I'm not on here that often anymore, and seeing this thread title when I happened to be taking a gander made me like ಠoಠ . . .

Very cool that to hear he's getting back into it; he's a fun guy to talk to. Will give you moral support if you're having beardicidal thoughts.

Last season, open finals. Most of you probably remembered what happened to the servers and all the excruciating crap that went on. When it came down to the last map - I became the target of the dos attacks and well... it's all water under the bridge now.

But anyway, myself and most of my teammates had to pay for another full month of premium only to play the finals. Despite the fact that killing and kalkin both promised that everything they could do to prevent anymore attacks was being done, it wasn't enough and we ended up having to play the finals off-client.

Even though they promised us it wouldn't happen again after the first scheduled matches were cancelled due to ddos attacks - it didn't happen.

And, even though we had to play the finals off-client and esea literally provided nothing of use for those matches (other than the prize money) we didn't get a refund, or a freemium code, or anything like that.

And to top it off, I got charged for another month of premium after all that, because I had pretty much tried my best to forget about the whole thing and let it go. Shouldn't have forgotten that though, the 8 bucks actually sent that account into over draft.

I understand that ESEA has a policy to not refund premium, but I really think they should have let that one slide.

I know most of you don't like me and probably think that's funny, but just thought I would add my 2 cents.

at this rate we'll have healing stats by 2017

New cpu.

Wait really? It does less damage now?

Edit: fuck, they did. But what exactly does reduced damage from 75 to 50 mean?

Is this a bad time to ask if anyone else uses the date format seen in this threads title.

Thank you

See post #4

Nope. This started happening when I launched tf2 after the halloween update.

Okay so I'm adding a post because I found something really strange and interesting. This might be useful information though, because what I'm seeing means that these errors might not be caused by the hud [broeselhud].

So let me just give you a comprehensive example of my observations.

launch tf2
join any server
for this example, say I join an mge server.
mge spawns you as scout in most arenas when you first add up
firing any gun as scout yields no errors in console
switch to soldier
fire a rocket = a large (but one time only) page(s) of console errors appears.
-so it appears that firing a projectile makes the errors pop up

but here's the weird part

So by default, my rocket launcher is bound to q, and when I press q, it turns off viewmodels.

If I press mwheeldown, it will toggle my viewmodel on

If my viewmodel is on, the console does not stop producing the multitude of errors.

As soon as I toggle the viewmodel back on, the flood of errors only appears for a moment -- what seems to be roughly aligned with the duration of the rocket launcher's animation/sound when +attack is returned.

Hope that wasn't too boring and long.

I'm not getting the best performance since seeing these errors but I'm not sure that it's more than placebo.

I would really prefer to keep phong on. Hopefully there is a better fix.

EDIT: I turned phong back on, and the errors are still occurring just as much.

anyone else getting this error nonstop like crazy barrage of console pages?

Wait a second. Valve actually added passive reload for medic.

I simply can't believe this. Unpossible.

must test now.

Having a custom rom is an amazing, incredible thing.

For one, almost every carrier includes a crap load of bloatware apps and bullshit that you will never use or need, and makes it impossible to get rid of. For me, this alone is enough to want my own custom rom.

But you also have the benefits of being able to completely customize your phone to your liking. From the UI itself, to how the hardware performs, you have control of everything.

Google has removed a lot of nice apps from the market, like adaway for example. But with a rooted phone, you can easily sideload the app and then install adaway to get all ads off your phone. That means that even when you have a FREE version of an app that comes with ads - you get the benefits of the PAID version of the app (no ads.)

That's just one example of the benefits of rooting.

Rooting/ removing security, and installing a new rom isn't the most fun process, but the thing is, you do it one time, then you're done. Once you've done it one time, it's like riding a bike if you ever need to do it again.

Now to answer your question: "is it worth it." This is only something you can answer. Honestly I don't see why anyone who has an android wouldn't want to. Sure you MIGHT void your warranty, sure you MIGHT have to learn a few new things about your phone, but IMO, the benefits outweigh the cost.

Just use notepad++ it's the best global file editor.
