While I love the +frags and -frags here you can't deny what freshmeat is saying is true. Many people form their opinion based on the number of +frags a post has rather than the facts at hand, and that effect only snowballs the more people read and +frag(or -frag) the post.

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure there's a solution for that.

I'm not sure how many other people have this issue, but my game starts to stutter if I don't cap my fps. Once I set fps_max 132 it goes back to being silky smooth.

Just a heads up it looks like Monoprice is selling some Zowie stuff now:

AM for $46.08

EC1 EVO for $56.70

Rough/Fast mousepads for $19.20/24.00 respectively

Try HWMonitor.

I'm sorry :[ I've never used the talent(though I have the coL edition pad[lackluster]) and didn't think $6.25 off was a big deal. Is it good enough that I should replace my aging Goliathus Control?

In case anyone is interested, Puretrak is having a site-wide sale and a few things popped out to me:

PureTrak Valor Optical Gaming Mouse - 21.99

PureTrak Stealth Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad - 9.99

Does anyone have any experience with the Valor? Should I pick one up as a backup mouse?

I have no idea how you would implement this into a map aesthetically(maybe part of a fountain or something?), but a strip of water deep enough to float in with a ramp on either end(like a jump map) as part of an alternate rollout/flank or something would be awesome. You might end up having to make sure it doesn't allow soldier super jumps from anywhere but the ramp area at the end by putting some sort of block above it.

The entire map + gunboats = the greatest part of tf2

You make a fair point. The modmic may not be the perfect solution, but IMO it would be better option than spending $60 do get a decent headset with a noise cancelling mic(this is of course assuming Pling is already using a decent pair of headphones).

What kind of setup are you using right now Pling? Some information on your headphones/headset, mic, mic placement, soundcard, anything else would help us give you more accurate recommendations.

If you're currently using headphones and a desktop mic, try finding a modmic. It'll fit right onto your existing headphones and will pick up much less background noise since it's far less sensitive and closer to your mouth.

Try disabling any game profiles you might have in Logitech Setpoint/Gaming Software/Whatever it's Called Now. Those used to do some funky things back when I had a G500.

Hello everyone, bsc and I are looking for a chill team to play video games with. We'll play any class any level, so long as we can have fun doing it.

Talk to either of us here:

Personally I think everyone should work at least a year in customer service when they're young. That way, people don't grow up to be giant assholes to people employed in customer service(or just in general).

As others have said, wait and save up enough to buy a new computer(and make sure you consult here first). You'd have to upgrade essentially everything inside your computer for it to be decent.
