  2. http://www.streichers.com and their affiliate http://www.511tactical.com I mainly use Streichers as a catalog and then go fins the stuff at a better price somewhere else. I mainly go by the rule that if Streichers doesnt have it... I dont need it. They too have some great sales here and there, for instance, this one right now 5.11 Tactical Trench Coat with free Back-Up Belt System for $49.99. Awesome price for great gear guys. http://www.511tactical.com/index.asp?dept=6&number=48009
  3. New sale: Point Blank Coveralls for $6.99. Very worth it if you do mechanic or other "dirty jobs" around the house or work. http://www.botachtactical.com/poblutco.html Another cool tool: Head lamp http://www.botachtactical.com/stenledhe.html
  4. Prepare to be pissed. I didnt even watch the whole video. As soon as the guy said it was built for the console from the gorund up, I turned it off. When I got curios to the rest of it I just muted the console part and watched the rest. He also said that this game was much more "polished" which for PC gamers means "they left out all of the cool stuff that would make it a great PC game" Ubi$oft is a bunch of assholes. Thats just my opinion.... I could be wrong.
  5. I question has been posed and it is not the first time to do so, but yet again it comes up. Should the US lower the drinking age to 18? Reasons to lower it: at 18 you can: enlist in the military die in the military vote get married with out consent get a tattoo buy porn smoke (cigarettes/cigars) drive with passing a test, no need for driver's Ed classes skydive at 21 you can: legally buy and consume alcohol possess a handgun (in most states) My thoughts are as follows: The main argument I see people having is that "if you're old enough to enlist/serve your country/die for your country/etc etc" then you should be able to drink. Why not just lower the drinking age for our military personnel? If you are a member of the military be it Active Duty, Reservist, or Guard, and have a valid Military ID (not a dependent ID), you should be able to buy and drink alcohol. A simple given here. I am a disabled Vet of OIF/OEF. I enlisted as a Medic and did my time and subsequently was injured. Although I was already 21 when I enlisted, these soldiers deserve more from their government than a medal and a pat on the back. Make it worth while for these young persons. Keep the driving age where it is, lower the drinking age for Military personnel, and make DUIs a 'First Strike You're OUT' consequence. We all know that alcohol takes away a persons ability to make decisions, and we all know that not too many people in the world, let alone the U.S., make great decisions on a daily basis. Why not focus on helping these new adults make better financial decisions instead of giving them another expensive thing to spend their money on and waste their time with. Yes I drink, no I did not drink while under age, no I have never done drugs. I am middle class, neither democrat or republican. When will the U.S. wise up and start making the choices that aren't assigned to a particular platform? Start making choices that make sense for you and your family and NOT what a party platform agenda says to vote for. Carlos Mencia is a comedian, and he is very funny. He tells it like it is. But he did however, once say something very profound. He said that if you think that you are right 100% of the time, you are Osama Bin Laden's pupil. I think he's right. Think about it. If anything should happen our government great as it is, should raise the cigarette smoking age to 21 as well. Far more people die from cancer than alcohol related deaths. But cancer research and treatment is BIG business and so is Alcohol sale. Our government can tax these items very easily. I live in Virginia and there are no liquor stores, the state controls the sale of alcohol other than beer and wine through the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, or ABC stores. Beer and wine are available at the grocery. Maryland on the other hand, limits ALL alcoholic beverages to Liquor stores and grocery stores do not sell any alcoholic beverages at all. Each state also limits the times which you can purchase alcohol as well. Alcohol and cigarettes are a huge income for our government. They view it as a win/win situation, never mind all of the people who die every year from related illness or "accidents". Oh and another thing, those adults who do die from these injuries that have paid in to social security will never have to be paid in return. Its a sad thing that even their own citizens dying cant change the minds of a hand full of politicians. Keep thinking people, the world can only get better. We might even get back some of the freedoms my parents used to have.
