| in case you havent noticed quake.ie is as dead as a rusty doornail, so i have taken it upon myself to fill you full of bullshit. i'm not feeling nostalgic at all tonight so we'll skip the year of isdn and move onto dsl. dsl makes q3 enjoyable, it makes you about 30% a better player overnight and gives you the ability to use any weapon reasonably in any circumstance, however everyone else that plays quake3 has dsl too and the 30 odd ping you gained from going from isdn to quake3 isnt as big a deal as it seems....or is it, a case study is ded-benj, he was proved wrong, i told him for months 'do you realise what id do to you on 30 ping?' when eventually i was a proper lpb i tore his arse to a cinder with a 3000 degree hot iron. his moment of glory (beating me hammered after 10 cans of bulmers) were over. i will never under no circumstasnces play benjispendlove intoxicated again, irish players take note your life will be full of this irc papperazi man. scientific tests have shown benji is actually worse than ever now, probably because he thinks he can be rambo now on lpb but that alas is not the case.
i think any player coming from any connection other than broadband takes a while to adapt, some isdners are real good players because their ping doesnt allow for the cessing ability, so instead they play a cagey rail and rocket game which often works wonders. i had huge trouble myself dueling on dsl at the beginning, its about not knowing the limits i suppose. any ping, even if its 15 is still a ping - your alledged demonic accuracy is still off slightly - but a lot less so of course. 40 is a good ping, 50 loses you weapons and 60 loses you 50-50 fights, even if you are better.
i've nothing to complain about at the moment. my ping is basically always 25ish, 10-15 to local dutch servers and i'm handing out the ownage to the euro gaylords on behalf of the irish tricolor. i can actually say out of maybe 20 odd et and q3 clan matches, league or prac i've lost none, when i was at home in ireland playing off our very average dsl that was probably an evenly balanced figure. the cunts on the continent have it good, real good your greatness will be for a few years to come be overshadowed by their averageness. i'm definetly gonna think twice about online gaming when i move back home. the thought of a 15 year fat bastard nerd beating me with a white ping is sickening. it wont happen just yet though  .
