They bet they could write slower songs and get away with it as their sound is so unique.
Several of their tracks in Ultra Beatdown are like this. Adds some variation to AudioSurfing the tracks when they're not completely downhill.

Yeah, I'd think by 2050, we'd have wearable photovoltaic clothing as the norm, and whatever electrical devices we'd rely on at that time would be powered by a combination of sources, including said clothing. Heck, by 2050, those electrical devices could very well be integrated into our clothing, if not our bodies.

cp_steel? Moar liek cp_where_the_f***_are_any_of_the_points, m i rite?
Play the map for five minutes and either you'll get it and remember it for life, or you couldn't find your ass with a map and a compass.

"Wireless power" is nothing new. Power can be transmitted long distances, assuming direct line of sight, via microwaves.

I use NetMeter, it's free.

oh yeah I've seen that happen
I've seen maps download compressed as .bz2 files, they don't take so long.

So, any assholes I've banned want to bitch about it? My ego could always use a boost.
(Banned two people today, one for being an abusive douchebag and the other for sticky spawncamping, intentionally, not incidentally. Both proceeded to justify the bans by connect-flooding the server afterwards (spamming console with retry attempts.))
Also 40MB uncompressed, but Valve updates GCFs (game cache files) which store everything compressed, so it should be a lot less. Binary space partitioned maps compress very well.

So I'm planning on buying TF2 soon but I'd like to know if there are any bots for this game. I hate practicing online.
Just go to a noob server, or any 24/7 2fort instant respawn server. 98% of the people on those servers are ultra-horrible at the game.

Casting my vote for giving dustbowl equal time with the other maps, instead of every other map change being fucking dustbowl.

The thing about mach4 is it's too small for typical fully-loaded pubs. It's ideal for match play, where you're typically looking at between 5 and 9 players per team, usually 6 or 8.

I'd run the memtest anyways just to rule it out.

That's how you appear on the steam friend's list - this isn't the same as the name you log on though on Steam though right? (the one you have to enter the password for)
That I'd rather not give out cuz it hails from way back when a Steam login name had to be an email address.

"[GD] Pyrion"
I thought that would've been obvious by now.

The only problem with warpath is the instant respawn. Warpath matches usually end up in stalemates, or very close to it, with each round lasting well over half an hour. Four-hour matches on warpath aren't unheard of.

This is why routers with QoS = win.

Nope, I think Valve just fails at adequate back hit detection.
The problem is, it's not tied to what the client sees. The higher your interpolation settings are, the greater the discrepancy between what you see and what you get.
Like firing rockets, for example. If your cl_interp and cl_interp_ratio are left at their defaults, then there's a noticeable delay between clicking the fire button and actually firing the rocket. Set both to 0.1 and try it.

Supposedly Macs outlast PCs by a good margin.
When was the last time you Mac lovers bought a Mac specifically for gaming? This is why Macs "outlast" PCs.

for my 8800gt, its rare for it to break 60C, last time it did it was 30C in my room....to damn hot to be in my room playing games...
Before I bought slot blowers for my 8800GT's, both of them would routinely idle at 72C and hit 85C on full load. That's "normal."
-
That's also why soldiers work very well for flag and cp defense. Just fire at the flag/point and you're bound to hit somebody.

I call bullshit on that one. First off Vist barely fucntions if you don't have 512 MBs of RAM, and I honestly wouldn't run it with less than 768 ANYWAY, so Vista needing a gig really isn't that outlandish. Especially since RAM costs pennies now a days.
Sign of the times. RAM dropped in price because RAM manufacturers were expecting a massive migration to Vista, which didn't pan out, so there isn't a great demand for all that memory. 2GB is about all anyone really wants to run, which is stupid. The memory's dirt cheap and people seem to think that it only makes sense to buy it when it's "needed," except that when it's needed, the price is going to go back up into "expensive as fuck" territory where it was before demand.
That's why I'm running 8GB. Even if I have little use for it outside of a 5.3GB disk cache (SuperFetch FTW!), it's dirt cheap and my system can handle it, so why not? Right now what isn't dirt cheap is 4GB DDR2 sticks and that's because most boards only support 8GB max, and with four slots available, it's far easier to pull that off with 4 2GB sticks. My board supports 16GB though, and if I could afford 4 4GB sticks, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
What really irks me about this sort of complaint is the notion that those who bitch about Vista being a "RAM hog" are unwilling to upgrade their memory anyways. I mean, what's the point of complaining if you have no intention of upgrading anyways?
The Crysis / Vista thing is bullshit, and if it's NOT, you're doing it wrong. My PC can barely run Portal at minimum settings but runs Vista fine.Crysis in and of itself is bullshit. The only thing that can run it at Very High is the GeForce GTX 280, and for that you need TWO of them in SLI. Have fun spending $1200+ on a game that's all eye candy and nothing else.

I thought so too, but the folder is labeled Quake...not sure what the deal is there.
The legacy of the CheaterStrike generation, they never played Quake, probably never played UT either, so they're getting the two mixed up.
The soundbytes are meh. I'm neither for nor against them.

Whats your first reaction upon reading that Microsoft isn't going to sell XP?
"Meh." Like I'd care.
For me, I was shocked. I like XP because the icons don't take up 75% of the screen and it isn't copying OS X with its widgets and side bar enhancements. XP has been very reliable for me and I will continue to use it in the future.You can change the icon size, ya know.
And let's stop with the "copying OS X" crap already. We all know that Apple ripped off Xerox with the GUI in the first place and that's why their lawsuit against MS (for supposedly ripping them off) was thrown out of court.

Theyll have that new version of windows out soon anyway, right? From what I read vista was just the ME of this generation, kinda a throwaway step.
WinME was so bad that Microsoft practically retconned it out of existence. Vista doesn't even come close to that, unless you have a shitty computer.

There are only three CTF maps in the rotation. I demand equal representation.
