Yesterday I launched the new version of the XI Portal, this has been my pet project this lock-down to learn new technologies and try and keep sane (it has not worked 100% effectively). The XI Portal is usable by registered users, members and admins. It is geared towards monitoring our servers and sharing information so there are lots of hidden features only available to the admin team (such as player manager, banning, etc.). I have especially enjoyed working on player and map tracking which is now visible on a server details page: It is also possible to download the map files directly here if you have any issues getting them from the server. There is a new version of the Demo Manager to work with the new portal. The Demo Manager is supported by COD2/4/5 and allow easy setup of keybinds for recording and the ability to share demos with the relevant admin team. The latest version is in the download section on this website. You will need to uninstall the previous version before installing and configure it with the 'auth key' that can be retrieved by logging into the portal. Hope it is of some use, either way I have learned allot of new tools, technologies and techniques so am happy. Now onto the next project...

Remember that nut on the corner with the sign was right all the time!!!!!!!

no wireless for gaming,,always some lag

So the question ends up as its your freedom. We do know this virus kills. What happens say one of those freedom loving protesters ends up with the virus. After they say they do not care and it won't kill me. They hand it off to there mom or dad. One of them dies. Would it be possible to press murder charges against that freedom loving protester who said they do not care and they would not die from it ? With freedom comes responsibility and accountability. I see as an accident that scenario happening. But to do that with the knowledge that you might end up passing it along and killing somebody. Well that's what I call willful negligence and ya should be held accountable. Eye for an eye right ?

Numerous court cases -- both previous and current -- clearly establish that in a state of emergency, the President of the United States along with individual state governors have the Constitutional and legal right to restrict travel, business, etc. In this specific case, it isn;t about a military action nor civil unrest. It's about the overall health, safety and well-being of all American citizens. The visus doesn't choose political or military sides ... it only chooses illness and death. I understand the financial and social hardship that this virus creates. However, only fools would contest any attempt to reduce and eliminate the threat. In fact, those that gather to protest are only creating a greater danger to themselves and the American public in general. We have only begun to see this virus in the real world and the deadly threat that it creates. It will only get worse if protests occur and politicians succumb to weakness and their overall lack of education, training and experience with this deadly virus and situation.

I've been playing with you enough lately, figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself. My serious PC gaming days started way back with Ultima I (grew up in the same neighborhood with Garriott). However. it all started with a Sear's branded game of pong. Fast-forward 40-something years and here we are today. In semi-recent history, I've been playing COD4 on and off since it was released. Played a few others, but always end up back here. Personally, I've been married for 27+ years and now that the kid closing out college (once they are allowed to go back, that is), the wife travels with me for work when the location is somewhere she thinks would be joyous. To narrow that down, if a Disney location is nearby, she is going with me. See you out there! --Cerb

hi everyone i love yall welli am been sick for 1/2 month i have got covid and been in hospital for some reason and i am now at home hope im getting bether soon well please do not kick me in clan if do not get online. hope i can stay with you guys

She was in a car accident yesterday and taken to the hospital in Austin, MN they then transferred her to St. Mary's in Rochester MN due to a brain bleed and are watching over her. She is an RN on the front lines doing her job of in home health care for the elderly and I am praying and wishing for the best for her as i wait this morning to see what the doctors have to say.

yeah that's fine they've already been added to game tracker just need claiming my account is too young for it

Awesome thanks for confirming ?

Like I have been saying....its all fuckin bullshit! Been at work seeing thousands of people every fuckin day. ( I know its thousands because I have to count them!) I am just fine. Yall just keep sitting at home and allow that to happen to you.

Also if you have another pc with a cd drive, you can copy the disc to a usb drive and use that for the install

Looks like the 'testers' never actually tries running a demo! I will take a look at this but yeah looks like there is an issue with the name containing the extension. Duc

I watched this and will do it again - very compelling information!

you can get an external cd drive cheap

WOW! Will have to look further into it.

Yes, the funeral directors are going to have a lot of business, aren't they?

Only fast advice I got is plant your corn early

I decided on both of these except I'm going to get the void Pro Elite the new version. And I like the mouse because it gives you three ways to connect that's awesome thank you for your help @Billymilano

Ok, many if not all by now know of my obsession with the Canadian rock band Monster Truck. I have seen them play live 30 times now, I have played ONSTAGE with them for a song once. I am in one of their music videos. Backstage with them all the time, hang out usually once a week with the lead singer. I am the ultimate fanboy when it comes to this band! I have multiple signed albums, posters, jackets, shirts and all that. Well, yesterday I acquired the holy grail!!! I caught wind that the lead guitarist was thinking on selling one of his guitars, a 1972 Gibson SG Deluxe that he never uses any more , it is red and he since has changed to only Yellow guitars (yes I have 2 yellow guitars same as his as well LOL) he used it for over 90% of the recordings on their best selling album Furiosity. Shot him a text and we got to talking it all over, he gave me an AMAZING deal on it as I am pretty much the 5th member of the band LOL, he sold it to me with 2 stipulations, 1.... I don't sell it.... 2.... IF the band gets huge in the next few years he buys it back from me, at over 3 times what I paid him for it AND he will give me a different guitar... SOLD!!!! So now I am the proud owner of some of the bands history!!!!!! He even signed the back of the headstock for me. The guitar is beat up, used, well played, has traveled the world, and is now mine!!!!!

I looked for the Fleur de Lys mousseux (?) but could not find it by googling it. What kind of wine is this? Where do the grapevines come from? Nice teapot btw

That it is a map?.. it's just colour coding, if we are talking about the map timeline?

