Over the weekend and Monday I had good eventful days. Made a bank account (needed mom's assistance with it), able to cash in my checks that were pilling up since late October, Jazz Service at the church, Grandma's "Music Salon" which was her (postponed, due to recent death of Grandpa) birthday celebration, and then game night. Eventful good days and happy moments. Tuesday was a calm/lazy day, well needed after the weekend + Monday events. Wednesday, however, was just bad for me.
I haven't logged into the Tf2 server since last Saturday, because of so much that happened over the weekend and Monday. Tuesday I just didn't bother. Wednesday, was just stressful.
I go into the server, they're in a mode that I'm not too fond of, Arena. Especially when it has plenty of hardcore players in it. Just wouldn't be fun to me, especially with a certain few that enjoys making never ending sarcastic remarks and put downs, thinking they're just being funny when they're getting personal with those comments.

Busy Weekend Ahead
Saturday: Going to the bank to make a checking account, will be accompanied by Mom in case anything unexpected or complications happen. Last time I went to the bank in October I wasn't expecting a cash-in fee on my checks, despite it said I could cash them at that certain bank (making a checking account with a different bank) which Mom said there wouldn't charge a fee. So had my checks since late October pilling up. Finally get a good chance to cash them in without facing any fees. Need the money for an insurance I'll need to renew very soon. After that be going to a Jazz Service Rehearsal.
Sunday: Jazz Service Sunday (Monthly event), which is from 10:30am to 12:00pm, staying longer for brunch and putting stuff away. Maybe time to rest before celebrating Grandma's 80's b-day celebration (was postponed due to the recent death of Grandpa, had a b-day party but was very simple at that time.) which starts at 2pm. There's also game night from 3pm to 8pm, but don't know how long I'll be staying and when I'll arrive. Just hope they save some soda and chips for me in case I'm hungry!
For both weekends, Antilia has a test session for both days. Sadly I may have to miss most of it and only be on in the afternoon area for both days (more so on Saturday.) Don't know if it'll be an updated version or just a social gathering. Like to play Antilia more, but things this weekend are more important.

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.
