I thought smaka used gunnars to help reduce eyestrain/the impact of his color blindness. Maybe he'll make an appearance here.

kirby meant to type r_drawviewmodel 1/0 not viewmodel_fov 1/0, although you can try playing around with the viewmodel_fov to make the weapon further away(a higher value) or make tracers disappear(a value of 0).

Scroll down till you see your price range and click on it. I have the AD700s and while they are far and away the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, they come at a price(and lack any isolation whatsoever). For a first dip into real headphones, I've heard very very good things about the Superlux heeadphones.

I don't know how the highlander community handles scrims but I know for 6v6 scrims are generally arranged through IRC. One player from a team will advertise on #tf2scrim saying they're looking to scrim another team on their level("6v6 mid open cp_badlands" or something similar) and someone from another team will see that, respond to them on IRC, exchange server info, and play.

To add to that, use atf2.org for IRC. It makes connecting to the necessary channels literally effortless. All you have to do is type your name and hit connect.

keep in mind that if you're running windowed/noborder you'll want to turn off Windows Aero so your fps doesn't dip even more.

I'm pretty sure there was an update to the ESEA client like a year ago that made it automatically disable plugins.

Also, hooray!

OK so Mechanicsburg is actually only 3 hours away so that makes this much more plausible. If I can get a group of friends to go I'll be going 100%.

I would love to go to this(and Pittco) but driving 7 hours all alone kind of sucks. Would it be possible to get a list of people attending the event?

Unless the angle snapping is seriously intrusive, I doubt it will effect your aim much. I used a Zowie EC1 for a while and didn't ever notice angle snapping in game.
