My third crash last night made me quit for good on upword. I should be on tonight.

Thinking I need a new video cad or something. I get the "crash" where the game is till playing in the background (You can still hear everything) but the video has crapped out. The game gets minimized to the task bar but if you maximize it you get a empty screen. Once or twice I have gotten "video driver stopped working".

That sounds more likely to be software than hardware. Maybe do a driver update?

e: Also, I don't see why you ever need a new video cad as long as ukick is around....

This happened to me a few years ago and it ended up being a bad stick of memory. Burn a memtest86 .iso, boot from the cd, and run it for 30 min or so just to rule out memory.

Could also be an overheating issue. If you can open your PC and make sure fans on your video card are running ok.

Had a really great session last night on barnblitz. Thanks for all the KKs Medmey and especially Itsatrap. Trap, I was two away from my record of 26 kills last night (got 24). I thought I was close but didn't know I was that close.

All she needs is a Sandman, a Cleaver, and green plasma floating around her head.

(I kid because I love. )

Brouhaha proved last night yet again that kritz pyro is a pretty awesome thing. So all you KK medics, give a pyro some love sometime, the results are spectacular.

This I already know, tberrrn

A kritz anything can be awesome so long as the kritzee knows what they're doing. I'd be happy to KK scout ukick. Scout homer, not a chance. I have terrible aim with the scout.

I kritzed Nuean once, and lo, the glowing arrows of death rained down upon the mannes, and they were smitten before us, and they cried as babies. Even so, death took them. Amen.

I gotta go for a run and have some dinner after work tonight, I hope some folks stay up past their bedtime so I don't have to brave the terrors of the public by myself.

A Kritz SMG is surprisingly effective.

I also like to Kritz Medic needles when I can get away with it. Unfortunately, usually when you KK a Medic he pulls out the Ubersaw....

Most pyros tend to be a lil too suicidal which makes the Kritz not as effecttive.

Yes, but the FUN factor is enormous!

Ah, refresh fortress. I guess I shouldn't have made dinner for the kids and gotten on earlier. Looks like it'll be me, fleabag and ragin' mopin' up the pubbies later tonight but I might go to bed or introduce my self to the wife of course.

Thanks for tips. I will try.

Damn, was having a great time. But had to leave early for a call. But really, old fashioned pub times with all the good and all the bad in it
And as per usual, I blame Ragin for any games we have lost

Hahaha! That was great Ragin!

Man, I went from my best map probably ever (Hoodoo, 120-ish points) to one of my worst (Frontier, 25-ish points, lucky to get that many). Big swing. Was fun though.

Came back for some more later on

I swear every time I turned around on Steel, there were Ragin's grenades, all up in my grill. Well, now that I think about it, Upward was the same way. "Kritz ready, Valmorian, let's go blow some shi......."

The only good Ragin's a torso Ragin.

Despite all the Ragin Hatin, that was a fun night. I doled out some good medic love tonight. I think that was me Kritzing evilseed above, and Dr Awkward got a good pyro uber.

I saw this happen in real time. The replay came out as great as I expected.

Oh, Evilhomer took my "Most Dominations" global award, ruuude

Yeah, that was a rather unfortunate direct hit with a grenade on me just as I was about to head over the top of that hill.

EvilHomer has been dishing out some serious kill counts the last couple of time I have played.

Was fun last nite and I remember there was a point on one map were it was all GWJs. Not sure it was completely full but close if not.

Fun times playing with you guys last night. I was McStabWithLies.

Didn't I backstab you (or whoever this is) right after this?

A little gem from the chat tonight

T-Prime [GWJ] : i'm just a pile of wood
T-Prime [GWJ] : why you gotta mess
ukickmydog : im a pyro
ukickmydog : i burn wood
T-Prime [GWJ] : sh*t. flawless logic.
