So I was mainly curious as to what the penalties associated with Ddosing were - turns out it's worse than anything I've ever done:

You should contact your ISP with as much information as you have available to you (the IP that is attacking you for example).

At which point they can be subjected to jail time and fines

For example the gent that ddossed the Scientology website had to pay a 30,000$ fine and spend a year and a day in prison.

The guy that ddosed Fox news had to pay $10k in fines and got 30 months in jail.

Even in countries with less emphasis on jail time - like the UK - still hand down 6+ month sentences for ddosing.

Also @ sal... Apparently you can't file suit for ddosing unless the financial loss from the ddosing aggregates to $5k in the US anyways. I came across that in the law that's used to prosecute (that was mainly meant to deal with cyber attacks against the government which has subsequently been applied to private computers). Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or 18 U.S.C. §1030.

Interestingly enough it looks like you can also be prosecuted for aiding and abetting ddos attacks so anybody who is remotely involved in this could likewise be prosecuted for aiding and abetting.

I'm tempted to make a Slin head photoshopped onto the punisher's body :(

History degree I dont use

Haven't worked in 2-3 years due to physical ailments - worked in a factory all through school (the cause of said physical ailments lol). So I guess playing tf2?

I literally hate bethesda games, fallout 3 basically took my entire childhood, chopped it up in a blender, and handed me a pat on the back for their betrayal of the Wasteland legacy that they had produced. When I heard that Bethesda had won the rights to the fallout franchise over Obsidian/Tim Cain, I immediately knew it was going to be awful. At least they tried to say sorry by allowing Obsidian to make New Vegas, but as they used to say in the air force, a pound of meat, no matter how nice you wrap it even if you put it in a fighter jet, is still just a pound of meat. The only joy I found in fallout 3 was butchering every expressionless dumfounded character with my glorified potato gun, launching various absurd projectiles at them until they died (and in some cases got up again).

What can you expect from a company run by lawyers and not gamers :(

Skyrim was abysmal, not only was it broken and altogether boring, the story didn't make any sense, and the game was not play tested AT ALL (at release the main quest came with 2 game breaking bugs - that's always a + and reflects well on a company's QA dept.) but it wasn't even fun in the same way as watching "The Room" or as interesting as any of the other train wrecks that they've produced over the years - at least it was fun in Elder Scrolls watching your poor guy get fucked upon by a toad. And for the love of the sweet baby jesus TF2 has *far* better facial expressions than the blank 1000 mile stare you get from every bethesda game or the incessant recycling of voice actors - I literally would forget where I was because Jarl B and Jarl C had the same voice actor and looked virtually the same. Exploring the dungeons found in the game was fun at first too - until I realized that EVERY DUNGEON IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME. Do 1-2 of them and you've basically seen all they've got to offer.

Buy fallout 1-2, they're like 10$ and leagues better than any of the aforementioned swill in this post.

What RR said - if you can master pacing yourself as demo, not being too close in bad situations and not being too far away when it's time to dunk on people you'll do virtually everything you need to do as your aim and etc get better.

A lot of people really over do the cilantro when they use it, also the inclusion or exclusion of the stem can also influence the taste - not to mention how finely you mince it or if it's dried.

I was taught to crush it up when making shopska as a substitute for a commonly available herb in Eastern Europe - interesting that the article above suggests that the crushing of cilantro dulls the soapy taste people can experience.

Great guys - be prepared for ques to occasionally give you some sass

Best of luck!

I have been wanting to do something like this for a while, and contacted some pretty great + willing people, but ultimately I didn't have the technical skills required to carry out the project. It's still less than I would want it to be, but I figured I'd post it here so people can provide suggestions and tips + tricks to make future editions better. Furthermore, if you'd like to assist or chime in from time to time in future videos feel free to add me and we'll see if something can get worked out. The video is at times choppy because I was recording it with different software to see which would work better for me.

I'll have episode 2 out (which will cover 2 strats for defending each point: mid/spire/last) tomorrow evening. I intend to do every map that's standard to the rotation for 6v6 - beginning with those that still remain for the current UGC season.

This isn't an attempt to reiterate what Seanbud already did on his stream, I'm just trying to get something geared towards newer players that's as organized as I can think to make it.

PS. If anybody knows the source for the image I use at the very start I would very much like to credit its creator.

This game isn't a money making venture for anybody involved, it's something we do because we like it, and in all probability that's all it will ever be. Surely, we'd like for it to grow, but ultimately we're all individual actors doing something we like for fun.

Do what makes you happy Sal, and produce products that you're happy with. If that means you need to dress up in a tuxedo and speak 18th century English with 10 takes on the audio track, then whatever.

Especially when we're talking about commentating on tf2. I can count the number of regularly contributing casters on less than both hands, there's obviously tons of competition; I bet the other casters are rolling in dough like Scrooge McDuck, and surely being "more professional" would put you at the top of that very small list, at which point you could construct a golden swimming pool like Cbear.

Here you are fury/ninetails: http://youtu.be/kC2sjIZCDrE (in about 4 hours)

The first 2 minutes are just black screen because the FRAPs file is corrupt apparently, so I'm going to mess around with the youtube trimmer and see if I can't just tack on the first 2 minutes after I rerecord, reedit, rerender, and reupload lol. The rest of the video should be OK.

Ty for all da' love + bump.

In several, several hours dread your demo will be here: http://youtu.be/aHBAu_jIEM8

Here you are maidos + it's already up :D

I've had the same problem, but on dx9 - only started recently.

Verifying, Defragging, changing my config (I just switched to different chris' configs (and mat queue modes) - I think it has something to do with the overlay or steam, every time I pull it up my ping spikes in game and my FPS gets absolutely owned.

To be fair DHeroes is/does have 3-4 (one left) players who's only comp tf2 experience prior to this season was 1 single season of UGC steel :(
