What now? (9 comments)
Posted by -plaZma- @ 19:39 BST, 24 May 2013 - iMsg
Worst 24 hours in my life, this.
My fiance, the girl i've been with since january 2007, has just left me, with our 2 year old girl. We're taking a break, officially, but I know that it's as good as over. I've been an idiot. I've not been a good boyfriend, nor a great father. I'm an idiot. I love them so much, and now they are gonna be a lesser part of my life. Now what? Now fucking what?
Any advice? Anyone?

I'm a fucking wreck, and I don't know what to do with myself.
Fuck.

The IME 3.0, WMO, Intelli 1.1A all have malfunction speeds of 1.00 m/s at their normal settings - this mouse has 72 IPS (1.80 m/s)!!!

I have one of these mice and I think its very good... very smooth tracking, minimal prediction and comfortable and ergonomic but also lightweight.

You just buy this mouse try it out and tell me the tracking isn't great - thats the main thing this mouse has going for it.

Now there is a fairly major issue in the sense that the middle scroll wheel click has about 1/4 of a second input delay and is a hardware problem meaning it cannot be fixed by updating drivers. Aside from this it is hard to find fault with this mouse.

This only worked for me once. For as long as it lasted i had amazing rockets and a good dodge. All the rest failed horribly and since i was only focused on the effect itself, i lost all of my games.
Play a FFA vs bots in Dev mode in timescale 2. /god and /give all are recommended. Play for at least 15 minutes! Then immediately play an online match. The game should seem slower. I hope it works the way it did for me. Was kinda cool.

Posted by xoji @ 13:14 BST, 23 May 2013 - iMsg
If all participants used the same peripherals and were only able to tweak their settings via the GUI. How much of an impact would this have on their game? Would players styles be noticeably different or would this experiment just show how it really is all in your mind and what you're comfortable with.

Also, I think it would be cool if we had a top down camera POV that focused on each players mouse movements that could later on be embedded with VODs from the stream.

Why noone really gets banned (42 comments)
Posted by CooloutAC @ 14:27 BST, 22 May 2013 - iMsg
1. They don't even require you to verify your email. WTF? true story
2. Most people can change their ip address on the fly every 24-48 hours in their router.
3. in windows 7, if on ethernet, you can manually change your mac address to w/e the hell you want.
4. you can download a program from microsoft to change your volume id and you windows id. You can easily change your vid card id...and use diff drivers.

and i think i proved these points to id over the past week or two. Today i just changed my ip so i could post on the forums i was just ip banned from. That loser admin knows the deal now.


the only way to better effectively ban someone is to ask for credit card numbers and link them to cell phone numbers....that you text activation account numbers to.

but id doesn't care. all they care about is what the housewives of this game think.

i got banned from this game by a bunch of housewives that id employees are infatuated with. All because i don't want to friend a bunch of hackers on facebook.

to me hackers are poison for this industry whether they are botting in game or not. And these little nerds threatening to hack me...and virusing my pc and hacking my facebook only proves my point.

game is full of housewives...old disabled people, delusional complacent nerds and malicious hackers.....that could care less about competitive matches.

there is nothing hardcore about stacking teams and quitting games. where the biggest clans are run by girls who are the complete opposite of hardcore and competitive lol.

pretty much explains why this game is so unpopular.

in lol the ban for :
1. slumming
2. alting
3. quitting

Its a shame the housewives that run quakelive don't approve of these measures.

Quakelive.....the game for housewives....lol

Hello everyone. As some of you might know, I've been collecting Logitech MX-series mice for some years now. I currently own 5 MX300's and 8 MX500's. (For people interested in buying the MX300's.. Maybe in the near future. ;) )

I think most people here on ESR are enlightened about these top-notch mice, but for the less-educated, here's a link to the ESR MouseScore 2007.

What are some of the things you've hoarded over the years? What made you start collecting them?

I experimented with mice when I use to play cs1.6 & started appreciating basketball sneaker when I worked retail at a sporting goods store. I'm currently using the Logitech G400 because I'm stuck playing with my laptop on Windows 8 (unable to overclock USB for the other mice) & playing ball with my 3 pairs of adidas sneakers.

Also, can you guys recommend some competitive video games? I haven't played much since I stopped playing cs in 2008. I prefer something that is not FPS because I'm playing with a laptop and cannot play at 100/120hz.

Ok, so it sounds more like Jamiroquai than DP, but I guess I know why they quit for a while. Its probably a decent album in its own right, but based on the stuff they did in the past and what I was expecting, its not hitting the spot.

