entik's video showing the demo system looks really freaking cool. Anyone in the server can set a "marker" (think prec) for the server-side demo. Then, when someone is playing back that demo they can just type a command/press a button to go to the next marker. Plus, since the mark was probably set after the cool thing happened you can just rewind (as in, play in reverse!) the demo like it's no big deal.

This game can only last so long... There are already "perfect" (or close enough for 99.9% of players) sensors out there and those sensors are only going to get cheaper (which means good sensors even in cheap gaming mice). What I really care about now is driver software that actually does something new.

***(HINT: incorporate povohat's adjustable and configurable accel driver for starters)***

Nice Justin. Also, the trailer is on quakelive's steam store page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/282440

Mumble has automatic noise suppression which eliminates repetitive/constant background noise (aka fans and stuff) so that's why the mic sounds better in mumble. With that in mind, a significant part of that background noise could very well be your motherboard's built in audio and not the mic itself. Watch the last part of this video, starting at 2:15, to hear the difference between motherboard audio and a cheap (think $5 dollars) USB soundcard on a Sennheiser PC 230 headset.

EDIT: I didn't realize onboard audio came with built in noise suppression now, so if that's the case then listen to TechDude instead of spending money. :o

I LOVE Ficci, especially his two collabs with Laura Hahn. Put some headphones on, sit back, and drift away.

It depends on the preferences of whoever runs the server. Some people dislike sniper in DM because generally whatever team has the sniper is basically down a man in all the fights around mid and it becomes really one sided.

Try turning off any dynamic overclocking in your BIOS. (stuff like Intel Turbo Boost)

Also, if there are options for something like "cooling mode" and selections for active or passive make sure it's set to active to engage fans instead of passive which slows the CPU to regulate heat.

I can break these cuffs.

If mixup can find and replicate the confidence they had at the S15 LAN (back from the losers bracket to win two best of threes against 4G and take the title) they'll be able to make it to the main stage. However, that's a lot to ask of a team who, from what I understand, hasn't been practicing nearly as much as the other top teams.

Having said that, of the few matches I've had the chance to see so far this LAN is looking pretty incredible. Good luck to everyone there, and thanks for putting on a show.

I've been using the Comply S400 (they're the cheapest Comply tips at ~$14 for three pairs) and the Veritas mediums ($10 for four pairs). Haven't decided which I like more. The Veritas tips are a finer foam that's softer so they're more comfortable but I don't know if they will degrade faster too.

For notTF2, I honestly can't decide between The Contenders 2 and It's Pekka 2

It looked about as clear as a downloaded episode of Naruto should look, but it defaulted to the VLC webplayer plugin for me which is very clunky IMO. Pretty sure that's just dependent on the format of the video though.

Works for me.

I have them and can confirm that they are amazing, not just for the price. Combined with the foam tips of your choice they come close to what I imagine in the perfect workout IEMs: cheap, durable build, decent isolation, enhanced bass with clear everything else, and a mic with an Android remote.

I probably sound like a fanboy but man, I'm buying a backup pair right now.
