How to enable custom sprays in Team Fortress 2 (TF2)

A nice soul over at Gamespot tells us how to enable custom sprays in TF2. I’ve already worked on mine and I’ll post it in a bit. Still trying to work out the edges

“First this requires you to have either Half Life Deathmatch Or Counterstrike Source

First start up either of these games and import a sticky then copy and paste the correct folder from the location below
X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Account\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\materials\VGUI
X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Account\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\VGUI

Paste it to this location

X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Account\team fortress 2\tf\materials

After this you will be able to use your custom sprays in-game.

Note: You may have used a different, Its most likely Drive C. You know where you installed it.”

I’m going to try it out after fixing my logo. Game on!

A brief edit: I also found this link to help create sprays.

Worst Interview Ever

Earlier today I had the Microsoft interview I wrote about earlier. The only way the interview could have been more awkward is if a bear ninja came in wielding a light saber and told us he had the wrong room. Seriously, the interview was HORRIBLE.

It was partially my fault, partially theirs. I was in a frantic rush to get an extra resume printed since it has been updated. However, the computer systems were bugging out and it took forever to print. Normally I am 30mins early for such events, but today I made it ~10 minutes early worrying about my wrinkled resume and hand full of stuff (newspaper, backpack, sac of nuts, cup)… I was knocked out of my comfort zone early. In an attempt to recover, I started reading some USAToday and attempted to chill out before my interview… but it just wouldn’t happen. I was out of my norm and it was to stay that way until I realized the interview had prematurely ended. Read the rest of this entry »

Interview with Microsoft

Tomorrow I have an interview with Microsoft. The interview is to determine if there are any future full-time position I qualify for, or if any internships are available within a reasonable distance. Since most of their work is done in Redmond, Washington, a full-time spot will most likely all I seek. The problem, however, is that I won’t graduate until December 2008, which is a lifetime to an ever-changing work environment. But nonetheless I will enjoy sitting down with Microsoft and experiencing what it takes to become employed with them. And you never know, something may come up.

Video Gem

I caught this little gem from genmay in a streetfighter thread. Its one of the funniest things I’ve seen, mainly because of the nostalgia. It brings me back to the days when I used to play. Slow-mode after the kill and all. Enjoy