Anyway does anyone have any more bands like how Daft Punk used to be as I'm in dire need of some new tunes and I can honestly say I do not think a single track off the new album is going to make my playlist.

Heartless off probation (29 comments)
Posted by He4rTL3sS @ 11:54 BST, 20 May 2013 - iMsg
I think that I deserve to be removed from probation level

I mean, I'm a big star now, everybody knows me, I got a lot of fans, and I'm one of the best quake player ever, along with cooller, rapha, cypher and evil. Everyone loves and respect me, because I practiced hard to be at the top, but there I am!

If that happens, I'll probably post more pictures of me and my muscular body, because everyone is a little bit homosexual, especially those who suffer from homophobia. I mean, people like to look at me, because I'm such an handsome guy, people respect me a lot, just like they respect Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

So, pls, heartless off probation!

P.S.: I'm sorry for you if you are ugly and/or fat, but not everyone can be good looking like heartless, I know, life is hard sometime. But as long as you're not a hater, it's ok really, maybe you're a funny guy, girls like funny guys.

Moving again, opinions? (82 comments)
Posted by tbone @ 10:18 BST, 20 May 2013 - iMsg
After being back in SA for the last 3 years, my bones are itching to move somewhere again. My girlfriend of the past 2 years also wants to go somewhere (She has never been out the country) so we have been discussing different places to move. My brother lives in Brisbane (AU) and has been wanting us to move there too, but the whole process of getting in there is expensive and complicated, especially when I have Italian citizenship and can live anywhere in Europe.

Some stats about me, I just turned 30 (yay.), have no debt and about $10 000 in assets. I am a native English speaker, but also speak Italian and Afrikaans (bastard dutch) and can read a bit of German.

I have about 10 years IT experience, 5 of those being programming experience, mostly specializing in: Python, Javascript, web2py/django, sql (sqlite, mysql, mssql), php, asp, vb, linux, apache, nginx, cpanel/whm setup, bash scripting etc. , git and cannot think of other relevant stuff while I am writing this out quickly.

Anyway, so we've been going through different european countries trying to figure out where we would like to go, and I would like to ask the opinions of other people. A lot of places have been eliminated due to language barriers, including Germany and Italy, because although my italian is functional, it work take me another year or so to get up to work level. I also don't really want to go to England again, but due to ease I have it as an option.

Holland:
Holland has some benefits, because everyone speaks english, and we would probably be able to learn dutch in a few months (90% of the vocabulary is the same as afrikaans), but I get the feeling it will be very crowded, and something else I'm not sure of makes we want to avoid it. Not being able to speak dutch straight away might stop us from getting work. My brother also lived there with his family for a year, and he liked it, but not to live.

England (Not London):
We are specifically looking at Bristol, as one of my girlfriend's friends lives there, and it sounds like a nice cultural, big, but not too big place. Looks like there are plenty of IT jobs, the downside being that it's England, and I've been there, and might feel crappy after living in London.

Norway:
Norway came up as an alternative to Iceland (below), but I'm not sure, because I am thinking it may be too similar to Sweden which I visited, and wouldn't really want to live there, but on paper it seems really nice, haven't really looked into it that much yet, so just want opinions.

The last 2 are our top 2 choices.

Iceland:
It's a pretty weird choice, but it looks like a really great place to live for at least a couple of years. We like the idea of living in a place that is the complete opposite of what we are used to (warm, crowded, poverty, bleh) they all speak english and it sounds like it's pretty easy to get work as a programmer.

Ireland:
Lots of benefits on paper, like same language, IT jobs, nice culture, friendly people etc. Main worry for me is the economy and whether it is too similar to england... and I am afraid I won't be able to understand what anyone says!


So yeah those are the ones we have been looking at. I have a soft spot for Eastern Europe and Germany, but the salaries/language barrier will probably be too difficult to overcome. We will probably go and check out Bristol, Ireland and Iceland on holiday next year.

TL;DR: I want your opinions of the countries in bold above.

Site - vids, vods, guide (7 comments)
Posted by esdf @ 00:41 BST, 20 May 2013 - iMsg
This started just as a page I could host my ctf guide on and ended being some sort of a hub for ql related stuff.

