playing on right now at 1:43am on the pub server. N**** and f*** everywhere. It's hard to play with all the swearing

Yessir. I've been here since 2003... but I haven't been around for awhile... Life happened. I've kept in touch with Preacher and a few others throughout the years. Hope to see you in game!

Good Evening/Night to you all! I just wanted to say hello to all of my wonderful old friends from GC. After a very very very very very long hiatus from gaming.... I am back. And I hope to see you all on the playing field!

Monday 9pm EST.

Can you make it? Yes or no.

Very blunt. Lots of problems with the past two teams not showing up.

So then... 11pm tonight?

m2.. is my pm not good enough for ya?

11pm is kinda late... we'll have to see what's said by the team.

Kind of hard to do any of that in a dorm room.

Hello all.

This is Decoy, captain for the Lex Luther team. We're chugging along nicely, eagerly anticipating tonight's match. I can't wait to see how we do.

As many of you are starting to notice, or will soon be noticing, being a captain takes up a lot of time. And, it's not just being a captain. Being a member of this takes up a lot of time, too! But, after a practice or two, you start to feel okay. You start to think that, yes, this team is all that it's cracked up to be.

Then you play a match, and you really get a feel for your team. That's how you're going to perform. It's a good feeling. So another week goes by, and it's more or less the same... Hard to get ahold of everyone at once. It seems harder to get in contact with your opposing team...

You slack off.. Your team loses track of you and thinks you're hibernating in some cave(thanks vovik).

But, you're still there to be with the team. You still know what's going on, and even if you get to the position I'm in, you're still behind the main lines getting a match stuck together.

With all that said and done, you don't expect the following to happen to you.

On a match night, you already have your schedule cleared. This is the night we're having a match. Nothing else can interfere, because a forfeit is not worth it. You already know that two of your members can't make it, so you're down one person. Easy to find a ringer somewhere.

So, about 3 or 4 hours before the match, you're talking to a few people. You turn around to see something, or to say something, and then when you turn back around to face your screen, you knock over your bottle of water that just happens to spill all over your laptop, completely ruining it.

And so you frantically wipe it off and turn it off and dry it off hoping that it will work.

And, you turn it back on to find out it doesn't.

You get nervous and think time will tell how it's going to be.

So you turn it on 30 minutes before the match and realize that it's not working.

You realize that the laptop you bought on June 25th, 2005, with a 1 year warranty for a grand total of $3400, will not be replaced because water is under the abuse category.

So, you're out a computer and out of a match.

And thus so ends my post.

So.. I just saw this thread right now...

I have one thing to say..

Fatty, you've been demoted to the rank of toilet cleaner in our team.

Good work team.

Sorry my computer couldn't handle it.

I enjoyed the 8 or so rounds I played.

Anndddddd

A huge thanks to Allanon for stepping in for me.

I sent you an email about tuesday/wednesday.

Team Lex Luthor must be taught a lesson!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Wayfarer, did you make me captain just to mess with me all season long?> because seriously, you shouldnt do that.

The hulk vs Apocalypse

Punisher vs Superman

Wolverine vs Blade

Lex Luthor vs Joker

Magneto vs Green Goblin

Maximum Carnage vs Diablo

And that's that.

Hopefully that works.

You don't have a body made for late night functions, Zester. You won't even eat with me!

sign me up as number 77

I will be there, my good man.

Something to take me away from the terrible world that is studying.

Well, there was just a little number of us on the server, 6 or 7, and it started out as blah wanting to see if he could die from a flash kill. So, I slapped him to 99, and he figured out that you can't tk with a flashbang. So...

Another guy wanted to try it, so we got the two of them together and they killed themselves...

Then, the rest of us started doing it.

All 6 or 7 of us with 1hp running around with flashes and smokes, and ultimately nades trying to kill each other.

It was a riot.

He had the flash in his hand, when he died, i ran over it before it went off and it killed me!

Every Eh? player is more or less the same.

And... Blah and I managed to have a little fun!

I thought HDR is only client side

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Everything is server side... It's just that if the server allows something or not, the client can enable it or turn it off if they want to.

I think it's a problem with HDR running on linux, and that it might not have been properly coded for use on linux.

Like in the server config, you can put in commands to make something not load, but if there isn't a way to turn off HDR, then.. I frown at Valve for doing so.

the high dynamic range lighting thing... that they made nuke all pretty with.

Ok. So, I was playing on #1 for about 2 hours just now. Map changed 5 times (server side) at the end of each 10 wins. Each time it changed, it was frozen. I reloaded all of the maps, but only two would not straighten themselves out. De_Train, and De_nuke refused to play.

I'm not saying anything that these maps are behind the cause of the freezing, because I've seen every map, atleast once, freeze after each restart until a new map was selected.

But seriously, I think it has something to do with HDR.

Did you try to force HDR to off on the server? If not, could you?

Addendum to 5th shot,

Tell Valve to hurry up with Militia...

Update:

Actually, I just had this thought.

Force the server to not load HDR. Ever. Force it to not load client based, and server based HDR.

Mmmm bikes.

Best part about winter:

Butternut Squash.

Sheesh.. And I thought it was bad to have a bank account that my parents don't know about. (They refused to give me the right to be the only owner of my bank account for college, so I opened a new one and just transfer the funds in...)
