Ok, so this is like totally random but I was listening to music...as I took a break from singing Karaoke to grab a bite to eat...and the song Click Click Boom by Saliva came on. For those of you who were around waaaaay back in the day, that song played in the introduction on the website for the [NBS] clan who was {OCA}'s BIGGEST rival.
To make a long story short, the song reminded me of {OCA} and dropped by to see if the forums even existed anymore. Glad to see they are!!
Just wanted to say HIIII to everyone!!!!

Yes...I am still insane!

Whoa, Hi K@RR!
Welcome back! OCA is still around, even though not many of us. So is the NBS clan but they are now UT3 / COD4 clan.
Damn its been 4.5 years since you last posted here... time flies. I hope you are doing well. Are you still playing some games? There are still few sniper UT server if you ever find you UT cd again.

Thanks for the welcome back. It's definitely been a while. I didn't realize it was 4.5 years. Loong time. The last time I played UT was probably 5 years ago. Different things in life came up.
I don't have the UT cds anymore. When I moved and went through boxes, I threw them away cuz they were scratched and the computer that had UT installed, died. The computer I have now runs on Vista (bleh), does UT work with it?
I tried playing World of Warcraft but it just didn't keep my attention span and I tried playing Halo but it made me a little dizzy.
I got super hooked on Guitar Hero II & III as well as Rock Band but then my roommates who owned the xBox moved. I really liked battling people through xBox Live.
So I'm not playing anything now, even though now, I have LOTS of free time. I quit my job. So I'll probably be around here more.
What's everyone up to?

hi K@rr nice 2 c u still alive
tbh coming back to ut u would find a big "nothing"
noone is playin at least if playing they dont play together anyway.
the only crowded puplic server is snipermania which turned over into a spawncamper server
since there arn't any admins avaible and the headadmin just told us he wont change anything about that.
i started playin World of Warcraft somewhat in 2005 i think
now i'm one of the Guildleader of a medium sized Guild (about 100 Charakters)
also raidleader and recruiter .
Kinda a fulltime job i got about 6 lvl 70 charakters myself just to provide the raidgroup with the nescessary classes for their raids
but somehow i can manage to play at least a few hours ut per day
most likely i play on snipermania as -=Klappstuhl=- or Leothras when playin.
nix

yep, public servers are almost empty, Snipermania is the main euro server now, (which is usually full) TSU is also still here and a couple of other US servers, RSC and Bloodedge are usually populated, theres probably a few others but I cant think atm
There are a lot of cups, scrims, ladders and pugs though, Clanbase just finished one cup (http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?lid=6508) and theres a 4v4 TDM SA cup starting soon (http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?lid=7359) with 29 clans signed up there already and we are halfway through one that xS| started (http://www.xtreme-snipers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=599)
on irc there are always ppl looking for scrims and theres almost always a pug starting, though the whiners put me off pugging, so I dont.
I used to play Warcraft but didn't like paying for it nix you must've paid about €750 by now
I did play Guild wars for a while (even had an OCA guild with Adam ) but rarely play it now

dont know about 12,99 € per month ..its definately worth it since this game needs a whole server farm to run
its not about 32 slot servers
every server does have up to a few hundred ppl playin same time
so u cant even think of running it as a private server lol
Quote: | on irc there are always ppl looking for scrims and theres almost always a pug starting, though the whiners put me off pugging, so I dont. |
as i said in the past pug's are killing public servers and thats what happened
together with the change to ctf -ctf-players has always been the biggest whiners in ut- the whole community is like shit now
in the past we were kicking/banning whiners from pm since they were ruining the fun
now the community makes public legends out of the biggest whiners i´ve ever seen.
they cry like little babys about camping,chasing,backshooting,defending whotever even when they play on a public server where chasing n stuff isnt part of the serverrules....
another thing is in past u had mostly clan-players being the ones who were going by the rules and taking the game serious this was the past
today those ppl lame on the public server since they dont need them any longer because of the pugs
new generation gaming.. WGF-Style:)

I'm into cod4 big time at the moment. Running a clan for it, we only got about 13 or so members, but regular donations coming in for it so that's cool
If anyone is into cod 4 its a hardcore ranked tdm server 85.234.157.212:28950
And if anyone ever wanted to say hello our ts is 85.234.157.208:8003
I still can't get UT to run properly, I've tried everything I can find and had help from some guys in the MFD clan... with no luck. (I typed lick the first time... cudda been funny ;p )

@ K@RR
If you want to try UT again, here are download links for full version. Sorry about your job, I hope you will find better one soon.
@ Nix
Just ignore those whinning kiddies, there is not much we can do about them. There are still decent players around and I often have good games on SM (when I manage to "force" TDM map hehe).
Those whinners came from pugs and ladders/leagues. They kept finding reasons why someone cant be better than they are and unfortunately some of these absurd rules were adopted by part of CTF community (I have to say I partially blame Sard and ppl around him for this). Btw WGF has nothing to do with it.

hi!! yes, i am still alive. thanks to roba, i was able to download UT and install. i've been playing on snipermania and did see a bit of spawncamping but it wasn't too bad. i also played against some of the TSU clan members on their server. i play as K@RR on the servers.
wow, 6 level 70 characters on WoW, that must've taken some time. making that happen was a full time job in itself.
leebe
thanks for the info on the ladders. i might look into playing...as soon as i get back up to speed on playing ut...i was able to remember how to play now if i could only remember playing skills...i'm quite rusty on the playing. even the bots were having fun with me. i went through the whole tournament on all weapons just to warm up and i'm up to adept now. not many US servers are populated throughout the day. just sporadic but when they are, they're good games. TSU is working on new maps. The preliminaries look awesome.
roba
thanks so much for the link. i've been playing UT since i installed it 3 nights ago. no reason to be sorry about my job, i made the decision to quit. i'm calling it an "extended holiday." i will get something better..hopefully soon..this not having a job thing is starting to drive me crazy...too much free time. i keep giving myself work and projects to keep busy. hmm...what can i clean next?
How are the UT2004 servers? Still exist? A lot, little? I found the game for $9.99 (plus shipping) and I'm wondering if it's even worth buying now.
Anyone have Unreal Tournament 3 (2007) or tried the demo?? I have found mixed reviews and a lot of complaints regarding bugs with the game. I know that a patch was released but I don't know how much that helped. I can't run the demo on my computer due to the graphics gard requirement...speaking of graphics cards, how can i check what kind of video card i can use on my computer (i.e. pci, agp, pci express)? my current card is an integrated video card (intel express chipset). do i need to open the computer up or can i check a different way?
How's the gameplay for COD4?
Obviously...i have too much time on my hands right now...

Look inside your computer, thats usually good place to find some mess hehe (I don't even dare to look inside mine, I suspect there could be some creatures living there).

Not sure, but I think UT2004 is pretty much dead, at least SA is (if it ever existed). UT3 doesn't seem to be very strong within SA neither, looks like Epic will never beat their good old UT.
I tried demo, but it absolutely unplayable on my hardware.

Yes, download this:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/SiSoftware-Sandra-XII-2008-SP2-(14.24)-download-1391.html
Then install it, go to Tools, choose Create Report, click green right arrow and when you get to Benchmarks, unselect everything, then start the analysis. It will generate report file (SystemReport.txt.cab) in its root directory (under Program Files). Post it here, we will be able to identify your mainboard from it and tell if you what features is has.
