TROPHY CASE

Three Hours With Diablo III by asskickingjediin Games

There is a simple way around it: don't require an always on internet connection in order to play an offline - single player game.

If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist. by TheKarlMarxin RUGC_Midwest

Ah, we could have had a KC midwest meetup, but I moved to Oregon a month and half ago. Kelso is from KC as well.

Are you from Kansas City as well?

We Need to Address The Server Population by theidiotin RUGC_Midwest

[–]jmcqk6 4 points5 points ago

What is this? It's only a few weeks ago that I was waiting hours to get in. It's one the reasons I quit even trying after I moved to Oregon. I got in a played some tonight and was quite surprised to be able to get in so easily. My prediction is that this is not something that will last very long, especially if meet the pyro gets released soon. I know I"m going to try to get back to my regular playing if I can.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been waiting for someone to catch me in this pose!

I think I have some of you that I'll be posting in the next batch. Be on the lookout!

I finally enjoyed Shostakovich by DonCalientein classicalmusic

[–]jmcqk6 0 points1 point ago

You really can't go wrong with Shostakovich. I've yet to hear anything by him I didn't like, and he has music for just about every possible mood / setting. If you like slow and beautiful, check out his Romance from the gadfly suite. If you like frantic, check out the second movement of his symphony no 10. If you like big and bold, check out the last movement of his seventh symphony. Just start listening!

Excuse me. Could you please help those little ducklings? by WeAreWonderfulNowin pics

They are subtle and quick to anger.

Watching this makes it slightly easier to not be able to play tf2.

How I feel playing medic when grieve and rend start sticky-cabering by ronrollin RUGC_Midwest

[–]jmcqk6 0 points1 point ago

Concur. Similar to when GrieVe played on the server all of the time.

Damn, I've got Midwest withdrawal so bad. Hopefully my new place in Oregon will have a low enough ping to play.

Everytime I have the Midwest server on auto-join and I connect, it rejects me with a "server is full" message. What's up with that??? by RationalArgumentManin RUGC_Midwest

[–]jmcqk6 1 point2 points ago

After a few times when I've finally gotten in, while ubered on another server, I don't bother playing medic if I'm waiting to get into midwest.

Hmm, that program really doesn't like my name, apparently.

Whenever you're right and they're wrong... by sanchezelmanchezin AdviceAnimals

[–]jmcqk6 3 points4 points ago

the key issue is that both the student and the professor must be prepared to be wrong. Even if you think you're right, you're still the student and there may be some vital component you're missing. I know I made this mistake several times.

Flight Control Rocket takes "pay to win" to a whole new level of awful. by Grahf-Gamesin Games

[–]jmcqk6 2 points3 points ago

This isn't even about 'competitive play.' On pubs, as a medic, if you're running black box, I hate you. If you mean 'casual solo play that doesn't depend on team work,' then why the hell are you playing tf2?

[–]jmcqk6 7 points8 points ago

Except as many people have pointed out, most of the added weapons are not 'better' in any sense of the word. For the most part, the stock weapons are the best weapons available. There are a few exceptions to that, but they are hardly a big deal.

TF2 update for 3/22/12 (3/23/12 GMT) by wickedplayer494in tf2

[–]jmcqk6 2 points3 points ago

If you can get steam to start, change your download location to somewhere else. Europe tends to be a good place.

If you can't get steam to start, unplug internet, start steam in offline mode, then change download location.

You change download location in steam settings.

I think it's safe to say this guy has NO idea what he is talking about (skip towards the middle of the video) by aroundmein tf2

[–]jmcqk6 0 points1 point ago

This must be pretty common. I remember when I first started, I was desperately trying to get a back burner (this was before trading) and other drops, thinking that they would just be awesome. Natascha was a another one I really wanted. Now, I run almost completely stock on everything. Few exceptions are vita-saw / uber-saw, kritz.

On the competitive classes, the stock weapons still tend to be the best, except perhaps for the boston basher (for building uber), equalizer, and ubersaw / kritz.

TF2Fix plugin (fixes Pomson and other stuff) by VGPowerlordin RUGC_Midwest

[–]jmcqk6 0 points1 point ago

Pomson 6000 draining 60% of a cloaked Spy's Cloak meter, instead of 20%

That is not how the pomson needs to be fixed. The hit on the uber charge is completely fucked up, especially because you can't hide behind someone else. The hit box is quite large as well. Draining uber serves absolutely no purpose except slow the game down as medics now have to take longer to build a charge. This is not the way you want to improve a game.

I don't rage, but having a single engineer spam that fucking weapon brings me quite close to doing so. I've strongly considered simply boycotting healing any friendly engineer who runs it.

TIL that in 1967 a High School history teacher turned his class into a revised Hitler Youth organization to prove that even in a Democratic society people will do anything to fit in. by brownyboy177in todayilearned

[–]jmcqk6 4 points5 points ago

This isn't necessarily very surprising, depending on the document. The Nazi party platform had several points of commonality with common democratic ideology. On the other hand, there are several very important points of division, like the focus on diversity, acceptance of immigrants.

It's meaningless to share some beliefs with some people, and this is a good example of that. It's actually an example of the ad hominem argument to say 'well, the nazis believed this, so therefore it's wrong.'

The problem is that the commonalities between the nazi party and the republican party seems to be things like the corporatism and hostility towards immigrants.

Chroncile fucking shit up by professorpanin RUGC_Midwest

[–]jmcqk6 9 points10 points ago

I'm so fucking tired of people like you. Shut your god damned mouth. Seriously you're not fucking good because you right clicked.

Out of curiosity, have you every watched chroncile play? I don't think anyone is saying that he's good because of this particular thing that happened. There is no doubt that he is an above average pyro, though quantifying exactly how much is difficult.

The simple fact is that if playing pyro is really as easy as you try to describe it, then you wouldn't be able to say 'above average.' Everyone would simply be as good as Chroncile, or FlappyFlag, or kperk, or any number of the above average pyros that play on our server.

Think about how mundane that really is. Crit sticky kills 6 people standing around on the point? Better make a video!

Here is where I think you're being disingenuous. This is an event no matter how it happens. You're contradicting yourself here, because you're basically saying that 'crit sticky killing 6 people' is common (mundane). A mini-crit reflect killing 6 people is not as common. Even if I concede your point that it wasn't particularly skillful (which I'm not conceding at all), then the rarity of this event itself warrants recognition.

Ninja-edit: and are you really saying that a kritzed demo who right-clicks, left clicks is more skillful than reflecting a rocket? If so, you're just being silly.

[–]jmcqk6 4 points5 points ago

Anyone who says that it was just luck has never paid attention to your play on the server. You're constantly playing at a high level. No W+M1 (or M2) here. I know I can depend on you to extinguish a friendly medic when necessary and take care of those pesky spies.
