I either get 3-5 hours of sleep, no sleep, or over around ~11 hours of sleep (fuck yeah, weekends). Sometimes it's due to playing games for too long, but most of the time it's because I have the hardest time falling asleep. Unless I'm so sleep deprived I pass out, it normally takes me at least 3 hours to fall completely asleep. I normally just listen to music in bed or something until that happens.

I would have liked it more without the vocals, but it was pretty chill.

It's the first Witcher, which has been $10 on GOG for a long time now standard price and it gets marked down to half that whenever they have their super holiday sales.

EDIT: It's also $10 on Steam without sales. I don't know why it's considered a sale.

GIANT HALF ASSED NERD POST INCOMING

Going to add to the old games list that you should play:
Neverwinter Nights (D&D style RPG like the aforementioned titles)
Icewind Dale (^)
You said no Fallout, but if you haven't played Fallout 1 and 2 they're completely different (and much better IMO)
Warlord's Battlecry 3 (RTS with some RPG elements. Have a hero character gain levels throughout the story and find equipment, choose one out of a bunch of races, cool stuff.)
Ultima VII (old as fuck point and click RPG, it's still sick though.)
System Shock 2 (If you like Bioshock's atmosphere it's a sure pickup. Plays more like the original Deus Ex than Bioshock though.)

Ignore all these titles if really old graphics and/or bad resolution options without mods are unplayable by your standards. Newer games that are good are:

Shogun 2 is really fun, you can be a videogame metsuke with bsc and I.
Witcher 2 is probably one of the best modern RPG's out there IMO. Witcher 1 is great too but falls more in the first category of old-ish games.
Dragon Age: Origins might actually contest for that. I spent so many hours in that game, if you're looking for a game that's easy to be immersed in play that one. DA2 is shit don't buy it.
Mount & Blade: Warband I found to be really fun with the army building aspect. I find all melee combat games to be really clunky and this one is no exception, but it was still a lot of fun. Warband is the best of the 3, it gives a lot more features than the first game, and doesn't fuck up the entire atmosphere and balance by adding guns that can randomly end the game for you.
Penumbra and Amnesia are a legitimately entertaining experience if you haven't watched the game to death already through all the fucking let's plays full of people screaming.
STALKER is a fun post apocalyptic shooter. Think of like Fallout 3 but less Bethesda.
All the THIEF games are fun. First 2 are really old though. I saw that they're making a new one, so you might want to try playing those to get you hyped for it.

It's a lot of fun.

Series I like:
A Song of Ice and Fire
The Stormlight Archive
Mistborn
Dune
The Kingkiller Chronicle
obligatory LOTR

So many pirates.

Can't you use the same vague answer for everyone? Practice more DM, watch more demos, scrim more, etc.

EDIT: That being said pls do me

I have the same problem with Dallas servers in particular. I live in Washington and I get around 70 ping or so to Chicago and 100 ping to Dallas.

Is this only happening for you guys recently? I've only played for about an hour or so after the latest update, but I only receive items after death still.

Playground Tactics went up 4-0 on Crunchy Bunch, they then drop a player and proceed to lose the next 5 rounds because they were playing 5v6.

UT99 was like the first shooter I ever got into, so this looks really appealing to me. I can't judge right off the bat but having a game where every weapon is explosive might get repetitive for me, though.

DDoS is super easy to prove. You type netstat -ano in command prompt and you can tell in 2 seconds when you're being flooded by a foreign ip. What's harder to prove is to backtrace which individual is doing it - which almost doesn't even matter. You confirmed you were DDoS'ed and it was during an ESEA match, you've never been DDoS'ed before. It's not a coincidence.

Assuming the people aren't pinging you from their own location like idiots, you can still probably all see if it's the same person DDoS'ing. Just make netstat logs and share them with the community (don't show all connections, just the one in question) or on a one-on-one basis.

Like you said though, we can't go back in time to make logs of the event. Even still, DDoS is pretty easy to spot on the receiving end, especially if you normally don't have internet issues. It's pretty safe to assume it's not a coincidence.
