  1. Hmm I'm down for some Quakewars.. especially since UT3 won't be out til 2024
  2. Was a good idea, timing a bit off on my end.. but hey nothing a few loud bacons IRL can't fix... I'll definately get Un back for this
  3. Ruff, Disable "preload all player skins" in-game to improve your load time it basically loads the player models into memory to avoid in-game hangups when you have to render a new model... but for slower systems disabling it is more beneficial for loading up the map faster
  4. Yah Bush you're pretty crafty with that LG.. Most of the main weapons I use are right around 58% eff... I guess I'm like an apprentice weaponsmaster. I use a lot of hitscan, but the rocket launcher is the best weapon.. I don't get to use it in onslaught as much as I'd like though. 6-4? I'll take it... Yeah I enjoy fighting with you guys and um... there really isn't a way around it because you and Bush freakin chase me. and on the noob thing yeah.. i yelled at like 3 people yesterday for doing stupid stuff. I'd be shock combo'ing a node and one of my teammates would park their manta right in front of me. Or another guy would get into a manta and just sit there for like 40 seconds before advancing anywhere.. don't know what he was doing so I'll just assume he was taking short breaks to gnaw on a sausage. Wish there was a bullhorn option so I could amplify/distort my voice and yell at them: hey baconwad! get the bacon out of the baconing manta u baconheaded baconing baconbag.. oh and gg ---
  5. Just thought I'd point out that currently my total lightning gun kills = 1337
  6. actually I used to get a 135 ping in quakeworld on my rockwell modem to a local ISP... someone ran a server around here
  7. reserve a demo download? I remember when the internet didn't totally suck
  8. It's a noble thing to do for your team but bad for stats I guess.. Personally I don't think about stats at all when I'm playing and I kill myself all the time when I feel it's beneficial. Only thing I don't like about blowing up the tank is you could fully heal it in the same amount of time
  9. I usually type in gc][ in the player search and check everyones at once And yeah on the hours played as long as you aren't sacrificing other important areas of your life that are required to maintain a balance.. it's just a number! Just think if you recorded the number of hours that you spend in the bathroom, or eating, or driving.. that would probably freak you out too. BTW Bush and Dark have nice stats... and Flitter scores points fast I guess one day i'll accept the fact that I'm supposed to be getting beat by u guys.... not
  10. Sounds good! We should definately have more than enough present to make it happen.. and if anything comes up we'll let you know in advance. Thanks for stoppin by!
  11. Un, I had flit set that up so you wouldn't shoot me have fun being stuck sucka!
  12. Darks been doing math all day, have him figure this out
  13. 100 is squinty in UT.. I use like 94 or somethin in quake I use 110 however.. I used to use 120 until my eyes started failing, lol
  14. They probably found out that everyone planning to play on their PS3 = noob anyway so the release date doesn't matter
  15. Tek here's my config, E - Forward D - Back F - Strafe Right S - Strafe Left Q - Toss Gun W - Rocket Launcher/Avril R - Shock Rifle T - Public chat R - Team chat A - Mic activation G - Link Gun Z - Lightning gun/sniper C - Flack Cannon V - Minigun Space - Secondary Fire Left Shift - Crouch/Fly down Left Mouse - Fire Right Mouse - Jump one of my left "thumb" buttons on the mouse I use to get in / out of vehicles I use the Logitech MX518 at 1600 DPI with a ratpadz GS gaming surface that is quite worn out Mouse sens in-game is at 1.0, although this setting directly relates to your windows settings so it's hard to gauge.. generally I can do a 360 across my pad about twice I turn off mouse acceleration and mouse smoothing, because any software manipulation tends to slow down the response time slightly. Any time you set up a config you want to take into consideration that you should have everything you use in an easy spot so you don't ever have to "think" about what keys to hit while you're playing. In other words, mouse wheel weapon switching = slow, plus you have to watch for the weapon you want so you're taking your eyes off the game. having weapons on the number keys is no good, because you are taking your movement keys off the home row for too long, and some people have to look at their keyboard. basing all your most commonly used weapons and functions off the left hand home row is optimal Increasing your knowledge of the weapons can help in deciding which config to use.. I switch a lot between hitscan/medium range weapons (IE, LG to RL) so I have them on buttons that are closest to my side strafe buttons which is what I tend to use a lot of during fights. Here's a couple tips to give you a slight edge: Play with a good mouse, the mx518 is excellent, I've also heard the razor (razorback?) whatever its called is nice but I don't like the shape.. basically any of the high dpi logitech opticals will give you a nice gaming feel, just get the one that fits your hand best. If you find yourself over rotating, overcorrecting, or realigning a lot when you play.. lower your mouse sensitivity. Basically you want it to be as low as possible while maintaining a level of mobility and comfort in-game. You want to be able to have it precise enough to aim at a face.. and loose enough to be able to flip a 180 without picking your mouse up. I put a pinch of baby powder under my mouse skates occasionally to reduce friction and to absord any moisture that might be on the pad if you're like me and have broken both your hands, it helps to run some warm water over your hands/wrists for a few minutes before you play to loosen up. This is the best piece of advice I can give you tek: PLAY CALM! Have fun, scream a bit.. but ultimately if you let someone like bushwack mess with your head.. you will fall into a slump really fast. I tend to have a high ego that my stats don't always back up, but it doesn't stop me from thinking to myself "man he got me, but I will definately get him next time and it will be easy" Use the Neo approach (don't think you're faster, KNOW you're faster) Oh, and Turn off shadows, turn off gore, turn off foliage, basically turn off everything that could mess up your view of the target If you could just see a big freakin square going back and forth across your screen and all you had to do was click on it.. that would be optimal for FPS. Try to get as close to that as possible with the options the programmers have awarded you with Hope this rambling helps
  16. LOL if I owned that there's no way I'd have such a stupid looking web site
  17. I'm glad it's taking them this long to come out with it, it's given me enough time to plan how I'm going to steal it.
  18. 615 Park Ave Las Cruces, NM 88011 The lawn mower and gas can are in the front yard, let me know when you're finished
  19. I can't aim either way so i don't care what it comes out for first
  20. Incredibly annoying to watch, lol
  21. I don't see the humor in that. plus, you didn't type in caps so I really didn't understand it
