maybe if it goes back down and stays down valve might feel obligated to put some sort of matchmaking in the actual game

probably not, but i can dream

hahahaahahhahatsrfdcgjvhkbjl'

Regardless of the shady shit I think it's important for there to be a hub channel for casting matches (not necessarily lan). If people don't like eXtv maybe make a teamfortress.tv twitch channel of some sort that casters could use to promote the tf2 scene, this site, and community as a whole. It also would become a better promotion for the individual streamers who cast these matches as the following for something like this would grow pretty quick. This is kind of what Vanilla.tv does and it works.

ESPORTZ

get a nice pair of earbuds for like 40 bucks and save up for a nice pair of headphones

pls make server

I'll send invites tomorrow to people based on whether or not they are on the tf.tv stream list. AFAIK all you need to do is stream comp TF2 (even if it's just lobbies) on a somewhat consistent basis and you'll make it on the site. You wont need to message me about it. Hopefully that makes it easier on everyone while still being efficient.

Also, I'll try fixing up the page. I agree it doesn't look as good as it should.

i'm so bored in the library at school pls help

listen to whatever you want on your stream, as long as it isn't really polarizing music i really don't think people will mind

as for finding new music to listen to, you can use last.fm, find music forums/blogs on genres you're interested in, the /mu/ sharethreads are usually pretty neat, and some parts of reddit like listentothis are alright sometimes as well

i don't like pandora because it lacks depth, but it can't be a bad thing if you're just getting started

It looks really good for people who have never used a computer before but also have used a smartphone before. Not sure how big that demographic is!

yeah
