mohawk

have a safe trip

dual no-hitter through 7.5 innings on espn snb right now.. sox vs cubs

My brother-in-law is cheering on Germany. He's obsessed with everything Germany. Hopefully this will get him big in to the sport and I'll finally have someone to watch games with!

 

Mohawk, I always forget which team you play for but aren't you in the USL? First Division?

I actually go to church with a guy named Tommy Heinemann that plays for the Charleston Battery. Ever played against them? I have no idea if he's a good player or not.

small world.. yeah, I know Tommy.. He actually played for us on loan a couple years ago (when Harrisburg and Charlestown used to be in different divisions) during one of our long road legs down south.

Wait, you are in South Africa mohawk?

 

That first game was actually REALLY good. Mexico should have won (the first goal disallowed) but they didn't DESERVE to win.

What about Cuahatmec Blanco? He looked like some guy who won a competition to let him play with professionals. I'm sure that he has quality and has been very good in the past...but MAN is he well past his prime.

no, i was referring to the blackhawks parade..

the rule for offsides involves 2 opponents.. with the goalie typically counting as 1 of the 2.. when he went out to make a play for the ball, it left only 1 defender holding the mexican player onside, thus the offsides was the right call..

I'd still take Blanco off the bench in a close match.. we played against him a couple years ago when he was like 35 and he was still a threatening player

The parade ending ceremony is under my office.. and I'm still in here watching the bafana bafana throw away 3 pts

It was a shock to m2 when he got to vegas.. he though adult gaming was alot of older people playing cs

Not sure what lawyers in different states can or can't do, but my sister in law is an employement lawyer in ny.. worst case she can direct you to a reputable lawyer in cleveland. PM me if you want her contact info.

Don't beat yourself up.. i did a little 'research' over the weekend.. apparently paying 1:2 for hitting green on a colored bet varies per casino

Last year in Vegas I lost $250 in Mandalay Bay on a game of roulette. I bet Black and it freaking landed on Green. Not Red..... Green....

 

atleast you only lost half..

 

Oh no. I lost all of it. I placed everything on black, haha. I'm just saying, the odds of hitting Green are so small that I would have been less angry if it had landed on Red instead. Oh well, can't win 'em all!

Hitting green when you bet red/black always pays 1:2.. sounds like you got so mad that it hit green you walked away from the table.. and left $125!

sounds like fun but AFK for the weekend.. drink one for me

like m2 is going to do any of this stuff!.. enjoy your 5 day bender. I bet the only thing you see are the insides of casinos and an occasional pool.

Didn't they just offer this free a few weeks back? Guess it was a success. Can't complain though Free things are always good. But I hated the small player limits per match. Couldn't join mo and Shaft every time they were playing.

you have to get in our party before the game starts.

If you see guys playing this weekend, shoot em a pm to get in the next one. Then, someone can invite you when the match is over and you can play in the next one.

I have had samsung LCDs.. 19 then 22 now 24. I've never had a problem with dead pixels or blackness. I have stayed in the 2-5 ms range.

Right now I have the Syncmaster 2433bw and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a 24" 1900 x1200 < 5ms for under $300.

nice deal for good hardware.. i have the same cpu and ram.

I think the cpu alone is still selling at the same price point it was a year ago

Can i hire him to tend bar next weekend?

It's official.. it's a van damme friday!

SJ can relate.. he's gone to bed with plenty of dogs

don't forget to stock the beverage cart!

nothing new to add except maybe try putting a big stuffed animal in the crate if the whining becomes unbearable.

It seems as if the battery in my 5th gen 30 gig video ipod is shot. It has full functionality when plugged in, but immediately powers off when it's unplugged. Apple wants $65 to replace the battery, but I know there are other methods, including doing it yourself.

Have any of you gone down this path before? Can you recommend a kit?

side note - I popped into the apple store yesterday on N. Michigan. I was having problems with the touch screen / transmitter sensor do-hickey on my 3G for the past 1.5 years.. and even though it was way out of warranty, they put a brand new touch screen on it... pretty minor cost, but I was impressed with the customer service.

It is a fun game. however, I stopped playing. Biggest reason is because of no dedicated servers. I'll tell you guys this, get ready for a multitude of hacks that you can do nothing about. Aimbot that has intensity levels to it, wall hacks run rampant, airdrops in packs, and the best one of all is the aimbot gunner chopper. You'll know it when it comes, you spawn, you die, you spawn, you die, and it goes just like that until the chopper is gone.

 

A word to the wise for those of you who end up in a game where the other team are all clan members, get ready to lose badly. Those are one sided matches. When you run an invite to your friends and put them all on one team it stacks that side for game play. That entire team now has match advantage. Unless that team really sucks, your team is gonna lose badly. I like the game, I like the load outs for the weapons and all that, I feel they have ruined what could have been a great game.

 

Ive gone back to playing cod4 mw1. By the way, I don't feel that PC should have to pay for new maps, after what they did to this game and no dedicated servers, I think they should be free. Just my opinion

I agree that it can be very frustrating when you join a game and there is a cheater.. the only thing you can do is back out. However, playing in a party of 4-5-6 usually minimizes your chances of running into a hacker, as you get matched up against other parties of similar prestige level. It's also a completely different game when you are playing a party.. much more objective based.. we're at the point now where none of the guys we play with will waste time playing by themselves..

I implore you to give it another shot.. Add m2 shazz or myself on steam friends and hop in our party one night.

*EDIT - or blitzkreig, ZD, Shaft, Laz, etc.

btw - the fact that you die spawn die spawn when someone is in a chopper gunner could be due to 1-2 of the guys on your team not having cold blooded. I've yet to see an aim botter in the chopper gunner.. sometimes a waller that makes your cold blooded useless, but typically even a legit player can rack up 10-30 killers in the gunner, especially if opponents aren't using cold blooded.

they left.. goose won imo

I highly recommend loading it up and giving it a shot. If you enjoy the FPS aspect of the game, I would stick to hardcore deatmatch or HQ modes. If you like aracade-y battle field type games, play some of the deathmatch / ground war type games.

Shazz, M2 and I have been playing alot. Add us on steam (srfisher) as the game is much more enjoyable in a party.

Also - you might want to preload the game, it's about 5 gig
