So, uh... yeah, don't forget my screwdriver.

Some people were asking what settings I use in game and wanted a little help, so here is some help I have to offer: *always use net_graph to monitor your tweaking and connection (I use net_graph 3)* Be sure to adjust your rates to accomodate your connection: rate, cl_updaterate, cl_cmdrate, etc..... Use netgraph to monitor how the settings are doing as far as ping, packetloss or choke. I am on broadband and these are the rates I use: rate 25000 cl_cmdrate 100 cl_updaterate 15 The cmdrate you should always be able to keep at 100, updaterate I would start at 15 and increase it in increments of 5 until you start seeing choke and/or loss (packetloss). Then back it down by one at a time until you are seeing no loss or choke. Remember the lowest ping is not always what you are wanting, the stable ping is, on gc servers I can get my ping down to 15, but it ranges between there and 40. So I have it set to where it stays between 25-30. Reason for this? So I know where to be shooting for each target. With the ping varying more, the interp will affect your shots differently, so you want it to stay as close to the same number ms as possible. One thing many people may notice is their shots not registering, when they are dead positive that they should have hit the guy. On a connection that has no loss or choke, that is due to improper set up between your interp and ping. The default in CS:S is cl_interp 0.1, this setting is telling your client to tell the server "hey, I have a ping of 100, so determine where that player that I was shooting at was compared to where I shot." Well if you have a ping of 40 and you are telling it to accomodate for a ping of 100, you would always have to shoot behind a player to hit them, not fire where they are at (on moving targets). So use this and determine where you need to be: ping / cl_interp rate 100 / 0.1 80 / 0.08 50 / 0.05 30 / 0.03 You may have to adjust the interp rate from server to server all depending on your ping. And always adjust this rate last.

I am always a definite for one walk-in, and I might be bringing a friend as well.

Me and Black Ice will be picking our team at FF.

I suppose I will volunteer my ever watchful eye and fists of fury for a night. With my job and whatnot I am accustomed to having to stay awake for 24-36 hours at a time.

mouse exceleration is what allows me to keep my sensitivity as low as it is for more accurate shots while still allowing me to pull a 180 turn. With accelerration I can just whip the mouse quickly without having to go a far distance and I am facing the other way. I have mouse smoothing turned on in game. As far as the actual windows values aside from that as far as sens and whatnot I believe I left those at default upon mouseware installation. I'd have to wait until I get home to check them though. I have an MX700 Also you may not want to make the jump in one fail swoop (swoop, hehe) try bunoing it down a little at a time, get used to that setting, then bump it down some more etc...

Well, I'll prolly be needing a team as well, since it looks like most of the VI won't be coming this year. But I have to participate, need to defend my title and go for the 3-peat YEAH BABY!!!!!

So does the course really say google all over it?

hop in VI's server and see how ya ping 69.44.152.108:27015

While the servers are down some of y'all can hop in VI's server for a server to play on that is closer to home for ping. The I.P. is 69.44.152.108:27015 it is a vac2 secure server.

I love guild wars, worth the money and they will be expanding it. On the BF2, it is a nice thing they are implementing with the the whole squad leader and all, but the problem lies in the players. You have players that want to work together as a team and communicate, then you have those that don't, those that like to p!ss other people off, or people who are just there to frag and have no inclination of teamwork.

We use VAC 2 on our Village servers and not one problem yet. *knocks on bigbone's head*

I guess my brother is having a Happy Birthday INdEEd, he hasn't been on the boards, won't answer his cell, or respond to his voicemail. Oh well, Happy Birfday bro. Happy birfday to you as well Zester.

Well since it is a movie theme, how about it say "A Gamers Coalition Production"

I'm am gonna be there again this year, and like the past couple years I am gonna pay at the door, don't mind paying extra since it goes to a good cause. There are 2 others that I may be coming with me, one just has to get spousal approval (snicker), and the other has to check his work schedule.

Bah! All it was, was a paintball gun. I wouldn't doubt that they were trying to shoot him, some of the cheaper ones can have some crappy accuracy.
