Obesity to me is just a more obvious addiction than others. Obviously there can be underlying reasons for it, but it's essentially just a different poison over alcohol and stuff.

What version of HL do they speedrun on btw? Steam version or the older standalone version?

Keys are worth $200+, for a F2P closed beta. Jesus there's so much hype.

You can save you know.

In your browser's console:
Game.cookies = 99999999999999999999999
Game.cookiePs = 999999999999999999999

Game Ruined.

If you really like playing engineer/heavy on last.

It's a really big query to the database. Imagine if you turned it on for the picture of yourself thread. The server would have to load every single post in the thread, which is a few MB of text just for you. The page you see isn't made until you click a link. You'd hog up a ridiculous amount of the mySQL load and CPU load for just one user.

TL can handle it because they probably pay for a better server (seeing as their community is much much bigger).

Did you even read the date of those posts? Nobody is saying they are now of course. This was a 4 month old prediction thread.

I never heard of it until Kripp decided to drop Dark Souls for it.

Then I realized a lot of popular streamers were streaming it since closed beta started and was ~2nd twitch.

Also, heard beta keys were worth ~$100, so I'd probably sell my key instead of playing it.

Uh, it's legal to change viewmodel FOV, and I'm pretty sure you can set r_drawviewmodels to 0. Though it is Hallow who's saying that so it's really no surprise that he said something stupid again.

Can't wait til I get a job so I can actually afford to go. Always fun times.

PS. Hella or Hecka? Also say if socal or norcal.

You wouldn't be able to see LAN players use the plugins unless it was in a handheld video. And even then it'd be hard to tell unless you can tell what the FoV is from a video of a monitor. Casters used the spec plugin so you could see through walls, which doesn't get vac banned because STV doesn't have VAC I believe.

I agree it was pretty bad to watch at this LAN, that's not what I was arguing about. I do agree that the QF meta is pretty bad right now and it shouldn't have been allowed mid season, but invite teams didn't just decide to try it at LAN where it is high stakes; they obviously came prepared to deal with it with their currently best solution: run it yourself with heavy/sniper.

Offseason is the best time to figure out if it is truly overpowered (I think it's slightly too strong myself, but can't say it's overpowered yet). I do admit that not enough unlocks are tested during the offseason and will let bad things through still (battalion's backup was pretty stupid).

I take it you weren't around when gunboats came out.

You don't need your med to die, you just need someone to die and then open spawn (or even walk back to base, shade did this plenty of times). And even if they know you've switched, pushing out of gully with 6 people up is still ridiculously hard and they'll still wait it out (they knew the switch happened but still didn't push out from last). The question is if the last point is awful for krits and getting to the other medic combo takes too long (hurts uber), can you do anything quickly? Probably not, since gullywash last is awful for krits because the two best areas to krits from (right/water and mid right) take too long to rotate to and make them guess. You can do much more with krits on lasts like badlands where you can quickly go from top left, top right, or bottom in 5 seconds so they can't preemptively sticky it off.

I do agree that QF wins mid better than any other medigun, but if you can win mid without any types of uber going off you can still have an advantage for 2nd/last.
