And now for something completely different

I would normally just add this to my last post, but thought posting this separate would help to more effectively transition from heavy to light.

Remember, I lied about the last TF2 post...this video pretty much shows all the griefing tactics some people use in TF2. I had only heard of these until this point. Enjoy!

whats griefing? I watched the whole video and I dont really know what Im looking at. Ok, theyre hacking? Theyre building in the floor? They are floating? They are not shooting or just running staright into fire? What is this? Piss people off tactics? Is that griefing means? Causing people grief? If its that obvious than I feel dumb. If its actually some sort of hacking tactics than its beyond me. I mean sure setting up camp underneath the floor is spanky and perhaps amusing for I dunno 5 seconds but is it real cheating? Like everyone knows your cheating so whats the fun that? I thought hacking was like going through walls and killing people but trying to do it in a way so that others cant easily detect it. I dunno I just think video is beyond me. Peace!

you hit griefing on the nose. I've heard it used more in forums, when people are just being assholes. But yeah, I think the biggest distinction here stems from the fact that griefing isn't hacking.

These guys are really just exploiting the mechanics. I think in that floor instance, they're exploiting a bug.

For example, when the game was first released, putting a tp in the spaw entrance would cause people to never be able to leave...

Anyways, yeah, you're right, for any of us it would be cool for all but five minutes.

But I must say, I dug that teleport block one...man that would suck!

Ok, I have to admit also, the teleport block was really cool.
