Ivan Driveway
Thanks Gray! I'm about 4 months out from when I got injured and the ankle still feels a bit stiff. While that's not ideal, I remind myself of the following: 1. I still have several months before Worlds competition begins. As long as I don't reinjure myself, that's extra time for the ankle to heal...
4 Shreds in January
Happy to report I got in a proper shred yesterday. The weather was doing its typical wild fluctuations, but I got lucky with my timing and managed an outdoor shred during the 1 hour of good weather we got. I tried out a new spot on my driveway. Most of my driveway is on a steep incline, but there...
New Shoes, Arctic Winds
Tried to play today, but the weather turned on me bad. In the 10 minutes it took me to get to my shred site we went from t-shirt weather to icy winds, and I couldn't warm up even with long sleeves and gloves. I couldn't even get through a warm up it was so cold. Very frustrating. On one hand I want ...

Subs
I haven't given up on making videos yet, which I take as a small victory. I've also slowly (glacially) started building up a community of subscribers. I'm up to 11 now, which is a piddly amount but still is motivating. I don't have a set goal for my channel yet, but it'd be neat to hit 100 subs in m...
Short, medium, long term good news
Pleased to report good news developments in the short, medium, and long run. Short Term good news: I got in a shred on Saturday. Weather was borderline good when I started, with sun and temps in the low 50s. Then the sun ducked behind a cloud, temps dropped to the 30s, and I legit thought it migh...

Worlds 2021 is Online
IFPA newsletter came out today, basically making it official:
Not surprising news, but nice to have it be semi-official now.

Hacky 2021
Hacky new year Modified! I'm happy to report I've played twice in the past few weeks. That doesn't sound like a lot, but considering I basically sat out October through December with an injury that counts as progress. My left ankle feels mostly healed. Sometimes it feels a little weird during warmup...

Dank Derek Bag
been diggin’ the newest iterations of bags I’ve been doing. With most of the final tweaks worked out. Me too. I've only had two sessions with the bag you sent me, but it's played fantastic in both. Zero break in, stalls well, sets true. Best bag of yours that I've played with so far. Thanks again f...

It's gotta be online again
There's not really much chance for a real life gathering - But yes, online Worlds is the most likely scenario and I would say that is close to certain. Yeah, if there's no bid currently (end of January) I'd be shocked if anybody could pull off the logistics of securing an in-person venue in time fo...

Re: Canberra, Australia via SCL - Daniel Boyle
Adrian Dick would have to be in the list for NZ, probably number 3. Good call. Liam reached a higher absolute level of play than Adrian, but for the time periods they were active Adrian was closer to the top. That is, Adrian in the late 90s was likely a top 20 shredder in the World, while Liam in t...

Still trying!
My experiment in being a TF2 YouTuber is...progressing. There's a bit of an aimbot/cheater crisis lately, which has made it very hard to get good footage. Once I do get good footage, it's also still a challenge to make decent looking/sounding videos. I need to toy with the settings more, as the visu...

Re: Canberra, Australia via SCL - Daniel Boyle
. Could maybe start with a country thing. I might even do that on Twitter in the coming weeks, make a thread for great players from x country. Then you could have lists of any videos they've been in, good tournament results. I've always got to the thinking point and realised it would be a really me...

Re: NYJ 2021 (online)
I look forward to seeing the entries! I was really hoping I could submit something, but injury and time and weather did not allow. I'm glad to see these events still occurring virtually. Hopefully they can get back to being in-person by next year.

New Year TF2 Resolution
Content creation has been a fun challenge for sure. It's interesting because it puts pressure on you to play well, and then you have to make the commentary interesting on top of that. The good news is that I'm still trying, and I'm still learning a lot. Understanding that I suck at it now, but ca...

I'm a TF2ber now
Chain of events: :arrow: I sold a bunch of crap on Steam Market, including a hat that netted me $600 :arrow: I soon realized I could never spend all my Steam wallet, even after getting every game I wanted and every TF2 hat. :arrow: On black Friday I got a new laptop, which made it super easy to capt...

D'Angelo?!?
On draft night Tu Vu paid $30 for D'Angelo Russell. It seemed high to me but not crazy. DAR had a rough start to the year, but I was still shocked to see Tu dropped him to the waiver! I swooped in and got him for nothing. The way I see it, there's no way he stays this bad all year, and even if he do...
hacky new year!
Hacky new year Modified! The big news for me is that I got in my first session in almost 3 months: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbDNpYCrQy4 It was my first session since turning my ankle in October. While my body felt super-weird throughout, mentally it felt great to play again. Most importantl...
