Nice. GG NaAani, very nice scores against such an opponent :P

lol ztrider quit wow now

seriously, uninstall wow

the game is not that bad, but he just doesn't seem to play serious

to all ppl telling me to quit wow, i already did, just that i had a fever yesterday and my throat hurt like hell (still does though i dont have a fever anymore)

Might sound like a bad excuse but its the truth =(

that would be the wow withdrawls :P

haha yeha its my abstinence (spelling?) acting up right ?

tbh I don't even miss the game a little bit :)

it will get worse. i'm now clean for 3-4 months.

next step will be that you suddenly have a lot of time on your hands and you dont know what to do with it. that is the dangerous step when 99% of all addicts fall back to wow.

hope you make it.

yeah im kinda feeling it ;)

BUT I WILL MAKE IT

various series + practice helps me during the day at least when no one is at home ;)

I just got back in again, naxx is fun :<

don't make it! i want hawaii-trip ;)

Whats a hawaii trip got to do with that? :O

Maybe he's made a bet? :D

s'all bout yahoo pool
best game eva

that's just so sad..

You watch Swedish Idol a lot?

no why ?

the "my throat hurts" thing, pretty common on Czech Idol

haha ok! well this is not a singing contest so that didnt really have any impact on my performance ;) but fever sux 0(

Probably from sucking the judges dicks!

truth be told, your ability to sing during the game has great impact on the outcome of the game =)

ye chromaggus is shit anyway :P

migrated to Emeriss ;)

just quit, it's an enormous waste of time :O

done already ;)

gj you shitty shammy~

last 2 names of the guilds I was in, Just Quit and Wasting Time :D

That game was pretty ugly. I haven't been able to practice due to RSi and Ztrider, as he said, had a fever.
Felt quite noob tbh =P

What's with all the RSI stuff lately? Get in shape and stop using CS sensitivity B-[

afaik RSi is caused by stress

hmm, kinda true; but its not all stress

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_strain_injury

Repetitive strain injury (RSI), also called repetitive stress injury

didnt read the rest ;) just some parts

then you should go on and read the definitions of stress.
Just hint: It can mean physical pressure ;)

its hard for swedes since the swedish word for stress ISN'T the same word we use for physical stress in materials.
the word 'stress' popped up in swedish when it was popularized in english for the same meaning. BUT the english word for stress (the on u have as a person) came from the other word stress (that of course didnt) as u were put pressure on and it seamed like a good word.

note: The swedish word for stress is spänning, not to be confused the OTHER swedish word spänning meaning voltage :D:D

actually it's hard for Germans as well cause here we have the German word "stress" only for the psychological aspect of the English stress. I just happened to know the difference the English one ;)

Sureley you know the difference, just that in some cases it's hard to think about it when you read the word =)

It dosn't have all that much to do with beeing in shape.
It was in my cause probably caused by a change in mousestyle, and that I played ALOT during that change.
From what I've seen many people who has gotten RSI in the wrists has gotten it after a change of mousestyle, probably due to you not beeing use to playing that way and therefore you move it in ways that hurts the wrists and in ways that you're not use to moving it.

Low sens probably dosn't have *all* that much to do with it eather as it seems like alot of really lowsens users (see ztrider =P) dosn't get RSI.
I'm using around 25cm for a 360 turn and I know that alot of people use way lower.

i heard reduced masterbation frequency helps

he pays people to do that for him..

and can you actually make a living out of it? ;-)

if you're interested further in persuing a career in this area I suggest you contact nannis on irc.

Just in case you're reluctant to hit the weights and/or exercise as the Wiki article suggests (fuck if I know what you do everyday >_>), I'd recommend doing certain mundane tasks to help your forearms such as moving heavy things from one point to another (ie, moving big boxes, carrying groceries and other things from the car, etc.). As someone who's often busy but does stuff like this in little amounts of time yet on a regular basis, I've never had anything as remotely similar to RSI, let alone RSI itself, ever.

deadlift.

Well, in my case at least, the reason is not the wrists beeing weak.

o rly

Ya rly.
At least if you are suposed to trust the doctors who has actualy looked at my wrists.

why and how did u change your mouse style? I'm kinda having problems finding a consequent and comfortable way of playing...

I changed because I used a sens and style that worked well for me when I played tdm and ctf but not so well in duel (high sens and wrist only movements).
I changed to a lower sens and a mix between wrist and arm movements.

ok thx-_-v

wouldn't less sensitivity be better because you move your arm more? i feel way less stress on my hands now.. perhaps it's just because i cba to move the mouse 3miles a day ;D

It matters but you can get RSI wile using high sens too =P

??

uNkind must be sick then! That's why he's not comming back to gaming. Mystery solved!

There have been several reports notifying that mouse acceleration causes no RSI at all.

