Personally, I think that this weapon is pretty overpowered, and that Valve will nerf it later on. What do you think of this new weapon?

Team Fortress 2 Update - Crazy Rocket Launchers
I'm guessing that earlier today, you TF2 players started TF2 only to find an update. Since there have been a lot of updates recently, mainly to the matchmaking system, I assumed it was some kind of update to the matchmaking system, however, I was wrong. I got in game to find soldiers with a weird type of weapon that was vaporizing their targets, just like how items you carry to the elevators in portal 2 are vaporized!

It's been a while.
I haven't made a blog post in a long time. This is mainly because I have travelled to Wales and have had a pretty bad internet connection, and honestly, I just haven't had much time at all.
So now, I'm going to discuss something that you're all probably aware of now: Google+.
I got an invite to Google+ on my email address that uses apps, and to my disappointment, discovered that I couldn't use my Google Apps account to access the service. After getting an invite on my gmail address, I managed to get in on the latest hype.
As far as interfaces go, it has a very simple interface, which is to be expected from Google. It does have a facebook-like feel; they could of been more creative, but then again, it makes it a lot easier for people who have used facebook for a long time and are trying out Google+ for the first time.
Google+ does not have one big friend list, it has circles. You can edit the names of the circles, create circles or even delete circles. This allows you to easily categorise your friends list and set permissions for each group of people. For example, if you have followers, but you do not want them to see your personal info, but you do want to allow your friends see your personal info, then you can edit your privacy settings, which is a very neat feature.
The main problem with Google+ is the number of users. There are reports floating around the net that the gender of Google+'s users are ~87% male, which I presume will change when it throws away the invite-only system. A funny fact about Google+ is that Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of facebook, has more friends on Google+ than the Google CEO does!
If you've managed to get in on the latest craze, let me know what you think about it below!
