  1. I would rather be on the team that has less of a chance of winning but has medics who try to keep everyone up than one that relies on 1 or 2 medic/x combos to win.

    A smart medic IS healing everybody, builds uber faster, but then goes with a specfic pairing to push. (i.e. frogg, most demomen, frogg, soldiers, frogg as a scout, other medics to uberchain, etc)

  2. Hey you know what? How about this?

    Now can we please talk about something actually important? Like the fact that people are making 40,000 in TWO WEEKS from royalties for Polycount Items?

    And that's what started wtih shareware, now facilitated with intra party transfers able to handle small amounts of currency (paypal, steamwallet) can do.

    If that's how much Valve paid to those guys, how much has valve actually made on these small transactions? Have they proven that this is a viable release mechanism that can now bypass stores and help provide a long tail of support and interest that doesn't involve brick and mortar stores holding inventory?

  3. Double posting but I want this to get bumped so people notice.

    Team 1: Our next match is shaping up to be on Friday, October 8 at 9:30 or 10:00 PM EST. Any complaints?

    Friday is fine, Sunday may be problematic, as it is Canadian thanksgiving, and i will be at my parents for dinner, and may be too stuffed to reach the mouse.

  4. TBH I'm fed up with dealing with this and would be quite content to hand it off to some computer repair shop to see what they can do. I'm going to take to Staples, of all places, tomorrow. (They're the same people that I had look at the drivers to make sure I didn't screw them up, and they fixed an older laptop of mine that had seemingly died completely, so it's not totally baseless.)

    Re: Intensive programs, all I've got are various games (TF2, L4D, Source SDK) and maybe Sony Vegas. Problem at this point is getting the computer past the login screen though. Thank god our house has several computers in it.

    The game login screen? or Windows?

  5. I'd check sound drivers, wierd as that sounds, and also, power down, pull a stick of ram, power up, start the game, see what happens. If it crashes, power down, swap ram, try again.

    Have you got any other intensive program you can run to check if it's your system or the game?

    My graphics settings are normally high, so I tried that. It crashed the instant I clicked the "Advanced" button under Video Options, followed by a BSOD.

    I haven't tried since.

    EDIT: Going to copypasta my more detailed post from the Steam forums in case it helps someone here.
