was poking fun at you being upset about losing a pug to someone who was formerly an HL main like myself. I think a lot of the TF2 people I've played with can vouch for me that I tell people I am bad far more often than I say I'm good so I have no idea where you got the impression that I have some huge ego to think I am better than you at TF2. I think after about a season of having regular scrims against you in HL, the only thing I've seen you say to my team was saying "Why do Open Players talk shit?", in response to something that Trippa said.

you should probably go to bed before this somehow gets even more out of hand.

also, what is your opinion on highlander idiots???

it's funny because literally later that pug he called me a highlander idiot

not that he's wrong tho

I would've never imagined how stubborn people could be over just a title, especially considering how overwhelmingly people are asking for it.

The comedic timing of that bottle kill was perfect

b4nny: showstopper, I need to go to sleep so I need you to play for me okay

I have to say, for a (according to you) drunk person you still post fairly readable and typo-free posts. Pretty impressive honestly

When i'm making comms I can't remember any names of any spot on the map in the heat of the moment, so my location comms are incredibly vague and consist of: right, left, upper, lower, behind you, in our spawn, alone please kill him, and choke, which could be anywhere honestly. I've also been mixing up sewer and IT calls on process for over 3 years now.

If I am ever in a pug with you and you hear me say where someone is, do not listen I am not to be trusted.

are you actually posting prank youtube videos as (anecdotal) evidence? As a serious attempt? I cannot believe anyone could actually be that dense, you must be trolling.

Both of those two examples are pretty extreme, and honestly they're not too far off from other popular activities. Cigarettes are incredibly harmful both to you and the people around you, yet those are pretty socially acceptable. Chinese foot binding was extremely painful, and popular for a long amount of time. It's not like engaging in self-destructive behaviors in uncommon in the slightest, just that some are weirder and some are socially acceptable. I don't see how it's unfair to them if they are truly happy and are not affecting others. The worst I could think of them affecting others is medical bills being thrust onto the state medical system, in either case.

yeah, I didn't really mean to direct that towards you or your idea, just a gripe of mine and splenda triggered it

listen to kev, the man knows what he is talking about. Also, try

Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time

Sweet Trip - You Will Never Know Why

Sweet Trip's first album is by far my favorite (in my top 4), but it's a strange mix between shoegaze and glitch. Their second album is far more standard shoegaze. Off the top of my head Whirr, Lush, and The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa are all pretty good bands as well.

ugh, i can't stand fake sugar. i'm not a tea guy but my mom puts fake sugar in her iced tea and I just can't understand it. you can taste that it's different than real sugar in a bad way imo

What is checkers/rally's? I live in NJ and i've never seen one in my life
