Karate Pyjamas

My Lenovo T530 is barely capable of running it on 800x600 and lowest settings. It get's pretty hot when playing so I had to come up with something extremely ghetto. The laptop is propped up on 3 peanut butter jars and a big glas. This creates enough room to fit 2 1.5 liter bottles filled with water and then frozen so it sucks in cooler air. They're now in the freezer. Even on the lowest settings it still look amazing

Finally got it to install. Not sure how it will run or if it will run at all on my laptop. But we'll see. Download finishes it 5 hours.

Concerning the "have a load-out ready" does this mean we have to make one before hand or do we get 10 minutes during the game night to select one? I'm not too quick with the Arsenal so that's a bit of an issue and I'm super busy atm, I have to work before and after game night so a few guidlines wouldn't be out of place for me.

Signed up. I have a gala tonight which is anything but fancy as most of the people there will be crawling home afterwards. Expect me to be very hung over

Oi, Kamaradski, how I wish to have kept it running it was making duplicate instances and locking up my PC. I tried disabling it when I needed my PC but it decided to not listen to me. I had to un-install it

Just got my IR headtracking to work so this 'gun be good!

It really annoys me that I managed to "brick" my mouse just as it started. I was tweaking settings specifically for the event, but the mouse manager crashed and screwed my mouse over. (In such a fashion that I had to use a virtual machine with windows XP to re-install the mouse drivers to 'reset' it.) I hope to join next time! Sorry for not being there!

Well, there goes my input too then Any other particular reason beside wanting to try something new?

Fatal1ty headset is the one I use too. For years actually. Not too sure about mic quality over VoIP, but I can be understood. Sound quality is great for me too. Muffles the ambient sound plenty. It's comfortable, though some people report the padding getting loose quickly. Never had that problem myself, through all the abuse I put it it's still holding up great! Would I recommend it? Not really, there are much better ones out there, but it does the job for me and I'm not planning on switching anytime soon. Edit: I'm actually now putting it through a cheap USB sound card which I bought so I could connect my 5.1 surround sound to my laptop. Not sure how this affects mic quality. Haven't noticed any difference from when I put it in my laptop's 3.5mm jack or when I put it through my G510 keyboard. If you're not too much of an audiophile it might actually be a decent choice, not sure if prices dropped over the years but back in those days it was already really good. Offtopic: For the mic, I bought an audiotechnica lavelier condensor mic a while ago. I'm going to see if it has better audio quality than the headset. Just need to test it sometime and have someone give me some feedback on it. Only draw back from that is the super long cable.

Actually doesn't look too bad. Might be a fun break from the "real life" aspect

Hello all! I've got to say I've rarely had such a loving welcome to any community. Kuddos to you all! A brief introduction to me and my gaming history so far. I've started playing the same games as my brothers when they went to uni years ago. I remember playing Call of Duty: United Offensive via Hamachi back when I was young. Those times were a blast. My current nickname still originates from that period when I was around 12 years old. My first nickname was GI-max which my brother actually came up with when I started playing with them. Once that time had passed I rolled into Garry's Mod, back in the days when it was actually a free mod. I spent a good amount of time on there and got active in a few communities. However as GMod became more popular under 12 years olds who just discovered YouTube all the communities that were once so great got heavily DDoS'd and simply fell apart because of all the drama. This also ended that period in time for me. Swiftly before the end of this period my nickname changed to Karate Pyjamas as someone on one of the forums remarked having bought a "GI" which was followed by someone shouting out "enjoy your new Karate Pyjamas". Then adopted and still in use today (Kuddo's to some of you who've stated their joy in seeing my name, first community where it has been remarked twice in a week! ) L4D was just released and I hopped into a random server where I just rolled in to a gaming night even or "Gather" as they called it from a combined community from multiple clans. They called themselves The Group Thing or TGT for short. Simply having a blast there and feeling welcomed after all the GMod drama in the past I stuck there and eventually got invited into Earth Quakers or eQ for short. Little did I know was this the clan Splash Damage CEO Paul Wedgewood founded many many years ago. About a year ago I had the privilege to meet a lot of people from all those different clans. They always said they were a big happy family, but during the real life 'Gather' I experienced exactly that, people whom I've know for years through the internet just continued their everyday TeamSpeak conversations in real life. It was wonderful! On to current gaming life. As I'm a university student who's not doing too well I have to shift my priorities and everyday gaming simply isn't an option anymore. It actually makes me feel guilty every now and then. I'm looking for more casual indie games and some more serious games like ETS2 now to get my mind off of things when needed. ArmA3 has been on my list for quite some time now and about two weeks ago I simply cut the cord and ordered it. I first played a bit of the campaign to get familiar with the controls and watched YT videos to see some of the gameplay basics before fairly quickly hopping onto EU #1 and getting straight into the action! Now we're here, about a week in of ArmA3 play time on Ahoy World and simply having a blast! I just threw 5 quid at the donation form because I feel like this is just one of those communities where I'm to stay for some time For those who wonder what my other hobbies are, I build model fairground rides and roller coasters from a construction toy called K'NEX. I display them at a variety of events under the name of Dutch Details which is a hobby/fan club me and my best friend run. Since we've gotten a contract with the mainland Europe Distributor to display our models for promotional events we've only gotten more busy, expanding our collection of models for various events. Our biggest project was an entire themepark made for a toy museum, the total build time was 2 years!

Signed up! Really loving the community and last week's was a blast!

Signed up, been playing for a while now thought this might be a good way to get to know you guys all. EU 3 is confusing though. I got the mods to work but greatly appreciated if some of you would show me around a bit.
