What are you using to see the video? I can't get it to play help!!!

Moss.......Legit is all relative, sad to say. This is a comp game. No indication of where this was played.....etc...well....you know the rest.....

All but one runs sensitivity at 2.0 or below, and they all use AMD chips. C'mon, what's the joke here? Anyways, how do you compensate for recoil that well with sensitivity at 2.0? I mean, it looks like there's no recoil at all. Or is that just how demo playback is?

Just use this version of geekplay: Geekplay It's a lot simpler than the newer version. It basically just creates a file association for the demos. I download demos to desktop and then just double-click to play them. Very simple.

Well, i have it automatically join two channels when it connects. Each channel gets a separate window if that's what you are talking about. So hopping just involves changing windows. I think that's how it works anyways, not an expert at it. I put the commands in the "perform buffer" in connection manager.

Instead of MIRC, I'm using Trillian. I'm with fatty in being new to this. Am I missing out on any features with trillian? Seems fairly easy to use, and doesn't require another program for IM.

A revelation????

I think you do need to have CS installed, not just HL......someone correct me if I'm wrong tho.

Get geekplay from geekboys to play demos. Makes it pretty simple.

Mmmm Stats Looks like Sparky has the lead at 30k bdg doesn't show up for some reason

check out rev at 32K or so

stats This is out of about 5 million. Kinda neat.

bump This is great, but seems to be falling in the forums.

I had an ATI card a couple of years ago and had numerous problems with it from driver issues to the hardware simply failing. That coulda change by now, but I've avoided them a long time. Plus in testing, if I remember correctly, ATI rarely can keep up with Nvidia. But that is supposed to be changing with the 9700. But the price...... I've gone with Nvidia based chips for a while now, and have been very happy with them.

I'd suggest pricing out the 8250 series also. With that, the base processor is a 2.4 ghz and the memory is better, PC 1066 RDRAM. I just did a quick run thru of it, and think it's only about $120 more (it was $1050 or $1060 after rebate) than what you have there, and that $120 will get you 600 more mhz chip and memory that is a lot better for games. Some of the 8250 series are also in the $800-900 range, which is basically just taking away 256mb of RDRAM, which may be a trade-off to consider. Just my opinion, for CS what you have there will be more than adequate, but I like to have as much bang for the buck as possible, even if it's an extra 100 bucks or so.

Morning!!!! I wanna live in your world where noon is morning.

Let me re-phrase - building your own is perfect, so long as you are not on a budget and know what you are doing. For the avg. pute user, this won't apply (or those with wives that just won't let them toy around ). The avg user is gonna be using something that's on par with most store/internet bought machines. Whether they build or buy. Of course the twinkers could build an uber machine. But who has that money or the time? I'm sure some do, but most don't. But a twinker could build a better machine for the money than buying one. So you live with what you can get. I myself think Dell has a very structurally sound architecture. They use solid, quality materials in building their systems. Maybe not the best; but far from the worst. And there is a lot to be said for the support side of it. Most people could not build a system that is stable for less than what they could buy it from Dell or a competitor. A lot of factors go into building your own. Takes some skill to custom build. That's always a factor. Dunno, for those of you that read this and fear self-builds, you can't go wrong with a Dell. It'll take some software adjustments once you get it, but the hardware is sound and reliable. As for HP, Sony, Gateway, Compaq, and a slew of others, good luck. I've had pretty extensive experience with the four above and would recommend none of them. Wow, i sound like a commercial

building your own is a great way.....did it with my last computer. But as Gond points out, software can be key, esp when you need something like Office. Got lazy and bought a Dell a week ago tho About the 5th or 6th I've gotten from them with much success (for an office environment). btw, I used www.pricewatch.com to find pretty much everything I needed. I had a good experience with each vendor I used from there. Anyone got any secret vendors for parts?

Whatta weekend it's been. With the holiday and all, the server has been full nearly round the clock. Jumped in the afternoon Friday and some late nite Fri and Sat and great games going on. Let's keep the trend up thru Christmas and beyond. Great to play in a community with such a dedicated player base. The games can get very interesting it seems. Anyways, glad to see the large group of friendly people around. Now if we could only keep the cursing to a minimum

On PS2 over broadband, it's pretty fun

And to still be banned after this long........................c'mon, what did you do?? Try reconnecting or confessing

Wow, accusing an admin of cowardice.............that'll get you unbanned quick I suspect this is not the full story; or an admin accidentally did this. Either way, it's prolly a limited duration ban. Just try to reconnect.

Cage uses amx mod. I've misplaced the website, but a search for it will bring it up. As to how to work it, m0m would have that info.
