video games have this great social bond in small groups that lends towards the DKE. it's a great example of this, esp if you primarily play with friends first

Dude, we (adults) turn the entire city into a party to celebrate the occurrence of a football game. But a group of girls watching a video on their couch is pathetic?

Knowing the maps, headphones, and knowing the recoil are the biggest things in CS imo.

The skills of the top guys in CS are insane. I'd like to think I'm decent at CS, but even guys a couple of ranks above me destroy me and they're not even close to being pros.

I would play Poolday or iceworld for that. Maybe crackhouse.

Surprised how long the game has lasted

No doubt. It's very hard to get started and get established. But once you do, you're alright

But even then, I think I'd keep my fulltime job. Just because you have no job security whatsoever on twitch. One day you can say something that offends someone and you lose your viewers and money.... And you're screwed.

I was never under any illusion of being good at FPS but it was always funny playing with my friends who thought they were good and watching them get smashed.

the best part about CS is its simplicity

real guns, consistent physics, and lots of map/game options

i laugh at shite like COD with its laser cannons and flying around and all that weird shite

When you were a kid and started acting like a fool did your parents or maybe a grandparent never say to you "you'd better straighten up or I'm about to yank a knot in your arse." Or something similar?

this, all the kids love Minecraft. Do they play it? NO, they watch some DanTm guy non stop play it. I tried to show them how to build cool stuff and they just went back to Dan TM. To me watching people play video games is only acceptable if you have ups on the next game.

a. i pretty much never got in trouble b/c if i was bad, i was smart enough to do it away from my parents and hide my tracks

b. i never heard them say this to anyone else who was less sneaky than me, though

i play source (b/c it still has the original maps and i play it for nostalgia) but the newer versions keep the same basic simplicity

i mean the original draw for CS was it had real guns that were somewhat realistic (as opposed to things like Doom or Quake with fake laser guns)

on old CS i'd always change my name. i changed it to "BBQ Dale Eearhart" after DE died (take that, weregonnalose) to troll the shite out of people

another popular one was when i'd change it to Robert Paulson and after i'd die, people would start flooding the chat with "his name was Robert Paulson...his name was Robert Paulson"

now i'm my name on here and my spray is a picof me with SFP <3s you on it with a swisha house logo (just to be random)

WTF is wrong with people? Your life must really suck if you enjoy watching strangers play video games. I just cannot wrap my head around this phenomenon.

That's pretty good.

Some of the sprays people used were pretty good.

I always enjoyed going into a clan server and owning and getting banned.

I was banned from a ton of fy_poolday. You could shoot through the walls and I would just get an mp5 and run nonstop shooting at all the hiding spots.
