pre-ordered the orange box and started playing the midnight of the release for the tf2 beta.. and im still playing 7 years later. its been really interesting watching the game change as well as people's/team's play styles.

how would I go about checking that?

Ever since about a month ago I started crashing in CS:GO. It started occurring around the time the game was updated but I am no longer convinced it has to do with the game since it is happening in TF2 now as well. I have tried drivers 320.49 340.something and the newest 344 drivers. It will work for a while sometimes but then I just crash and after I have the first crash, I seem to repeatedly crash.

I get a black screen and since I changed my TdrDelay registry it has made it so my computer doesn't crash and I can alt tab back in to the game sometimes. Although I often get low fps again after alt tabbing. My sound also crashes almost every single time as well (I have an audio interface, which I have to reset to get sound back).

There was a point where I was just crashing to a black screen and my computer would not even boot past the windows screen until I uninstalled the drivers. The only thing I got to fix it one time was resetting the CMOS.

I don't know how to fix this but it's really frustrating. My card is only 10 months old :(

Please help!

not taking away from the fact that american jerks won because they deserved every bit of their win but they were basically playing a different team. candle didnt show up who is our roamer and i had to roam and leaky filled in on scout. this is a lineup we've never even tried so we were a little all over the place. i'd like to think it would have been closer with our regular line up but who knows.

I keep randomly timing out of servers in the middle of the game and then I can't even reconnect for a while. I can connect to every other server fine. I've also been having trouble loading youtube videos in my browser lately too if that helps the case.

I've tried flushing my DNS which has worked but other times it hasn't. Tried resetting my pc, tf2 and my router. Any ideas what might be causing this?

whats wrong with post rock? :(

i prefer more of the post-rock "heaviness" like This Will Destroy You, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, etc.

probably not what you meant but these bands can get just as heavy as metal.

p.s. this will destroy you is coming out with a new album in like a month

im also looking for a team to scout/soldier for

solid scout and sniper who is actually a really easy going guy. i get he ran sniper a lot but i dont understand why thats grounds to call him shit and hate him. its a video game and what he does in pugs occasionally doesnt make him a shitty person/player nor does it mean he will play like that in scrims.

yeah im also very confused by the -frags. solid scout that can definitely play in IM and is a very nice guy.

finally coming to a LAN. I could probably drive someone from Ottawa if I'm feeling up to it

ambient/post rock type stuff :

every gaming headset ive ever bought or tried is terrible. I would recommend spending more money and getting a better quality pair of headphones that will last you a while.

go buy yourself a sennheiser/shure/audio technica/AKG pair of headphones. unless you plan on just using these for gaming, I would recommend buying a good quality pair of headphones. you would not believe how bad the quality of sound coming out of low end headphones is until you buy a good pair.

http://www.amazon.com/AKG-Signature-Reference-Class-Premium-Headphones/dp/B004444O46 one of the best pairs you will get for the price (I realize it's not cheap which is what you asked for)

do you guys use the double thumb technique?