I played wrist-only-style with sens'es ranging from 17 to 25cm/360 and never had a sign of RSI and I played lots and lots.... doubt sens has much to do with it tbh it's more a sign of bad/improper technique :>

that's neither proof nor low sense ;D

but you're probably right with bad/improper technique, as i can imagine that is the mainproblem - only guessed that senseincrease would eliminate most of the problem since it did so in my case.

yea a sensincrease as in 'a higher sens' helped me too... but seriously 25cm/360 and wrist-only means a hell lot of work :>

sry, i meant to write sensedecrease.

looks like a performance excuse tournament is going on here :p

Demo wont play, missin some spastic map that i have but cant load it. demoenforce 1/2 does fuck all. But it looks like i missed sod all tho.

Actually, it's a great example of why so many people have justifiably given up on Q4.

The eternal clusterfuck of not even being able to play a freakin DEMO, let alone an actual game, without having to hunt down some random, bullshit, UNRELATED PK4 just makes it not worth the effort for most people, and I don't blame them.

It's been a YEAR since Q4 was released, and Raven's incompetence is STILL making the game inaccessible to far too many potential players. Hardly any wonder that it HAS so few players as a result.

The workaround is to turn off demo_enforceFS completely, start a listen server ON Placebo, disconnect, and THEN run the demo.

Pretty intuitive eh?

Cheers, god q4 is just like London, a patched up mess!

Ouch.

what would it take you to make a CPMA for urneal tournament arQon? I got like 60 bucks, we need to get the fucking rockets and TiW weapons fixed.

hahaha do you SHOUT certain WORDS when you talk in real LIFE?

you can put emphasis on a word without having to shout :p

Aw but you've ruined it now! ;(

didn't MEAN to do SO ? :p

actually the netiquette says that you should do it like *so* or _so_ then, not SO...

But arQon ist quite right on that matter. I wish I could have a better understanding on why it is that hard to fix the issue, as well as the issue with jerky spec-demos... *sigh*

What makes me really pissed is that besides all the bugs, quake4 gameplay (movement, weapons, etc.) is way too much fun for me, to go back to q3...

do you make a question mark after each question you ask in real life?

:>:>:>

You'd be suprised, smiley face.

kinda sad if ppl stop playin a game coz they cant watch a demo rofl

Well I guess nobody would quit a game because he could not watch _one_ demo.
But the point is, that someone who has gotten somewhat into q4 and tries to watch some demos will propably fail on every second attempt...

...each time with a different error...

Plus he gets fucked up sound. This can make some people quit, or lets say not dive deeper into a game/scene...

Lets hope id/raven will finally do something about it.

quit wow, why? this guy just isnt up too par, like i said in another post which was flamed like hell.

Maybe naani is good on the internet, but he would suck on lan.

That argument is so dumb, it's incredible it still carries weight. Changing from 30 ping on the internet to 0 ping on lan is like changing from 60 ping on the internet to 30 ping on the internet. Which is something we've all done. It's not much different. You die a little faster, you kill a little faster. The strategies are all the same. The same people who win online, win on lan.

Back in the oldschool days, we had terms for people who could only win with low pings - "All-Ping", "Ping-Whore", for example. These types were considered the worst players. We would play with 100 ping to their 30, and still kick their asses. Now, politics has turned things around. These days, if you win with 30 ping online, but you don't go to lans, you're worthless.

The argument is nonsense. It's the same as calling someone a cheater after they beat you. It's a way of saving face.

ye ur in a way correct, but it sounds a lil bit harsh. cauze there are several other sources of stress u have to handle on lan. so only some ppl are capable to solve these things, i think there will be forever these so called online stars..

Good for me that I don't suffer much from lan pressure and having 50000 csplayers screaming behind me =P
I tend to play just as good/bad on lan as I do online.

What I don't understand though, is you people not understanding that fever = ugly play.
If we where both at our best shape the scores would be quite diffrent. I'd guess something around 30-10 to ztrider.

Man I wouldn't be able to hit anything even if I had 5 CS players screaming behind my head. D:

We played with 4 cs teams screaming behind us at wsvg sweden. =P
I actualy hit quite alot, but I lost badly anyway cause I had only been playing ctf since christmas ;)
Played just as bad as I did in my online games ;D

i can understand u, was just refering to #40 :-)

When someone like Naymlis can beat Clamp (NYC resident) on a Chicago server, I'm not saying that that became the outcome solely 'cause of ping-related issues and such, but I think that just goes to show how playing on nothing but LAN and online w/ LANish pings can leave you somewhat unprepared for online play.

The same can apply the other way around: you have to learn to stop leading like you do online when you play on LAN for the first time. The former situation, however, is undoubtedly harder as I remember online play being so "blah" when I got home from ISC. I think many others know where I'm coming from.

They were referred to as "LPB" or "Low-ping bastards" and I was one of the first in Quebec which gave me a big edge on winning those RiTd games :)

"These days, if you win with 30 ping online, but you don't go to lans, you're worthless."

or you cheat :\

Some nice railing from naani, and some lolly action's by ztrider :D

why do people still reply to wizdumb?

why am i replying to you?

because I reply :(

jonsey never ever replies =[

dw ztrider 50% of the euros u face online dont make it to lan in dallas or wsvg so just say you didnt try and you wanted to vs a "real opponent"
