Break from the drama for a sec: My mouse is dying and I need a new one. I'm a broke college goon so I can't afford to just straight up replace this old Corsair M90 with an M95.

My local-ish computer store has the Logitech G402 for $39.98 instead of $69.99 (Canadian monopoly money). Is it worth it? If not, any better suggestions in the sub-$50 USD range?

I don't know about the g402, but you can typically find the steelseries sensei raw or rival for around $40 usd and they both own bones.

This game is going to crush me. I've been playing CS off and on for like 10 years but just started playing again after taking a huge break so I'm loving awful. The one casual game where I start off insanely good (which was like 13-1) and feel in my groove -- of course gets scrambled (it was only like a 4-0 lead) and the teams get shuffled, I play completely average the next game and our team gets smashed 8-0 and my scramble attempt gets a resounding decline. I just find it funny that in the 100 games I've played recently, I can't recall scramble teams getting enough votes to pass. Maybe it'll push me to do that good every game, but my god it really bothered me.

If it makes you feel better casual is a garbage mode that has no relation to the actual game, and you can farm DM/demo/arms race to get acct rank 3

Haha, yeah. I'm rank like 4 or 5 actually I think, but I don't really like playing competitive without a few friends since I still feel a bit overmatched so I just practice in casuals. I'll just take it as bad karma and move on.

I'd find community 5v5 servers if you're getting ELO anxiety, the skill level is usually pretty low outside of the odd ringer. Other than that, your competitive MMR will eventually level out and you'll be evenly matched

THANK GOD FOR THE SMOKE MACHINE!
Someone posted a cool little interactive page that brought up a list of maps and different smokes for both sides, does anyone have the link handy? I can't remember how far back it was...

In other news, I'm slowly making my way through the placement matches... 4 more wins to go. Had a match where we were completely stomping the other team, eventually leading my team to just start loving around with shotguns and negevs and poo poo and eventually putting us at a tie :smithicide: I'm having a lot of fun. I used to play competitively in 1.5/6 and then lost interest when Source came out. The game is so different and I'm such trash at AWPing now :(

Did a solo queue today and finally ranked up to MGE. My team was pretty good at communicating, but there were a couple whiny kids who complained every time they got killed or we lost a round. Tried my best to keep the vibes up, and we pulled out a decisive victory, but soloing always feels like massive effort.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

haha yeah, definitely describes what i do. i'm the meanest guy out there. also, no one else is mean/annoying/disruptive, it's just me!

seriously though, i would never want to be any of those things. it's true that i do things for laughs, to try and make others laugh.

on-topic:



I feel like I'm hitting the ceiling for me. I'm at the level where I can get on the top 1 or 2 on a team soloing pretty consistently, but it's tough to win the match, often because of a skill gap on my team. I would really like to get to DMG.

No joke, that has helped me win almost every match I've played on Mirage. It works flawlessly at these ranks on MM, but it will never work on goons. It's an interesting distinction for sure, and one that took me a while to realize hah.

i never suggested that you were mean, but you provoke the ire of 90% of the server pop in other ways. i also never said that no other person is ever mean, annoying, or disruptive, pinky. 99% of the server is moody, much like in real life, but u rarely hear of people getting banned for getting upset in a game. you need to brush up on ur reading comprehension, buddo. i think ur inability to comprehend my post as opposed to hearing whatever u want constitutes a large problem in ur ability to get along w other human beanings.

Oh yeah, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that for the past two years or so since he's been around that he has been a total jackass and purposely ignoring the majority of advice people have given him time and time again through probably a hundred or so games with him. Nope. Not at all. Keep this trash poo poo to the sub.io thread where it belongs (and where he can't post).

Someone post the pink videos because lol if you think it's unjustified.

He was banned and kept coming back, he knows exactly what he's doing. There's no bullying when he keeps coming back for more.

e: he's the only person banned for non hacking reasons in 3+ years of goonman. That's gotta tell you something.

Just lost 3-16 because two children on my team did this. One kind of hosed up his lurk and the other got real butthurt about it. Instead of just moving onto the next round they proceeded to incessantly complain about it. We started the game 3-5 (after some really weird back and forth force buys) and didn't win another round the rest of the game because of it. I can usually level it out but they just would not shut the gently caress up.
