There's a thread on SPUF about the placebo effect in TF2. I decided that this topic is interesting, so I'd like to share some of my experiences with you. You can join in and add some of your own experiences in the comments.
My experiences:
General:
Random Crits are cheap: 70% of the times I died, even if I would have died anyway, it's to a random crit.
Sentry Annoyance: Whenever I tell my team that there's a sentry ahead, they run in and get themselves killed.
Scout:

Before you start shouting "GET BATTLEFIELD" or "GET SKYRIM", take a look at the games I already have and what's in my wishlist. http://steamcommunity.com/id/40KEndgame/games?tab=all http://steamcommunity.com/id/40KEndgame/wishlist/
Based on what you see in my collection and in my wishlist, what can you recommend to me? If you need more information, I'm into shoot-em-ups (vertical scroll, horizontal scroll or 3D into-the-screen), Racing (competitive arcade and simulation), Strategy (turn bas
I might as well just cough up my secrets to accurate weather forecasting, since some members might want to know. I don't go by NOAA, The Weather Channel or Accuweather. I use a Fitzroy's Storm Glass - a glass tube filled a water/ethanol mixture and two different salts. The dissolved salts form crystalline structures that change form with the barometric pressure.
How to read:
If the liquid is clear, expect fair weather.
If the liquid is cloudy, expect overcast skies with a chance of r
First off, we need to figure out the problem. This is not a replacement troubleshooter, rather this is a solution to a problem that VALVe has failed to acknowledge.
First off, try EVERYTHING they suggest in the troubleshooter. You can find it at https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9402-MKEN-1517
If that doesn't work, there's a fix that they mentioned in my support ticket that seems to help with some issues.
If none of those work, then we've identified th
Alright. I just want to comment on a few things.
First off...
What is a "Dead Unicorn Trope"
If a "Dead Horse Trope", a trope that has become so overused that parodying it has become a trope of its own, wasn't really a trope to begin with, it is considered a "Dead Unicorn Trope" instead, since it's a combination of unicorns never existing to begin with, unicorns being described as horses with single horns on their heads, and the whole "beating a dead horse" figurative saying.
Traveler
I have walked the streets of the Dark City, and crossed blades with graceful alien gladiators.
I have explored deep caves of green glowing gems, and have claimed the heads of stone golems.
There is not a more beautiful sight then a sunset over an ocean of mercury.
I have seen the great spires of a metropolis long ago, and raced great flying chariots through sprawling deserts.
I have trekked through rainforests and grasslands, and befriended the amazing creatures that live t
This random thought came to my head, but in Warhammer 40,000 Lasguns are S3 AP- Rapid Fire. Because of this, they are almost worthless against heavy armoured troops like Space Marines, Eldar Aspect Wariors, Dark Eldar Incubi, and Tau Battlesuits.
Space Marine Power Armour gives an armour save of 3+ (requiring a 3, 4, 5, or 6 on a six sided die), meaning that it's very strong.
Assuming that a Blaster from Star Wars is about as strong as a Lasgun, yet it can blow holes through Stormtroop
Well, first off, I'm getting a major case of Deja Vu here. When Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver were released, a Team Rocket Takeover was staged on Bulbagarden.
My allegiances are where the similarities end. On Bulbagarden I sided with the resistance, here I side with the Empire.
In other news, well, it's still related but until this whole thing blows over I'm the unofficial Tie-Fighter repairman at a remote imperial outpost.
Alright, I have to admit that I'm taking my pleasant time with the Minecraft server, since the most recent updates have made me hesitant to start it up again. Until then, I have started a new Garry's Mod Spacebuild server.
In other news, my IP address has changed to 97.95.232.155. Garry's mod is on port 27015, Minecraft will be on port 25565, Trackmania2 will be accessible through port 2350, and TF2 will be available through port 27016 in order to avoid line interference.
The Garry's M
First off, I apologize for not being on - and with more than just the site.
Computer problems have once again caused me to have to take down my servers. Because of this, the servers will be down for a few more days and will gradually started up over a few weeks.
Well, I was working on a radio control AGR (Anti Gravity Racer - the term is a misnomer since it's actually just a technologically advanced conventional hovercraft) and left the project alone for a while, only to find out that everything is missing. I put a lot of time, effort and money in to that thing only to find that it was for nothing.
Was it really for nothing, though? I did learn a lot about the process of developing such a vehicle...
Also, although the vehicle itself is missing
Well, a friend and I succeeded in creating a variant of the fabled Black Hole glitch in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as you will see in the screenshot.
Unfortunately, the game hanged and I couldn't get any more pictures, but I'm sure one image is proof enough.
How to create a Black Hole in Super Smash Bros. Melee (Double Ness/Flipper Method - Requires Action Replay MAX or equivalent):
You will need the "Super Ness" code active. Debug Mode helps too.

