Tuesday Night UT

Hi, those of us who suck will be playing on the WSA server (142.179.199.97) tonight. Game password is "GamersWithJobs". Feel free to pop in on TeamSpeak as well (same IP as the game). Game status is on http://www.banick.com/wsa.

Oh yeah, games will likely start between 7-7:30pm Mtn.

I uninstalled my UT so not to get sick of it before the release, its for my own good.

I will be on at around 1:30 am est, hopefully when people see me there all by myself they will come to join me, and kill me

Well I''m on there right now, so come get pwn3d, please.

I don''t show it as up right now...

Argh, I''ve been sick all weekend and need a good UT2k4 fix. Unfortunately, I''ll probably not be able to make it tonight.

Jadawin, probably caught it in a map cycle.

Good time as always.

I''m not sure it was Elysium playing. He didn''t say ""Australophitecus"", or ""Phrontistery"". But he did say ""f*ckin'' Pyro"", and called Certis a slut, so maybe it was him after all.

Wow, I go one night withoug stringing together a cacophonous series of barely connected adverbs and suddenly my very being is called into question. First Pyro ICQ''d me to see if I was _actually_ playing or if it was an imposter, eventually coming to the conclusion that it couldn''t be me because I wasn''t sucking ass wind. Now Mex.

You wound me. Truly.

Well, I got home in time to catch a few games at the end. If anyone is up late and wants to get your frag on, I''ll be looking for a game.

Oh yeah, I forgot about teamspeak.

I''ll be on in 1/2 hour if you want to party...

It was fun! Propagandalf, Unforseen_Power, and phragged all got their opportunities to kill me repeatedly! I think when I was just getting warmed up I was in rare form, finishing assault defense with 1 point Of course that may have to do with the fact that for some reason I was unable to go from car to car without falling to the moving ground and dying on the first attempt

I enjoyed it immensely, even if I was playing on a laptop in a hotel room. I have everything pretty much set to low graphics quality, but I do seem to get decent graphics performance.

Lag issues, however, tended to be the same ""ok, then not so ok"" crap that others have reported and I''d never seen. Well, until last night...

The moment-to-remember for me last night was on the Onslaught ramp. I was in the big truck, which drives like an elephant in heat, and managed to plow down Elysium, Mex, and Marlin from behind. Stoked, I blew the truck''s horn and hit the emergency brake to perform a victory 180...

...which caused me to slide right over Propagandalf, who I didn''t even really see.

A couple maps later and I was handily humiliated by the same folks on the Team Deathmatch map. Win some, lose more, it seems.

Ohh, that was YOU. That''s it, you made my list.

Yeah, you weren''t, what was up with that? Are you sick or something?

I think I''m going to change my name to Speedbump. Good games last night, especially the 2v2 CTF game that Toby, Phragged, Unforseen and I played. OT Baby!

Hey Toby add Cain''s Lair to your favorites. That way we have more options if on late, like last night.

63.113.48.60:8000 - Cain''s Lair.

On thing bugged me about Flatliners last night, besides not being able to get some good team play going. Right when you''re putting your crosshair on someone''s skull, bright yellow text would appear accross your screen. Their server advert appears on the screen every few minutes. Why flash bright yellow text on the screen during the game?

Btw, what is this ----->

Yeah Mex, I''m normally not a big vehicle freak, but I really enjoyed them last night. Elysium and I had a good game of king-of-the-redeemer-hill, which I think I mostly lost. I did make up for it with some fantastic vehicular manslaughter.

The nice thing about the Hellbender (big truck) over the Scorpion (dune buggy) is that most folks think it''s easier to dodge, so they tend not to scatter as much when you drive near them. It''s actually quite devastating if you can master the art of using the emergency break to sideswipe people.

Sure, there''s no weapon if you''re by yourself in the Hellbender, but it''s quite effective at keeping non-vehicle enemies at bay. It also has a ton of armor, so you don''t get immediately whacked driving it.

I had another nice Hellbender wipeout later on in the evening, when I inadvertently hit the lip of a power node mid-sideswipe which sent the whole truck rolling...

Rolling over people, that is.... =)

Will do propagandalf, and about the Flatliner''s server, I''m not sure why they flash that ad for their clan across in the middle of the match like that. It would be better if it just showed up when you first join the server and maybe after the core has been destroyed and your waiting on the next round. It always seemed like the server was trying to separate us for some reason, I always tried to switch to the same team to even things out.
