Description
When I first played Fortress I decided to write up a kind of blog thing, akin to Livin' In Oblivion (google it) to see how long it actually takes to improve in a game that technically has no learning curve whatsoever. It was to be called ' Project Ubermensch' and it was dropped spectacularly quickly. I picked it back up during Valve's free play weekend, the the resultis seven weird little reports on one hopeless Medic-player's spectacularly awful missions, to reach a spectacular denouement on Sunday.I'm trying to be funny in them, so watch out for that.

Log 6:
Something about the general atmosphere of that place told me Arena fighting was not for me. Not for my Medic, anyway. I'm sure it's a tense and exilherating combustible rollercoaster for Pyros and Heavies alike, but I don't have that killer instinct. I quite liked spectating, though. I'm just that perverse.

I'm not the biggest fan of arena, either, but it -can- be fun.
Medics are actually pretty useful, there, since healing's otherwise extremely limited. :3
xD; Provided you pair up with someone that knows what they're doing. Otherwise, you both die.

Arena's actually very fun, when played right. I won as much as I lost, and we all left with a smile on our face.

Cealry you've never played on every map purely as a Medic to provide material for a weird little project. I never win on standard maps, let alone arena, but I understand that deathmatching with a class built for it would be fun.

I enjoy medic whenever I feel too exhausted or distracted to be on the front lines.

'Friendly' in the massively misguided sense. And the sense that there weren't two online gangs dance-fighting each other.
But yes, Lumberyard's beauty hides a dankly writhing nest of offensive classes.
