Surfing in TF2 – Vusys sighting

Team Fortress 2 is a popular first person shooter that's more fast paced than a rabbit with it's tail nipped off. What the hell did I just say?

I'm sure most of you have heard of it but it's based around classes, so the scout is fast and has shotguns, the heavy is slow and uses a big minigun (lol big mini eh), the pyro uses a flamethrower, etcetera.

However one thing you can do in this game is if you edit one of the server commands, you can make it so when you ride on slanted objects, you move down them like you are surfing! or skiing. Or something similar to that.

This originated in CounterStrike: Source, I don't know how the flipping hell people figured it out but they did. They figured out ramps, jumps, and more.

3 years later, TF2, which is based on the same engine, can do the same thing, so now we can go flying around on ramps.
It's really fun and I do it insanely now. I just started yesterday and I'm really crappy at it, but I mean improvement happens. I'm getting lots better at it.

The point of this blog is because I saw a character named Vusys join the server!

First I was like 'dang, no way that's Vusys." I pretty much didn't even bother to ask. then I kept wondering and got more and more curious so I said "Vusys, where did you get your name".

I was too lazy to google so I thought it might be a name that is used by more than one person. Little did I know it's NOT!

Anyway, he left the server without answering and just a few minutes ago I used the 'players you played with recently' tab on steam to find his profile. I clicked it and it wouldn't let me access it except for a link. I clicked it and it linked me to his blog which I comment on and read a lot :).

Anyway that was just a really strange coinkidink that happened to me. I don't think Vusys knows me by this name but I have interacted with him before (as we are both atheists and I was a big discusser on the atheist profil3 group before it got FRICKED UP by mrbasil).

I started 2 paragraph breaks with 'anyway' so I'm not going to let myself do that again – the point is that I saw Vusys and now I'm happy about it.

Thanks for reading my 2nd blog
truth

PS I sent him a buddy request but now I regret it since he doesn't know who this is. 🙁

Isn't it weird when someone who is decently popular or well known like vusys seems like someone you know, but then you realize he wouldn't really know you at all?

I read his blog and I followed his posts when he was on basil but I never REALLY directly interacted with him. I think I'm buddies with him on profil3 but that means about 0.
