Doing All the Work

Do you ever get those moments where it feels like you're doing all the work for your team whether it's in gaming, business, event, etc.? I get those too when I'm on a poor stacked team of players in TF2. It's very frustrating.

I know it's just a game and all... but I don't like to lose by getting bulldozed. If the round was more evenly matched and tense, I wouldn't mind if we lose or not. I don't want it too easy either. I like a challenge, but not an impossible one at least.

If  I see too many experience and/or hardcore players in the server, depending on how the teams are laid out, I may or may not join in the game but spectate a bit. Easy matches bore me (along with lack of players) and highly difficult matches will just frustrate me to no end.

I STILL Don't Understand People

Throughout my life there's one thing I can never understand: People. Try to be nice and fun, it gets ruin. Try to fight back, I get to be marked as the bad guy instead. Others say they know me, yet I somehow can't know them. It always feels like I'm their main target to pick on. I do the best I can, yet rarely get any help or support, and usually get ganged up on. Rarely get any compliments and tips/advice too. It's almost as if people want me to be just a failure in life and everything around it.

At times it feels like I'm the only sane person out of a few. They have their fun and I will respect that as long as they respect my fun. Never works out for me, oh no. Starting to question some of the friends I have right now... always getting used for entertainment that causes me to get frustrated in the end. They know it, they do it, they get it. Always, one way or another, they always get their laugh of it, and with me wanting to cut their throats with a rusty knife.

...Part of me just wants to go on a killing spree in many locations for certain people... at least they won't be able to bother me anymore...

Stereotypical Hardcore Players

When it comes to playing games that allow co-op, multi, and mmo playing options, you tend to run into hardcore gamers. Personal definition is: players who make things intense for others and may ruin the fun of the game for others. They may also have an attitude to constantly put down new/low experience players to the game. May also have a trait of showing off and rubbing in that they're great, or in some cases look better, in the game.

Harassment and Bullying

Just recently I was getting harassed and bullied by two players on a TF2 server I normally go to. (It has god mode on maps that don't have an objective, i.e. "dm", or death match, maps. Get god mode when you spawn, lose it when you attack or alt attack; shouldn't taunt kill in god mode either.)

It all started on the map mlp_hearths_warming_cabinv2. A blue heavy was waiting outside of red spawn, on top of a fire place, spinning his mini-gun, awaiting anyone to leave though that doorway to kill them. (There is another doorway where players can exit and enter, but that's not the point). Basically spawn camping, which is not allowed on certain type of maps. I would just air blast the heavy off, causing him to be forced down to a table (part of the map, also where the another doorway leads to) and just repeat. He would constantly say "white knight", whatever that was suppose to mean, when I air blasted him off from our spawn. The blue heavy is fully aware of the rules, but kept on doing it anyway.

Bamboozlers: Panda Carrier

This was the hardest wooden puzzle I have ever done in my life. The Bamboozlers range: Panda Carrier (Level 5 difficulty, 8 being top) by Professor Puzzle (the site is down for unknown reason).

I got this for Christmas by my parents, knowing that I like to solve puzzles (except crosswords or anything that requires high knowledge of many things, I'll never be able to solve those). I found it interesting it was made from Bamboo, containing facts about Bamboo.

When my sister's family was over Christmas night for a little gift exchange, I was slowly taking the puzzle apart. Trying to keep in mind how it was assembled in the process (aka reverse engineering). Apparently in the early stages of taking it apart, it basically collapsed on me.
