    Long skis

    It's not that the shorter skis make you better, they just make carving easier than the longer ones. What makes you better is being able to carve the same railroad tracks that the smaller skis can do but with longer ones. And yes you're right, a lot has changed since 1994 :)

    How much does my computer heat up this room?

    Need to think a little outside the box on this one also. You can figure out how much heat your room loses due to the materials in the walls, ceiling, floor, doors and windows. As an example: When the computer is off to when it is fully heated up you may (for numbers sake) get a change in temp...

    Long skis

    There are huge differences the types of responses you get with different sizes, widths, camber and "shape" of skis. Those speed races use the longer, slightley fatter ski. I dont need to repeat why because it was discussed above only because the only factor going that fast with skis is the...

    Anyone have tips for CS:S?

    i only crouch if i know i wont draw fire from my shots, or if i know i hit them a few times already and I can take him out. crouching in a fire fight = "hit me!! i'm not a moving target!!"

    Anyone have tips for CS:S?

    ANYWAYS.. to get good at CS: S you should always set your site for the head, no matter what gun you're using. Use short bursts (1-3 shots every 1/2 second) while Ducked. when you get better, strafe left.. let a few off.. strafe right.. let a few off. You dont want your enemy to get a bead on...

    What's Wrong With FilePlanet?

    you guys remember back in the day when HL was just new and getting mods and things from FP was the fastest way to go? I stopped using it when just like many of the other replies here happened to me. Stuck in like for an hour with the "20 minutes left!" message not ever changing. then they had...

    pc133 ram.. ?

    can pc133 be put into a mobo that uses pc100? Dell optiplex Gx1 (oooold machine) that doesnt have ram for it, but the price difference is funny between pc133 and pc100. It's not my comp, the owner wants to use it for internet use only so he doesnt want to buy a brand new one.

    counter strike: Any good or a noob shooter?

    I think it really depends on your playing style. I used to be a diehard CS fanatic and i couldnt play Q3 or UT to save my life. Even though you'd think "oh, first person shooter.. if you're good at one you're good at all". The only thing FPS games have in common is the skill at which it takes...

    World of warcraft game sold

    I'm not talking about the people who buy the game off of ebay. Im talking about the people who have the time to get a toon up to a high level and selling the account. Sure blizzard gets some money off this but in the longer run the ones that are making the profits should be stopped. what if...

    World of warcraft game sold

    People can make mad loads of money buying the game, grinding a toon up to a high level then selling the account for 4X more than he paid for it. He is making a profit off of blizzard's work. that's the only argument i see.
