I was a huge fan of the old school AvP2 PC game, I even remember competing against fatal1ty and drax leading up to the CPL tournament where fatal1ty won the infamous AvP2 designed Ford Focus.  The game was certainly a ton of fun, and had a very distinct adrenaline rush feeling to it.  However, it suffered from very poor net code and made playing extremely frustrating at times.  One of the first things I noticed when playing Left 4 Dead was how much it reminded me of playing the aliens in AvP2 (even though I was primarily a predator player, sup with locking on and instagibbing aliens).…  More

    Every other game made by Valve ( to my knowledge) has this nifty little thing called a server list.  With this list you can see how many players are in the server, your latency with that server, what map that server is playing and even descriptions of any special add-ons that server may be running.  Now because you can also filter this list in all the ways listed above, it is quite easy to find a server that you will enjoy playing on right from the get go.  Now to the real question... why do…  More

This is a Hunter video of myself completing a speed run of 3:13 in the Hunter City map. I was introduced to this map and challenged to a race by my friend, "The Immortal" and later got really interested in all the records set by other players on YouTube. The record to date that I saw being the highest was 3:14, but that was on the b3 version of the Hunter City and that user took a very huge shortcut in the beginning.

Sorry I haven't been around lately to post, I'm in the midst of a pretty big crisis irl.  Basically my fraternity is being shut down by international for ridiculously dumb reasons and I just found out today I have 3 days to move out.  Thankfully I have some very good friends who are giving me a place to stay/store my stuff for a few weeks but I still have to find a place to live for the next school.  I won't be around at all until I get things figured out.  Me and 39 other guys just essentially got royally ****** by some dick head alumni.…  More

A teaser video of myself representing Team HAUSEN.  More

This one will hopefully be much much shorter than the previous one but hopefully will outline just as much. ( going to try and keep the ranting to a minimum).

Last time I talked about why I thought simply converting all the health packs to pills really was not that big of a change but in that article I also touched on pill spawns and such being random. I believe I was talking about one team spawning a tank with full pills and multiple molotovs where the other had no pills and one molotov. This i…  More

So the only thing that is fun for me in L4D besides playing scrims and matches is griefing people.  The whole new car smell wore off of pubbing with strangers and having fun about 3 months ago, so I had to find new ways to have fun in pubs.

Being the evil devious bastard that I am I have found many ways to ruin other players gaming experience, thus enhancing mine.  So without further ado I will share with you all the ways I have found to piss off other players.

     After playing in the first 6 or 7 rounds of the CEVO tournament, there were several things that kind of popped out at me that did not really seem as good as they could or should be, at least regarding the cevo config.

    First of all, let me outline what I personally think CEVO tried to accomplish the config so hopefully you can have a better understanding of where I am coming from.  First of all, it was created to help reduce the randomness of the game.  Obviously there are still random el…  More

Alienware Survival of the Fittest

Alienware has announced their online tournament with the help of iGames / CEVO, and it will feature a $1,500 CASH PRIZE!.

This is awesome news as competitions have been popping up left and right.  Sadly we needed this type of exposure months ago when CAL folded and it severely hurt the community, however all hope is not lost and hopefully with people seeing that competitive L4D is being taken seriously we will see an influx of new players.
