  1. i....love you guys...

     

    still trying to make my way back to the server. played a few days this month. might play more around the holidays. it feels like forever since i played!

     

    glad to see a bunch of familiar faces online ;) gotta admit i don't read the forums much, but if i ever get an pm or email, i'll come running.

     

    thanks for keeping the server running strong!

  2. I added (per someone else's idea from the forums) a 'ma_users' command to all of my BUY weapon binds, so every round I would get a users list complete with steam ids at the beginning of a round. In case something questionable came up, I'd know the steam Id of everyone who started the round.

     

    So yeah, I miss the ma_users command.

     

    I do like some of the new things, like CHANGE NAME. Because I hate having to hear anyone say "change your name!"

    I used to do that, but it was more involved, cuz i'd have to do a ma_cexec <name> name Something_else, so THANK YOU for putting that in.

     

    Can you fix the VOTE MAP option to make it clearer whether it will change IMMEDIATELY or AFTER THE CURRENT MAP instead of "after vote" (which doesn't make sense)

  3. Ok guys, I will eventually learn....it's a 50/50 shot when you type @ban user time or @ban time user......

     

    so i chose wrong and used @ban <moron_name_here> 0 and it banned me cuz of the 0 in my name....again.....

     

    it's been a while tho this time, so hope you forgive me.

     

    But check it out and see if anyone else got accidently banned. I was TRYING to get the "balack obama" guy for repeated team attacks. lunk said he got him tho, since my attempt epic-failed.

  4. update for my fellow .gc's:

     

    classes are over. i made an A and a B. :wiggle2:

    my last day at my current job is may 20 (next tuesday)

    i saved up some cash, but it won't last long.

    my parents are gracious enough to let me stay in their extra room in san antonio.

    it's not really san antonio, it's actually in a small rural town out east. no high speed internet.

     

    with gas prices and food prices what they are, i can't afford to be without income for very long.

    and i definitely have to either lease or sell my house in austin.

     

    i still haven't decided whether to get a job full time or do part-time and go to school full time...

    i just know that i can do better than i've been doing in the last 8 years. :shrug03:

     

    hope it all works out in the end. and hope to be back in the server eventually.

  5. on 2 different systems (if you had used the same mobo for each, I would initially think it was the blame of your mobo).

     

    actually it has been the same mobo thru all of the events... but i just thought i was overtaxing the psu....

     

    and i really do need to test all the stuff....but i don't wanna test it with this mobo :(

  6. thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.... and you're all probably right....

     

    after i've slept i have a little bit clearer head...

     

    1) could be the mobo....dunno. it's old and needs upgrading too, but then that means ram+cpu as well.

    2) it's been in 2 different houses, and both are <15 yrs old...so wiring should be fine

    3) but... it has been the same surge suppressor....i should invest in a UPS....

    4) i will get the c.s. bug again...well really i still have it...i'm just discouraged right now...

    5) so i could spend 50-100 bucks on another power supply again and cross my fingers

    6) i could sell one of the 8800gts's and don't overtax my psu

    7) i am still going to quit my job.

    8) i am still going to be w/o high speed for a little while. man that's gonna suck

     

    none of it is happening very quickly tho... i have to take some time off.

     

    thanks for the words of encouragement.... and i'll probably visit the forums more often to get my "community" fix :)

  7. i blew up one Antec 430W power supply... RMA'd it. meanwhile I had bought a new computer from a guy off of craigslist... came with an Antec 500W xconnect or whatever.... that one died on me last year sometime... so I popped the one they sent back from the previous RMA into my newer computer, and it ran good...for a while then I blew that one up. so 2 computers and 0 working power supplies.

     

    so i bought a new one, but only like a 550...not enuf to run sli, but enuf to get the job done. it ran fine, but i wanted more FPS, so i upgraded to a 8800gts.. still running fine. but then compusa had a great sale cuz they were going out of business so i picked up a 1000W trupower Antec for 95 bucks... sweet i thought) cuz now i have 2 decent power supplies and 2 working computers.... so 1000W now i can run sli! so i pick up another 8800gts....everything runs great... still tweaking some stuff.... but everything was fine...

     

    then i'm watchin some movie and POW! shutdown. smells like burned electronic components.... my first instinct was that one of the new vid cards went out....cuz NO WAY could the 1000W top of the line antec supply go out.....but it did....

     

    i haven't tested to see if the mobo and vid cards are ok......i'm so depressed....

    i give up....

     

    i'm selling my 8800 gts's and my mobo+cpu+ram....if they still work....cheap....cuz i am tired....Antec ruined me....and i don't even think i can RMA it cuz compusa went out of business and they need a receipt from the store....

     

    i'm quitting cs for a while.... so if you guys don't see me on the server that is why.....

     

    i'm also prolly quitting my job.... i hate it.... been there 8 years and they treat us like crap.

     

    i'm probably moving to san antonio...i might have to be without high speed internet for a while....

     

    i'm moving to be closer to family and friends.....

  8. OK EVERYONE. I'm going! I'm planning it now. I've paid. I'm going to tell my boss when I'll be gone. And I'm coming from Austin, TEXAS.

     

    Lunk: wanna carpool? heh I might actually drive...haven't done the math yet on whether it is worth it yet... but I'll want to bring my own system :) We'll see. I have months to work that out.

     

    Advice? Suggestions?

  9. unbanned the first one, but what kind of hacks on the 2nd one? how could you tell?

     

    it was speed hax at the very least, it was so hectic cuz he kept logging on as someone else's name, then he'd quit and come back as someone else and kept going...

     

    hellbound and dye were on too to verify

  10. ok i had to make a judgement call cuz some guys thought you were walling... it's very hard to tell walling...it wasn't enuf to make it permanent so i asked you to post here. i watched you and admittedly didn't want to hit the ban button but at the same time i had the mob pushing me to check you out....ugh...

     

    i think it was just one of those "in the zone" moments where you just knew where people would be. i'm ok with the unban, sj...

     

    and gl, sorry :) take it as a compliment that ppl thought you were walling

  11. you should definitely figure out what ingredients they used in there (probably for the fragrance) so you can monitor your reaction to that....

  12. just wanted to say i finally saw it the other day.... i have mixed feelings...but the warm fuzzy feeling still overwhelms the skeptical feeling i get :D

     

    i really wish they hadn't pushed the "all new cars" kinda thing... would have been neat to see them as "everyday" cars like the bulk of them used to be. and i really wish they had made the transformations simpler! there were so many moving parts i couldn't comprehend how they were transforming :)

     

    and i wish the voices were the same as they used to be...LOL (unrelated, but i miss ironhide's voice saying "BUT PRIME!" and optimus responding "No, Ironhide!").... and how could they put "Devastator" in the movie as a standard Tank? what's that about?

    the list goes on....like they should have consulted with me or something before writing the storyline :)

     

    it was still a good movie....but couldn't they have remained more true to the cartoon and the original movie??

  13. check your control panel -> audio devices and make sure that recording device is set to your (correct) sound card and that "use only preferred devices" is chosen (or try unselected too)

     

    and restart steam b/w changes just to make sure