  6. HAHA I Love that. (Present company excluded. ;))
  7. So I was trying to cool my rig down. It was running very hot and my three fans just simply weren't keeping up. So I thought to myself, "Self, what do we have around here that will cool this baby off a bit?" and Self replied, "How about some of this ice-cold Pepsi?" And I though to myself in my best Homer Simpson voice.... "Mmmm, Pepsi..." I picked up the 20 oz bottle and unscrewed the cap. The carbon dioxide escaped in its ever so familiar sound whilst the caramel colored fizz gently covered my hand. I took a sip, savoring the taste of this ice cold beverage. I thought to my self, "Self, here goes." As I poured the soda over my mother board, it popped and hissed, sending sparks bounding left and right... too and fro. The ice-cold soda even sent a wafting plume of smoke from the mother board as if to say, "This MOFO MOBO is cooled down now!" No heat, no more. I solved my heat issues, but have now gained a few more problems. First off, the machine wont even boot up now. It wont even post. I will have to open it up again and see if there might be some loose RAM or maybe the power supply has gone bad. I dont know yet. The lights only come on for a moment and then return to darkness. The evil PC spirits have wreaked havoc upon my machine but, oh yes, she will rise from the ashes and boot again. On the good side of things, I haven't had my overheating problems since applying my new cooling treatment. I might have to try this ice-cold Pepsi trick on my other machines. Maybe even my laptop, but to be honest the laptop really isn't over heating, but then again prevention is the key, right? Hopefully I will figure out my new booting problems before Crysis unveils its dirty, naughty little head. Maybe it will work on my new 8800 Ultra XXX. It could be worth it to cool it down a few degrees. Who knows, but we'll find out soon enough. GLHF... always. ;)
  8. Yep, so as it stands: S1: Multiplayer Team vs Team S2: MP COOP Team vs AI, regular maps S3: MP COOP Team vs AI, custom maps I do wish that Snakpit V7 would be put on instead of V5 that was removed.
  9. As I am installing TS2 on a laptop, I didnt want to go through and individually type in each server again, so, having no one on SPARTA TS to ask, I googled it and found a thread on the TS forums. it seems the list is saved to a personal folder in C://Documents and Settings/USER NAME/Application Data/teamspeak/ The file is called teamspeak.conf copy it make a back up on another disk just in case the worst happens. I just copied it over and it worked great I can connect and change it as I like on my laptop. Hope this helps anyone who didnt know about this.
  10. The objective triggers are set on you killing all of the enemy attached in the script for that objective. Its like a "Secure area" objective from OGR, the game doesnt recognize objective accomplishment until those tangos are down. That being said the enemy reacts and will come to where ever you are firing, making it a little difficult to find them sometimes, I played one were the last guy was out side of the wall and it immediately spawned a freakin regiment right in front of me. The night to day change happens when you kill the last guy for the first objective and when the next batch of enemy spawn in, the night to dawn/fog change happens when you kill the last guy from the second objective. Its kinda weird. But its also cool that RPGHard was able to do it that way
  11. coop_castle_day.bundle Heres a link form my FTP to download it. VERY IMPORTANT: Also when installing this map, you must remove the original castle_day.bundle from the folder before starting the game as leaving them both in will render a script stack error. Map by Red Storm Entertainment, Adapted to GRAW 2 by Biro, Mission Scripting by RPGHard -- Mission Notes -- On initial insertion I was engaged my multiple OPFOR and killed twice by unseen enemy. My hope soon disappeared. I finally found the enemy targets and returned fire leaving two enemy KIA. The spawn was secure... for the moment. My next thought was to gain intelligence, anything was better than nothing. I looked at the mini map but it was a blank gray screen and the same for the large map. (A big difference and detrament in game play from the previous castle_day.bundle we have been playing.) No intel and only one mission objective, secure the compound. Sounds easy enough. I began moving west engaging enemy targets with my suppressed M416. Many returned fire but luckily missed. They returned fire for the last time. Using the hills and small boulders to my advantage, I could stay in relative cover and concealment using the skyline as a backdrop to silhouette the outlines of possible infantry soldiers. After clearing the perimeter of the compound I breach the south west wall taking down at least two targets while on the move. I approached the corner structure, gaining access to a ramp leading to the parapets. From this elevated advantage I shot