The most popular online first person shooter ever, it's a mod based on the engine of half life, and has been around quite some time now, about 6 years, the gameplay is simple in plain view, there are 2 teams that have to kill each other or complete the objectives of a map to win the round. Unlike other fps like popular fps like quake or unreal tournament, the players doesn't get respwaned after he dies, but he waits for the round to finish, and then gets respawned in the buy zone of each map. the first 30 sec are crucial, when each team tryies to get the best position on the map, tactics beeing a very important part of the game. Nowadays, people neglect counterstrike due to it's out of date graphics engine. Since source came out it made some sturr, but not as big as when it first hit the online gaming community. it's a very dificult game to master, takes years to do that. to newbies it's just boring :)

you see them frequently enough, they know your usual, they might know one of your family members or a friend somehow, but you mostly have small talk.
you might have one or two similar interest i.e.:
- you work/worked for the same company
- similar jobs---they work for Walgreens, you work for CVS
- you or a sibling might have gone to school with them
- they might have noticed you both buy the same things
- are ordering their fav food/drink
- you have a rocken' movie/band t-shirt, nice purse
- own a pet
- have kids
- have a car
- etc, whatever, either they're bored, are hitting on you, have no life, or are trying to sell you something you probably don't need.
you see them around town and you might nod, have a brief uncomfortable conversation 'small talk' (your real friend is probably thinking, 'who the f*ck's this guy?'), or you keep walking like you're too busy to have noticed them.
places you might find counterfriends:
-Walgreens, CVS, pharmacies
-Starbucks, Dunkin Dounuts, coffee shops
-McDonalds, Burger King, fast food eateries
-Target, Walmart, stores
-secretaries, receptionists, assistants
-etc, you get the idea. they secretly hate you anyway.
Either way, be nice, they're working joes like you and me, and anyway, they're working with your food, your information, and they can tell people about all the weird sh*t you buy.
