I’ve been using Vista SP1 for ages now and love it, I just need to uninstall my current RC and put on the official build, /sigh.
He used to play on the source server with all of us.
Should’ve come to AM
. Freeman’s just a pansy and went to Ravenholdt so now you do 
So since wavedashing is gone, what’re you going to find to *edited* about and blame for your losses against them now?
First I do want to answer Mitch’s statement about the 16,000 start: that’s the new CAL standard. Everyone starts at 16,000 to start with. I don’t like it but meh.
Now to Dice:
Nothing was regulated. The CS servers weren’t VAC secured but the TF2 ones were. EASY hacks could’ve been slipped in, they don’t have to be extremely obvious for someone to use. A simple hack could be just that it aligns the crosshair onto the body or onto the head upon moving the mouse curser close to the body. Most of the teams had EVERYONE sitting next to each other and ghosting was quite prevalent amongst their teammates and peers, I noticed one guy looking across and at another monitor and then typing in their team-chat where the other team was going. Unless the environment is set and the surroundings are set to prevent ghosting then team-based gameplay is TERRIBLE for lans. If both teams were paired up against each other and no one could see the screens of the other teams, etc, then it would’ve been much better. Ghosting WAS involved HEAVILY amongst the top contending teams and I wouldn’t be surprised if more was involved as well, especially when I watched them do absolutely terrible during the warm-up and then when they switched to 1.6.
Wasn’t worth the trip, imo.
Smash tournament looked like it was extremely well ran aside from lasting for 6 hours straight, I loved how large it was and how many projectors they had set-up for everyone to play. If we had that many people and that many projectors, it would be even more amazing.
All of the console tournaments looked like they were pretty well ran and overall very successful, with games like Soul Caliber 3 having the smallest turn-out and games like CoD4 being extremely popular. The amount of TV’s and screens they had were amazing though, it seemed their amount just completely dwarfs ours.
The PC tournaments were nothing short of terrible though, as most of them didn’t even start remotely on time, much less ran and moderated well. Giving byes to teams that didn’t deserve byes and pairing WCU’s teams either up against each other to knock one out early by one of our own or up against the tournament favorite is pretty biased and *edited*ty. Their CS: S tournament was run shoddily at best, with a turnout of maybe 5 teams, 3 of which consisting of people who looked like they played 24/7 and looked sketchy at best. The TF2 tournament was run just as bad, as the WCU teams were obviously paired off against each other to ensure that it would be an App vs. WCU final. The matches were run sub-par with console commands not even known and large breaks between games given to the App St. team, even though they should have just been run back-to-back.
Decent ideas came from going to their lan though, but I don’t think I’m going again.
Registered, hopefully I can play in more tournaments since I want to play in more than I registered for!
Asked to sit with the WCU crew as well!~
Double post is double! See:
Jesus I can barely read that.
This isn’t going to effect anything with Playstation sales. It isn’t going effect Microsoft’s Xbox, as Microsoft is releasing a Blu-Ray player for the 360 in what, May? You think the only title the Wii has for it coming out that everyone is going to want is Brawl? What about Mariokart? What about WiiFit? What about plenty of other titles that TONS of people are going to want and buy because the potential with the Wii controllers is limitless? The Wii is only marketed to Children? Lol, people said this of course as well about the Gamecube, yet it still was a great console for some reason and yet games like Resident Evil still come out for the Wii.
People buy a console to play games and to be entertained. The PS3 has FAILED to become “better” than the Wii in multiple aspects, one in sales and the other in hardware. The PS3’s hardware surely is superb, but why is it that 99% of the games are absolute flops or are multiplatform titles? Why does the PS3 use the weight sensors and BlueTooth (which is mainly a Microsoft technology, btw) “better” than the Wii yet has absolutely failed in all aspects of it so far?
Out of the 8 major exclusive titles that you named, only 4 of those are titles that people are going to want and are titles that people are going to buy. Sure, half is a great number, but you have 4 titles coming out in a year versus a generous amount on both the Wii and 360 side that have already been released or are releasing in the near future such as Mariokart, Brawl, Gears of War 2, etc.
The free DVR attachment is basically going to be free for certain things, it isn’t going to be a DVR for people to use on their actual cable box. The DualShock 3 is nothing special. It’s wireless and has motion features, big whoop? Nobody has done anything with the motion yet and nobody actually wants to.
All your post has done so far is tell me that you know NOTHING about economics and especially the gaming industry, except for the fact that you’re a HUGE Sony/Playstation fanboy and luckily for you, Toshiba and HD-DVD lost the “format war” because they couldn’t sign the major production companies. I guess the makers of Blue-Ray, specifically Sony, finally learned from their mistake of Betamax back in the day.
Good job!

I need to go win the smash tourney, somebody hook me up with wheelz. I’ll paint my face again because it’s serious tiem. Matt, lets get 1-2 and take the whole pot.I’ll give you a ride if you’ll help with gas, like $5-10 will work for both going and coming back.
Already tried it at the lan, Thor. I was able to trade my keyboard for the game + $ and it was like prying a baby from their mother, so good luck!
Now everyone post your Xfire so everyone can join at the same time and play with each other!

Updated the prizes. Someone else can edit my post and add the pictures with the prizes/winners, etc if they want. If no one else does by the time they’re up then I will.
