tf2/general fps snipering question

cl_cmdrate sets the maximum command packets you will send the server, per second. A command packet consists of all the commands the client sends to the server, such as: I've hit +attack, +forward, I'm currently looking at this location, etc. Command packets can have multiple commands in each...

Was your ping near 100? Did you adjust cl_cmdrate or cl_updaterate at all?

Where exactly is anything "legally binding" for the end-user? Seems rather one-sided to me.

Team Fortress 2: update news

I'm mad at Robin. Come on man, be smarter than that. Sentries being binary is the exact way they should be. Sentries are meant to make the job of your teammates easier, not to be the defense. That's the job of the rest of your team. Sentries are nothing but big glorified distractions -...

X-Com alien bodies

Yeah, but who uses incendiary? :P The only "weakness" that actually matters is Sectopod's weakness to lasers/resistance to plasma. Makes a Tank/Laser / Heavy Laser Sharpshooter / Sectopod Mind Blaster Extrordinaire a necessity, esp. on higher difficulties. Every other weakness/resistance...

X-Com alien bodies

You can't capture a live Cyberdisc or Sectopod. Even if you use a containment editor you can't get the game to recognize them as a valid research project. You have to get their "live" records through captured Medics. edit: I might be wrong, but I think it's only TFTD that requires corpse...

X-Com alien bodies

Corpses are essentially gold bars. 20K for a dead alien? Sounds good! Same thing with Alien Alloys (provided you don't need to save them for anything you're producing, that is..) Corpses + AA on a fully stocked superhuman battleship nets you ~2 million. Re: Live alien research You only...

Why Online Activation Sucks

Not true. Remember "ripped" games, that didn't have sound, or movies, etc just to decrease the download size? The pirated copy was clearly inferior.

PC game piracy examined

In my mind, pirates are nothing but leeches. a) You're leeching the game itself developers and/or publishers. b) You're leeching blood, sweat, and tears from the people who actually DO the cracking of the games - you know, the people who might actually know something about SecuROM's internal...

You weren't the one I was referencing chizow. The "read between the lines" comment I was going for was that it seemed to me nobody had read the article, given the odd posts of anti-drm stuff that the article itself attempts to debunk. That's all.

What are the reasons games seem to be getting worse in Quality?

Some of the "best" games weren't entirely theoretically complex, the two examples I can think of right up off the top of my head: Doom (and the legion of Doom clones)? Shoot, run, keys. Diablo? Click, click, click, click, click, mouse breaks, new mouse, repeat. :P Freelancer proved that...

What are the reasons games seem to be getting worse in Quality?

I'm not entirely sure games are getting worse, so much as people are looking at the past with rose-colored glasses. There certainly were bad games made back in the "glory days" as there are now. If anything, gamers are more choosy.

Fallout 3 early reviews out

Agreed. You get banned if you have the testicular fortitude to: a) Support Bethesda in any way. b) Disagree with anyone else in any way. NMA is basically a gigantic echo chamber of hatred. edit: It's entirely no surprise they'd hate FO3 because it doesn't look EXACTLY like FO1 and 2.
