Ronit should not be allowed near any motor vehicle.

Tangerine. Not sure if there are m(any). I'm always the last one awake.

I watch every game, I try to get to a few each year - been to three this season. I haven't been to a playoff game since 2009, they're expensive. Sharp is great, last night was fun to watch - surprised Roy didn't pull Giguere sooner considering the hissy fit he threw in Montreal. Also, would be tragic if Sharp isn't in Sochi, he deserves a spot.

I don't play MGE.

Too many to pick one. I will say that by far the most entertaining tf2 matches are on koth and a/d style maps. I think on every single push map all the same rules apply, there's no real varying strategy or unique style - scrimming becomes boring/redundant. Badlands: go valley or house -> push side of spire/climb spire -> push lower main/upper left into last. It's been that day since day one and not much has changed, very rare to offclass, etc. I think if you had to cap gravelpit in order A -> B-> C it would be more interesting and decrease the luck factor.

Same goes for Quake, too many to pick. I think the most entertaining tournament was at Quakecon in 2007. It was called Quad Damage, check it out on youtube.

I'm not sure it has, but I've certainly come into contact with many people I would consider real friends.

Almost everyday, certainly every work day.

This Is Spinal Tap.

Quake suffers from two big problems: Skill ceiling and player base spread across multiple quakes/mods/knockoff games. I'm not sure if rapha ever tried tf2, he likely has very briefly. I don't know what he's playing, I know that most of the Quake players just train for about 2 weeks or so before a big LAN and then barely play between then, if at all. I play BF4, that's about it.

He was bored of the game, not much has changed in TF2. Having a serious look at class restrictions/unlocks/map rotation is more important than people think. Lots of top players are quitting, and while other players can always slide in to give the appearance of stability at the highest level, they aren't really filling their shoes.

Strengths: At the risk of sounding conceited, I think I'm a relatively intelligent guy.
Weaknesses: Balancing my competitive nature with a casual and teetering apathetic approach to video games, or at least the outcome.

I couldn't pick one, I've had a blast at every LAN I've attended with all my teammates. So rather than pick a favorite teammate, I'll just say Season 6 and Season 13 were probably the most fun I had at LAN. Also, TheFragile came to chicago last month for a weekend, good times. Here's a picture I took of him at the top of the Willis Tower, 1400 feet.

In college, I really liked Organic Chemistry. High School, I don't know - Art Classes probably. I ate at a restaurant in Boston called Neptune that was really good.

Circumcised, wouldn't do it to my kids though.

I watch hockey, rugby and soccer. Broncos vs Eagles would probably be the most entertaining though.

The best way to be consistent is to execute things you have complete control over correctly, e.g. hitting tab a lot, keeping track of ubers, good comms - not useless white noise. Also, I think anticipation is the most important aspect of the game, it applies to everything.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time..I probably beat that game 3-4 times in middle school. As far as PC goes, I really don't play single player games. I beat Quake 1, Quake 2, Half Life 2, Portal, Battlefield 4..I think that might be it.

Seafood, I ate like a king on my trip to Boston. I live really close to Goose Island, I don't drink it as often as I used to because they were bought out by Anheuser Busch. You should try out pretty much anything from Lagunitas, Half Acre, New Glarus, Pipeworks, Two Brothers, Revolution..

I always sign weapons, anyone can add me. I answered earlier about playing in the future, you can read the previous posts if you'd like to know - and check out my dog.

DaHanG asked me to teach him/play around season 6 I believe. He prefers playing on teams than dueling, but that's all that's popular in Quake competitively. He played a few scrims/pubs as scout, he did pretty good. Then QuakeCon announced CTF so he got his teamplay fill, and he was busy with school so he didn't want to split his time between multiple games.

I think pyro airblast is broken. Not sure why teams don't pocket a pyro for uber vs uber defensively the majority of the time, but I refuse to do it - same reason I didn't use Bonk or play Heavy.

