Hi. I'm Scott, and I'm addicted to Team Fortress 2.
"Hi, Sc- Wait. This is an actual support group."
It started on June 25th, 2011. The game had long since gone free-to-play. What did I have to lose, right? *chuckles* Almost funny, now.
"Scott, do you understand what this is?"
I was awful when I started. That should have been the end of it. I should have been frusturated, but I was a stubborn kid. I had to keep going. I tried to get better every day.
I did.
Now I've got a strange Rocket Launcher with over 2000 kills on it, and I'm working on getting strange versions of the loadouts for every class. I spend all my time either playing TF2, or reading about it on the internet. I've made friends with the regulars on a server; I've become one of them.
"Sir, are you an alcoholic?"
*single tear rolls down cheek* And how am I supporting this addiction? KEYS! Oh, god, keys. I've spent at least $60 on keys in this game. This free game. It takes my time, and my money. I have a problem. I HAVE A PROBLEM.
"I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
I have almost 400 hours in the game, now. I've been playing for a little over a year, and I've put so much time into it. I spent $900 on a new computer. For playing the latest triple-A titles? For, I don't know, bit mining? No. For this god damned game. I had holes drilled through the walls of my house, because wireless internet isn't enough. Why? FOR THIS FUCKING GAME. *breaks down into tears*
"Security?"
*composes self* I met my Internet Girlfriend through TF2. (Not my regular girlfriend, that position is still available.) We've been together for about a month now. Mottguy is the only light that TF2 has given me in my life. My dark, soulless existence, map after map, killstreaks and dominations, rtving away from 2fort... This is my life.
Wait, why are there guards? No, stop! Don't touch me! Please! I have a problem! I HAVE A PROBLEM!
We're from reddit. We like ponies and Valve games. Mostly TF2.

Play this game when you're sad. I'm not going to tell you anything about it except that it takes about 45 minutes to play and it /will/ make you happy. Don't watch trailers, don't read reviews. The game is 100% exploration, and learning about it will cheapen the experience. It really is more of an experience than a game, but it's got so much pure, concentrated happy that I can't recommend it enough. It's $10 and I promise you'll love it.
This game is just too much fun. Rougelike difficulty, emphasis on micromanagement, exciting battles... The game takes place in /space/, people. Buy this game.
