i passed my (CDL class A) road test today. so happy :D. watched so many youtube videos about trucking that i actually learned how to pass driving big rigs and getting my license (plus playing euro truck simulator video game helped lol). instructors from trucking school that i went to had little to no help because of limited time and being busy/stressed out etc (they had only two working trucks, only an hour a day training/practiced for 2 weeks..8 to 12 hours total..not enough time imo), although i can't blame them since DPS is two months behind their regular road tests as there are so many people applying for their CDL. economy man, still sucks for lot of ppl. just couple examples what it's like to expect during road test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqK8jKSDCGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvWgTJve6-s

Day 2 report. It took a bit to find some matches today. I bet the COD crowd already went back to black ops. Better team synergy today as well. The big difference about this game is that offense can't push. You can't push without defensive characters or support characters. An all DPS team will lose every single time. There is no TDM in this game. I found myself using Reinhardt a lot more when my team struggled and it changed the momentum of the match completely. That barrier does wonders for pushing forward. We dominated an escort match with my leading the way and someone playing Mercy keeping my HP topped off. Squishies tried to flank me and I hammered them down immediately. I shoulder charged the opposing Reinhardt when he had his barrier up, sacrificing myself, but advancing my team. Once I broke their line, they couldn't afford to allow me to swing my hammer wildly, they had to focus me down leaving them vulnerable to my team who where behind my barrier. This game is not about KD, and they don't even display how many times you died publicly, you only see it in your personal recap. One offensive player would be hard pressed to carry a team, I don't think its possible, but someone like Reinhardt, Torbjorn, Wintston, or Mercy could. At the end of each match, when kudos are displayed people can vote to give props to a game well played. I got my first most "epic" I guess its called, when you get the most votes. I got it for my Reinhardt escort. What is cool about this is that it generally nominates people from both teams unless it was lopsided. Same goes for "Play of the Game" if the losing team had a better epic play, it will show it rather than someone on a winning team that did nothing spectacular. I played some Zenyatta today and he's going to be another favorite support character with strong offensive capabilities. Hes squishy as can be, but he buffs and debuffs. You can heal teammates, and apply vulnerability to enemies. You can only do this to one character at a time each way. The debuff lasts as long as the character is alive or possibly is healed by Mercy. His ultimate makes him invincible for a good 7-10 seconds while he heals everyone around him. This can be clutch trying to lock a point down. Playing Torbjorn more today I liked him even more. I haven't been utilizing his abilities to their fullest. He's def on of the best characters for defending. Once you place down your turret, you can pull out a hammer pressing the right D-pad button and hammer away at your turret upgrading it to level 2. If you using your ultimate and do this, it makes a super turret. I haven't played as Mei yet, but damn shes annoying. Good Mei players are going to be tough to deal with. Her freeze gun can lock you down in place and stun you giving her a free headshot insta kill. She excels on capture point mode, and her ultimate is a stationary device that will freeze everyone's feet to the ground in a large radius. I found myself going for her first as Widowmaker, she can def neutralize your Reinhardt if she can flank him. Its just great how everything has a counter. There wont really be a meta team build outside of MLG.
