  1. Thanks Necro! I tried that out earlier tonight and it worked quite well. One thing I noticed, though, is that you don't get a dingaling when shooting a disguised enemy spy. Feature or bug?

    EDIT: I was checking out the OCRemix HLstatsX page and I think there may be a typo in the weapon modifier section. http://www.ocrtf2.com/stats/hlstats.php?mode=help#weaponmods Look, it says 20pts for a deflected flare where the closest second is 5pts and all the other "reflected" modifiers are 2. Typo or are reflected flares just that awesome for your score?

    I don't think it's a typo. It's EXTREMELY rare. Our server for instance has 10x more medic TAUNT kills than reflect flares. http://www.ocrtf2.com/stats/hlstats.php?mode=weapons&game=tf

    EDIT: Reflected baseball kills should be worth the most, but I think they're so rare they aren't even on HLStats.

  2. 90+ minutes dahlin'. Very srs bzness.

    You went about this name changing business very quickly!

    Jeez. I'm glad I didn't watch this at MAGFest. Even if it was absolutely fantastical, a 90 minute movie during the exhaustion would have done me in.

    Despite all the comments that have already been posted, I don't really see any that indicate whether or not it's worth the watch. That's a lot of time! I'm not a HUUUUGE megaman fan. Is it entertaining enough to justify the time? :3

  3. I was psyched when I saw this fake movie trailer between the grind-house double feature. I was even more psyched when I saw that it was actually in development on IMDB half a year later. This looks ridiculous.

  4. My mom always liked the OSTs of the DKC series, so there are a handful of songs she likes off both of those OCR albums. There are plenty of other upbeat songs she likes from my playlist as well. Most recently notable is Zircon's Electrodispenser.

  5. bahamut...i encourage you to watch the replay of that game where i was engi.

    due to lack of a mic i can't defend myself well ingame.

    some things to pay attention to:

    magmus, my lane partner, early game.

    the way shaman and scout worked together.

    then, in particular, that point where you did your hb ult, died, and accused me of not landing a stun, saying i had a time frame.

    somehow, 25 minutes in, the consensus was that i made us lose, partly because i didn't buy wards AND dust early on. as if i was the only support hero in that game.

    I certainly didn't play well at all (ping didn't help), but didn't see myself feeding much either (compared to others).

    this dynamic of everyone deciding on a scapegoat just pisses me off. Learn to take responsibility.

    Whoa sounds like HoN

  6. I haven't been playing obviously, but I've been reading here in the forums from time to time.

    I REALLY want to comment on the fact that I've seen Rambo make 2 huge complaints about other people not doing anything about problems, when he himself has the power to do something and did not.

    So lolworthy

    It was a single complaint. It was brought up several pages later so I elaborated.

    Everything I have to say about the matter has been said, so don't expect another response.

  7. This is mostly @ Rambo:

    I don't force scrambles because...

    1. I didn't know I could until relatively recently

    2. When we're getting rolled, I don't think "stacked teams," I think "stupid teammates." Usually.

    3. I'd rather not have to defend my decision to force a scramble in the face of power abuse accusations.

    4. RTV tends to cause less of a ruckus anyway.

    In unrelated news, 4-Sentry farms are a BITCH to take down. Even with two Ubered Demomen.

    I don't think you can force scrambles. You can force a vote.

    Stupid team mates = bad players. Almost 100% of the time.

    You can't face abuse accusations, because all you're doing is bringing up a democratic vote. I know you have common sense, you aren't going to start a vote when the teams are balanced.

    RTV is a poor solution to one team rolling the other, unless people actually want to change maps.

    Not knowing is entirely excusable however. But now you know, and knowing....

  8. i also care when there are admins present that can and should be doing the scramble when the score is 5-0 instead of blaming the regs (wtf?). no one did the !votescramble prob because they saw that there were admins on that were able to do it. why would someone voteban a hacker when there is an admin on that can ban him instead. same thing here

    As I said, I wasn't the only admin present. I was the only admin on the losing team however. This particular example aside, I've heard of plenty occasions and seen the screenshots of games that have been terribly unbalanced (when no admins were present) where reserve slot holders on the rolling team could have taken it upon themselves to right the game.

    Being a reserve slot holder means being part of the community. If someone has no interest in preserving the status of the server (not using their privileges when they can/should be used) why should they then have a reserve slot.

    I'm not saying that I couldn't have scrambled the teams. The server rules are intended to serve the regulars in the community. But when one team is down 3 players due to rage quits, and the opposing team (full of regulars) waits around to potentially be screwed over by an autobalance instead of attempting to level out the game, bother inforcing rules to protect those same regulars? Rather, why moderate a server that has no interest in moderation? Why not just go to any other server that has the same lack of integrity?

    If you have a reserve slot, you're trusted with responsibilities. Use them when they're best needed instead of hiding behind ignorance. Don't wait for someone else to protect the server you call home when you have been given the power to do that yourself.

    With a server full of trusted reserve slot holders, admins should rarely have to be called upon.

    That or there should be a lot fewer reserve slots I suppose.
