the ergonomy class i studied suggested that you have at least 20 cm of space where you can rest your arms/wrists when you type for maximum stability and less strain on your arms. having them in the air is not very comfy in the long run if you spend 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer.

spreadlimit is stupid, if youre such a crap player you deserve to get beaten. get someone from your on skill to play instead.

in q3 you can change something called s_occfactor or similar to 'change' where the sound comes from. i hear the real thing it does is change how much sound that walls absorb. i have no clue how it works in other games.

what game do you wish to discuss hitboxes?

your ergonomic class sucks.

i'm beaten whether the game is 15 minutes or 1 minute. what's the point in playing the full time. i deserve to get beat? wait a minute i thought these were games of fun. i don't think it's fun getting owned or even owning.

hitboxes, they're never accurate

uhh, whatever you say honey. ask any expert.

playing is for fun, if its not fun you shouldnt play. it's pretty simple. if you are the worse player you should lose big time since thats the reality, no? anyhow, if you find yourself beaten hard and you dont enjoy it i give you the tip of a lifetime: dont play the same guy until you got some more skeilz!
some might say never to give up. i only know of like one or two established sports that use this system youre talking of and thats golf and tennis, right?

hitboxes are accurate. models on the other hand might not fit to the hit boxes which is a totally different 'problem'. it could be solved if developers made everyone play with the same model. i however cant remember even once beeing irritated by inaccurate hitboxes. i play q3 mostly and it seems fine there to me.

im starting to wonder how its possible that i disagree with you on every point :D

so you don't find winning or losing 50-0 over 15 minutes boring. finding these similar skilled players is fine in theory, but it's impossible 80% of the time.

no one wonder scene sucks so bad lately, hb was right.

i find all duels boring but thats not the discussion here... its if people who get raped should be "saved by the bell" earlier which i think is wrong...

im not following your last statement, are you talking about some duel scene or what?

As a player who loses duels constantly and badly, there are irc channels where one can request matches i.e: 1v1 me low/mid/high/uberskill

So there goes your (fake accounts) argument down the toilet?

s_occfactor is a cpm-only cvar that determines how much sound is obsucred by walls.

ye i forgot its cpma only :)

spreadlimit 10 would be gay, its not impossible to make a comeback from 15-5

That doesn't mean it's not useful. It could be used in regular, everyday play, and you could still use a normal timelimit with no "spreadlimit" for tournaments.

I'd go for a 20 spread, though.

20 would be cool :)

Spreadlimit is interesting, especially for team games.

my poo is intresting aswell, care to take a look?

I think these people will be highly interested.

just callvote timelimit whatever the time is if you are to far behind and call gg?

success

Use headphones instead of speakers to get better directional hearing.

yeah headphones are absolutely critical unless you have high quality speakers positioned so that they're perfectly to your immediate left and right of your computer chair

Spread limit is a problem because it's seen as lame to quit a game

I came up with a ~ solution which would address the problem and perhaps more importantly re-program the motivation for one to whine about it or be seen as quitter which is often a problem in online FPS gaming.

I also did something similar for player spawns so one could never whine about where they started, bit too far ahead of its time though.
But give it time.

lol your post is dumb on so many levels

About having the option for giving up: I was thinking much time ago about this, like you can give up in a chess match, but the problem would not be if fatal1ty decide to give up in the 8th minute, but when John Wow play quake against me and because he is not able to make any frag he decide to give up, like a superchampion he is.
So it would be good in competitions only I think.

About poker stuff:
I observed myself these inconsequencies:
-if you deposit about 50$ on some site and decide to play on a 50$ table you loose all with the first occasion, the percent you make more money in this case is about 20-30%
-if you deposit 500$ and you play 50$ tables you make pretty easy 100$ more before loosing 50$
-sometimes is like you feel the poker site stuff is tracking you to make you loose, you play for 30 days 50$ tables and you made about 300$, there will come a (totally unlogical) day when you will loose 200$, 4 allins straight against better straight, AA against KK, and other shit, all in a row
-in 1000 hands I usually see AA against KK and KK against AA (I am talking about MY hands) about 5-6 even 10 times ? when the mathematical propabilities is something different, about 1-2 times only

then I tried something different:
-allin with premium hands on a X$ table, if I win ok, if I lost then
-allin with premium hands on a X*2 table, if I lost then
-allin with premium hands on a x*4 table and so on, going on the principle that sooner or later you must win and the allin you will win will cover the losses+ you must have some winnings
guess what: lost allin after allin, different tables, different players, even different situations (it was straight against flush, some big hand against AA, straight against straight and then JJ against QQ)

-once I was going and played a very high stakes table to see how is going and guess what, that was the only time I lost AK suited flush against straight flush, exactly that time.
-I tried then the "sniping" strategy, waiting 300 hands for the great occasion,I got AK suited flush against full (which was trips against allin), and same situation was going again and again
-usually if you play soft, without preflop raise you don't get connections whatever big potential your cards have
-if you have a shitty 6 9 unsuited but do a preflop raise you got 2 pairs or other shit, like the software is encouraging aggresive playing style
-I just got an invitation on titan poker, they were giving me some small amount of money to play on their site, I was not playing on their site for more then a month, now what do you think? I played 2 tables and one I doubled the money on the other I made 50% profit, what should I do next if I'd be stupid ? I'd deposit NOW! (like the banners say)
-and try to cash out! you have a 80% chances you will loose a lot of money if you will play after cash out

, I just found I am not the only one that observed these things

note: there might be a certain reason USA don't allow online poker anymore

Although I don't duel much, if at all anymore because no one does in AUS, I must say If I'm smashing someone pretty badly chances are I'll leave after 5 minutes, because its boring as all shit.
