I’ve been playing Team Fortress 2 with some guys from work. It’s a pretty fun game. It differs from others in the genre in some small but key ways – there are 9 different guys, each with different abilities and weapons. I’ve found I like playing the Doctor
I had a wondrous epiphany. I don’t normally excel at these games, but I found myself at the top of the score board on sunday night. It was the beer.
I was killing those 13 year old internet dweebs! That combined with owning my own car, having more than $4, and being able to stay out as late as i want.

As you can see the delay from the beerĀ cancels out my normal reaction delays. This makes me faster, and more accurate.
I even had two flag returns as a medic.
On another note, I used to play the first Team Fortress at work as well. It was awesome. Must check out Team Fortress 2, then.
@Frank: Buy it!
kb – now thats the best bit of science/analysis I have ever seen. obviously there is some additional training I need to do to keep up with you…
