Now, y’see, if they’d just blur the line a bit between the classes in TF2 and their equivalent, then real life would be so very much better.
Imagine it being a US army requirement to make speeches about not-history to severed heads, with a straight face.
Or the world’s doctors getting the ability to make people invincible.

[...] Random Feed wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptI am an engineer, for real. That’s what I do for a living. When my friends see that engineer is my second most played class in TF2, they ask why I can not let go of engineering even in the fantasy world of gaming. The answer is, I am. Engineering has nothing to do with what you do in TF2, but to make my case I prepared a set of slides to introduce to you the real life engineer and compare him with his jolly TF2 counterpart. Introduction The TF2 engineer is a generally happy man. He works outd [...]

Epic article. Haunting real, bloody hilarious and super impressive Gmod work! Keep it up, man!

And yeah, the YouTube break thing is something I do a little too often as a writer.

“Whoo! I got a paragraph right, time for YouTube!”

Excellent post
“Yay, I got the red LED to blink! Time for a YouTube break!”, hilarious. As a PhD in embedded systems this comment cuts very close to the bone!

I wonder how many people are studying to become engineers, hoping their job will be to defend the intel and wrench spies.

Personally, I think it’d be awesome if Engi turrets had a ‘disable IFF’ feature.

So many juciy targets. Sitting there, waiting to pad my score.

That or somebody won’t shut up on the mic, both viable reasons for letting my turret waste them.

Thanks for first line Ledundead:

Hey look buddy, I’m an Engineer, and that means I sit in front of a computer.
Not one of those Macs, because that was designed with a social person in mind.
I work on a PC.
Because, how am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from nagging to me redo my professional designs?
The answer, do a test.
And if that don’t work, check my E-mail.
Like this E-mail regarding the fact that Ubercharged has posted a post designed by me.
Written by me.
And you best hope… Not pointed at you…

Epic comparison. I just wish there were a real-life soldier or medic… hell, even a Pyro’d do!
