    And I thought telecoms was bad for Acronyms, just look at gaming ... I'm almost glad I'm out of the loop

    HL2: Deathmatch or Call of Duty (the first one, haven't tried 2)
    are the best FPS games ever. Counter-Strike blows. And Quake III
    is better than Unreal Tournament, Cheez. Accept that.

    Except for 007 Goldeneye of course..

    But seriously, ET is an excellent game - so good that I cannot even have it on my computer - if its installed I end up playing it all of the time and get nothing else done.

    if you ever play again try my clan's server: 63.211.111.31 or 212.187.247.32
    teamspeak: 209.25.147.120

    I used to hang out on the =OF=Clan server - The competition there was more suitable for my aging game skills. If I ever get back into ET, I will definitely check out your server.

    ET is awsome. (And I do agree on this one ethic; I never like Unreal tournment.)

    But I have a problem with playing on public servers. I get badly beaten. Those kids are simply... inhuman. I get fragged like they are making a jackpot on me. But it's not over, oh no. They then make sure they frag me on chat too.

    I prefer private servers with friends where at least I do stand a chance on my good days and chat is reserved for discussing what's the next map.

    EDIT: well... and also some chat frag too. But milder. I'm very sensitive.

    Oh, I totally agree. Goldeneye was simply amazing. I'm
    still hoping they bring it to the Nintendo DS w/ WiFi deathmatch.

    Here's the secret to dominating in Goldeneye: Choose Oddjob.
    He's so tiny that they have a super hard time hitting you.

    I think it was Oddjob. The small guy.
