For the admins we are losing an important tool to record video of potential hackers. We're going to need some kind of alternative.

Congratulations Ter!

I don't get it, what are you offering or asking for gaming? I've had Hughesnet and you're right, it's horrible for gaming.

Yep.

We have 4 and 6 year tags but no 5 according to the choices given. I see that you didn't have the 4 so I awarded them to you.

I can take a joke just fine, but when you, Laz and myself were playing Bullet and Window on Sunday it was a non-stop bitchfest about the spawn killing, followed-up by a rage quit after the round ended. So yeah, you were complaining about other players.

We have all different styles of playing and that includes camping. It's not against the rules and never has been. Everybody camps at one time or another and some people that's all they do. I do on some maps and other maps I don't stand still for a second. Get used to it. Camping isn't going away anytime soon.

Classy.

No problem running it here, using a 7 year old completely stock Toshiba laptop.

Crowe brings up a good point. One of the main reasons we decided to change the weapons in the first place was because those with lower pings were masters of the servers. The high capacity magazine and low recoil compensates for your enemy having a much lower ping, but it doesn't guarantee a win. Even with the current weapons mod I find it's almost impossible to hit somebody with a very low ping. Viperz is a perfect example because his ping hovers around 20 and mine around 110. Even if I use the PPSH he drops me with a single shot from his weapon of choice the garand after I've shot an entire load at him from my PPSH. My only advantage with him is that he relies on close combat and I can drop him from across the map with the PPSH. Ter, if you were truly a weapons purist you would want the Garand to have an 8 round magazine instead of 20, and not be fully automatic as it is and has been in all of our mods for a very long time. You would also want the shotties to require a pump between each of the 5 shots it held before you needed to reload. There are COD2 servers out there with mods that copy the actual weapons. I doubt if any of us would really like it. Sparty, I realize you know the game but when all I hear is complaining about other players and not talking to your team mates about where the enemy is, it usually doesn't bode well for that team. Some of us who play TDM every weekend are very vocal about the location of the enemy so we can work together to win, and yes if one of us is in a bad spot that forces our team mates to spawn there as well, we give them a lot of shit until they move. TDM takes team work to win just like CTF. By the way, the Sten is a great weapon when you aim down on a target. I use it or the Garand as my secondary.

Oops, I pulled a painsponge.

I know that the spawn kills get to be nuts on TDM sometimes, but you have to realize that there is a reson for it and the other team is well within their rights to take advantage of it. The system determines the spawn points based on where the person on your team who has been alive the longest is located. So if you have a team mate camping back in a corner with only one way in or out (like the alley on Matmata) then your entire team will respawn there until you all die. If I know that the other team is stuck spawning in the same place you can bet that I will throw hot cans, send napalm and artillery to that spot as much and as often as possible. It's up to you to notice when this is going on and get your team mates the hell out of the that spot so you can spawn someplace else.

The PPSH, shottie and M1 were all changed back in August of 2013 because we were trying to level out the playing field. The same small group of players were completely dominating every single map, and the regulars got tired of getting their asses kicked by the same people over and over again. All Rugger did was remove the recoil from the 3 weapons and it made one hell of a difference keeping the majority of the players happy. Those were the days when Ter would win every shottie map with a score of 200+ and the person in second place had a score of like 50. About the only people I've heard complain about the weapons since then are the same ones who were always winning before the change and aren't now. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Looks like a Japanese beetle only brown instead of green. I remember those damn things eating everything when I was a kid on Ohio.

Ok I'm officially caught up. Spent the last week watching seasons 1-2 & 3. Tonights episode was fantastic, especially her escape on the back of the dragon. Next week is the season finale already.

This may sound stupid, but did you try installing it with your headset and mic plugged in? Believe it or not that works for some people.

It would be much better with Kate Upton on my screen.

Happy birthday Sparty. Make it a great one.

Congratulations! Uh oh, looks like it's time to cut back on the prplekusk. Welcome to the world of parenthood.

Yep figured that out yesterday. Found it on my xfinity web site.

Went back and watched Season 1 episode 1 today. Amazing how much shit makes sense now. I loved that the first scene the dwarf was in he was getting a blow job.

Well you've always been a little strange like that.

Yeah I know. I didn't have HBO until season 4 started so I have some catching up to do.

Speaking of the Walking Dead, the spin off series is scheduled to be released in August. I'm kind of excited to see what they do with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unWdvWPmiPk

The truck "engine" will pull it just fine. The transmission is another story all together. I pulled a 30 ft 10,000 lb trailer with my gas powered 2005 Expedition that has the same engine as a gas F250, but after doing that for a summer the tranny went out. I've heard from many people that Ford transmissions from the early to late 2000's frequently go out towing RV's. If you try it, I would strongly suggest getting the tranny beefed up and serviced, and maybe adding an oil cooler to it. By the way, my tranny cost over $5,000 to replace through Ford, and it wasn't really any cheaper to fix anywhere else. So I went with Ford to get the 3 year warranty on their work.
