    My wife was in law school in 2007 and I needed to get her a change of scenery cause she was studying 70 hours a day. I rented a trashy little house on a canal in Galveston, TX, grabbed my laptop to bring along, and bought a copy of The Orange Box to keep me busy while she studied and looked out the window at something different.

    Years later, when I hit 6k hours played in TF2, I decided it was time to do something else.

    My son’s most played game in his replay this year was TF2 and told me a few weeks ago he thinks he could beat me. I haven’t played in years.

    Son, Imma wreck your shit.

    also i played a lot of fantasy life this year

        This has happened to me recently with Smash Bros and my son. He asked me to play recently and I haven’t played in about a year so I got handled pretty badly.

        He obviously has way more time to play than I do but I’ve got about 20 years of experience on him, so the next day we played again and it was a much better set of matches for me. The muscles woke up, I need to start practicing more.

          The last time I played (probably 3 or 4 years ago), I had my brother pocket medic for me in the same physical room so I could bark orders at him. He’d never played, but he’s a good fps player. My first life on a pub server I went as a heavy and got a 22 kill streak. We’re a family of highly competent shit talkers and boy, my brother didn’t have shit to say.
