Wisp

That's the one I play on. The server I use also has low gravity on for some reason (not really low, but enough that you can jump higher than normal) which makes the gameplay fairly unique.

Well as a sniper, if there aren't any persistent spies, or snipers who are better than me (There are a lot of good snipers who play the servers I'm on, but they're not always on), and if a sniper is slightly worse than you, you can win 90% of the time, I can get a great k/d, since the only other class that occasionally kills me is a flying demoman who snuck behind me, or a scout who manages to force-a-nature me before I can shoot him. And as a spy, I can usually get a pretty good k/d because I know where to go and how to avoid spycheckers really easily.

There's also the first definition there, which everyone seems to have ignored.

I like them (that server specifically) because I know a lot of the people who play on that server. There are a few people who are really really good, then a few good (but not amazing) players who are always on that server, which make it challenging enough for me. And lenin, that's not at all what is normally going on for me. If I play a sniper or spy, heavy, or engie, I come out positive, but usually my k/d's are pretty even. And domination wise, that situation was unfair for the other team, I was sitting on the tower sniping them, and they were trapped in their base in a situation where none of the snipers could survive long enough to counter-snipe me. I'm good as a sniper, but only because it's that map which is practically made for snipers. I doubt I could pull anything close to that off on a real map. EDIT: Does anyone else notice that kukri's crit against spies a lot? I seem to crit against them/be critted by one like 90% of the time. Maybe it's just luck, but it seems like it happens the majority of the time.

Playing no-heroes orange server: this was about halfway through the game. The game ended with me at 495 points in second place, with a 2.8 kdr, when I disconnected. That was fun. What I don't get though is why the thing that shows how many people your dominating is messed up. It almost never shows me the right amount. I don't know if it's just me, or just the server, but it always shows a lower number than the people who I'm dominating.

[hide=] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, you were serious. Wow. Where to begin? Ah, yes. Ditch the paintball guns. They won't work, since even a frozen paintball won't be able to destroy a brain in a single shot, unless the zombies experience very advanced decay very quickly. Just extra, useless weight, like the extra pounds your mom kept after you were born. Also, the mall. This has been covered; too many entrances, everyone will be there already, it just isn't a viable option. You're planning as if you'll be the only survivors, which I can assure you will not happen. And you will probably not be able to "grab a car" due to blocked roads and massive zombie amounts that will be drawn to the sound of your engine. Also, if DC is not overrun, it will be because the military is there keeping it in order, and will not let you in because you might be infected. In fact, you'll probably be shot before you can say "Lincoln Memorial". Pretty much what he said. DC would be just as likely to be over-run as say, NYC. An infection starts internally, and it escalates. Likely, in the even of something like a zombie apocalypse, the president would be evacuated to some bunker somewhere. Also, grabbing a car? This sounds easy, but even though there would be many cars lying around in possible working order, it's not like anyone leaves the keys in the ignition. People will just say "lol hotwire it" but do you honestly know how to do that? Or do you think you'll have time to break into a car when zombies may be chasing you, then do a rather complicated task before they get you? That's ignoring the fact that gas will be very rare. If you were to barricade ONE store in a mall, which is possible, but really stupid, you wouldn't have the resources granted by the other stores. A hunting store won't have any food other than maybe a couple bags of beef jerky. First and formost, the store is large, empty, and has only two entrances, one outside and one to the mall itself. And food comes from the food court of the mall, which happens to be right beside it -.- Piantball guns-might not work, and if it dosent, just toss it out the window. Cars- i beg to differ. Switching between cars can be fast and simple if we have it planed out right. Washington- maybe. you have a valid point about that. Gas-you might also have a point. but then again, the hunting store has a crap load of ammo, and would esily kill around 5000 zombies, with 5 bullets per zombie. we might never need to leave. [/hide] You said you would go to a police station "and grab a car". That doesn't sound like you've left a car there in the past with a full tank of gas, unlocked with the key in the ignition. And unless the food court magically has enough non-perishables to last you even a month, it's worthless. Think of the stores at your average food court: Mcdonalds, taco-bell, kfc maybe, starbucks, chinese fast-food. Most of that is meat products which will rot quickly and be a major health hazard, and will be unsuitable to eat. There aren't many non-perishables at your average food court, thus it's worthless.

Guns are still explosive just not on the scale most of the things that are commonly referred to as explosives are. The bullets are, and that's just the propellant. Guns themselves have no explosives in them. Weapon testing isn't really necessary. A rifle with some bullets is all you need for weapons, really.

No. That's my answer to all of that. That first video, what I saw of it was honestly laughable. There were a lot of irrelevant points and idiotic conclusions drawn from them.

That time should work. I've never played with any tifers, so this should be good.

If zombies only went for brains we'd be lucky, because in eating the brain, they'd eliminate the possibility of another zombie. But according to the guide, wwz etc. they eat as much as they can before the body re-animates, though they rarely eat the brain simply because it's hard to get to.

I hate you. [bleep] the flobots though. I've seen the flobots twice. They were good both times, I like them. They weren't as good at the dnc one though.

