The effect is passive, it just gives you less health and sometimes more uber when you spawn. Whereas the Amputator and the Ubersaw abilities are things you can actively do (And Ubersawing people is fun). The Solemn Vow I feel is only really useful if you're communicating with people and can tell them who's on low health. Since as a Medic you don't expect to be fighting people directly yourself, knowing their HP isn't so relevant unless you relay the information to the people who are.
    Like I said, I much prefer the ubersaw. People in pubs are careless enough to give you plenty of chances for an easy 25% uber. But if you actually care how you and your team do, as Teln appears to, I think vitasaw is the optimal choice.

    Vitasaw is worse than useless, IMHO. Less health on a class with low health to start and in exchange a small amount of uber (likely around 10% charge) that the medic can get by healing somebody for a few seconds. No thank-you, I'd rather have the extra 10 hitpoints and just not die. I can't even count how many times that extra 10 saved my life and my uber.

    So I got gmod last week, and grabbed some addons for it via the workshop, and then got myself wire mod, and then some more steam workshop addons.

    Well I got on today, went to play some single player so I can continue to teach myself how to play, and I notice that several of my weapon addons' weapons and my air vehicles (that's what it's called, it comes with two jets and a heli) addon's armed vehicles are all missing from my 'q menu'. I uninstalled and reinstalled the addons, but I still can't find (and therefore spawn) the weapons or vehicles I want to toy with.

    On the plus side, when I got rid of RP_ovicity, the lua errors all went away.

    Also, I am very intrigued by the idea of a borderlands/fallout-esque scrapheap postapocalypse rp server. And taking on lessons to learn how to use wiremod and build awesome stuff.

    Got my linux beta invite. DLing TF2 Beta now.

    Not a big fan of the whole 'Big Picture' thing. I mean, it works just fine, but I never run Steam in full screen mode anyways. In fact, unless I'm checking up on a download or about to play something, I don't open it at all. Plus the controls are kinda counter-intuitive for me.

    The Big Picture is supposed to let you turn your PC into a console of sorts by letting you play your steam games with a controller on your TV. It even switches games that are multiplatform into the control scheme that the console version uses if you have that controller.

    I've got a question about Left 4 Dead etiquette--if a teammate gets incapped during the last mission of a campaign, after rescue has arrived, should you go back for him or write him off and save yourself? I was just in a situation where I was the only survivor to escape on two separate occasions, and I'm honestly feeling a little guilty about letting my teammates down.

    Is it versus? If yes, then you stay in the rescue thing. Get's more points that way. If no, then it's completely up to you. Questions you may wish to ask include "Do they sound like they want to redo the finale?" and "Do I want to redo the finale?"

    If you're the only one, it's probably already too late to save them... unless they're close and/or you've already driven off most of the horde already, the risk of being incapacitated yourself before you can get them up (and thus losing the rescue entirely) is usually too great.

    So considering the sale that will end soon, both me and my brother now have Orcs Must Die 2. Been a real fun game so far, especially when all the customization can come into play. Who else has it and what's your opinion on it?

    I've wanted it since release date/demo, picked it up in a Steam sale a while ago and not touched it until last night.

    It's marvelous! Lots of customisation (and free respecs), the Warmage isn't quite so much of a ******* and I've just got to the mid-game twist... Interested to see how that progresses.

    There are apprently some issues about later levels being balanced for co-op and too hard for single-player, but I haven't encountered that yet.

    The dialogue for the game is pure gold

    And yeah, the last 3 levels are basically made for multiplayer. I only play the game with my friends so generally I don't have that issue... Well at least until we attempt Nightmare difficulty.

    The last three levels are difficult solo, but not impossible. Only 2 skulls on the last one, but hey I got to save the world and crazy-lady got to do that pouty thing with her face.

    Now replay the game as crazy-lady!

    I know a lot of us here play TF2 so I was wondering if we could get a team together for the upcoming CEVO season. It's completely free and seems like it could be a fun time if you're interested in competitive Team Fortress. I personally have played a decent amount of lobbies and play mostly medic with some scout. So anyone interested?

    What was so bad about it? I've played through it a few times even when it was in beta and never found it that bad, just not as good as the regular campaigns.

    How has the Christmas Sale worked in the past? Does it usually start on, before, or after Christmas?

    I ask because my plan for my brother's gift is to flood him with indie games and stuff, and I want to know if I'd be better off giving him a gift card on the day of, rather than paying more for less ahead of time.

    If I remember correctly, they usually start a few days before Christmas. I also seem to recall reading a report that some indie developer leaked that this year's sale would start on December 20th.