I think 'zis is rapha' is my best video. I think the flow/pacing/sync was done well, I just make frag videos that I like to watch. I'm not impressed by a ton of effects, I like to do a bunch of subtle/smooth things throughout the video that make it feel like they were meant to be together. I also really try to avoid using fast forward, slow motion to sync stuff, this helps with the feeling that the clips/song were meant for each other rather than forced (see: the second example I give below). To me it's like putting together a puzzle, finding when/where to put clips in the song. I spend a lot of time trying to put everything in the correct order to match the type of frag/cam with the tempo of the song, sync, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojR_qedzzK8

I think 2:00 to roughly 3:00 or so is a good example, everything has a purpose - all the transitions are smooth..even the lyrics "what did you expect to find..?" right as he turns the corner to see cypher, just subtle stuff.

Another example is the clip at 5:02. The song settles down into first person, then syncs the first rail, the pacing of the song picks up when he rocket jumps to chase for a kill, syncs on the second rocket jump and a sync on the rail kill.

That's probably a much more elaborate answer than you wanted, but I'm done rambling now.

Is that a rhetorical question?

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens

My day has been progressively better, antihistamines are amazing.

My first ESEA LAN was fun, it was really interesting meeting so many people you knew but have never seen, all at once. Kermit dodged hours before our flights, so we posted a thread on gotfrag asking if anyone in Dallas could play. Some young stud named Dante 'shade' Funari answered the call and the rest is history. I think all the players at the first LAN were: cyzer, casey, reptile, davis(rip destro), phelon, syckness, oplaid, pokey, seagull, sequel, dummy, grieve, justin, fanom, shade, tlr, ww, fragile, carnage, animeman, relic, pyyyyour, solidsnake, jaeger. 2/24 players still play invite, rip.

That's too broad of a question to answer, if you want to know about a specific class, it would help me narrow it down.

As far as becoming one of the best players, I think it's really important to have a knowledge of all the classes, playing them at a high competitive level, not just pubbing/pugging. All of the best players in the game could play invite on any class. I also think quality is more important than quantity. I barely have over 2,000 hours on this game, but it's probably 70% invite scrims/matches, 20% pubs/pugs, 10% idling hats. I think I have a good understanding of the game because of this, and more time spent would just be getting my aim to where it can be, which I don't because I'm lazy and like riding others coattails. :>

I don't know, I'll ask someone who has them.

I'm more of an eggs/bacon kind of guy.

DaHanG is the best overall FPS player I've played with/against.

Any teammate I've played with at LAN, they're all fun people. To give you some perspective on what invite TF2 currently is, here's a list of players that I played on a team with at LAN that don't currently play invite. fragile, shade, ww, fanom, kermit(lol), orzo, saber07, ruwin(lol), carnage, relic, oplaid, sweater, ryanr, dummy, pyyyyour, seanbud, zbryan. I think all those players are still upper invite caliber too, which is sad for tf2 :<.

There are two heavies at dropdown. Two.

I played a lot of Quake 2 at the highest level in duel/tdm/ctf/ca.

It's a team game, but I don't think there's a scout that stands out above everyone else this season of invite.

It certainly can be.

Ferrari 250 GT SWB

Chicago, IL.

I don't think so.

It's all relative.

I use Community HUD and G400.

Scout is the fastest/least boring. I (still) don't understand the point of -AA- and I was never asked.

I think Mousesports 2008 was really well made, especially for it's time, even though I think CS is awful. Other than that, anything by entik/subtitled (decap is shit).

The very first ESEA TF2 LAN (Season 5), everyone was set up and it was Pandemic vs coL on viaduct. Brad came over to me right before we started and was joking about how I might hit a few headshots on him. The very first shot of the match was a headshot on him, dunked on.

Do you mean ESEA? If so, specify and I'll answer. Otherwise my first LAN was Showdown LAN 2008 in Peoria, IL. I picked up TecH at the airport, he was the first person I ever met from the internet. It was a BYOC and his case was cracked from the flight. So when we got to the hotel we plugged it in to make sure it worked and his fans blew about a pound of cigarette ashes everywhere, it was disgusting. At the actual LAN there was a 5v5 TF2 tournament. I played with TecH, Nightmare`HX and two guys from BB (Bukkake Baptism, still one of the best team names). We played against BB in the finals and won $1200 processors. We had asked oPlaiD to play with us, but he was in the COD4 tournament and thought he was going to win the same prize, but he got 2nd and won some $50 computer case.