So, the relevant stuff:

url: http://ql.esdf.in/ and http://www.youtube.com/user/supesdf
content: ctf guide, frag movies, tournament vods, demos, configs, huds

the ctf guide is not really finished, latest update being may 10th, but it's 3/4 done, so I'm comfortable with posting here. The front page will get a redesign some time this year, depends when I get the time.

guide is basically all me until may 10th version, when it got heavily populated with raist's contributions (so I've just put the guy as co-author). i suggest you download the pdf or html, as the on-site version got quite bulky (wall-of-text bulky). might give that l2p page a redesign as well.

as far as fragvids go, uploaded a ton, mostly didn't check with authors if it's ok, so if for some reason you find your video being mirrored by me on site and youtube and don't like it, query on irc or leave a comment here, i'll remove it.

in the end, thanks to everyone who uploaded their demos, configs, etc. if there's more people interested in contributing in such a way, leave a comment here or query on irc.

edit: in case you missed it on site, here's a wallpaper contrib to quakelive scene by ahxnxa (nsfw).

justin-player twitch vods without flash (20 comments)
Posted by fau @ 21:11 BST, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
Another journal entry - another state-of-the-art bash script allowing you to avoid Adobe's excellent software.
Twitch.tv's flash player has been terrible recently - huge cpu load, framedrops and slow buffering.

livestreamer (and the little script I wrote) fixed the situation when it comes to live streams but watching recorded vods was still pain in the a**. Until now.


Here are few ttyshots for you enjoyment:


There are still some features I have in mind but I've decided that it's enough for myself. If you are using it then let me know and I may release v1.1 one day.
There may be some bugs - I didn't test it enough. Please let me know about them.
I enjoyed writing it and learned few nice bash tricks in the progress. I hope you enjoy it too :-)

# Update: Version 1.1 with Cygwin compatibility is out
# Update: Version 1.2 with bugfixes and minor changes. I hope it's bugfree now. Next release with mentioned features will probably be rewritten in python.

All this masturbating over pros is making me cringe . Yes they are talented at what they do but so would you if you was as dedicated.
Its come to a point people get shocked when they realize mr pro isnt this fake mr nice and actually tells them to fuck off. I can picture folk ripping posters off their bedroom walls while in floods of tears when they realize mr pro is just a normal everyday guy that gets fucked off with the constant hounding by little fanboys.

EpicRewind (No comments)
Posted by esdf @ 15:52 BST, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
http://www.reddit.com/r/esports/comments/1dle...ch_uses_a/


What is EpicRewind?

EpicRewind is PC software which provides "instant-replay" or DVR like video capture functionality to PC games. When running, your gameplay video is continuously buffered in fast System RAM, the contents of this buffer can be saved to a file with the press of a hotkey. Instead of pre-planning a gaming video you can selectively save the highlight moments after they happen. Ideal for MMOs and Multiplayer games where 99% of the gameplay isn't worth sharing and the interesting stuff can happen at unexpected times.
Awesome Performance

EpicRewind is different than other capture software you might be familiar with, video isn't being encoded and written to disk continuously. Instead, EpicRewind simply copies raw video frames into a rolling buffer in system RAM, writing to disk and encoding is deferred until you choose to save a video. This keeps your average system load to an absolute minimum and helps minimize the impact on your gameplay experience.
also, on linux version
from Zugdud sent 23 hours ago

Greetings! We would like to do Mac OSX and Linux ports eventually but first we are focusing on making the Windows version really solid/awesome. Would love to get that done eventually though
seems like a nice tool.

SQF duel cup VODs (4 comments)
Posted by Infuscomus @ 12:38 BST, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
Hey everybody. The SQD Fuel Cup #1 is now over and Guismo12 took the win against dem0n in a great double bo3 series. I encourage you to watch the grand final because it was really entertaining. Guismo12 gave an impressive railgun show, versus a somewhat weird dem0n launching good rockets but failing a lot with rails.

Unfortunately, strenx and Sev3n forfeited the competition early. That cup also allowed us to discover Yojji, the algerian player that performed pretty good.

FACEIT announce Points Cups & More (78 comments)
Posted by roychez @ 20:20 BST, 17 May 2013 - iMsg
Dear FACEIT and Quake followers,

After many months of supporting Quake Live, we had much feedback that you wanted more, bigger and better. We have worked hard to make this happen. What does this mean? More tournaments, more prizes, and more fun.

We will be hosting a minimum of eight FACEIT Points Tournaments a day starting coming Monday. In these tournaments you will be able to win points. After you have gathered a certain amount of FACEIT Points you will be able to exchange these points for prizes in our new Shop, such as hardware, but also special prizes such as a holiday in Andora, Stermy's place of birth, or a FACEIT branded Fiat 500 (yes, a real car!).

These FACEIT Points Tournaments are free to join up to four times per month. The flagship tournaments such as the Sunday Cups and Pick Up Games are still open for everyone and do not count towards the four monthly tournaments.

