I like knives...

I'm about to pick one up just because it's so damn cheap. My FK is in fairly good condition still after a year, but why not bite the bullet @ $30. Worst case scenario I have a backup mouse haha.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkk

I believeeeeeeeeee

Boy that overpass was close, C9 beat Envyus on dust2 lets see if they can pull off something similar.

Best sensor on the market, kind of an odd shape though. It's fairly popular in the CS community, but I personally haven't seen it too much in the TF2 scene.

I've heard that only rocket jumping is fixed? Everything else like sentry jumping, sticky jumping, etc is still broken.

Recently came across this "Speed by Surface" mousepad on amazon for $13.

About an average price for a mousepad, but the kicker is that it's a full aluminum pad with a rubber packing which makes it an absolute steal at $13. I originally ordered it considering how cheap it was but I am very surprised by the quality and feel of the pad. It's my first hard pad transitioning from a PureTrak Stealth but it is very nice and has a decent size (14in x 11in) as well.

Setsul is right, the Realtek chips are pretty bad.

You can get around it by buying a cheap USB sound card for $5. It'll remove all the white noise in your ModMic or any analog mic and make them much louder.

You have a decent amount of options @ $60.

The two most recommended for that price range will be the ModMic and the Blue Snowball though. Just depends on what you're lookin' for at this point.

Tyrone works for iBuyPower now if we're talking about occupations, and iirc he said he talked about him leading competitive TF2 teams to help him get the job.

Going to play devil's advocate here in the whole DDOSing thing. KND wants their matches removed from saloon.tf and it's understandable seeing how one of their players got DDOS'd and that might've cost them their match.

That being said, betting is going to be big in getting viewership for TF2 games and if you want the game to grow, protecting yourself from DDOS attacks will be a necessary evil (not streaming, not giving out skypes, going offline, etc.)

Many of us here on TF.TV play CS:GO and that game grew MASSIVELY from the creation of csgolounge; people watched the games because they had something personally invested in it. A bunch of shitty things came out of it like teams losing out matches due to individual DDOSing, but most pros protect themselves now and the game is bigger than ever. We are TF2 players, and aren't getting paid salaries, but you are still playing at the highest level of your respective game and you should protect yourself to a certain extent. I've already said this, but keeping your matches on Saloon.tf will be big in getting viewership numbers for TF2. I don't even know if asking to have your matches removed will even do it, but please try to keep yourself on saloon.tf for the game and protect yourselves from attacks.

tl;dr betting is going to be huge for tf2 and its growth, please protect yourselves from ddos attacks

This is fairly important for helping casting organizations as well. ESL doesn't allow any of their players to stream CS:GO matches afaik and that helps streams reach massive numbers instead of being spread out over 4-5 streams (not that most CS pros would even stream matches to begin with). Having huge viewership numbers can only lead to more viewers even if it's just from a curious twitch browser seeing a TF2 stream with a thousand viewers. I know b4nny does the streaming thing as a job, but having one unified stream could really help out the scene too imo.
