    Getting whupped..

    Stick with one weapon as long as you can, and learn it. Get comfortable with it, know how it recoils, and how fast you can shoot before losing too much accuracy. Good weapons to start with are always the MP5, M4A1, and AK-47. The MP5 has great accuracy even at a high rate of fire. The M4A1 has...

    There's a seriously something wrong here

    It IS a cpu problem. I had the same trouble as you guys did. I was running a P4 2.4ghz w/533fsb. Which is very close to what the guys with problems here have. Once I upgraded to a AMD 64 3000, my framerates went through the roof. The bottom line, your CPU is bottlenecking the performance that...

    Isn't this just so beautiful?

    None of the HL2 SP maps are as big as they look. Take Docks for example. You stand on the pier and look out at the water. It seems to go on forever and that the map is incredibly huge. Up on the hill you see rows and rows of trees with small hills produding in the distance. But it's all an...

    Performance warning?! wtf

    It's seems to be a reoccuring theme with CS:S. It's not a problem with your system or video card. It's just another bug that Valve has yet to address. Right now it doesn't have a major effect on the game, but hopefully that doesn't mean it will get overlooked. I'm suprised you haven't seen other...

    NLCS: Houston vs St. Louis

    We just need to get our starters to stay later in the game, so we can go straight to Brad Lidge. If we have to use Qualls, Harville, Springer, Miceli, Gallo, etc we could be in trouble. Game one was a perfect example. Our bullpen gave up what, eight runs? Not going to cut it. We should be...

    I hate EB games

    Go to a competing store and dig through their bargin bin. Pick up three games for $5/each or so. Then trade those in for GTA:SA. You get a $50 game for $15-25.

    Backe playing like a champ

    I can't argue with that. Our starters and closer can get it done any day of the week, it's the rest of the bullpen that suffers. We've got the bat to beat any team, but our bullpen HAS to keep us in the game. Giving up 6 runs in an inning isn't going to do it. There's still plenty of games left...

    Backe playing like a champ

    Struck out five of the last seven! Way to go Backe! Love to see young guys like that do well in tense situations. This should be a great NLCS series. I think St. Louis has the better team, but boy have the 'Stros been hot lately. Guess you know who I'm cheering for though. God I love October.

    Abortion - Should it be legal?

    Isn't it already legal? And yes I feel it should stick around. Sometimes I disagree with the reasoning behind the abortion, but that's not my call to make.

    CS:S complaints

    I have a good feeling I'm not going to get any serious replies to this, but I'm taking the chance anyway. Neutrino, you made an excellent post, and I'd like to expand upon those issues as well. CS:S final. Is it final worthy? A big "NO" from my point of view. I'm severely disappointed in...

    CS:S complaints

    Still in beta? But it's called CS:S 1.0 Final? Since when is it okay to charge people for a beta? I think your logic is slightly flawed. What makes you think your boxed copy will be any different?

    If Bush wins...

    We're suddenly insane for voting for Bush? Care to explain that philosophy?

    If Bush wins...

    I don't think life here will change at all. We'll all go on doing what we've been doing for the past four years. The world won't come to an end, I'd be suprised if there is an assasination attempt, and who cares if no other country likes us. They never have and I don't see that changing just...

    Bought a house recently?

    Yeah I'll be the first to admit, cost of living down here is much cheaper. I've had several people tell me that this house would cost $500,000+ in their area. If that's the case, I can't imagine what my parent's house would go for. The just built one north of Houston for a almost $1 million. I...

    Bought a house recently?

    Thanks for the comments guys. Freeman, I paid just under $200,000 for it. But with the interest rates so low, I'm only paying $1200 a month for her. Not a bad deal if I say so myself.

    Bought a house recently?

    I just recently bought a new house, wanted to share it with you guys. Anyone in the Houston area is welcome to get down on some poker, pool, lan parties, drinking games, whatever suits you. Just let me know before you come, okay? Anyway, here's the new pad. You can see the boxes up in the...

    100 GB email?!!

    Don't you have to be a "Hellacious Rider?" Well, maybe not. They say to reward people for signing up on their webpage, that they get 1gig email/500mb attachment account. I don't know if you have to use their toolbar or not though. I didn't see anything about it in the EULA. Interesting...
