Steelseries mouse $50

Submitted by Fuzz on Mon, 06/04/2009 - 18:38

I noticed the Steelseries Optical (and laser) Gaming mouse is $50 at JB. Both n0mad and myself have this mouse, purchased for ~$100 only a few months ago and have been nothing but happy. Lt’s one broke, but so did his other 9 mice so I’m assuming he’s using his as a hammer.

Anyway, if you’re interested, here’s some pics:

and the product link: http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/mice/ikari_optical/information

For $50, it’s well worth it (hell I was happy to pay $99)

Game Arena Write Up
Tonight: Monday 06/04/09 at 8:00pm

Skullz vs Wood Ducks

Result: Skullz 2-0
Badluck Ducks h0pefully you’ll stick around for Season 5

Maps
Skullz have chosen Refinery.
Wood Ducks have chosen Area 22.
The decider will be Salvage.

Tv Server Here: 203.59.128.220:27833
or just click on ETQW TV server and it should B the top 1 listed

Default demo camera speed is 200. You can use the console with pm_democamspeed XXX where XXX is your preference.
As a guide 600 is excellent for large maps with action all over the place.
333 is better and allows you to free cam comfortably above the players.

w0uld like to welcome all IPX onto our mumble server to discuss the action as viewed through the ETQW TV server…….

Cya’s in Mumble t0night……

Screw Daylight Savings

Submitted by Fuzz on Mon, 06/04/2009 - 11:12

Due to the time changing for daylight savings ending, and the site being so flexible as to let every user have their own time zone, most of your time zones are out of whack right now.

This issue has been around for a while (1), and the workaround is still applicable. So please take a second to check your time zone settings and update them accordingly (important for challenge times appearing correctly).

L4D Matchmaking Plans [Apr 01, 2009, 8:47 pm ET]

Submitted by Robag on Fri, 03/04/2009 - 14:03

An update to the Left 4 Dead Blog outlines plans to revise the matchmaking system in Left 4 Dead in the future.
The update is written by Dave “Zoid” Kirsch, an old friend from the community who is now apparently at Valve, and he outlines how more matchmaking flexibility is in the works:

In a recent update for L4D on the PC, we provided the option for players to choose between starting a game on an Official server or the Best Available. This is just the first step in giving players control over what servers they play on and the type of experience they have.

This is part of the L4D SDK rollout, which is currently in a closed beta and will be released shortly after the launch of the L4D Survival Pack.

Dug this up the other day, I like Richard Branson’s attempt with the UFO shaped balloon, even if he landed abit early ;p

Also I like the Kremvax usenet one, especially how Moscow took the name “in honor” 6 years later hehe.

What are your plans for the day, if any? =p

1) I’ve already taken the liberty of removing all teaspoons from the kitchen, barring the one with the hole ground off, of course ( the holey spoon)
2) Moving the remote temperature for the weather station from outside, to its new location inside the fridge.
3) Done the dishes.

Have a good day. Do we have to end on Local, or GMT time?

Yes it’s that time again, Review time. Now as I know Shad and n0mad have noticed that for the last couple of weeks I have been playing a new game (see above). Now since they have both been nagging me like little girls (:p) about what it’s like it made me think “review time” so with no further adieu shall we get into it.

First things first, if you don’t like flying games then you should go right now because you will not like this review and Shad will post a rant when he finds out that you don’t.
There are not many really strong games that grab you in the aerial combat genre but I have found this game is hard to put down. We will start with the single player campaign.
