No, because you aren't introducing anything foreign. Think of it like a script; it's in the game, so it's okay.

After looking at this, it's looks like a problem on their (server's) side. You're getting out of your ISP's network just fine.

I think it's just a waiting game. Maybe tomorrow or even sooner it'll go back to normal.

So it looks like you start having issues at hop 8 and possibly 9. Are those results more or less consistent when you run more traceroutes on the same server?

It looks like you did a traceroute on the Virginia server.

You can if you'd like, just be sure to remove your IP address from the output. It should be the 2nd hop, right after your local address (which is probably in the 192.168.*.* range).

It sounds like some odd routing issues with your ISP. See what trip your packets take by running a traceroute to the Phoenix server you're talking about. If it moves all around the country instead of taking a somewhat straight trip to your destination (because you're close) then be prepared to call.

A day before the start of the tournament, it will turn into 9v9 class limit 1, and then we'll all realize we got baited into a HL tournament.

I'd say try verifying your game cache.

Right click CS:GO -> Properties -> LOCAL FILES -> "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE"

Equally Hillary could allow the deaths of American citizens in Benghazi while knowing about the attacks before hand, Bill could have an affair and be accused of raping many women and her supporters would still shit on Trump mindlessly.

Will be interesting to see what happens this Sunday. I think Trump really needs to step his game up from the last debate in order to turn some heads his way. Clinton came off much more experienced in debates which makes a lot of sense considering her history. Unfortunately both side's supporters are stuck in echo chambers and just discard criticisms thrown at their favorite candidate, but this seems to happen more with Hillary.

Supporters of Trump tend to be much more enthusiastic and in general older than supporters of Clinton. Look at Trump's rallies compared to her's. It's interesting because people see crazy amounts of Trump hate and Hillary support online but the question is will that translate into real life voters?

On a side note, does it make anyone else cringe when they see a 12 year old with a Donald Trump avatar in pubs?

My Pandora station that I use to play TF2 with plays a lot of Nu-jazz and hip-hop instrumentals with little to no lyrics.

Some basic things that people tend to forget:

Make sure your drivers are up to date. If they are unstable or don't work well on your machine look up the best driver for your card/chip.
Since you're on a laptop, make sure your power settings are set to "High Performance" and not "Power Saver".

Take a look at Cowmanglia's config linked above. As well as that, consider installing the no hats mod.

Never wondered what that whole
