    A hello

    Been a very long time since I've been around these parts, but plan on playing a bit of CS. Hope to see some of you around in game. Life is always busy with kids and such, but nice to steal away some time to game.

    Server status

    The server just doesn't run very well for me, I have tried different rates and such. I am not sure where retro is located, but I believe it is closer than the other servers I frequent. They are located in Texas ~1500 miles away, I live in Maryland.

    Server status

    I usually only ever get on after 10pm Eastern and the day varies. I tend to play on a couple of other servers that perform much better for me with lag/registration, but sometimes drop in for a few maps. Is the lag issue from the admin plugin you're running as my pings to the server are in the low 30's?
  4. Hey guys - long time no see. I have been playing on and off lately, and I must say the server runs so poorly compared to how it used to be. Registration seems horrible even with a solid ping with a 50/10 internet connetion. Also, the quality of the people pretty much make me not want to even visit anymore. Teams seem constantly stacked, just so people can have their good score. Really sad to see.
  5. I am an Electrical Engineer for a small company on the left coast. A pretty good gig all in all. Work from home or travel around the Eastern parts of the US. It pays the bills and keeps me busy.
  6. I have steam installing CS:S so I can give it another go myself. Been sooooooo long since I played!

    Lost Planet

    The story seems a bit lame, but playing through the first 3-4 missions definately gets you hooked. There are some quirks that I dont like in the campaign. A good example is: you collect x weapons/ammo beat the mission, when you start the next mission you are back to just the machine gun and 300 ammo again. I would still recommend it for anyone that likes 1st/3rd person shooters though.
  8. Did you do the firmware thing for the DVD drive? let me know Yes I did.
  9. It is seamless if the person starts a coop live game. They could in theory play out the entire single player campaign alone in coop. But it must be a coop game for others to join.
  10. Add me to your friends list so we can play some eddie11c.
  11. I totally agree, hate the change. Hate not being able to afford my ak or deagle with these crazy prices.
  12. I dunno about the skill part, but I could give it a try.
  13. That is the trailer link i posted here anon, same as on XBL.
  14. This game is almost upon us. Hopefully I can find a few of you guys with it online to play with. The last trailer I saw for this got me really stoked. If you haven't seen it take a look.
  15. eddie11c I dont get online too often since I modded my 360(cautious), wife did not like me buying so many games =/ so had to do it.
  16. Keeping my fingers crossed for them. Happy B-day guys.
  17. For those with some time to kill that may have missed this one, it's A pretty impressive mix of CS:S sounds. Give it a watch/listen. Sounds of CS
  18. Not exactly computers... but none the less very much related. I am a Field Engineer for a large company called CACI. I spend all of my time supporting a contract with DISA(Defense Information Systems Agency). We deliver access to their unclassified and classified networks. Basically any government or military agency uses one or both of these networks. I spend most of my time travelling locally in the MD, VA, DC area, but we have people all over the US. There are some nice perks to my job, working from a home office, visit our office maybe once every 6 months or so and actually see my boss. Get paid from the time I leave my doorstep till the time I get back home. Reimbursed for mileage, get per diem if I work for more than 12 hours in a day. Company pays for my cell phone and internet. Paid hourly, but guaranteed 40 hours a week even if I spend the whole week sitting at home watching TV(be surprised how often I do nothing and get paid for it!) As far as experience/degree etc. I am prior Army, spending 7 years doing satellite communications. So other than the training for the Army I have no formal degree. Need about another 8 classes to finish my bachelors though. Just too lazy/tired to bother at this point. I do hold a current Top Secret security clearance(which gets me into all the cool/interesting classified facilities). Been doing this for the last 4 years and could not imagine getting a real job with an office and such. Right now I am making about 70K a year, but could make more if I felt like really working.
  19. Could be wrong, but IMO it sounds like the drive died. Perhaps try the one in question in a different computer. If that doesnt work then time to get a new one.
  20. that's like having a peeing section in a swimming pool. Who let SJ out of the cage? Whoever it was, don't be so irrensponsible in the future. Always double check the lock!
  21. Perhaps a mixed match, half with scoped, half without.
  22. Looking to build a small form factor PC for the wife, to replace her dated laptop that I have replaced the keyboard on 3 times already. Anyone know a good site for parts specifically for them? Or one with some reviews of cases/motherboards etc..
  23. If this is a standard 10/100 NIC then its horrible. Running at 100Mbps in full duplex should yield a thoroughput of 200Mbps, but of course thats not counting the overhead. And you will never really reach the theoretical limits anyways.
  24. I don't think I have ever seen skillz anywhere near the scopeless server. Sorry I can't help you. All the stock players can't wait to take the potshots at the regulars on scopeless... Pretty amusing since some of us hop on stock and beat on them regularly too.
  25. The only thing that would be insteresting out of only having auto is: you would get to see certain members/regs(Not naming any) that would be forced to play the harder side once in a while. There are some that always choose one side(usually CT) forcing the rest of us to go T. If you look at my stats you will see I am T almost 75% of the time. This is due in large to this, the 25% i am CT is from maps like Italy and Office where everyone wants to be a T.
