Wow, we played 2fort. Not sure why or how. I mean, I was drunk, but I don't know that anyone else has an excuse.

Pubbies. Not that it mattered because the pubbies ruined most of the fun well before we got to 2Fort. A couple of really, really inexperienced pubbies last night. I really wanted to kick 2 point per round spy guy but don't feel I should kick someone just because they are noops.

I might be on later than some of you westernly challenged folks, but I'm hoping for some manne on hatte action tonight. I shoot pubbies in their stupid pubby faces!

I think I found the source of your problems...

Yeah, it's a vicious circle.

hahaha the tag along with Beaker's expression go along so well. I will think of this every time a clueless pubby is in the server now.

Also there is a new breed of pubby the "self aware" pubby. Last night Brainz was trying to tell a pub engineer to build a dispenser on pl_upward. He started out asking nicely and then after several unsuccessful requests it became "Hey engy. put. a. dispenser. down. here." I don't know if anyone else noticed, but he responded in text chat with "I AM A DUMBASS" a few minutes later.

At least by admitting they are terrible, they are already more moldable than the jerk pubbies. And to be fair, he eventually made a dispenser.

Good job fleabag! Living proof useless pubbies > jerk pubbies!

The pub doesn't seem to be registered with Valve, because we're not seeing any pubbies. I have mixed feelings on the matter though.

Ah, that would explain why the Goojers in my friends list playing on the pub weren't showing up in any particular server.

I've been having an issue lately when playing TF2. It used to be only during MVM matches but now it's moved over to the main game as well and has gotten worse. At first it was just a random black screen with some stuttering sound. Alt Tabbing to the desktop and then reentering the game used to fix it and all would be well but tonight something weirder started happening. Now every time I do that when I re-enter the game my movement controls are tied to the mouse.

I plan to Verify and Defrag. in case that is the root, but I was just going to throw it out there in case anyone had any other theories on the cause and things I could do to try and prevent this from happening again. Not exactly fun to be in the middle of a game and suddenly there is a black screen when you are out in the open. Thus meaning you have died by the time you re-enter the game.

Yeah not sure why it flaked out from the Valve servers but it's restarted now. Hopefully it's back connected to quick join.

Reinstall? I had tons of problems with TF2 (random crashes in-game, always crashed when quitting) before I just bit the bullet and reinstalled. Haven't had any troubles since /knocks on wood.

Could always try the old delete the clientregistry.blob trick. It seems like voodoo but it sometimes works.

Had fun games tonight. I hate T-Prime and his mini sentries. I wish he'd go back to selling cars instead of harassing me.

Then I ended up in a MVM match with some folks. I felt bad, I didn't know what I was doing. Brouhaha had to give me a ticket to join the game. Do you have to buy those tickets, or do you get them some other way? Either way I owe him a ticket. It was more fun than I figured it would be. I don't even know which map it was, but we eventually beat it. Judging from the posts in this thread we got lucky with a couple good pubbies on the team.

And then theres this:

Mini-sentry engineer is fun! I was always at the bottom of the scoreboard, but it was worth it to be the thorn in everyone's sides.

With the tickets, you only need those for the official Mann vs. Machine servers. You are guaranteed item drops on these servers and you (supposedly) get rare items, plus some other achievements. But they're not necessary to play MvM. AFAIK you can only get them in the store, $1 each.

It was very entertaining to blow up engies and their stuff. That is until we lost of course.

Wow, TF2 is so crashy lately. It's not funny anymore. Time to go to bed.

Mannes better show tonight

Me too!

Couldn't stay for too long. But...tomorrow last day of the training. Up early again.

TF2 is very very choppy (no lag issues, ping is normal) and crashing lots as well.
Not sure why this is. Anybody else having this issue?

Could be a number of things. Do you know if anything is running in the background on your computer? Antivirus scans, updates...etc

Things were fine. Then from one moment to the other, all bad. Nothing in the background scanning either. Checked the usual suspects.

Next time it does it do a ctrl-alt-del and see what your CPU usage looks like in task manager.

Are there any other processes using much cpu besides hl2.exe?

I have skype and FF open, but it's the same if they are not running at all.
