lmao 20-5 in a office PUB? Soviet I will join your club if you let me teach you the ways of higher CSS. Guarenteed you'll be going 50-3 in pubs after I show you.

 

Man, no one gives love to 1.6 anymore. Sigh.

Anyway, hope you don't begrudge an Asus owner. Haha.

 

Teaching and learning are one of the main principles of this group. You are more than welcome to join.

I still have my M38AW so I'm getting anywhere from 150fps to 40fps in cs_office. I was already used to the straight 60fps from my M570TU that I had to revert to my old tricks for playing against low fps and lag. I'm lucky to have even kept up with the team on my old notebook.

 

Invite sent just recently...Soviet will no doubt will be the master of me in CSS soon enough.

 

Actually lots of love for 1.6, it's the true CS.

 

True that. Anyway, I blame Soviet for making me impulse-buy CSS. I will see you around, comrade.

Now I have to go to FPSBanana to reskin all my crap again. Oh well.

 

Glad to have you aboard.

 

Finally, you bought CS:S. I was going to buy it for you for Christmas along with four other people.

 

Okay. I'm in! Now to reinstall CSS lol. (I'm more of a TF2 guy)

Still had to work. But hey, time and a half and no school, so it's all good.

He couldn't hear me calling him over his loud fans.

Soviet, the join group button does nothing for me, do I need an invite or something to join?

EDIT: never mind. Steam has a bad habit of logging me out every now and then >.>

Double EDIT: Okay I hath joined your ranks! And how sweet, you started the group on my birthday.

 

Glad to have you on, D2 Ultima. In Russia, it was already the next day when I started this group, haha.

I just finished testing for my second degree today. After a long nine hour test, the physical tax on my body has left me bedridden for the weekend until I recover. Unfortunately, that means also limiting my time on the computer as I cannot use my right hand. My new notebook has already been delivered at my old man's place in Vegas so I'll probably swing by there after I spend Thanksgiving in LA.

 

Second degree? What are your two degrees? o.o
And what new laptop did you get?

 

His first degree is in fine arts (finger painting) and the second one that he just recently got is ballet:




Ok maybe not. He's actually training to become a ninja assassin, he just got upgraded:

 

Ignore that asshat 5150Joker, haha. I was testing for my second degree black belt in Shotokan Karate. It was a long test that I was preparing for these past few days, which explains why I haven't been on NBR much before the weekend. It took me almost an hour to respond to all the PM's that have been piling up in my inbox and my busted hand isn't exactly speeding up the process.

Let me put it to you this way. It was a nine hour long test starting at 09:00 and ending around 18:00. First part of my test was to run 12 laps around a local park, which is about six miles given that each lap is about half of a mile. That's just to get us warmed up. The actual test involved going through everything that I was taught. First was going through all the kihon (basics) going forward and back doing every technique I have learned in the past 11 years. Of course there were periodic minute breaks to catch my breath and take a shot of water, but overall the whole part was non-stop. After that we had a 15 minute break to eat a few fruits just to get some sugar back in our body.

Then just like that it was onto the second part of the test: go over all of the stationary kihon and applied kihon with a partner. Next came the kumite (sparring) techniques. It is similar to kihon; going back and forth but using kumite techniques. It isn't as long as the first part, but it damn well felt just as long. I was beginning to fatigue at this point. Next came the second part of kumite, which was to defend against predetermined attacked in a "pretend" match. For example, my partner would say chudan (middle) and he would come at me with a middle punch and I would defend with a block and a counter punch. There were 10 techniques in the chain and each one had to be done consecutively without delay. So this part tested my muscle memory as I needed to have these memorized by sheer reaction.

After that was kata (forms). I had to execute all of the 20 kata that I know of the 31 in Shotokan. For example, this is one of them done by Kanazawa-sensei back in the old school days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMdGiRYHBPk. Since there were only three of us, it was non-stop with only a short break after each set of five. Since I'm the only one testing for nidan (second degree), my other two partners were testing for shodan (first degree), I had to complete the last few of the kata alone because they were already done with their required set.

The next part was a breather period for me. It was the self-defense portion of the test where I had to demonstrate with my partner how to break out of and counter a grab or incoming strike from various position. This is where it gets creative because I have to show how I would react and how I would execute each attack and counter. For each one, we had to do it slowly first to show how it would be done, then the second time would be to execute it in realistically in real-time. By this time my body was about to go, but I still had mental focus up in my noggin because I knew it wasn't over yet.

