Haha, awesome video. Great run at the beginning.

The problem is definitely not related to connection speed - you have plenty to spare there. Your tracert also shows no problems. Based on what you posted you should be getting pings well under 100. Did you run those tests from the same computer and with the same setup as when you play DOD:S?

High ping and low FPS are two different things... Ping is related to your internet connection and FPS is related (mostly) to your computer hardware. Regarding your ping problems, do 2 things and post the result here. 1) Go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and run the test. 2) Go to command prompt (start - type cmd is the search box) and type "tracert 208.167.243.207" (without the quotes). ------------------------------ Added - I just re-read your post and realize I misunderstood the comment about FPS - so ignore that part of my response. Also, I realize you're asking for advice about what to buy - but let's take a quick look at the problem to see if that's the correct solution before spending the money!

I watched for a few minutes (not sure how long the full demo is, finally go bored) and didn't see anything that stood out to me. In fact, I saw 3 specific instances where he was surprised by a person coming from around a corner/through a door and got killed. It looked to me like he is just a skilled camper with fast reflexes - he waits at a spot and eventually someone runs around the corner and he blasts them. My 2 cents.

If you're a Louis C.K. fan this is a must see - http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/78a23f100...k-s-last-chance Caution - very NSFW language.

One of my favorites! Love Louis CK

Have a great birthday!

Happy birthday!

The only thing I can think of that would be more awkward than going to a strip club with your sister would be going to a strip club with your mom....

I've used sony vegas quite a bit in the past - it's fairly complex. I think I'll try out windows movie maker.

LOL!

Cute dog. Cute wife too... (assuming that is your wife).

Kaba - what program do you use for video editing?

This one always makes me lol...

lmao Good thread, or best thread?

Happy birthday dude - have a fun day!

Good thread. Also, how the hell do you embed youtube videos here?

I started playing in late 2003 or early 2004 (version 1.1 I believe). So about 8 years However, I played a lot for a couple of years (I was active when DOD:S was released) but stopped playing soon after. I picked it up again for a few months in 2008 and then stopped playing again. Then I started playing again earlier this year. So, I started playing 8 years ago but really only played regularly for 2 or 3 of those years. I can't believe how old this game is.

Yeah this has been happening to me a lot the past few days as well.

Have a good b-day!

I have to post this just to give Elf a hard time! Obviously I was hacking to obtain a domination on him... To be fair, he destroyed me repeatedly (and intentionally I think) for the rest of the game....haha
