I just picked up a CM Storm Xornet from Amazon for $24. Initially the mouse was garbage because the liftoff distance was unbearably high, but that was fixed with a firmware update. So far it seems to be working flawlessly with the newer firmware, and I haven't had any of the issues people were having with the CM Storm Spawn and Mumble(maybe it has to do with the drivers for that mouse - the Xornet is driverless).

Also for reference, I picked up this mouse to substitute for my G400 while I wait for a new one from Logitech(apparently it's fairly common for the mouse to start disconnecting randomly). I may end up staying with the Xornet because I find it super comfy to use and I haven't seen any issues since I swapped the firmware.

Hey Saltysally1, when Rick said he was going to his car to charge his phone he was implying that he owns a cigarette lighter powered charger for said phone. With a device like that, someone could use the battery in their car(lots of power) to charge the battery in their phone(does not use a lot of power) many many times. Hope this helps!

I opened this thread right as this song started. Surreal.

It sucks that so many people are going to be out of power for such a long time, but it's also pretty amazing to think that even with all this devastation very few people lost their lives(proportionally compared to the amount of damage done). Stay safe friends.

As a rule of thumb, if you're forced to hit airshots to save your medic(assuming the jumper was called at the proper time) you're probably holding in a bad position. Just try to make a mental note about where that happened and why you think it happened(this can be very hard to do during a game, which makes demo reviews extremely helpful for problems like this).

NO! YOU GUYS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE!

EDIT: Crisis averted, I merely misunderstood the nature of the post.

I always loved your fraps frag clips you used to throw up on youtube, especially the two weeks you did for Experiment(I think). If you could get the rest of the guys to give a few demos and make a teaser video that might motivate some people to donate(i.e. me).

Good stuff, you should co-cast with other casters some time.

oh my god

I was eating an apple while watching and I literally missed my mouth and almost dropped the apple slice. D:

If you're curious about the difference you can try setting your monitor to 75 Hz. Most 60Hz monitors will run at 75Hz if you drop the resolution a bit.

I think they played earlier versions of both arctic and flake in the New Map Weekends. If my memory serves me well, arctic(or whatever it was called at the time) was really fun.

Looking at the screenshots I fear those crates would be too much of an advantage to whoever owns the point, but who knows until it gets played in a scrim and not a pug.

I used to have a pair of HD202s and they were amazing for the price. They can be kinda tight on your head, but if you have that issue just put them over two or three books or something to stretch them overnight.

Having the codec set to ultrafast will make whatever bitrate you're using look much worse than it should.

Is it bad that I squeal like a little girl when I see a new phoon video popup on my youtube homepage?

If you get more height, wouldn't you inherently get more distance as well?

I just had a blast playing with some familiar names as well as a few not so familiar. It seemed like everyone was having fun, and I even got to teach some guy how to rocket jump. He said it was his first game of TF2 and seemed to be having a great time. That's an A+ in my book.