The last part of the test was the last portion of kumite. This time it's actual fighting against the panel of the six instructors grading us including my own instructor, making seven. In traditional kumite, the only things that are worn are lightly padded gloves. Each match is only one point. Whoever lands a properly executed strike is half a point. However, if the strike is "impressive" or assured that the fighter has scored against the other, it is a full point. This means that each match can literally end in two seconds. I wasn't going to let that happen though. What sucked was I injured my right hand during the very first round in the first match with one of my instructors. It was a left front kick that intercepted my attempted reverse punch to his body. His foot jammed into my fourth and pinky finger knuckles. Not the knuckles at the base of the fingers, but the first joints above that. I was at a disadvantage because I was already nearing my physical limit, I could not use my glasses during kumite because of the obvious, and I have no use of my right hand to execute counter punches, which is the technique I pull off frequently after waiting for a move in the way that I fight. I don't know if it was the sheer will to live on or the drive to complete the test, but I held my own despite finishing the rest of the kumite disabled while still taking quite a number of good shots to the rest of my body. Here is what a kumite match looks like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkGP0AM14F0&feature=related. Out of the seven matches, I only won three of them. This doesn't mean I fail the test though. Thankfully this was the very end of my test and I got to enjoy sitting down watching my partners go through the same experience I just had as well as watch my right hand slowly turn a color that you would typically find in a crayon box. There was no written or spoken part of the test. The aspect of karate that gauges one's character, I believe, is done over a long period of observation and learning with the student. Though I have an aggressive morality for spreading self-reliance and upholding justice, I'd say that I'm okay on my own.

How I was able to drive home that night is simply utter luck for me. I'm happy that it's over and I eagerly await the result of my test on December 4. This is probably the last time I will have to go through this until I spend a few more years learning how to teach as an instructor. But for now, I am confined to my bed and I can barely move my body let alone walk on my own. And I have to put up with my girlfriend playing that goddamn game MapleStory and watching anime that I don't watch to watch all the live long day as I slowly recover back to health. I wish I could play Counter Strike, or even type this post in a much shorter time. But because of my right hand, I can't do so. I can use my index finger but it eventually starts to pain after a while. Getting used to using a mouse and typing left handed is actually fun. I'm surprised to find that I am still fast and accurate using lefty.

D2 Ultima, I am still under self-NDA. So nobody knows whether I have the 15 inch or the 17 inch W8x0CU yet. You will know soon enough though.

 

That sounds like a long test. A really long test. I feel your pain friend. I know about those kinds of counter moves and katas. Hope you pass your test too. And as for your girlfriend Maple Story I can understand, I get fed up of people telling me about it, but I shudder to think what kind of anime she watches that has you so annoyed hehe.

And 15 or 17 inch doesn't really matter at this point I guess, at the end of the day you would have a GTX 280m and a mobile i7 in your machine right? The screen size would be the least of my worries hehe. And actually I'm hooked on Modern Warfare 2 now... it's so freaking addictive. Much better than the older games, but people hack too much on it (sadly). Somebody told me they were using a tactical knife attachment to slice me (and 2 other people) in under 1 second, but it was still too fast for even that (cuz I killed them and took their weapon and tried out for myself) and their motion at the time was a knife from their back. Ah well.

 

I've regained some use of my hand so far but it still purple and hurts like hell. You don't want to know the kinds of anime that my girlfriend has in her external. It will make even the most hardened people shiver.

Right. It doesn't matter which notebook I get. But I have already made a promise with a bunch of cocky people here on this forum that I wouldn't tell which one I got until I pick it up later this week. Some people have bets riding on me, haha. Having the flexibility of the i7 will definitely benefit my framerates in emulated games. That's what I'm looking forward to the most.

 

It's totally going to be the W870CU. Why? Because it's 17" like your beloved M570TU (I think that's what you have), and it somewhat looks like it minus the orange trim!

 

LAWL fighting ninja nerd watchout O NOES every1 run for their life!!

lolol jk, but dam you rule online and offline...haha

 

I'm in. Recently purchased the original L4D and CSS. Broke my CSS cherry tonight.

 

Both awsome games. CSS was $5 last night, right?

 

I think so. I bought it Thursday or Friday for that price and think it stayed that way for the weekend.

 

CS:S is the number one game any FPS player should have installed. Glad to see you picked it up, jeff0078.

 

$5?! That's a damn steal right there. I think I would've bought an extra copy just on principle. Nice catch, Jeff.

 

After playing some games, I'm definitely warming up to my new laptop. Addicting stuff even though I'm pretty terrible. Never been much of a "natural" when it comes to FPS's.

 

I'm in the same boat.. Horrible at FPS games. After playing CS:S for a few months now, I'm just OK.. certainly not good. It's a hand eye coordination thing.. Some people have it.. I certainly do not!

 

Practice is all it takes. Even just playing casually over time will make you better. I was really bad at the original CS when my dad first got it back in 2002. And because of all that time playing CS, my precision with a mouse in general apps has gotten much better.

 

Modern Warfare 2 took my soul away...nooo!
