As we are in the middle of the French Euro football tournament Irish fans are already voted as the best fans ! 
Look at them singing for a pretty French lady,a baby in the tramway and even the French police !
 

 

 

Ireland is one of the best countries in the world!

Border patrols between the north and south only ceased after the good Friday agreement of 1998. I've travelled from North to south hundreds of times over my short life. Border patrols will ofcourse be setup again as we the north will no longer be part of the EU.  
We did, however, as a country vote to remain in the EU and were unfortunately dragged out by the English vote.
 
The referendum has managed to separate our wee country again after decades of negotiations and work to unite the nationalist and unionist people here.
The English didn't think nor care about the consequences of their ill informed votes.
 
Not to mention that Farage came out not two hours after the results were announced and said that the main advert of his campaign, that the nhs would get an extra £350million per week funding was a load of bullshit.
 
So in essence, they leave campaign lied to the public and now we're pretty much fucked.
 
So yeah........thanks to all who voted to leave for destroying decades of hard work and plunging us in to the unknown, good work!

Nah just do what everyone else does. Blame me when they cant hit water when falling out of a fucking boat. Great great movie.

As many of you know, I have been working hard at losing some weight since the end of October. I had 2 HUGE weight loss moments I need to share with all my family here. When I started this journey I was 390lbs, ya, a fat fucker, LOL.
 
The 1st huge moment of the week was my daughter hugging me from behind and exclaiming in shock that her fingers now touch!!
 

 
The second big moment came this morning after my morning poop!!!
I honestly dont remember the last time I saw a 2 at the front of my weight, I am not afraid to admit that I stood on the scale and shed a legit tear when I saw this!!
 

 
 
I still have a bit to go, I am 6'1 so If i could get to 240 I would be VERY happy!!! Going strong and will be there soon enough!!!

Three additional maps from previous version of rotation: osg_backlot_n, forsaken, rus_spiritu. All three are best 3 of 5 matches to keep the pace going. Backlot n is the expanded version of backlot but at night. Forsaken and spiritu are bigger daytime maps as well. Also, due to all the various opinions about how kk arena is a server killer it also is 3 of 5.

Good ol cheese burgers are one of those basic meals. I dont like ketchup. But not long ago, just to check it out, I added tabasco sauce. Mmmmmm. Trying new things is good.

Small temp change. In suddendeath there is now a forced uav that shows the location of everybody. Regardless of whether or not you have stealth. The purpose is to help deal with matches that end in no winner because there are too many 'draw' rounds. Either because people camp or a map is simply a little too big for players to attack each other. Not a panacea and might introduce its own issues to consider but an interesting change nonetheless to see how it works.
 
Post here what you think after playing a few matches with it.

 
- Yes, I am speaking of the icon on the top left. It does not update correctly, quite often teams draw or win/lose because it is not reflecting the actual number of players left alive.
 
- I think one sweep of forced UAV at the beginning of Overtime would be good enough. Everyone gets to see where everyone is and then they can make the best use of their memory. 

Yea I hate that one also. However in that map I tend to use combat medic for the 12 seconds of spawn protection if that side is being pressed. Because its a relatively small map that 12 seconds is long enough to get out and nearer to one of the closer enemies trapping you and shooting him. Combat Medic + Lightweight it very useful. Include 3X emp and you could potentially get quite a few of your teammates to do the same thing and sneak up on them.

My start menu just randomly decided to not work this morning, it seems it's a pretty common issue

It was moved to the admin section @@Onyx and not because what you think.

Just curious. There was a thread going here on the forums.... I believe it was titled "Binds" where we were discussing the ability to jump and turn into a car. It seems to have been deleted. Has this forum turned into some sort of Ministry of Truth, where any controversial topics are considered Thoughtcrime?

For the main MW2 server just want to remind everyone that, if you are seriously spawn trapped in a sucky map, the Combat Medic perk (tier 3) will add +%50 to your spawn protection time. Tho you dont get the benefit of things like armor it will help you get away. Wont help as much if everyone else is in your own spawn if you need to stay close to get them. But you might be able to sneak up on the trappers from behind and get a few. Then get a car.
 
Yes I seriously hate being spawn trapped in maps. Not all TDM maps work as well in freezetag.
 
edit: Forgot to add, on that terrible spawn trap map this afternoon CM would have given a few more seconds to get up those ladders and knock off the enemies on top.

How bout bring the china lake back so you have to wait to reload like smaw and rpg? 

The radius of the emp in comparance with the tubes or grenades is indeed a lot less, and on cars they do not work at all in my opinion. If an emp falls a little bit away from the bubble it does not defrost, where a tube hits the other side of the wall and it kills you, a little bit overreacted in my opinion. They are way overpowered. Never in the 8-9 years that i am playing here has the Tubes been this overpowered and indeed in some maps ruining the fun for a decent game of Freezetag. 90% is using them now. Aiming and shooting will soon be something of the past. Also want to add that my predator is often (approx. 70%) of the time not killing enemies. I drop them near them, like right behind or infront and all i see is an X and nothing happens, also weird stuff. 

It's amazing how many people bitch about something in game and then when a topic is started for discussion no body seems to voice an opinion.
I hear many people complain about tubes being a massive problem, yet they don't speak up on here.
Some people don't even try and use a gun, they just tube and kill 3 people then die........then repeat for the whole game.
And it's nice to see the admins are so open to discussion and suggestions

Chili kept telling me his country was beautiful so i had to go and check ! I went there whith a group of 10 friends,we rented two 4X4 and drove around San pedro de atacama in Chili and around Uyuni salted desert in Bolivia.
In terms of amazing sceneries that's probably one of the most amazing trip i've ever made.
Enjoy the pics ( in HD for better viewing ) 
 

 
If you are interested in Street Art here's a few pics i took in Valparaiso one of the Street Art capitals.
 

 
And for the fun here's what happens to 10 Frenchies when they drink too much beer under the sun.....

I just love you @@DeathWaveUK

@@jumper isn't jumping@!  It is tactical vertical direction re-positioning.  Some shorten it to the acronym TVDR or just VD.  As in, "Jumper sure is moving a lot of VD today."

Coulda saved poor Rockape a lot of hassle and kept your original name lol.
