isketch = pro team building Posted by Oafmeal on 12/01/2009

 

  So our nightly ritual on the TF2 team has become playing online pictionary after scrims, and during breaks.  Nothing is quite so satisfying as seeing the deformed lumps of digital squiggle your team mates believe to represent real life objects, and making fun of them.  Also, some individuals seem to believe that repeatedly circling the same amorphous, unrecognisable blob of pixels will help them succeed when the previous 11 circlings did not.  We've quickly realised who skirts too closely the label, "sub-sentient", and who, on the other hand, is at all capable of making calls we should listen to.  Our team is far more organised now.

  s/x's turn to draw is my personal favorite, as his windows sens is so rediculousy high that anything he draws looks like it was produced by a centenarian with advanced Parkinsons.  Kayp, and Vlad are also wonderful to have on, but for different reasons.  Kayp was raised speaking French, so his spelling, and vocabulary sometimes leaves him out of the loop unless poutine is involved.  Vlad, being in the 'Land of Eng', is not used to some North American words, nor us with some of his "Queen's English".  I discovered just the other night that plums apparently "DO NOT GROW ON TREES!!!" in England.  They grow on bushes over there, or so I hear.

isketch has helped us, and it can help you too!

 

  In other news, I just picked up my Passport, and will be heading to Mexico from Dec 9th - Jan 9th.  Sorry and all that, but I'm going to stay at a friends place on the beach to play music, and quaff cervecas...  Can't pass it up!  Not sure at all how connected I'll be down there, but my best guess is, next to none.

Funny story about perversity Mata, I got the word 'gay', so of course drew what were CLEARLY recognisable as 2 men, in a 'from the behind' type of embrace. EVERY single one of the TF2 team failed to get it... They kept asking for hints, in fact.