Well, no thanks to the Fart House map in the recent rotation, the old Bud Light "Real American Heroes" & "Real Men of Genius" commercials magically showed up on my Youtube recommendations (Thanks Big Brother...?). Fortunately, or unfortunately listening to these. Good times.

Use the built in Mic and speakers for a bit until you find something that you like? Your definitely going to need a mouse though. Playing COD with a touch pad sucks goat balls.

UPDATE: Thanks for the well wishes and Yesterday My sister was in a car accident that sent her flying three hundred yards. The onstar detected the accident and sent help. She was taken to the Austin hospital and check then sent to St. Mary’s in Rochester because a cat scan detected a brain bleed. This morning she called me to tell me that they did another scan in Rochester and said that since she had been there 5 hours and things were still good that she could go home. Amen.

Thanks Duc its a great program! You get a gold star for today

I hope your correct in your assessment. My first hand experience is with patients who made it into the hospital. The cases that's coming out of NY, New Jersey, Michigan, Spain, France, Italy and others is tragic. Im not an expert on this, I don't think any of us are. We pull information from our favorite news site and treat it as gospel. All I know is what I see when those patients reach the hospital. They are scared and brave in the face of something that can potentially take their lives. I have seen many simples cases and I have seen a few awful ones. If your in healthcare SGTSmeg you do everything you can to help and care for these people. Its just what you do. If you feel its your constitutional right then who am I to stop you. In the end, I will still be that person assisting you and providing you care when you need it the most.

Hi @Cerberos a super welcome into our forums !!! Now I would like to make an observation here... the detail of how you have described your location is exceptional and quite accurate LOL... nice touch there. ? ¨Houston, TX, USA, Earth, Solar System, Gould Belt, Orion Arm, Milky Way, Virgo SCI, Laniakea SCI, Observable Universe¨ ???

What medical data? The data reported by the CDC that ONLY reports on the people that have been tested? That is the only data they can report on....period. Reports show the infection rates are 50 to 80 times HIGHER than the CDC is reporting. I am also going with my professional experience as an EMT and the fact that the hospitals in the US are NOT overwhelmed. Don't believe it. There are hot spots, obviously. However, in general they are not overwhelmed with patients, very few are admitted, less are in ICU and even less are on ventilators. I have spent plenty of time on 911 calls and at my local hospitals over the past few weeks, so please don't preach to me about that. I have seen it first hand in my area (near DC). I have fire-rescue friends that have been infected, one of which is in the hospital as we speak on a ventilator. It doesn't change my feeling about this. Bottom line IMHO. If you have underlying conditions (i.e. heart disease, diabetes, COPD) and fear for your safety....stay home with your doors locked and the curtains drawn. Totally understand that. However, everyone else's fear doesn't trump my constitutional rights. It shouldn't dictate whether my business folds permanently or I cannot work and provide for my family. It's BS in my opinion.

Question , whom are you really upset at? The medical data doesn't suggest an early opening. The consensus is outbreaks will happen and we will be taking a step back rather than foreword. That's from the medical establishment. So again, are you upset the government or the medical establishment, whom in reality only want to save lives. Maybe protesters should be picketing their local hospitals, see how far that gets you.

Have everyone wear masks in enclosed public spaces. Seems to be working well in Czech Republic/South Korea/Hong Kong etc... Not saying its 100% fullproof, but would drastically cut transmission without the need for lockdown and keep the infection rate down so as not to overwhelm hospitals.

Ah yes, natural selection how I have missed you. Yes, the financial and economic affects of this virus are felt worldwide. We're all fed up of being stuck in our homes, not being able to work and do what we enjoy. But give thanks for those working on the front-line day in and day out to keep the rest of us alive and well. I hate not being at work, it's driving me completely mad. I can't see my loved ones such as my mother, brother, nephew and my girlfriend. But, I accept that this is the best course to try and plateau the infection. If these sorts people wanna go outside and protest and risk catching and spreading the infection, on their head be it. If they get sick, that's their fault really. All it takes is one person to catch it in a crowd.

Seeing what's happening across the pond with panic beef buying Rob thought he'd get ahead of the crowd. Went out on my scooter last night and rounded up my own stock in a local farmers field, 1 cow, 2 sheep, a horse and a poacher, couldn't wait and slaughtered the poacher this morning, any tips on recipes? My plan is to sell the horse to Frenchi, who ate the last one he owned, then with the francs buy some wine and cheese, for the end of lockdown party. Plonked the cow on the front lawn, should be plenty to keep it going, already neighbours seem anti smallholding and enterprise. The sheep have been a bit more troublesome, my collie keeps moving them to different houses in the street, the fckr wags his tail every time ? Solved this by disguising them as zebras with a bit of paint, collie lost interest but the local kids think I've opened a zoo. Solved this by telling their parents that I'm Jimmy Savilles brother. Now I just need a cabbage patch, wheres my old dollies ?????

for your budget and maybe your own pc skills this would be a good option as budman pointed out it come pre build with windows 10 a keyboard and a mouse a 250ssd and a 1 tb hd overkill for the games is see you play in here.

Is it not sad that individuals health and safety have become a political pawn?

Its been reported that after basic investigations it was shown that many of these 'protests' are nothing more than political rallies sponsored and organized by various PACs and such.

California capitol at the moment.. Wow is all I can say. Where as they have the right to do this... and that I do agree with.. I feel they're just prolonging how long we're having to stay out of work! Wounding how high the cases will go up because of this.. ?

I have it on steam too, but haven't loaded so when you figure it out you can help me! Haha!

Other games? other games?? what other games???
