Blues are for typing.
Also, blue switches are really only good for typing...it's recommended that you stay away from them for gaming.
Decide which type of keyswitches you want.
Look here to see them explained - http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide
I suggest reds or blacks.
Reds: Linear movement, Very light, good for gaming.
Blacks: Linear movement, Heavy, good for gaming.
Browns: Click-action (you feel a click when you depress the key all the way), a middle ground of being good for gaming and typing.
Blues: Click-action, Good for typing, bad for gaming...(stay away from blues).

a few months ago, termo aka yuri (arguably the best demo in australia) made a thread about demoman movement, essentially asking b4nny and other top na demos for advice on improving movement. all the random riff raff of the na community (clearly not knowing how high a level termo played and thus assuming he was some random noob) started posting about how "HERP DERP DONT WORRY ABOUT MOVEMENT WORRY ABOUT POSITIONING, IF YOU PLAY SAFE YOU WONT DIE ANYWAYS", and the OP got massively minusfragged. what they obviously failed to realize is that if your dm is really good, you can take risks that you wouldn't otherwise be able to, and output more dmg. and, as you said, movement is a huge aspect of that. that attitude of just playing passive as demo to avoid any risks is really dumb, and I hope people have abandoned it.
That sounds like an interesting thread, did anyone give him useful feedback or were there only shitposts? If it was a good thread can you link me please?
I never realized how important movement in this game was until one day I got lucky and got to play against (read: get my ass kicked by) Enigma and Ruwin in the MGE server on Badlands middle as solly v solly. Seeing them abuse the crates and boxcarts opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of the game and now I am so much better because of that.
MaxHaxI totally agree with using some stickies in DM/MGE. I feel totally naked not using stickies and I'm honestly at a huge disadvantage. Last night due to some made up Demo guilt I tried to use only pipes against a scout in MGE. His 6 shot scattergun plus 12 pistol shots versus my 4 Pipes and a lot of running.
Just isn't fair considering I damage myself at close range and he does not. Today I played DM mod, pipes only felt a little more fair, but still soldiers are bombing and you still get double teamed by scouts, today it was sal and enigma. They aren't doing anything wrong, but I would try to use 1 sticky at most as not to feel "op" and try to even the odds. Of course all 8 stickies plus 4 pipes would still get me shit on by those two, but you get my drift. It's not how demos DM at certain ranges. At the same time, traps are retarded as well as using all 8 stickies as fast as possible.
Just my 2 cents.
Now this is a considerate demo.
My rage at sticky-abusing demos in DM only comes from those who just spam everyone with their sticks continuously. For example on badlands mid and you're fighting like two other people meanwhile some dickhead is spamming sticks at you from behind your back across the point. That is just annoying.
Though there is no doubt that demos are underpowered when all they have at their disposal is the grenade launcher, I definitely like the idea of a 2-4 sticky limit.
Yeah bro, you should use every strat in your power when you have to fight people like Enigma heh. Nothing is wrong in that scenario.
it's okay screwball, I remember my first time on the interwebs too
they should call it the 'gabestation' and use that robotic lady voice does the voice for those old commercials where she says "playstation"
damnit, can't find a video of that robot lady anywhere...tried searching youtube for "playstation intro/startup" but nothing...
Stickies in SOAP = fairy mode
brb getting a full clip after each kill...sticky launcher = easiest and highest dmg output weapon
The whole point of SOAP is to warmup/practice aim so you should only use pipes anyway.
People who use stickies in SOAP are the most annoying faggots ever.
thrasherHot dogs are fucking disgusting. Unless its an all beef angus hotdog I wouldn't touch it. I've seen how they are made. The only thing more nasty than a hotdog is fucking scrapple (anyone from the Philly/NJ are knows what I'm talking about). Scrapple is basically the shit that was too nasty to put into a hotdog, then molded into a brick and sliced up and served at breakfast. Gross.
scrapple? what you're describing sounds like spam..?
mmm angus
your struggles bring a tear to my OP
I will pour out some whisky for your potato internet connection
brownymasterSo does that mean you've never actually tried the client yet already assume it's bad?
I don't need to assume anything.

bot_tAyOdissiusyou can slice the hotdog into really thin circles and fry them in the pan, and then mix in with scrambled eggs and hot sauce.
This but without the scrambled eggs and hot sauce. Instead with mac and cheese. Sooooooooo good.
