AWW what about me!! I said that and he was just repeating me with more words!! =)

In all honesty, the map changes mean very little if anything at all. Just need to adapt to a new feature on the map.

My only problem with this update is the scout. They get these buffs and the class did not need to be buffed any more.

Agreed, finding better EU scouts is much more difficult.

I think the 2 worst mistakes beginners make are:

#1 - Getting overwhelmed with information about nutrition or exercise routines/machines they should buy. Most times these things are a major turnoff to a typical person who is just trying to get started. You look at all this information and preparation and you instantly think of all the work ahead and it can turn people off very quickly. Just think about starting slowly and gradually increasing your working and fine tuning your nutrition as you progress. These things cannot happen in the first week.

#2 - Trying to do fitness routines such as DVD's on the first day, when the body is not ready to do them at that moment For a beginner, there is no better way to get prepared for a regular routine schedule than by starting the first 2 weeks doing nothing but resistance workouts. What I mean by that is using your own bodyweight only. No weights, no Kettlebells, etc. Pushups, situps, planks, etc. The first 1 to 2 weeks should be about preparing your body to jump into a weekly routine.

The last thing I'll add without sounding too boring is that I believe working out should not be a part-time thing. It should be a lifestyle change as well. With any change like that, you need to commit to it and stick to the commitment. Being motivated to workout is all mental. If you REALLY want results, you need to push yourself mentally. The mind will make the body work, trust me. It all starts in your head.

Still fragging, still improving.
I'm so old.

As of tonight, I increased my DPI on my mouse from the lowest setting 2 notches higher. I am not sure of the value but it should be over 1000 at this point.

I only experienced stuttering once tonight. I played in about 10 different serves. It happened on a DM server and it was not as bad and unplayable as before. It looks and felt like an improvement. I guess more time and testing will tell.

I use a logitech G400 mouse so the polling rate by default is ether 500 or 1000. I think both values are high enough if I understand correctly.

I have an nvidia card but I have not really thought about switching over to lightboost. I may go that route as a last resort.

Which ESEA teams are going to the i49 games?

Honestly, if you are into RPG's that are not all about "eye candy" you will find the Geneforge games to be incredibly rewarding and fun. Geneforge 2 in particular was one of my favorite games of all time.

I still play today just to create something different with my characters. The game's endings are based on your character choices throughout the game so it can be a different ending almost every time you win the game.

Sorry to be ignorant but when you refer to LAN, you are talking about i49 right?

I do not play in windowed mode. Widescreen with 16:9

I had no idea your DPI could play a factor. I happen to use the lowest setting DPI for my mouse, 400. I had trouble tweaking my sensitivity at higher DPI settings. I couldn't get the feel just right for RJing. Either I would turn too much or too slowly.

However, I will try this and if it fixes the stuttering problem, I will put in more time to find the sensitivity to move normally.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Predator 2

An advanced species with crazy technology, a cloaking field, training and instinct to hunt and kill.......however he can't frag Danny Glover.

I have played in a lot of large 32 man games since my monitor switch and I have never experienced stuttering in those pubs.

The only time I stutter is in smaller games like 6's scrims and DM servers. This stuttering does not happen that often, maybe 20% of the time.

Originally I had my FPS MAX set to 0. I could get upwards of 500 fps at times. Since then I changed it to 350. As I walk around the map and the FPS changes, could a drastic change in FPS cause stuttering?

If I have to set my FPS MAX, what should the value be? I run a new computer with a good graphic's card and the 144hz monitor.
