Teenage pop sensation Britney Spears has given all of her male dancers the boot for being too ugly.

Spears is now reported to be hunting a new troop of male dancers who are more to her liking.

"She didn't like the ones she had - so she fired them on the spot," reports an inside source. "She just wanted all her dancers to be really good-looking and hunky. She wanted everything to be just perfect."

"The gaming industry is worth more than Hollywood now. A computer game makes more than a film like Gladiator. Gamers can be compared to actors - they become the face of the game."

To those of us Q3 players who dislike CS, I think it's really the community that pisses us off, rather than the game itself. Something to think about when that snotty-nosed kid sitting next to you on a LAN is yelling out to the Lord Almighty himself that you're running through the sewers.

Mining minerals (ore and gems) is much faster in RA2. They mine the ore really fast. The Soviets have the War Miner, which is basically your ordinary C&C Harvester. However, it has a gun for small defense that is good against most targets and it is heavily armored. However, it is still slow. The War Miner has to take its slow and often dangerous route home. The War Miner can hold $1000 worth of ore ($2000 in gems). The Allies have been given the Chrono Miner. It can only carry $500 worth of ore. However, the Allied Chrono Miner can chronoshift back to base. Once it picks up its ore (which is a fast ordeal), it is back on the refinery, has its ore dumped, and is back on the road in only about a second. The Allies also have the Ore Purifier, which adds 25 more ore per shipment. There is a limit of 1 on these(pre purifiers).

*Note: If the buy weapon system malfunctions, disable the vgui through the "Play CS" > "Customize" menu

please note that b7 DOES NOT fix all bad_svc errors and connection problems. Valve will fix this in their next patch.

Greetings!
[ 1:41 PM | Nael | 89 comments ]
Greetings mere mortals! I have returned after a 3 month hiatus! I see my one liner post has generated 50 comments - I hereby declare myself the KING OF POSTALITY.

Thank you very much and one thing: if you have to throw in some juicy shite go all the way man don't leave things hangin' otherwise it's better not to say anything at all right? ;P

I haven't read any of the 50 Intech posts yet but here's my opinion: those guys were swell enough to come up with a Q3 tourney, and sure they screwed up in the execution (choice of mod/using a ?crappy? mod in the first place) but really we aren't in the position to lambast them too much are we? I mean after all the smack talk we can't even get anyone to run a decent Q3 tourney - and this is how it's gonna be until some real ACTION is taken. Yeah, we've heard this all before haven't we? It's just like the goosehump-Nael Middle Class Trap.

PIKA-A?!