You don't miss any shots you don't take, because you don't take them. That's like saying I missed a shot someone was taking 500 miles away because I didn't take it. No. But I get your point, I just don't like that saying.

I think you mean "mean" if we're going to talk about spelling. But yeah. There's a thread. Riku linked to it. Advice in a few sentences: Some girls aren't going to like you. Talk to her more. Be confident. Don't be arrogant.

One major thing that bothers me with religion and those who follow a specific one, is how many religions there are. The only reason (barring the occasional convert from other religions, a very small percentage of people) you follow your religion is because that is what you grew up with or what you were taught. If you grew up in a different situation, you could have grown up following any number of different religions, each with claims no more ridiculous than your own. There is no evidence that your religion has that another religion doesn't have, the majority of religions have scripture, which is pretty much the only "proof" of religion. Secondly, my answer to anyone asking where the universe came from if god didn't make it: We don't know. But that doesn't mean I'm going to make up something to fill in the things I don't know.

Actually, a few posts ago I said the gogol bordello concert was the best I'd ever seen, I was wrong, it was the second best. The best was the rage against the machine/flobots concert at the dnc.

There is probably some truth to noah's ark. Except for about three every single culture in the world has a story about a global flood. I have never heard about every single culture making up the same exact story. I wouldn't be surprised if every primitive culture had their own flood story, but that doesn't mean there was a global flood. It's much more likely that they were all local floods that were incorrectly interpreted to be global. After all, in the past a local flood would have seemed like a global flood; there was no communication with other cultures and no knowledge of high places like Everest. All these people knew was their own local area; it was quite literally the world to them. Nearly every culture on the planet has/had myths about dragons, even though the cultures were fully unconnect. This does not mean dragons are real. [/hide] If I recall, the logical explanation for this is fossils of winged dinosaurs/fossils that looked like dragons. Its a bit of a stretch, but it makes some sense. I've heard that, but who knows. A logical explanation for flood stories would just be a big flood. Not global by any means, just a big flood that happened for each culture at different times, like one of the people above me said

Not only that, but halfway down the page left 4 dead 2

I posted early on in this topic, but I'll post again. I never got into the fangirlism for this series, and I'm glad about that. One thing that bothers me more than a avid twilight fangirl is one of the countless guys who pretend to like it, just to try to get points with the fangirls. That really annoys me. Anyhow, the books aren't good. Anyone (or most people atleast) who've had any longterm/serious relationships would know that the romance in the book is just ridiculous. Then there are girls who are literally in love with one of book characters (or what they think is love). This is really no different than falling in love with an imaginary friend, and avoiding any real relationships because of it. It's just stupid. Have any of you ever looked at a twilight fan-forum? I did once, and there was a thread "Worst thing to say to a twilight fan". Most of the replies were something like this: "I was talking about edward and my dad told me he wasn't real. I went up to my room and cried for an hour" (That one's a real quote) It just disgusts me to be honest, the people who obsess about it, and in some cases even physically attack people who don't like the books (One girl in my class tried to hit me when I said I didn't like twilight). It's just stupid.

If you're mom's a hardcore christian, and she says that for every time they kiss, it's another year in hell, than she doesn't know what she's talking about religion-wise, as, unless I'm incorrect, hell is supposed to be eternal. Anyhow, it's nice to see people who, despite their religious beliefs, aren't vehemently against homosexuals. And to nightshade welcome to off topic as the other guy said, it's definitely different than the RS boards, have fun here, haha.

Earlier this year or late last year, there was another revolt and riots that got alot of attention, I think it was in Myanmar, I forget though. That was put down brutally, and no one intervened and the riots ended. I hope that doesn't happen here. Of course, if Iran is a lot more known than Myanmar, so it will get more attention if something happens.

Well Nadril, you manage to cover any points I really would have made, and even used the same examples as I would have. Nine inch nails (though I think Trent is retiring, unfortunately, or atleast stopping touring) has been one of the first major artists to support free music, and p2p file sharing as a way of distributing music, which I really admire Trent Reznor (Trent is nine inch nails, for anyone who doesn't know). What gets me to keep purchasing Valve games from steam, is the support they give most of their newer games. Like with tf2, it came out two years ago about, and there are frequent updates ranging from bug-fixes, to tons of content and new maps and all. That's the way to get people to buy your games. Anything I might pirate is something I wouldn't buy. No one's losing anything there.

Did you just now notice that? I remember people complaining about it a while ago. :lol: I've been playing demoman some more recently, getting a little better at it but still can't play it as well as soldier or sniper. I do still love his taunt though, "Kah-beem!!!!". WTB Demoman or soldier update. :P (Demoman should totally get proximity bombs) I thought the soldier sucked until I really started playing as it. It still is technically my worst class according to the loading screen, but I've lead a team as soldier a few times. I like demoman better though.

I saw gogol bordello live the other week. Honestly, without a doubt the best concert I've ever been to. Highly recommend going to one of his concerts if you get the chance.
