I use Turtle Beach DX12s (originally purchased for my xbox) and not only have they lasted forever, they're really comfortable and have pretty good sound quality. I originally planned to use them as a stopgap while I got a new PC headset but I liked them so much I stuck with them.

My only complaint is that the cord is so long I have to tie it up and sometimes the wire coil bumps my keyboard and activates keys

Like I said, if you think it'll work for you, go for it. I'm not one to shit on anyone for doing what they think will make them better. I'm just confused by it, with my limited HL knowledge.

you're not going to get into flamethrower range in any sort of decent HL match either though. DM takes away the one really difficult part of playing pyro, which is getting into position to actually do damage.

lobbies can be rough for a new player just because there's usually a complete lack of communication and players are just expected to do what they're supposed to do.

They're definitely the most available in terms of playing competitive-format TF2 though. Once you've got a pretty good idea of what to do in a competitive game (you can do this in newbie mixes and via finding a mentor) lobbies are a good tool to actually see situations you'd face in a match.

Until you're confident in what you should do in a 6s or HL game, you may want to avoid lobbies. There's no punishment for being confused in a lobby, but people can be dicks.
You can continue to practice your DM using DM/MGE servers or just good old pubs until you're confident in playing your class.

I'm legitimately confused about this.

Can't you get exactly the same experience by playing in a random fast-respawn pub?

I mean, it's cool I guess and if HL players think it's super useful then go for it, but HL is so heavily based on the balance between classes that removing the things that would break DM (buildings, heavy, knife) entirely changes the game and the DM style of a bunch of classes. Adding a second scout/soldier changes things even more.

I mean, it's cool practicing DM as your favorite class, but who in the world does this actually help, especially if heavy/engy are banned? Pyro/medic(no heals)/spy(no knife) are the only classes you can practice, and all of those can be practiced just as well in a random pub.

Then again, maybe I'm completely wrong and missing the point entirely, but it seems like the only classes that will truly benefit from this are pyro and spy mains, and neither will be able to really practice their DM to it's fullest effect in a server like this.

This. Of all the invite players, tagg probably streams the most and it's almost always fun to watch. Slobbering on chess club because of tri and ignoring tagg's contribution to the community is silly.

This sort of posturing has happened many times before from DPRK, but the erratic behavior of that regime since KJI died seems to indicate a pretty serious power struggle between KJU and the military leadership.

That said, nobody outside of Seoul has anything to worry about; the v-2s that DPRK has with nuclear tips wouldn't make it anywhere near North America. A strike by Pyongyang would be met with swift force from every country including China.

This will blow over, especially since China (the guys pulling the strings in DPRK) is currently very interested in preserving the status quo.

What Is Dealtwith.it?! Is That Some Sort Of New Meme Sharing Site?

just looking for one more scout oh my gosh

this is the same weekend as the LAN at CMU...

B-town is closer and a way better party scene, might hit this up instead.

Anyone else going?

wanna make some?

wouldn't be too hard, I don't think.

yo, I live in Lafayette and compared to Chicago, Indy is definitely boring. It's still an amazing city and is impossibly well set up for events like LANs.
