Hello everyone, I'm Mustard.
Been playing on your TF2 server on and off for last month or so, really love playing there. Your recruitment seems fairly thorough which I guess is good since everyone in TE seems pretty cool.
I haven't been in a TF2 clan since the game launched and having been around on a lot of different servers haven't really felt the need to try to join any except TE.
The last month or so I've been logging a lot of hours into TF2, though hadn't played before that in nearly 7 months. Been trying to get better at Pyro which seems to be going well. I also have been trying to get better with the Spy, to which my results have been mixed and half the time I end up going back to Pyro to help out the team.
This is getting long winded. Anyway, just figured I'd check you guys out, see what you're all about. :-D

Welcome to the forums!!!
Have seen you in game a lot. Keep up the practicing as Pyro and Spy and it will only get better and better.
-
Thanks man, just don't hate on me too bad for being a so-so spy.
-
no hate at all. Everything takes practice. I have over 200 hours in Heavy and over 200 into Sniper and 190 into Scout so I know how it can be to practice alot.

Mustard!!!!! Welcome! I have had you on my friends list for a few weeks now. It is always fun to play tf2 with you! Trust me when I tell you these guys have patients for new ppl. I started playing tf2 with absolutely no gaming experiance at all, and they had the best patients with me and helping me learn. I am glad to see you joined us in the forums, now maybe you would be interested in joining us in vent? :dontknow: We have a lot of fun there. If you need anything, feel free to ask. We are here to help. :-D Look forward to many more games.

Welcome Mustard,
Look forward to playin with ya in the near future

I would love to join you guys on vent, but it's gonna have to wait a little bit. I'm having sound card driver issues since upgrading to Win7 Pro and my mic comes out with with this terrible low end bass sound.
I'm doing a full upgrade to my PC in a few weeks, which will include a shiny new sound card. So for now, it's text only for me. Which I hate while playing cause it really cuts down on communication.

Welcome to the forums good Sir.

What kind of sound card are you getting? If you want I have a almost brand new Creative Labs Sound Blaster Fatality Titanium Professional etc... that I am looking to get rid of for a good price compared to what you would spend new in a store or online.

Well, to be honest, I'm really only looking for something fairly simple. Around this range:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102017
I mostly game using my headphones, so I'm not really looking for big sound. Right now I really just want something that works. What you have is really nice, it's going for $140 at retail, but I'm not looking to spend that much and it'd be a rip off for you to go down to what I'm willing to spend on a sound card.
I wouldn't be so cheap, but I also need a new GPU, RAM, Power Supply, and some new cooling fans.

Welcome to the forums! Don't worry, you need a good 40 hours with the spy to even start to understand it, it's the most difficult class to master with the highest skill ceiling

I would sell you my card for $50 plus shipping. I seriously have no use for it. That is even cheaper then the one that you posted.
-
Ok, well, $50 plus shipping sounds great. Can you wait a week or two though, I'm expecting a bonus check.

Yeah, I've got about 28 hours total into it, but much of that is from when the game first came out. It pretty well goes without saying that being a spy back then was considerably easier, since no one knew to look for you. Now it's a whole new ball game. But I do notice myself getting steadily better at it. Constantly learning new things, getting higher in ranks, becoming an actual help to me team, etc.

If you need any tips hit me up in Vent, I had over 200 hours as spy before I reset my stats, so let me know if you want me to teach you a few tricks.

VM has a little cart in the corner of our LAN where he sells PC upgrades and hot dogs.