If you want to play more, you can upgrade your account to Unlimited or Premium. Unlimited will give you access to as many FACEIT Points Tournaments as you wish, while you can play in one Premium Tournament per month. Besides this, you will receive a badge on your profile, stating you as a "Supporter" of FACEIT. This all for as low as £2.99 per month.

Premium users will have all services available to them for as low as £5.99 per month. While they get all that Free and Unlimited users receive, they will be able to play in an unlimited amount of Premium Tournaments. Next to this they will receive a 1.5x FACEIT Points boost, access to Premium Prizes and a badge stating you as "Premium Supporter".

Should this model prove a success, we can further expand our support for Quake Live and become bigger and better for everyone!

I used an Abyssus for a few months before I had to sell it because of the jitter (This was ~1 year ago). I'm currently using a G400, but I can't get used to how large it is compared to the Abyssus.

Does the G100s have a perfect sensor (no jitter / no accel / no snapping)?

Does the Abyssus mirrored edition have the same jitter problem as the regular Abyssus?

Posted by tsipouro @ 14:49 BST, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
I plan on buying a desktop PC in a month or two. I didn't own one for around seven years and therefore am not really informed, so I will need a bit of consulting.
I planned on getting a medium-priced PC with a GPU around the price/performance of a GTX 650 (I won't play much besides ql and its predecessors). But is that enough to use lightboost to full extent? I read that one should get a 680 at least to utilize lb at 120hz. Is that only true if one wants to play graphics-intense stuff like bf3&sorts or also for ql?
Btw plan on getting a BenQ xl2411t.

Posted by M4nimal @ 12:19 BST, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
A great rivalry 10 years festering… An epic battle for honour and frags…Two of South Africa South Africa’s greatest and most respected Quakelive teams; the Anti-clan [nDc] and /xTc/, bringers of fear and madness, will take each other on in a true clash of the titans.


South Africa /xTc/ M4nimal, leader of Xperts@Total.Chaos: "Our motto is, LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE, which is exactly what you'll be doing"

South Africa [nDc] Disrupt0r, leader of No Damn Clan Quake division: “What will count tonight is not the size of [nDc] in the fight, it's the size of the fight in [nDc]”

Tonight at 9PM GMT +2, tune into twitch/ZA_Quakelive to watch as these leviathans engage in combat all the more terrifying for its cold and systematic slaughter. It’s time to settle a grudge recorded in the annals of Quake history. This isn't a clan match. This is war.

North Korean PROPAGANDA!

Because in the last time many media sources changed their "public enemy" from Iran to North Korea, it should be worth to take a look at north korean propanda instead of only listening to western brainwash because diversity is pretended to be a good thing:

Is the Zowie FK a viable replacement? (9 comments)
Posted by Anax @ 00:50 BST, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
I have been using the Zowie EC1 evo for a while now and as far as shape goes it is pretty much the best mouse for me and believe me i have tried a lot of different mice. (DA, Xai, mx518, etc)

However the problem is it feels really heavy to me. (97g without the cord)
So im thinking about replacing it for a mouse with less weight....

I've looked at a couple of mice and the FK looks good so far, as it only weighs 85g. What somewhat worries me is switching to a neutral shape after using a mouse designed for right handed players...

Any ideas/suggestions?

For all the oldschool hack n slash players that appreciate the good old loot system in Diablo II, happy news and happy days.
The Diablo II ladder was reset about 12 hours ago, its a clean sheet for everyone.

If there ever was a time to get back in it for a while it is now.

Hello,

I've been working on a new fragmovie for a while.

I worked now on the Intro or better to say at a small teaser trailer, or like we do say "Request Demos" vid.


Working time: about 10 mins.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_e...MXiZAUx_Ds

It was just a fast made thing to show off what it could be, so don't bother the sucky camera paths/ways.
Of course, i will put much more effort into it when i got some footage from you guys.

Sincerly,

Does QLRANKS always record your demos? (32 comments)
Posted by souljaboi @ 14:08 BST, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
and what method(or format) actually? only on twitch.tv or saves as a dm file?

because i think it's unfair to those who want privacy in their practice games.

My suggestion:
There should be a separate rankings(example: Duel) for Online and LAN games.

flame on....

WMO 1.1 or G400? (37 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 13:17 BST, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
OK guys... can you help me out? I have a G400 and a WMO... so far the WMO feels worse to me than the G400 - its DPI is only 400 and even with sensitivity cranked up to 2.5x the normal (10, default is 4) I have problems with undershooting my target... e.g with LG/MG the crosshair often stops just before the target whereas with the G400 everything feels spot on with 800 DPI and default sensitivity.

