General / What would you want to see in Source version?
« on: May 06, 2005, 03:53:39 AM »
i'll be the first to say it. a flamethrower. other than that, i dunno. more environment interactivity? weldables are nice and all, but NS maps that changed drastically seem like they could be much more fun.

General / 3.02 Release

that's a nice hefty anti-SC buff there. right on. now there'll be less moaning about unbalanced SC. (atleast, in theory) And the PG un-nerf is might return PG-beacon back into usefulness.

greenground, that whole witchhunt idea is exactly WHY i hate hacking with a passion.
A few years ago, i played CS on 26.4k dialup, with 250-350 average ping. That's a difficult playing environment. I probably averaged 4-6+ hours of CS a day. I played like that for 1-2 years. I got to the point where, once i was warmed up and used to an individual server's ping, could maybe get a 2-1 ratio, perhaps better, depending on the map and other factors.
(edit: a 2-1 ratio doesn't sound like much, if you've never played on dialup. If you want to get some perspective, try finding a server with 300 ping, and pulling a 1-2 ratio. and then try again, because you've still got a long way to go.)
Basically, in a random pub, i would get banned for hacking somewhat reliably. simply because i was "too good to be legit on dialup." Extra problematic for dialup, because with a 200 ping possible only in the best of circumstances, the number of servers that can be connected to is SEVERELY limited.
Moral of the story: Have i ever hacked? No. Will i ever hack? No, playing to improve personal skill is pointless if skill is not used. Have i been punished unfairly because of hacks? repeatedly. Why have i been treated as such? Because of **** like this here, today. I agree with 2_of_8's sentiments entirely, pre-edit.
Thx HD, i hate you now. from the bottom of my gut.

Off Topic / Pros and Cons of Tongue Piercing
« on: March 29, 2005, 08:05:30 PM »
sounds like you've wanted one for a long time. If for nothing more than curiosity, but that is not to be discounted. Side effects could include health risk, suck as infection, accidental tearing, etc. Also, i'd imagine there could be some social repercussions. I've never had piercings, but i'd imagine that there would be some judgement about them. On the plus side, tounge piercings are pretty difficult to notice on most occaisons.
I'd say do it. soulds like you've been interested in it for quite some time. Sounds like other people here have gone into reasons not to get it done. if you're comfortable with those, then go for it.

General / Rant Of hatered!

i believe i was in part of that game. i think i left because that backseat comm was REALLY annoying. Don't blame you at all for wanting to rip his head off, grind it into paste, and force it down his throat with the remaining pieces of his lower limbs.

Off Topic / Rad's encounter with Bars
« on: March 15, 2005, 12:31:33 PM »
Lots of respect for you, Rad. Religion isn't something i personally believe in, but that's my own opinion, not yours. Most people would not have gone into a situation like that, and come out of it with as positive an attitude as you did. Again, lots of respect for you for that.

I agree with Anarki in this one, but how would the Aliens counter vehicles? Bigger lifeforms?[snapback]38214[/snapback]
You remember Captain Planet? "By our powers combined..." and all that?
Imagine an Onos, with a fade gestating into PART OF the same lifeform. With an acidrocket of doom times 1000. And Blink. And Stomp. But it's one lifeform, until one decides to disengage from the other, and evolves out. What do ya say?
