What games you playing?
Not playing online right now - too addicted to STALKER. It ranks up there as one of the best games I've played in many moons! I probably give it a much higher rating because I never followed the hype. I remember following the hype for the original Quake and was sorely disappointed with what was actually released. Same thing happened with STALKER for many I assume.

PS. Get some weight for your mouse - it will fix any accuracy problem. Helps line up shots!

I even miss the original UT. The best were the Sniper Rifle only servers with the FAT mod installed - the more kills you got, the fatter you got! BBR.Ca was my favorite server!

PS. STALKER is the most addicting game I have played since Oblivion. I think I like it better than Oblivion.

That brings me back to thoughts on how the original Quake was supposed to be. The hype included that it was supposed to be like Arena (The Elder Scrolls) in which you could wander through the forests in one direction for hours, and all sounds were supposed to be ambient like you were supposed to walk past a cave and hear something inside....Or how about how you could hear someone below you, and shoot out the boards under you feet and kill that person below you. Hmm, guess that never happened either.

What we got was basically another Doom with a much worse story, but I guess we got decent 3D graphics out of it - but that is just it - that is all we got. Still I guess Quake was a good multiplayer game.

The hype pretty much destroyed it.

PS. SO where exactly is my Duke Nukem 3D 2? Hahahahaha! Still in production and still the biggest hype story of all time! How many years in production now?

Quake deserves much respect simply for what the graphics engine did for the FPS genre.

I have the Logitech G5 laser mouse, and it has an internal tray you can put weights in. Great stuff, I have adjusted the weight to kind of heavy, as I like that too.

I don't like the Logitech's weight placement personally (At the back of the mouse), but at least you can add weight without voiding your warranty! That would almost make me buy the G5 over the Copperhead alone!
