gotta love eddie izzard!

Yeah I'm with Fatty on this.

What are the respawn time requirements for TWL, CAL and CEVO? Is it just default?

It's probably documented somewhere but respawns aren't a straight 20 seconds. It's dynamic based on class, how many people are that class, how the team is doing, etc (not sure if the map affects the spawn time also). I would suggest keeping it stock since that's how they balanced it. I know you can change it to a different number but sometimes as a medic I spawn within 7 seconds using the default spawn time. Other times it's 20 for a soldier.

So I checked out gametracker and happened to visit the server forums for All Around Gaming. There rank went from the low 200s last month to 31st this month. I looked at some of their posts and it seems that one of the admins does a lot of seeding by registering the server on ranking sites. I'm assuming this gets them more traffic due to increased visibility. Their community doesn't seem to be all that special, so I'm guessing it's simply the seeding. Whoever ends up being the lead admin for the server should find out a bunch of ranking sites to register the server on.

I play regularly on n602 and they have decent traffic. The server is full every night without fail and has regulars. The map rotation is stock and there are custom maps on the server that are not in rotation. So I would say it's not the maps/rotation that make or break the server. I checked out some of the top servers on gametracker and of course they're the 24/7 servers. I wouldn't have a 24/7 server as a main, but an additional server would be nice. At any rate focusing on making one server successful is the goal here. Hope this info helps. SEEDING FTW!

dreamhost

yes!

...and that way if there are ever any problems with the service I can get it resolved without having to bother anyone else.

wait, does that mean i'm tech support?

i expect in house support sj... kinda like home doctor visits. use your imagination.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I read some reviews at webhostingjusry.com and SJ told me about the hosting service he uses. I think I'm going to go with his suggestion, they got decent reviews and that way if there are ever any problems with the service I can get it resolved without having to bother anyone else.

I was looking at the review sites for FTP hosting and they all seem to be reviewed by the hosting company in question, maybe I'm just not looking at the right place though.

At any rate, my friend and I are working on music and we use a lot of samples. We want an easy way to share them with each other without having to put them on an external drive that would be traded back and forth. This way we can just upload a sample and then grab it off the FTP and go. Does anyone know of any good FTP hosts that aren't really expensive?

Thanks in advance.

I can't think of anything better to do on a weekend... wait, yes I can... TF2!!!

All I have to say is... I want one!

Here's how I see it:

Wii - not truly next gen and has a gimmick, makes a profit on every system and relies mainly on first party titles to drive their product. appeals to the casual gamer and creating new gamers.

360 - has good support for developers and is easy to program for. has a great online infrastructure which makes people want to play titles on their system. fail rate for the system is horrid.

PS3 - has horrid support for developers and is difficult to program for. their online infrastructure won't be solid until home comes out. sony is losing software exclusivity since the 360 came out but once developers figure out how to program for it, software sales will grow. has the best overall features for a next gen system.

I just saw ocean's 13 last night for the first time. I have to say, I thought Izzard would play a more comedic role. All his stand up is hilarious!

medic (i'm good), demo (still learning how to play this correctly), scout, soldier (ezmode), heavy

As a sniper, the enemy sniper is your first priority. After he is dead you have around 20ish seconds to shoot medics and whatnot, and then he'll be back.

 

as a sniper, your biggest priority is getting over how good you are at cs:s and playing a real class thats more useful, like any other class except for sniping

well put sir, well put. i concur.

what i learned from this:

"when in doubt sound it out"

and when i get something right that i didn't expect to... don't react like this kid, ALWAYS make it look like you knew.

I haven't been a fan of the dialog, but I'm interested to see what happens with the characters. The special effects are ok... I'm a tad disappointed.

n602 uses it, it's convenient and works nice. This should definitely be installed.

Surely not the PS3 which freezes just 'bout every hour :-)

I've never seen this happen on any PS3 and that includes devkits that were not turned off for months at a time. If that's honestly the case I'd return it. I'll take a PS3 over the 40% fail rate of 360s.

We might try raising the limit to 24, the busy servers all have at least that many.

This is what I've seen as well.

got myself a copy!

 

dl'd the .exe files

 

plan on putting this on my new laptop

Can it be installed on more than one PC?

You could always install a MOD chip. It will void your warranty though. But in the long run you can play both kinds of DVDs/games.

I almost forgot about the HD loader, if you have a HDD in your PS2, you can load that on it without a chip thus eliminating the void warranty issue. Just make sure it works with discs from other territories. After checking, the new version is called HD Advance and can be dled free online.

Hmm I'm not sure, but I do know that when I worked in test at SONY we had PAL PS2s and TVs when we needed to check the different territories. Even if there was a conversion from PAL to NTSC, the quality would be really bad.

bay area / norcal here

oh man, please come to california or visit texas or somewhere else that has a decent mexican population. hopefully we can change your viewpoint on Chipotle making the best burritos in the world...

the one by my house charges $1.50 to add a scoop of guacamole!!! wtcrap is THAT?!!?

I've been spending my time playing TF2, I can't get enough of it. After playing it, I'm not sure I could go back to Insurgency.
