Aww man, I was really hoping to be one of the cool kids. I guess that's my fault for falling to GN3 from MG with the new ranks.

A Blue Snowball mic is probably the only very good desktop mic you can get for under £50 (£40 at Curry's iirc) anything superior to that approaches £100+ very fast. This might still seem a bit premium for a lot of people though, although sadly I can't really speak for anything that costs less than that.

I got a Samson Go Mic which is actually quite good, but as most table mics you probably want to have push to talk as key presses will get picked up and drive your friends insane.

It's on Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-SAGOMIC-Mic-Clip-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/

It's satisfying as hell pulling off multiple ninja backstabs in a row. :getin:

My favorite is smoking cat on dust2, crouching next to the cylindrical pillar, then stabbing as they come around the corner facing A site. That, or running up and stabbing AWPers as they run to A site from long.

Why would they run through smoke? Why would the other players pushing long not kill you?

On dust2 you're meant to smoke mid (every day), then rush lower with a mag7 to rekk scrubs who are pushing B, with the ultimate goal of getting a chance knife in there somehow as well.

Are you an idiot?

Will experiment more, right now I haven't really noticed a peaking difference other than people coming around corners are visible sooner and the aforementioned lack of teleportation.

In a similar vein, I got a 1920x1080 monitor today up from my old 1600x900. I played deathmatch earlier and noticed it was much easier for me to peek tightly than before. I also seemed to have better crosshair placement as a result. Maybe I'll finally get good.

favorite was when i was testing the new revolver and i whiff seven trillion shots to a kid and he replies with an awp and "YOURE SO BAD"
next map load i take out the awp and proceed to lead the server by a hundred points, making it a point to say high pitched "YOURE SO BAD" at the dude when i kill him

being vindictive is fun

that's basically on cases over the entire time I've played so yeah, buying a knife just doesn't feel the same either.
