I. I probably don't pimp out my Twitter as much as I should - there are some people who have so many followers that it just befuddles me.

However, if any of you decide you no longer want to follow me after this morning's tweet, I fully understand:

Is there a laxative in Red Bull that they forgot to mention? I can't work out if I've been sitting on a toilet or a Foreman Grill.

Anyway, the reason why I'm labouring you with that awfully sloppy (aha :D) piece of information is because... [Read More]]]> Sun, 2 Sep 2012 22:07:16 Member Blogs Member Blogs dippa en Lessons (III) /blogs/showentry.php?e=547 /blogs/showentry.php?e=547

I. Experience is never a waste of money - only a wasted opportunity, if you're lazy.

That sounds a lot better than it looks if you got knocked out in the first round of the lower bracket on Saturday - especially if you copped the brunt of the lag and FPS drops, which was particularly brutal at the start of the day.

That said, first in has never really been best dressed in eSports - anybody that got the opportunity to play later on in the day typically has a leg up. Gamers...

[2:35 AM] dippa: wondering if i should throw together a blog
[2:35 AM] neon: do it !
[2:35 AM] dippa: **** it
[2:35 AM] dippa: i'm bored
[2:35 AM] raycey: Haha, yeah totally!

And so we find ourselves, once more, at this juncture at 2:30am in the morning.

Let's begin.

I. I'm a pretty stubborn idiot, and I felt like a complete douche earlier this week when I came to the realisation just how useful and more critically - essential - it is to practice builds, not against a practice...

Thursday marked the last day I could spend in my previous unit, with Friday being the end of the 30 days notice period you receive when owners decide they like their place a lot more when they're paying the mortgage themselves. Apparently he got a new job in Sydney or something (moving from Queensland) although the timing of the notice - one day before my lease expired - makes me wonder if it's not a giant ruse just to relist the property or find some way to...

But it was in December 2003 in an internet cafe on George St that I became a little less socially awkward.

The last competition for Counter-Strike 1.5 was being held that day. Steam launched a couple of months earlier, but the added computing requirements - gamers went from running CS quite smoothly on Celeron and Duron 700's to needing a 2ghz+ PC just to get 100fps.

Anyway, one of the competitions was a fan-fiction sort of thing. A bunch of surprisingly good writers posted their efforts - I remember one poem call "My Ling Skip" that was fantastic - including myself.