I do. I can. He lives about 20 minutes from me.

What makes anyone interested in anything? I'm not sure how to answer that, I've always enjoyed watching frag videos and it's not difficult to get into. It's just something I do for fun.

I listen to so much music it would be impossible to answer that honestly. These artists always seem to make it into my rotation though: lcd soundsystem / tycho / phantogram / tom day / yppah / emancipator / bonobo.

I'm always open to playing, I thought I would be this season. If the opportunity presents itself then I will, but I don't actively seek teams. I just enjoy playing with people I like.

I think the risk/reward calculations are better understood. In some aspects the game has been sped up because people understand their advantages better. On the flip side, those advantages are often defensive ones.

I do know who bookshe1f is, but I'm not sure he wants his identity revealed.

I knew immediately what happened, believe it or not I was aiming at the medic. I didn't know if it went through tri's legs or not - we loaded up the demo right after the match and watched it with everyone at like 5% speed, it was pretty funny.

I think if both teams play to their full potential, mixup will win.

Ass.

TF2 isn't going anywhere, it's free to play and has a massive player base with no similar games coming out to directly compete with it in the foreseeable future. Also, competitive TF2 is a lot bigger than meets the eye. There's just a huge division of players across esea, cevo, ugc, mlg, 6v6, 8v8 (used to be), 9v9, etc. which I think is the major issue, and seems to be overlooked by everyone.

I'm 6'4" and 230 lbs, how far could you throw me?

I often wear hats when playing, although I think I only wore that to one LAN.

None.

It's Friday - about half of my office was gone, watched a lot of documentaries at work.

I think the leagues are an irrelevant platform, the people are what make it successful. Splitting the community even further is risky, but so is putting all your eggs in one basket. CEVO will be as successful as people want it to be.

Pumpkin.

I have no idea, I'll try to think of something.

Meet up with Bill Murray.

I didn't know Baby Gap custom tailored jackets.

I'm a bit sick, staying in tonight. Ask me anything - real life, tf2, whatever.

sounds familiar..

just trying to play some video games boys.

People keep posting about how TF2 lighting and colors are perfect and no one should use color correction. You need to use some form of color correction if you want to mimic vanilla colors, during the dubbing/encoding process information is lost and the colors are dulled.

Now it's a corrupt client and shit admins. 8)

- On or about April 3, 2013, ESEA, through its employees, further created code to
monitor the programs that ESEA end-users ran on their computers, even when those end-userswere not using ESEA services and the ESEA Software was not turned on ("ESEA Monitoring
Code").

- To play on ESEA hosted game servers, end-users must download and install
ESEA Software onto their computers. Once installed, the ESEA Software enables ESEA full
administrative access of end-users' computers.

- At least defendants Hunczak and Thunberg had fuIl administrative access to all
end-users' computers. The ESEA Software enabled Defendants to not only monitor end-user
computer activity but also view and upload any and all end-users' computer files.

- The ESEA Monitoring Code monitored computer activity even
when end-users were not using ESEA services and the ESEA Software was not turned on. ESEA
concealed the ESEA Monitoring Code in the ESEA Software driver on end-users' computers.
ESEA also programed the ESEA Software to reload the ESEA Monitoring Code even if end-users attempted to "unload" the driver.

- Prior to implementation, Thunberg approved the ESEA Monitoring Code and
allowed the ESEA Monitoring Code to be place on end-users' computers via the ESEA
Software.

- In at least several instances, ESEA employees used the ESEA Software to copy
files from ESEA end-users' computers.

- Once executed and running on end-users' computers, the ESEA Bitcoin Mining
Code was set to mine for bitcoins only when end-users' were away from their computer. Among
other methods, the code detected whether end-users were active on their computers by
monitoring end-users' mouse movements and/or mouse location.

- Defendant Hunczak created at least four bitcoin wallet addresSes where he
deposited bitcoiàs mined from the ESEA Botnet.

- Defendant Hunczak then sold the bitcoins from the ESEA Botnet, converting the
bitcoins into U.S. dollars. The proceeds were then deposited into Hunczak's personal bank
account.
