Still no real explanation for what the hell goes on in these games. Anyone will to give a good few paragraphs of their own experience as to why people like me, who have always avoided but are willing to give it a go, should get hooked?

Highest I ever got was competing with the best in europe at the millenium dome, hmm, year 2000, got down to the final 32 and bagged some goodies, a friend actually won (he was semi-pro anyway) and got a pro contract, I think £7k for his evenings work and flights/hotel/cash for first pro tourny in South Korea (where its FAR bigger than the states). That was quake 3 btw, I got battered by the best player from Sweden.

Im debating the same, I guess it all comes down to whether you feel you've had your "fill" of MW2?

I found the cash, hardware and other rewards useful thanks

Whilst Counterstrike was the most successful with its concept, quakeworld was already combining capture the flag type mods with rounds and deaths in the same manner. You can sit there and do you research on wikipedia if you like Marco, but some of us were playing it to a very serious level, as well as quake, LONG before CS was out of beta.

No, I'm sorry. I tried to let this lie, and let JDLN handle it, but I can't let this go. Valve did not "start the whole thing with counterstrike", valve didnt even bloody make counterstrike for gods sake. They provided a game with enough api hooks that allowed an entirely new online mod to be written in the shape of counterstrike, and was written by two people who had nothing to do with valve. I hesitate to get into an argument with you St Marco, cos I know I'll get a essay of a reply in which you try to prove from every angle that I'm not correct, but the fact is Valve did not make counterstrike. Counterstrike was a mod made by the public, for HalfLife, which Valve DID create.

More by tomorrow, Tuesday is my "review all of last weeks posts by Dog" day...

I was going to post pretty much what you posted there but frankly cba. Completely agree that FPS online gaming took off with Quake, but lets be fair, it was the modified version "quakeworld" more than it was the introduction of 3dfx. Dont forget quakeworld exe was out for donkeys before a 3dfx version was released. Also, Barrysworld / Gamespy had as much assistance in the growth of only FPS as the games themselves

not stopped you posting entensity links 31 times before

Apparently not, but Robsk II did anyway

for dog, its generally entensity

Which in turn ripped off something else, which ripped off something else, which ripped off something else. Do I need to make the point?

Which was my second point to her

My mum served on a murder jury last year, and had the same ethical dilema, do you lessen the punishment because of a failed upbringing... in fact we had that same talk over the dinner table today when she was telling my missus about the trial. My point was "so if a kid has a superb upbringing, morally balanced, supportive parents and a well educated start to life, we should punish them *more*?"

If I was Lambert, and I knew I had serious interest from Prem club, I would hand in a transfer request. As others have said, he owes us nothing, he wants to be a premiership striker which realistically even if we do superbly wont happen until he's into his 30's.

I'm giving up miserable women, I'm doing quite well

Ill think of you when its 1-1 after 90 minutes \\:D/
