Start a HL1DM (HL2 lacks longjump module ) match in dm_bounce.

Host:Set sv_cheats to 1set sv_gravity in the 200-400 range

Both players:For simplicity, bind keys to give:item_longjumpweapon_crossbowitem_batteryitem_healthkitThis way if you die you can get right back into things.

Now, one person climbs the ladder on the cliff-wall to the top ledge, positions himself, and takes out the crossbow. The other person goes to one end or the other of the map (lengthwise) and low-grav longjumps the ENTIRE length of the map. See if the crossbow guy can nail him. Switch back and forth.

Also excellent is low-grav Matrix style crossbow melee combat with healthkit spamming invincibility.

Oh, and default HL1 gravity is 800. For HL2 the value changed to 600 for default.Negative numbers work for gravity and make stuff fall up as soon as it leaves the ground (it can be hilarious to bind sv_gravity -12000 to a key and whack it JUST as someone steps off a stair...as long as they're not under the delusion that they're in a cheat-free game).
this sounds epic, i've been playing a few rounds of tf2 on low grav when it gets late and not many people are playing on the server.do want to try.buuuut i'm gonna head to bed, laters.

I had about a 1 week streak of not being able to sleep.I'd lay down in bed at 12am, get frustrated after 2 hours, and lose my mind after 3.I would've kicked kittens if that would get me to sleep, what a horrible week that was.

I just got raped by some random virus on thepiratebay, I'm clean and back now... Damn viruses, this is like the first one I've gotten in over a year.

I just bought a USB floppy drive so I could use my desktop (no floppy drive, not even a 3.5'' bay for one) to make a Win98 boot disk for my laptop.I decided to go through some old floppy discs from my high school days. My antivirus suite didn't like a lot of them at all. But those are the first viruses I've seen in YEARS.

Hour and a half of work left. I can hear my bed and my toilet calling me.

Chris, I saw a Galant or Diamante and for a split second thought it was a Lincoln. Similar shape

Man, I remember my first time using floppy disks, I was amazed that something so small could store so much.My dad gave me one of my own and I even wrote my name on it hahaha.

Too bad a lot of desktops don't come with them anymore, they come in handy sometimes, like bootdisks and such.

Yeah, the last-gen Galant looks a lot like my car. So do some Diamantes. My boss actually congratulated me on my new Galant the first time I drove it to work, too.

I actually really like first-gen Diamantes, on the subject of Mitsu sedans.

I LOVE the headlight design.

Man, you want to talk about lots of storage...back in 97 my computer had a ZIP drive. 100 freaking megabytes, baby! I had my own disk, with my name on it. But was more jealous of my friend's parents' computers, which had Jaz drives. 1GB removable!

I value my solitude a LOT, and I completely understand. I imagine my tune my change if I met an incredible woman, but I honestly don't think it would STAY changed for long. Unlike most people (and EVERY female I've ever met) I know what I want from life and how to be happy and have no intention of screwing around trying to support someone else's emotional needs.

the thing is, she's too clingy and gets all butt-hurt when i don't text her constantly while at work or at home. she calls when i'm working in the garage or on the house and then gets all upset when i answer and tell her that i can't talk. tues-thurs she teaches at night and doesn't get home until after 9, by then i'm either already asleep on the couch or dozing off. i explained to her what goes on in my daily life before we began dating. hell, 2 weekends ago i had this conversation with her and things improved for maybe a week. now it's back to the same s***. i'm not down with that. as i told her before, i am not changing my life for anyone. she can be a part of it, but she's not going to be all of it.

That's how the dude I work with and his wife are and I can't stand it. His cell phone rings and he literally RUNS and DIVES to grab it before voicemail picks up because if he doesn't catch it in time she'll lecture him. And she calls him AT LEAST once an hour, and if he doesn't answer his cell she starts calling office phones (honestly, I dunno how the hell she dials them so fast they follow so rapidly). And if he's having a smoke (which he hides from her) or in the bathroom when she calls she'll keep calling me and calling me and calling me asking where he is.

But by far the funniest thing is watching his mad SCRAMBLE to answer the phone when she calls. The dude is SO whipped it's like something from a bad sitcom.

see, i can't handle that. it's f***ing annoying and childish. it's like "omg, we're exclusively seeing each other, we must now go get surgically attached to each other at the hip." wtf is that all about? i'm fine with talking everyday, but all day every day is annoying. this was 2 texts from yesterday. remember, my phone sits on a corner of my desk all day long. i don't carry it around with me when i step out of my office. at the time, i was sitting in front of my boss going over a quote with him

-hey, what are you doing on teh 17th of next month? my cousin is celebrating their b-day that day.-(not even 10 minutes after no reply from me)nm, i guess i'll just plan on going alone.

chill the f*** out.