So what is your verdict G400 vs WMO? Both good mice... but which is better?

Captain Juan Cole strikes again (12 comments)
Posted by ScarletJohansonsFather @ 12:17 BST, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
So talking about immigration, AGAINNNNN..... bhahaha.
The guys do not understand why I do not want to let 100 Muslim kiddos play in my front yard. Maybe because through other things they will start one day fighting each other while breaking my things in the process and maybe because each part will call for reinforcements and generally I do not want to share my yard with them amyway?

So, here's the point on the matter with his so-called scientific approach on the matter of anti-Muslim Racism in the Netherlands, with which occasion I plead my case on immigration that someone around here talked about:

http://www.juancole.com/2013/05/sanctificatio...theim.html

Let’s just try to think about things without using numbers chronological dates and other pseudo-scientific arguments for a moment, because all it takes in this case is not history lessons but reason. Shall we?
So why would a certain ethnicity immigrate in another country in high numbers? There are two problems here: one is the demographics which if let by it can really overthrow the nation and second it is that because these immigrants all around the world they tend to unite and so they form communities, which are bound very tight by their ethnic and religious connections in a much more strong connection than the nation they put their foot in, because that nation do not feel the urge to unite their people because it is quite evident that there is no urge or danger of disband of their rules and their identity -well at least this is what they think, mostly at the beginning. This is why the immigrants have relative economical success and not because they would be natural or educational wise “superior” -after all, they are not people of great capacity and iron will, but people who did NOT SUCCEED at home. And Europe is in no way comparable to the American model regarding the immigration problem because the US was created by immigrants -and this is maybe the cause why the US became the economical and political superpower that it is today, by those many many different ethnic and religious bounds of various people -not different enough to start civil wars very often, and not united enough as a whole to not make the difference between their groups. This is why Hitler was able to make Germany the superpower that the country was in the beginning of the XX century, not by terror but because whatever his delusions point is that he was able to unite the nation.
If I’d ever decide to move in another country forced by the poor conditions in my country I’d isolate myself if not of all people then most certain I’d isolate myself of my compatriots who’s fault would be for me who left my country behind, and I’d feel ashamed anyway to form packs groups tribes call it however you want inside a foreign country, not ashamed like being driven by feelings of inferiority but by morale matters. But maybe this is just me not having the attitude of a loser.

Youtube videos and frags (10 comments)
Posted by megaman3 @ 22:22 BST, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
There are tons of ~1:00 or less Q3 and QL videos on youtube, or that aren't strictly about the game. Lets make a thread about them \o/.

Idea is not to post the usual long fragmovies or full matches, but instead those single play videos that appear on your youtube subscriptions and favorites, or that are gaming and quake related.

Please use the tags 'hide' and 'youtube'.

He just posted a note on a new modular engine he's working on, nice read.

Quite surprising to see that he made the choice to use a messaging middleware (ZeroMQ) to communicate between threads Oo

Opening/Cleaning SS kana (4 comments)
Posted by STINKLIKESOCK @ 16:42 BST, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
I'm clueless when it comes to any sort of mice modification / opening them up, can't find any videos for the Kana so thought i'd ask here...

I spilled beer over my Kana, fortunately Mouse1/2 is working perfectly still, but the scroll click is stuck and doesn't do anything, mouse 4 is working but noisy and slightly sticky...

How easy / difficult will it be to clean the mouse to get it as it was? How hard is disassembling and reassembling the Kana? Any videos or forum threads that could assist?

Trying to decide whether or not just to buy a new one and save the fucking around.

FACEIT Daily Cups 13-16 May (14 comments)
Posted by ins @ 16:28 BST, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
Here are the FACEIT Daily Cups for 6 to 9 May. All the cups will kick off at 19:30 BST, with check-ins opening at 18:30 BST, except for the CA cups, which will start one hour earlier, 18:30 BST (check-in opens at 17:30 BST).

Monday will feature the Level 4 and Level 8 duel cups, while on Wednesday the other two levels, 6 and 10, will be able to face each other off.

This week we will be featuring two Team Deathmatch cups instead of CA. On Tuesday the TDM 2v2 Cup will take place, while on Thursday teams of four can get their fix. This does not mean we will stop hosting CA cups, but we will be alternating every week between TDM and CA.

You can create a team in the right top corner (2/4 - depending which cup - players per team max.). If you are already in a team, you will have to quit it. Be sure all players check-in.


Don't forget you can play on the FACEIT QL Ladder every evening from 17:00 BST till 23:00 BST!