multiple enemy targets, and received minor injuries from return fire. Once I had worked my way around to the north side of the castle wall, I could see multiple targets inside the windows of the southeast building. At first shot, I missed, alerting the mercenary of his incoming fire. He crouched and shot me fatally. Though, he shot through the wall beneath the center window. I saw the muzzle flash as I was getting hit. It must have been a magic wall. After re-spawning, I found that dirty rat bastard and shot him in the back. Shooting a Medic is like hitting a guy with glasses on. I then searched for his remaining buddies inside the walls of the castle. After clearing the first objective and controlling the interior of the structure, the time had flown by and night fell quickly. The moon was so bright it rendered my nvg's useless. (It took a few minutes and a couple respawns for my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the map. I even turned out the lights in my office to see better.) I then realized that multiple enemy, approx. 60, had spawned outside of the wall and would now be coming in to try and take the castle back. They almost succeeded. 10 re-spawns later and a whole lot of fowl language, the second objective, Hold the area, was accomplished and it was now time for ex-filtration and extraction. Morning had very quickly come and the fog rolled in, the subtle lighting of the morning sunrise again made it not only difficult to see but limited my viewing distance to mere meters. The road to extraction became a CQB and mid-range gun battle. Many firefights resembled the OK Corral. The few remaining squad sized enemy elements were quickly dispatched. And Extraction was achieved. I wish command had dropped in a MULE to rearm and change weapons as needed. -- END MISSION NOTES -- Okay so much for my spontaneous creative writing. All in all the mission was very interesting a difficult. Adding a Mule or two and some enemy APCs and a couple Tanks would make it way more of a challenge, and something to rival Mission Rattenkrieg from OGR. Playing this map is no challenge having beaten the DAM Map (with lots of help) multiple times prior. Cool notes are the changing weather and time of day pattern. Very cool but kinda unrealistic. The day turns to night instantly as does night to dawn. a gradual change over a minute or two would be much better but I do not know if this is possible. The mini map and the large map are non-existent leaving tactical game play and coordinates out on the wind for the time being. I am sure this will be fixed sooner or later as most players will find this less than desirable. The deal with the tango crouching in the south east house and shooting through the wall totally happened, but is nothing new to Ghost Recon. Just watch it if you're in his sights. Shoot first and you'll live. It was a rifleman and not a sniper. The muzzle flash and full auto easily gave him away. Good luck. My synopsis is that this is a great first go at a mission for this map. The difficult part about scripting a mission for this map is dreaming up dynamic objectives with realistic obstacles. It will be very interesting to see the progression of missions for this classic and yet newly modernized, castle map. Thanks to GySgt~SPARTA~ for his help testing this mission. Awesome battle-bud, devil dog, and wingman. +Medic+~SPARTA~
  12. I knew this would hit a nerve with someone. Haha. I think it was Robin Williams that called Canada the Apartment above a really great party. Ya gotta love Canada though for one simple reason. Uniform health care. Yous guys got us there. ;)
  13. Another bad ass scene But heres the caveat, you should really watch the movie and see this scene in context, before watching this link. But if you prefer to go ahead here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJxaahWm5U...ted&search=
  14. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/st...1bf&k=63970 I know, from Canadians right? Who'd have thought it?? Good science though. Sure hope it works on humans.
  15. just like my wife. Nice.... except the last line (she'll kill me when she reads this. Its been nice knowing ya.)
  16. When I click the images I get the full version, nothing more. Try it again, I put them on my site now.
  17. Sadly the Recommended test failed because it wants a Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent and I am running a Pentium D 3.00 Ghz Also I rejected my 8600 GTS because it doesnt have 512 mb RAM, its a 256 card. It shoudl run the game just fine on my XP machine though. I imagine the DX10 Vista machines are what require the beefy systems and cards. It did not however, give me any crap about upgrading to DirectX 10. Medic
  18. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest Use the drop down box to select 'Crysis - PC' if youre not familiar, and click the "Can you run it?" button.
  19. Mohinder is cool. He providing answers and now in season two (Spoiler alert) a cure for the disease.
