  1. Re:Steam/VAC on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    Never seem?

    You are either grossly nubish um...

    yea your grossly nubish.

    With steam, if you get banned as you say from a server, your cd key isnt banned, your steam id is banned. If you make a new account with the email verification shiznit, your unbanned from the server you just got banned on. Only minus to ge5tting banned is it resets your steam friends if you use it :p

  2. Re:Practicing with Bots on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I dont know about you, but if that happened, the game would, well, suck. half the reason people play a game long enough to be THAT good is to join a server with friends and whip the shit out of a bunch of "nublets"

    Take that aspect away, and i see 1/2th the peope who play for more then 4 hours a week quiting the game. If I got kicked to a new server every time I pulled a decent score, I would say "fsck this" and give up the game, as how to you play with friends and develop communities, and all that shiz

  3. Re:Well on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    If you think headshot after headshot is sign of a cheat,er you shoudl go back to the .7 servers... the im+ league players routinely pub with friends just to get those insane scores for the fun of it. Picture a cal-i team leader joining a random pub server, and playing. No one on the server would believe he wasnt hacking, I know, i see it every day (im not cal-i but i get accused of cheating just from wasting too much damn time on the game)

  4. well... on Sony Sees Gaming Opportunities, Rough Times In China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One of my better IRL friends is chinese, and regardless of what gets released there, if he wanted it, he would have had no problem getting it for half the price from a non-official channel. Thats the main reason I laughed when Nintendo put out its n64/snes system a few months ago, my friend had already had both systems during their prime.

    maybe my friend is better off than most, but it seems like if you want, you can get, regardless of channels, and generally for alot less money...

    actually you can basically disk image just about any X-Box game to the hard drive(with right software installed) and have your entire library on the X-Box for easy PLAY. Makes it handy for um... playing without having to worry about scratching disks;) Very usefull stuff.

    Have you ever sat in on a naming convention meeting for a large company? Im talking about something with 10-15 people sitting around a table, 2 more teleconfrencing, and 5 more people sitting in from their various conferences sleeping along the side(i was job shawdowing at the time)

    My CS clan has a number of old farts in it... and let me stress the "farts" part;)

    Let me just look through whos in the irc chat right now... ok, first name is im assuming around 28 years old, has a nice kegerator in his house. Second nam eon the list... ulp, i think this ones 27 or so. Lez see... next is 20... then me(20..) then a 16 year old, and then a 15 year odl, both whos father plays and is in the clan, considering that, i would put him at least 40 i'm assuming. We also have 3-4 more between 28 and 35 year olds in the group.

    consider us an old clan? Mature is a more likeable term, it has lead to us being around for what, 3 years now...? :-D mmm counter-strike

  20. Re:911 on Qwest & Cablevision Launch VoIP Service · · Score: 1

    Actually...
    There is no reliable way to link an IP to physical locatoin in a halfway decent amount of time.

    There is a number of projects, such as this one(there are many better projects out there, but this was one of the first I googled.)

    You can generally get an area, but not with certain ranges, and certainly not specific addressing without either a re-write of a majority of hte structure of the internet, or mass forced cooperation with isps(would this even be feasible?)

    I see 911 service in the future if VOIP continues to proliferate as more of an "emergency box" system such as what is used on many college campuses(push the blue button and it will beep/flash and campus police will come) and(or?) something similar to the 911 buttoms many senior citizens have for when they fall down in the bathtub.

    hm... will be interesting to see how it turns out regardless of how they go.
