This community is too great.

Shoutout to the people who watch the streams and support the people volunteering their time to make free content. I know there can be drops in quality when talent leaves the scene, but I'm super proud and impressed by all the new casters and producers we've brought onto NA casts this season. Stepping up to take over the scheduling position has been stressful at times, but the community's support and the people I get to work with make it absolutely worth it.

We still have over a month of NA games to cover this season, so still lots more to do :)

Good news: I have updated my BIOS to the latest possible version!

Bad news: The latest possible version was P02-A2. The version I was originally trying to upgrade to (P03-A3) was not compatible with my old BIOS version (P02-A0)

More bad news: My computer still won't start while my new CPU is in. The one time I tried it, it didn't beep or anything like before, it would just attempt to start, and then after half a second shut down. Then a few seconds later try again with the same result. This repeated until I unplugged my PC.

Just to restate so nobody has to scroll around looking for it, I have an Acer M3970, and the new CPU I bought was an Intel i7-3770. Also I don't think I've mentioned it yet because I don't think it's relevant, but the cooler that came with my new CPU doesn't fit into my motherboard, so I've just been using the same CPU cooler with both the CPUs)

We'll probably cover evl vs apeK instead, but I'll confirm when I get home

e: New game for tonight: http://www.teamfortress.tv/39787/esea-s24-w5-evl-gaming-vs-six-apes

The final part of this event starts at 5pm EST on both Saturday and Sunday, while the New Map Cup doesn't start until 6:30pm EST.

Nope, still on P02-A0. The first time I tried it, I was literally just about to head to bed, so I guess it's possible I did something different and that's why it worked? Honestly I can't remember it that well, but I'm pretty sure I was able to put in the /p /b /n /r commands without an error message before (although nothing happened when I did)

So the night you posted, I tried redownloading it and I was able to run the /p /b /n /r commands just fine, didn't bother trying anything more because I thought redownloading had worked, and I could finish updating my bios the next day, but ever since then I've just been getting the error every time I try the commands. I've redownloaded it again and again, tried it every way I can think of, and I still get the "problem opening file for reading" error.

How's everyone else's resolution going this far into the year?

Nobody ever did them last season, and this season when I took over it wasn't something I was told how to do. I was actually planning on playing around with it tomorrow, although I'm not sure the website will work with ESEA stats.

Alright, feels like it's time to work on this again. When I try typing all what you suggested in, I get the error "Problem opening file for reading" Any ideas or suggestions?

Here's a picture of what I tried: http://imgur.com/337ZWw9

I get the same error if I try it without the /x, or if I add capitals in the same spots as you did.

Sources say that Jarret payed with an e-check, so this match will likely not be happening tonight. We'll try to cover an IM match or something else instead.

Edit: as saam said, the e-check went through, so we will still be covering this match!

My bad, rosters didn't like that Froyo only had 5 players. I've put paddie back in as a placeholder until we know who their 6th will be.

Hey guys, teamfortress.tv is looking to continue our IM coverage this season, are there any specific games for week 1 you think we should cover? Unfortunately we can't cover all the good IM games, because Invite has to take priority, but on days without any good invite matches, it would be nice to know what games the people want to watch.

This goes for future weeks too, if anyone wants to add me and then just recommend IM games every week, I'll gladly listen. I have a pretty decent idea of which teams are good, and which teams are not, but there's bound to be teams that I misjudge or don't notice.

Lord of the Flies is a super boring book until the last quarter where shit gets ramped up to 11 real quick and the kids...

To Kill a Mocking Bird is pretty good, plus I had a buddy write an essay about how Boo Radley is secretly gay, and how the whole book is a metaphor for him coming out of the closest. I think he got a decent mark from it too because he backed it up pretty well.

Everything by Shakespeare was long, boring, and confusing, but Midsummer Night's Dream was by far the worst.

I have a cook book I'm working through.

Currently waiting on Amazon to ship some wasabi powder to make some Asian popcorn :)

I honestly hate cereal.
