How did you get into Spy?

Just as the title says, how did you find your love for the Duke of Spook?

I found out upon my discovery of TF2. Ended up by accident finding a Spy guide by EvilDaedelus dating back to 2008 or so I believe. It got me interested into TF2 and dedicated to learning and mastering the Spy class.

Tried tf2 for the first time, literally 25 min, hated the game.

Tried tf2 for the second time and first played sniper but hated the fact that a single headshot wasn't a 100% chance for a kill, tried Spy and had a lot of fun

Then started neglecting all other classes for Spy and eventually after a great amount of hours eg. gunspy pubbing is just so relaxing because I don't even have to think about it anymore.

Would tell you, if i could remember back. Its a black hole.
I think, same like RaF, tried TF2 2 times. First, i played with it around 2011's summer. I got bored. Came back around May of 2012, as premium, because i bought the Orange box. I think, since from that time.
Same like you, Carl. Some guides, videos and yeah. Here i am.

I use to do some magic, so spy makes sense.

So many magic!

spy can cloak. no seriously, thats the reason i started playing spy back in 2007 and i've loved the class ever since

I just sort of started playing TF2, first sniped a lot, then tried spy and liked it, iunno.

Friend of mine got TF2 for Christmas when he was 15, I tried it out, Spy got knife? Cool. He can invis? Fuck yeah. Backstab? ORGASM!

Don't blame me, I was 12.

Instakill = win

I love stealth and assassins in all game omg.

I played a lot of Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell when I was younger. Stealthy just seemed right for me.

I wish had a pro spy video. Maybe I would be able to get some views.

Mained Pyro for my first 100 or so hours, got trickstabbed, wanted to know how the fuck that happened, found stabby video, then I wanted to trickstab n00bs too.

Do you now use axtinguisher to trickstab noobs and matador trickstabbing spies?

Carl's ego grows

I just found a lot of thrill playing Spy for the first time. You're often among only enemies as a low-health class gifted with the power to one-hit kill anyone you chose if you can get up close without them noticing. It's really thrilling for me. Another reason, weird as it may sound, I'm into theatre and acting in real life, and I get a lot of excitement from acting ingame as well. I always find it so funny to be spychecked, show no reaction, so people assume you must not be a Spy. Then you can stab them, you feel great, and they feel so foolish. That'll teach them to not be paranoid enough!
