    My wife was in law school in 2007 and I needed to get her a change of scenery cause she was studying 70 hours a day. I rented a trashy little house on a canal in Galveston, TX, grabbed my laptop to bring along, and bought a copy of The Orange Box to keep me busy while she studied and looked out the window at something different.

    Years later, when I hit 6k hours played in TF2, I decided it was time to do something else.

    My son’s most played game in his replay this year was TF2 and told me a few weeks ago he thinks he could beat me. I haven’t played in years.

    Son, Imma wreck your shit.

    also i played a lot of fantasy life this year

      Initially you’ll probably hold a bit to not hurt his feelings, but quickly you’ll start sweating. (That’s my experience)

        This has happened to me recently with Smash Bros and my son. He asked me to play recently and I haven’t played in about a year so I got handled pretty badly.

        He obviously has way more time to play than I do but I’ve got about 20 years of experience on him, so the next day we played again and it was a much better set of matches for me. The muscles woke up, I need to start practicing more.
