JENING is happy to report that he will be back on TF2 by late New Year’s Eve and the morning of New Year’s Day! JENING thanks his good friends for their comments on the JENINGblog, as well as for their kind comments on OMFGNinja’s blog regarding JENING!
JENING appreciates it and looks forward to his return!
JENING is still away from TF2 but couldn’t help Youtube some songs. Here is one JENING enjoyed (not done by JENING). Merry Christmas!

JENING is happy to announce his endorsement of the new official Team Cheesus server, The Glory Hole! A week after JENING’s 500 hour party on the esteemed D7 Flea Market server (which still earns JENING’s continuing endorsement), JENING was invited by JENING’s old friend [TC]CHEESUS to play on the The Glory Hole. Although JENING continues to decline to accept any one server as his “home” server (there are so many good ones!), JENING has accepted Mr. Cheesus’s gracious invitation to assume administrative rights on The Glory Hole! JENING enjoyed playing with many of his friends last night on this new server, including [TC]Cheesus, D7-Reidzor, mundy1221, Decoy Ocelot, Zarnmonster, Gearbox, Redhaaawg, CobraCommander, and many others!
The Glory Hole (“TGH”) only runs custom maps. Jeningrally, JENING does not frequent custom server maps, as many custom maps are not well made. The maps JENING tried on TGH, however, were very well done and very fun! Wacky Races was JENING’s favorite, a map that allows Red and Blue to race two trucks around a track filled with obstacles while attempting to disrupt the other team’s truck by shooting at it and combating its occupants! JENING also enjoyed Blood Air, a crazy no-fall-damage map that takes place on dozens of height levels, and Rainbow, a psychedelic treat for the senses! Many of these maps also include epic music that enhance, rather than detract (as many map soundtracks often do), from the gaming experience!
TGH is very much a fun server, rather than a competitive server. JENING still continues to enjoy competitive games and will of course still frequent his many other favorite servers, including D7 Flea Market, the {GG} Server, the Angry Clan server, Arena Zone, and others! JENING sees TGH as an oppotunity to have a fun break from competition every now and then and play some really wacky, fun maps with his good friends!
If there is enough interest, JENING will hope to host JENING Parties on TGH every now and then with his good friends, in the spirit of the silliness and fun of the JENING 500 Party hosted on the D7 server a week ago!
JENING invites his friends to comment and hopes they will join him in checking out Team Cheesus’s new server!

JENING has played over 500 hours as spy! JENING extends his greatest appreciation and thanks to his good friends from the D7 clan for hosting JENING’s 500 hour party at their renamed server: D7 Presents Unite S Jening’s 500 Hour Party! JENING especially thanks his good friend D7-Reidzor for setting it up and D7-R2 for graciously admining all night to allow JENING’s friends to join him! JENING would also like to thank fellow spy OMFGNinja for dropping by and graciously extending his well-wishes to JENING!
JENING thanks his good friends zarnmonster, {GG} King of Spain, Bonster, Threatgreater, and D7-Reidzor for sending JENING their shots from the event! Anyone else with screens or vids, please send to: unite.s.jening@gmail.com.

JENING will try to hit 500 hours tonight, Saturday, December 13 (JENING may have to spill into the morning of Sunday, December 14 after the clock hits midnight)! JENING will likely be online after 10:00 p.m. Pacific (JENING o’clock, JST)! JENING hopes his friends will be able to join him! JENING is currently at 497.6 hours! JENING thanks his good friends from the D7 clan for graciously providing their server for JENING’s 500th and JENING invites his friends to play there tonight!
JENING thinks this song is appropriate to be adapted!

JENING played three hours as spy tonight to test out the new spy cloak-recharge-by-ammo change! JENING concludes that while it is not as overpowered as JENING initially thought, JENING still does not appreciate it! JENING sets forth the following reasons:
1. Reduces Need For Smart Tactics: JENING believes that one of the key tactical skills an experienced spy must learn is conservation of cloak and the timing of when to engage and disengage the cloak! Spies also need to know where and when to hide and recharge! The new update allows reduces the need to consider such tactics!
2. Makes Cloak An Ability Without A Tradeoff: JENING thinks that all good abilities should have a tradeoff. The Heavy has a powerful gun, but is slow! The Medic has Uber, but cannot fire. The Spy has cloak, but it leaves him vulnerable to decloaking in an inopportune, unfortunate place — until now!
3. Encourages Unengaged, “Lazy” Spies: JENING has seen more people play spy tonight who just run around from ammo box to ammo box to remain cloaked all round without engaging enemies! A spy should not be able to go five straight minutes or more without ever dropping cloak!
4. It Does Not Address The Spy’s Biggest Weakness — It May Even Make It Worse: JENING thinks that the spy’s biggest weakness had nothing to do with the duration of his cloak. The spy’s biggest problem continues to be random spychecking which all other classes do often and without consequence. Giving the spy potentially infinite cloak not only does not solve the random spychecking problem, it might encourage people to do it more since there is an even higher probability now that an “empty” space could actually be a cloaked spy!
JENING wonders what his good friends think! JENING would be interested in petitioning Valve for a change! JENING wonders if anyone knows who JENING could contact!

JENING was just informed by his good friend zarnmonster that Valve has released a new TF2 update! Here are the details, JENING has not yet tried it out!
JENING thinks the spy recloak might be too strong! JENING also fears that it will make everyone else spycheck even more, and so it may turn out to be an unintended nerf to the spy! But JENING has not tried it out and always gives Valve the benefit of the doubt! JENING will report back soon!
What do JENING’s friends think of the new update?

JENING was happy to have been able to play with various friends the past few nights across several servers! JENING particularly appreciates his good friend D7-Reidzor’s offer to host a party on the D7 server for JENING’s 500th hour as spy! JENING currently has played over 490 hours as spy!
JENING wonders which of his friends would be free and willing to help JENING celebrate JENING’s 500th hour as spy when the time comes? JENING invites you to leave a comment!
