I would recommend Pyro or Scout (I started out with Pyro). The flamethrower is a pretty good weapon if you want to annoy/terrorize the opposing team plus you can help your team mates with the airblast (it extinguishes burning team mates). If you have an ok aim, Scout is also pretty good. You'll...

1.) What is your favorite and least favorite class and why? I really love playing Medic, especially in teams that have competent players & good class spread. Medics are always needed and I always feel like I'm doing something useful when I'm playing a Medic. I also like Pyro, Scout and Engi...

I wouldn't call Tumblr a community, just like I wouldn't call Facebook a community.

Tumblr has about 193 million blogs. This con had about 500 guests. The con was organized by a handful of tumblr users. I think she is saying that it's pretty over the top to drag all tumblr users into this mess.

Nope. Tumblr staff was in no way involved with the con. http://dashcon.tumblr.com/private/43394344053/tumblr_mif09kriTU1re48nh

Yeah, I know what you mean. The whole thing sounds absurd. It makes a bit more sense if you consider that a lot of the people involved organizing the event were apparently teens and the two co-owners of the DashCon LLP were a 32-year-old novelist (or "novelist") and a 20-year-old uni student. It...

The ball pit is hilarious! :D Imagine spending 60+ dollars on your ticket, expecting to see the Welcome to Night Vale crew and being offered an extra hour in the ball pit after WtNV canceled their performance. Totally worth it? Money well spent! EDIT: I just want to point out that this wasn't...

I wish I was kidding. Granted, it doesn't look like the 13-year-old had any major role in organizing the con. The kid was part of one of the committees that were responsible for funding the con/organizing the panels etc. If you are curious about what kind of clusterfuck the organization of the...

Well, I did some googling and apparently a lot of the people organizing the con were teenagers (the youngest was apparently 13 years old). So I'm not really surprised that the con was such a flop. Here's a photo of the ball pit they had for the con:

FYI, the article he talks about ("Should killing female gamers in online games be considered rape?") is a fake one. Here is a reddit thread about it http://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrInAction/comments/1e3av1/should_killing_female_gamers_in_online_games_be/ and 4chan has also made a bunch of...

I think calling this a "war" is pretty over the top. I haven't seen any signs of this war and none of the people I follow have complained about it. Tumblr has about 193 million blogs and this "war" has likely impacted only a minuscule amount of those blogs. This is high school-level petty drama.

Yeah, I feel bad for Brazil. This is a horrid start for a game and I don't have much hope for the rest of the game. I hope it doesn't get too ugly :/

I've never seen a game like this. I hope Brazil manages to re-group before their next game and I hope there won't be any riots/violence after this game. Geez... 7-0 EDIT: 7-1

What the hell Brazil. I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is insane :O Still 60mins to go and Germany leads with 4-0. EDIT: And 2mins later it's 5-0. :O I can't even...

I get why you might feel like that. I was a bit weirded out by the amount of Ubisoft-gender threads Escapist had a week ago. It can get overwhelming. I think it's just a good idea to take a breather when you start feeling overwhelmed by those articles. Take a step back and focus on articles/news...
