Temporary setup until I get an LCD 120 Hz. (I like having space, and the resolution is too small). This CRT is 100 Hz.

All of those papers are college stuff that I haven't looked through yet.

Yes, there's a lot of wires on top of them.

Yes, my desk is messy.

also I need a new chair

After a haircut on the 5th.

well it is a CS clone

Gully was horrible to watch until later on in the 2nd half. Still never got anywhere close to as amazing as the first.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO AMAZING

There are some unofficial ESEA configs, but they just go straight through the game instead of stopping for halftime. CEVO configs probably are better though, as I'm sure they do include halftime.

OK, I finally was able to try a 100 Hz CRT.

It's amazing. Everything is just smoother. I'm going to be using this for a while.

Sadly, the thing is just so large! The monitor is as far back as it can go and it's pretty much in my face. Also, I have to use 800x600 if I want to use 100 Hz. I guess out of game I could use 85...

Edit: If you have the money, buy a LCD 120 Hz monitor.

HRG
mix^
FT
CC

I predict a fairly close LAN between HRG/Mix^ and FT/CC.

And Obama needs to sign it too for it to become law, or passes with a 2/3 majority in Congress.

so IDK if this is an MGE bug, Sourcemod bug, or a Sizzling Stats bug, but on the server for New Map Pugs, configs do not fully apply after changing the map. Not only is this an inconvenience, but it also (from what I've heard) breaks STVs.

ggglygy reigns supreme

If Valve wants to support competitive TF, they'll need to make TF3 first. It's too late to actually solidify TF2 as a competitive game, so it's pointless trying to make it make money for Valve.

I would say the ideal PUG system would be one that's a combination of TF2Lobby and the current PUG channels.

You would have official "channels" that are for PUGs/mixes meant for certain skill levels, and then the user PUGs/mixes/lobbies. PUGs would be the standard captain system, mix would be like normal (non-captain) tf2mix, and lobbies would just be like TF2Lobby.

In addition, it would be best to make an in-browser VoIP program of some sort. This is what EA did with Battlefield (while it is EA, it makes sense for our purposes). This would (hopefully) allow for the benefits of Mumble without the hassle of having new players set it up, at most you'd need a plugin. However, even this has problems as the players will still need to have a recent browser (at least IE8 at this point); we can't be supporting IE6 and 7 as IE8 is available on XP SP2 and greater. IE8 support is necessary, as IE9 and greater are not available for XP. We definitely should not use the in-game voice chat though, it's horrible.

I have no web coding experience besides a little HTML, so it would be nice to have web developers weigh in on this.

CS people

I don't think that's the official model.
