  • Registered Users Posts: 720 ✭✭✭MarcusFenix


    Awww wtf!? How do I get my sig instead of that yolk? I have the image saved but all I know how to do is put an image with a URL as my sig, not something saved to my computer!:mad:

    tinypic.com allow you to upload your pic, then give you a selection of options, one if which is for forums.. tis what i did :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,692 ✭✭✭shawpower


    You need to use img as the tags rather than url.

    If Kiely gets his done, it had better have noob tube, seen as he is our resident specialist in that area :P

    Did anyone else have bother when yimrag was host last night. I'd start off perfect on 4 bars, then mid-game I'd notice weird things happening (like me dying!!) and check the connection. I'd be down at one bar. Then it'd pop back up to 4 again soon after. It's the same when PerrinV2 is the host. It's a pain when they get picked. Not their fault at all, but it often leads to them being dumped out after a host migration. Oh for dedicated servers!!

    Perrin is always host unfortunately for him.

    I feel bad that he always insists on backing out for the sake of us having a better connection.

    So I was right about this being a second account. I'm not sure if he backs out though. The game normally ejects the host after a migration, so he has no choice in the matter.

    Congratulations.

    He isn't ejected. He backs out. He says it everytime.

    ''Ah lads i'm going to back out and i'll rejoin in a few minutes''

    Tbh i'd rather he stayed. I don't mind the lag that much and it's not fair him having to back out because he wants to give us a better connection.

    Why should he back out? He shouldn't have to.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager

    This is a joke right? Nobody, unless not of able mind, "doesn't mind lag"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭Mysterious Man

    I assure you i'm of able mind.

    And no the lag doesn't bother me.

    We're talking about two different things. When it goes to host migration, the host is normally ejected midgame. Nothing to do with PerrinV2. However, maybe on top of that PerrinV2 says he'll back out. I've not heard that, but it sounds like something he would do.

    Yeah he's a nice bloke. Never seen Perrin back out but in my experience he's not the worst host. It'd be worse if I was hosting tbh. Hoping I don't go back to my mediocre ways tomorrow and keep on this little high. :p

    Really!? REALLY!???

    Edit: I think perrinv2 be a sh!ite host, apparently he doesn't like biscuits and makes ya take yer shoes off at the door!

    God help us all if I'm host. Eircom 1mb is fairly gick at the best of times. Apologies if I ever got you killed.

    Shammy you need to get on soon we're starting to co-ordinate perks and the like. Very "Pro". As for me I won't be on after a certain time as I'm off to get wasted for results night. I did O.K just have to wait and see if I get my course now.

    Game tonight lads?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭kielmanator


    some pretty good games last night lads, that one on Favela where we ran 75 to 74 was pretty tense! and the match on Rust was just insane earlier in the night with Raven and Yimrag:cool:

    Yeah there was far too many nailbiters going down to the last kill wins. Was like a script from a hollywood action movie. That throwing knife kill winning killcam would fit in with well with the Expendables.
    I've learned 3 things from last night.
    1) Predators can't take down ac130s (which I suppose is fair but makes little sense)
    2) I like the game better when it's tougher, I lose interest if I'm doing well, oh look a squirrel!
    3) My experimental riot shield/stinger class is never going to work. But I recommend trying it just for the sheer feeling of futility you have.:pac:

    I ran up against a guy on Terminal the other night who finished top scorer using a Riot Shield. He ran with Marathon, Lightweight combo, which made him pretty nifty around the place. He stuck around the plane and cleared up anyone in those tight spaces. It was infuriating, but I had to tip my hat at him. He did a very good job with it. I tried to leg it a few times and he was still quick enough to catch me twice with the shield.

    Try it with Machine pistols as secondary. So you win with the RS against someone who faces off, and if they try to turn and run you blast them with your akimbo Glocks. Spas is also good because of the range.

    And they have broadband over there, don't they?

    If you were even half the devotee to the cause that you should be, you'd be luggin your XBox over with you at the expense of "necessities" in your luggage and sitting indoors with the blinds down (to stop the pesky sunshine glaring off the screen) while racking up the hours with the boardsies!!

    Tut tut...


    (seriously though - enjoy!:D)

    I love bumping into these lads, they oftern work in pairs, double the fun. Your options are
    1. Shoot 'em in the ankles, makes headshots seems easy
    2. Get an overview of their hunting ground and time an RPG into ground behind them
    3. Drill into a car nearby, they get confused by all the gunfire and not being hit, then they go BOOM.

    Just do not engage in a fistycuff, you will lose.

    I was trying the ankles thing, but he had them well covered.
    Didn't have RPG unlocked at the time, but do now. :D
    No cars close by in terminal unfortunately, but handy tip for future.

    I always find that the best way to kill them is use a knife, if you just go to run past them and stab at the edge of the riot shield, it always gets them, and means you can save your semtex for campers :)
