Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word “wand” with “wang” in the first Harry Potter Book
Let’s see the results…

The troll couldn’t feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry’s wang had still been in his hand when he’d jumped – it had gone straight up one of the troll’s nostrils.

My shiny new toys *oh-so-evil-evil-grin

I just recieved my GTX280OC from Asus and my OCZ DDR3 Triple Channel 1600 Mhz RAM at a latency of 8-8-8-24.

*Drools

Now I just need the rest of the computer xD

Accepting monetary donations at this point ;D Shadow!

Taken a few days off, back now!

Practice Tuesday

I’ve invited Ool for a practice match on tuesday at 8:00 PM melbourne time, let the lobster cooking commence!

xD

On a second note, I have it on the best of authorities that if still possible we will be challenged by Ool, and we can hopefully set a date for sunday for a great scrim.

(edit: dirty rat challenged GmZ. GRUMBLE!@##$!@
The prac scrim is still a go.)

*fingers crossed

Insurgency

Insurgency is another steam game, to be precise, a mod of Half Life 2.

Insurgency pits two teams (the americans and the insurgents) against each other in an ultra realistic bloodbath for control of ‘zones’ within the current theatre of combat. Infantry only, a single burst from an AK74 will drop someone dead, and grenades and RPG’s leave your ears ringing and deaf for a short period of time. Bullets go thru some surfaces, allowing some sneaky strategies to be employed, but overall, Insurgency is one hell of a fun, addictive, realistic, true to life first person shooter that tests teamwork skills and situational awareness, and of course, your shooting skills.

The weapons have no computer aided sights, its all manual, and ironsighted/scoped.

It has a pretty active australian community, roughly half the size of ETQW, and players can always be found on servers.

I’m a huge fan of the game and genre (realistic fps), and I highly recommend it to all of you.

Basically Gamearena has shit itself.

Freewheelin is working on the problem.

Good choice in my honest estimation

Oozaru, by his own words, is a player that like far too many in our community, gave the game up for ghost shortly after the ladder became unappealing to him.

I think that he will fit in well with IPX, and even perhaps contribute to our team in areas other than ETQW.

Overall, a level headed bloke, that i’ve had many a joke with since he came back, and is never too serious when it comes to the game.

Just like many of us, he’s in it for the fun,

hence,

Discuss?

Let the games begin!

Take this post with a grain of salt, but I reckon IPX has great potential, so i’ll impart some wisdom I learnt while in MaD.

Golden Rules of ETQW Scrims:

#1: Never lemming attack
This is defined as running into a situation that is unwinnable.
Examples:
a) Frontal assualts on heavy weapons (other than rocket) with no cover to protect yourself.
b) Letting the front line dissolve into reinforcement waves of 1 or 2 soldiers.
c) Attacking more than one enemy soldier without a wingman.
Solution: In these cases, if practical, respawn, and regroup. Never rush an enemy unless in a coordinated group. Use flanking and cover. Retreat if necessary, but only if firing back at the enemy. Work as a team. Report threats when practical, i.e. “Hyper Left flank bridge” when you spot the enemy not while the team is engaged shooting them. Maintain operational seperation. Maintain your formation!

#2: Never lemming objective

Low graphics tourney configs

There are a lot of good configs floating around, but here is mine, I need it to run ETQW on my crappy system. You will probably need to change a few binds and crosshair colours etc, but overall, its quite good:

bind “DEL” “kill” “shift”
seta s_decompressionLimit “6”

seta in_anglespeedkey “1.5”
seta in_pitchspeed “140”
seta in_yawspeed “140”
seta s_useAdpcmCompression “1”
seta ui_showGun “0”

seta pm_runbob “0”
seta pm_runpitch “0”
seta pm_runroll “0”
seta pm_bobpitch “0”
seta pm_bobroll “0”
seta pm_bobup “0”
seta pm_crouchbob “0”
seta pm_walkbob “0”

seta net_clientPunkbusterEnabled “1”//enables punkbuster client
