Let's calm this thread down a bit

This is when detective Loronix thought i was a hat scammer - my facebook, twitter, and email account, all which i had posted on my PUBLIC steam page...how did you find me!! Also, good job listing my college's address and phone number (google Robert Morris University lol) :-D. The best part, is all he had to do was ask me, since me and that other guy in that pastebin got scammed by the same dude...and i'm the thief because i was on that guy's friends list??? Oh man how did i never find this before, this seriously made my day. I know who to call now if i ever need someone found....not to actually find someone, just for the humor ya know.

Also apparently a lot of printer repair guides come up under my name.

I can hear it fine in certain situations (MGE for example, though alot less action is going on). Mid-fights however the sound is far less noticeable than the regular. Mainly from a longer distance jump, where as i can hear the regular way more clear...which is very beneficial as the sound helps predict direction for a bomb from a flank you may not see coming.

I have a laptop and a desktop with various hardware on each...and i've noticed it on both....so who knows. I have spent years in and out of studios so who knows how fucked my ears are. Also i could care less if people use it either way, i was just sharing my own opinion.

100% agreement that it's all personal preference as far as aim is concerned.

Only thing i wish is that the rocket noise out of the original was the same volume/noise as the regular. There is a slight stealth advantage in that regard. Anyone know if there's a way to mod/change that client side without getting vac banned lol? There were ways to do this in other HL mods, but never really looked into TF2.

The older you get, the less and less you get! Therefore you must treat yourself to nice things - so merry Christmas to me

Other than that family got me socks, undershirts, and a Burger King gift card

still can't believe there are people that take pugs so serious...maybe try to have some fun?? Queue up Bad Boys II shit just got real video.

MGE = good for practicing aim and trying situational events (see dummy's comment). 1v1 rarely occurs in matches and almost will never happen in the same light as MGE. Still it's a form of practice and i find it good for warming up if nothing else. Some people look waaaaay more into it than needed. I really hope Lange ends up removing stats because too many people take W/L records too serious. Keep accuracy stats and be done with it. People who talk shit either about being better, or someone getting beat are complete morons.

dm servers = good for helping enemy awareness, experience in multi dm situations, reaction time, and how to flank/escape in battle. Overall, the better practice imo, but still both will help you in some form or another.

Alright i will give the g400 a shot then most likely, thx guys.

Thanks for the link...looks like the only true 1600dpi one there is for 129.99...waaayy too much.

I checked ebay too, the only 1600dpi models are shipping from hong kong, and i can almost guarantee they will be fakes.

So my mouse finally died after 5+ years. I got a replacement MX518, however it is the updated 1800dpi model. The problem isn't so much the dpi, but i discovered after reading around, that they used a different optical system (i believe it's similar to the one in razers)...and it feels not even remotely the same.

Anyone have the original 1600dpi version they would consider selling to me? Add me on steam and we can discuss price and whatnot. Thanks!

haha tagg u know i <3 u - you've had to have heard some of the conversations in there, and yes i know they're just joking but someone was literally making dick sucking noises the other night on mumble (PROBABLY HERO).

I wouldn't take anything in the invite pugs too seriously. I literally just started playing in them the past month - and they are very well run from what i've seen. Also, everyone that sits in spec gets a turn. Everytime i've been in mumble when teams are being selected, they go through the list of specs to see who didn't get picked the last time. Also all of the shit talk i would take with a grain of salt...it's sarcastic, and at times blatantly homosexual.

90% of my TF2 hours over the past 3 seasons have been spent speccing the teams i've been bench riding for. I do this to help see what they are doing wrong and try to offer advice as far as strategy and playstyle. I don't even pretend that i can hang with the rest of the guys skill wise on br0, but i can help point out some things to work on based being that "third eye". A lot of times players get caught up in a routine or the moment and miss a flank or tunnel vision focus. One of the hardest things to do is to understand what you're doing wrong when you can't see it. Simply put, anyone with a solid understanding of the game can offer advice - the real skill of the player is to take that advice and run with it to keep improving, no matter if they are b4nny or an open level player. There is always room for improvement.

Killing i understand where you're coming from - ESEA is heads above what any other league has done for TF2. The one issue though is that every season 2-3 invite teams die, and those players for the most part recycle back through open/IM. We then move 2-3 IM teams the next season and the same thing happens. Some teams openly don't want to play, but what about the teams that really aren't ready to compete at that level? Is it worth it to consider a 6 team invite division to have less potential turnover? Could doing this give the good IM teams another season or two to hone in and really become that "dominant" IM team that will then truly want to compete? Just curious on your thoughts...

No i'm saying they we're that much of a better team than anyone in IM last season, and they still got stomped. Did they try - absolutely at LAN, but ya they could have practiced more. But an IM team that already doesn't have their heart in playing invite seeing this team lose is even more of a turn off.

I will agree with this to a point - but that was DTP's first season in IM correct? If they rode out a top seed multiple season in a row, then yes i agree they have proved themselves as not only a good team, but a team that sticks together. Then at that point they should be up for an invite vote.

Exactly my point - people shouldn't be forced to do something they don't want to. If they aren't going to enjoy it, whether its starting over with new players or being moved to a different division...it won't be fun.

Once again i agree with this to a point - if it's an IM team that has finished in the top 3 multiple seasons with the same roster then yes they need to be placed in the vote. However there's still nothing stopping them from breaking up if they don't want to play. At the same time though, who wants to pay for invite when the same 3 teams with the same mix of players dominate season after season. Once again, what's for fun some may not be fun for others..and vice versa.
