Temporary Solution

Seems restarting the system helps refresh the glitch with W, Tab, and Window Button. This tells me it's a software issue and not a hardware issue, thankfully! Using a laptop, so can't really replace a keyboard. I'll have to do a restart every now and then if it shows sign of getting worse just to refresh it.

Just glad it's a software thing. I did a anti-virus and anti-malware scan (samething I suppose, but wouldn't hurt to do both types) and nothing was picked up. Don't know if there is any virus or anything that would cause keys to not respond well, but had to be sure nonetheless. There must be something clogging up the command input or preventing it to reach the system to make an output or a response to it. I don't know and not sure how to check either.

For now gonna avoid FPS, Multi/Online, and any games that will only respond to WASD for a bit. Will have to avoid the TF2 server when it's on a competitive/objective map too. I wouldn't mind if it was just Tab and Window, but with W... it'll limit myself. I could change my key binds but will have to figure out to what exactly on some games, if at all possible anyway, and able to adapted to the new change too.

Update: Sigh... nevermind. They have already become barely responsive just minutes after the restart. However after closing a game like TF2 or minecraft, becomes more responsive again... really a software issue, just not sure WHAT exactly. Nonetheless, this is so... upsetting to me.

W and Tab! Why You No Work?!

Today was just horrible for me on TF2. My "W" and "Tab" button kept glitching out on me, becoming less responsive. I can't do anything when I can't move forward, but only side and back. Seems it wears off when I get off TF2, with a few glitches here and there for a while.

I hope it's just the game glitching up and not my keyboard. I don't want to save up for a new laptop already. Had this for maybe 2 years now. Very frustrating to play like this...

Just hope this gets resolved soon, otherwise I just won't be able to play TF2 anymore... and left with just... single player games. Can't really buy any new games, tight budget and how much profit I get is unknown, but possibly small amounts at best.

There is a MMO about to have a test session this weekend... see if my W key will respond more in there (no use for tab in game, but will do ctrl+tab often while playing it). Gonna try other games too, see if I get the same issue. If so, may have to look up for a new laptop, if not, take a break from TF2 for a few days or till there's an update. Just hope I'm not the only one having this issue.

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.