I promised to leak a bit of info about one of my projects, so here goes...

is a game I am working on in the source engine. It will be a Sci-Fi FPS with some RPG and RTS components and an emphasis on Shipboarding and Planetfall actions. In addition the game will be vehicle heavy, where both sides will have access to tanks (not grav-tanks, more like the Landmaster from Star Fox Assault but with a railgun instead of a laser), fighters, everything up to light transport gunships. I
I've been playing Metal Drift recently, and I have to say it is the must have game of today.
Alright. The game is a hybrid Sci-Fi Sports/Racing/FPS game where you are essentially playing Soccer with hover tanks. In order for your team to win they must score more goals than the opponent.
The game has decent graphics quality, on par with the XBOX 360, though a little shiny for the quality level like Trackmania Original/Sunrise/Nations/United. Energy effects are TF2 Cow Mangler level and

Well, now that I'm hosting a Minecraft server (75.136.114.99:25565) alongside my Team Fortress 2 server, I've decided to come up with a project.
I'm working on a small mining town in the center of the island where you first spawn, and I'd like to set up more on other islands. Problem is, I need to do four things first.
1. Level the terain around the city without disturbing any of the mine entrances
2. Build a road system complete with glowstone streetlights.
3. Stabilize the
Alright, I don't have LRR installed on this computer yet, but once I do I will attempt an overhaul mod.
Fronteer Miners
Storyline: A group of miners from a frontier colony have discovered a new resource, Ununoctite, in a nearby system. This crystalline compound contains a stable isotope of the heavy element Ununoctium (No. 118, atomic weight 294 in most common isotope), Ununoctium297, which in theory bonds with silver to create the metallic compound required to manufacture the extrem
Alright. While chatting I got into a little "argument" with the member who is currently know as Rainbow Dash (I can't wait until that fad blows over, it's driving me insane!) about Google.
To basically state my position, it's not that I don't like Google's software, but I can't respect a company that can influence the world economy like that.
As for Apple, they steal software and digital media. OSX 10.x is a re-skin of FreeBSD 4.2, a now outdated OS based on Unix, and lot of songs on
I was building an architectural model of a random skyscraper when the program lagged out. So I saved the file and restarted LDD. The file wouldn't load and the program started lagging again. Keep in mind that I'm using a computer that is known to be able to run Crysis 2, so it's not my specs. TLG had enough time to fix the bugs.
I hereby declare LEGO Digital Designer Failware.
The reason we still use it is because there's no alternative. It's either this or not using it at all.
Prenote: sorry about the JPEGs. Steam doesn't render in any other format.
Well, the newest version of Trackmania has been in open beta for almost a week. Trackmania2, as it is called, isn't a 100% new game (it still runs the same engine with a few changes to allow for the addition of new environments as they are released, as well as the addition of the rumored Shootmania and Questmania games upon release). However, it has undergone a much needed graphics update.

I never intended to be away, but things happen and I ended up moving on for a while.
My computer went down a long while ago (it's been fixed for a while now), and when I fixed it I had learned about a game called Garry's Mod. Yes, Garry's Mod. The glitchiest game in existence. Combine that with Team Fortress 2 (an awesome FPS/Military themed hat collecting sim, depending on your view) and Trackmania United Forever, I guess I just couldn't get back on for a while.

Ok, this is more of a list of the relations between the three than a story.
