Hey guys, I'm not good with starting things so we're jumping right in.

My name is Matthew. You can call me Matthew, Matt, Grizzly, Grizz, whichever comes easiest to you. I'm 17 (coming up 18) years old and I live in northern England. I started playing TF2 about 7 years ago and have came back for a bit after a year or so of absence. My hobbies include animation, design, heavy procrastination, and surprisingly, playing games. TF2 is my most played game at 3600 hours, with SMITE following at 2300, however I no longer play SMITE because I got sick of the devs balancing things around their financial gain. The games I play the most now are Overwatch, League of Legends (Don't judge me), Guild Wars 2 and potentially TF2 if I don't give up on it again.

Some of you who have been here a while may remember me; I've already found Will and Wanka while roaming from server to server. For those I am new to, I used to be a relatively active admin of the community, and was accompanied by my infamous real life friend Ben, who I have since stopped playing games with as we found we were just generally interested in different genres and would always find ourselves bored if playing a game the other had suggested. I guess I'm coming back for a bit of nostalgia, maybe because the game feels a bit fresh again, maybe because I feel like catching up with some of you c:

At this point in my life I'm coming up to the end of Sixth Form and looking to go to university. While I'm currently fighting against a declination from Edge Hill and I have a scheduled call with the course leader to discuss feedback and a potential reconsideration, it is much more likely I'll be heading off to Sheffield Hallam at the end of the year. The course I'm planning on taking is animation, and I'd love to someday work for Blizzard or maybe Riot if League sticks with me!

I'm not sure how long I'll be staying here, or whether I'll have the time in the upcoming months (maybe years) to stick around in the first place, but at the present moment in time I'd like to join back into the community again. I hope I'll be able to spend some time with you all, and I hope you'll forgive me if certain time based circumstances push me out of the community before I've really had a chance to have fun with you guys.

Thanks!

Henlo, I was the american robot that replaced you when you left, beep boop. :p
You dumped my tea into a harbour I don't respect you >:C
Hello, Grizzly, welcome back-ish.
I also play League, are you EUW perchance?
Yes, I am, though I'm really only good at support at the moment. Haven't really being playing it for a long time :L

Doing fine so far, hope the same for you! And thank you, but I'm not putting my hopes high, where they can be shattered so easily.

Yeah, maybe at some point ^^
Don't fall for Pud's witchcraft of 1v1'ing him
Oh don't worry, I've learned my lesson about 1v1ing. Not worth the risk of eternal shame. c;
Welcome back, looking forward to play with you sometime :p
Glad you can stick around while you can. :)
Thank you for the warm welcome <3

Good God, welcome back! I'm not sure if you even remember me, but I was (and still am) that trade-centric guy. It's good to see that you're doing well and have goals! I wish I had more motivation before I started college. Feel free to add me on Steam or DM me whenever you'd like.

Would love to at some point! Also, highest I've ever been is high Platinum (stopped playing 1-2 games before I would've reached Diamond) so I might not be up to your standard Overkill ^^

I absolutely remember the trading whizz, and I remember that's why I was particularly interested in you when you applied! Good to see you're still around, and regarding motivation, don't worry, I get that too. I struggle a lot to revise and stuff like that because I just can't bring up the energy.
Hey Grizz welcome back.
Plan on bringing Ben along as well? Hope both of you guys are doing fine!
Hey Sakuya, yeah not sure about that. I think he's pretty much lost all interest in ever playing TF2 again, he's more into PUBG and bunch of strategy games. :c He is doing well though, he recently got an unconditional from his top uni choice!

I'm clueless in Overwatch, I still yet have to get used to the environment of the game.
