This week has been a week of coders flurrying to to get scripts sorted, The English claiming the only reason they got beat was because the Germans are awesome and Brazilians flooding the streets of Rio de Janeiro with emo tears.

This week also saw the homecoming of competitive counterstrike! To my delight. KGL were the first to launch a tournament since the update. We played in the knock-out stage of the KGL summer cup, with the semi-final of our bracket against [FP] on De_Tuscan, which we won 16-5! The final of the cup, against SOG, was played on de_nuke (one of my favourite maps) and finished 16-13 to us.. So congratulations to Tin, Slab, Greenie, Vapour and Eskimo for bringing it home.

Week 3... Probably been the easiest week so far to find things to talk about! What first, Css is f#*! terrible... (not really) but the general idea is that valve have messed up a game that we all love so much!

What the patch gives us:

• New match player statistics and summary screens (144 achievements)

• New end of round display with MVP and a fact about a player

• Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures

• New cinematic death camera

• New domination and revenge system

• Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display

• Incorporated many source engine updates

So they claim!!! My version of that list:

• New match player stats and summary screens (Including 'Achievements' for being crap!)

• New end of round display with Gazza gaining a star and a fact about a player

• Updated scoreboard with new icons, visual style, MVP stars, and avatar pictures

• New pointless and poorly implemented death camera

• A TF2 Feel to counterstrike

• Added avatar icons to voice chat, scoreboard, and end of round display

• Incorporated many source engine updates (which lag a lot of people)
  
  
  

Now being fair, I believe that after a few patches, we will get a newer and better CSS - and if you don't understand the anagram skip this paragraph. Its not long out, and in comparison to the problems with Bad Company 2 But when we enter the world of source engines and programming I know as much as this guy about art “Van Gough's Mona Lisa” - Epic fail... But my personal feelings on the update is that it will provide more than it will remove, and unless your a fan of mini-games you will also like the final outcome.

On a side note TWK currently has “Two Gungame servers, one regular Gungame, the other Deathmatch Turbo, one Surf Deathmatch server, one pure Deathmatch server and finally 3 Source servers. You can find their IP's on the "Our Servers" panel. “ - thanks Vogon, saved me writing it out!

Now to move away from the firing ball of rage, that is the feeling of a high percentage of the CSS community, I will move onto a personal discovery. Anyone who likes there endurance sport apple have an app for you! Well apparently they have one for everything. But this little gem I found is free! Its called RunKeeper and its available for iPhone and Andriod, It cannot be used on an iPod touch as it requires GPS. Now it basically turns your phone into a GPS watch (which will set you back £300 to tell you where you went). But it gets better, since you have or should have unlimited data, it will upload the information to the internet, giving you a page like this! Now in the terms of sporting ability it is pretty good for cyclists / runners. Its all the information you require after a workout. Now I do realise I'm sending this out to a gaming community, and as stereotypes stand. This isn't the most significant to you! No offense intended. Now after offending you all I'm going to make a dash, and you wont be able to catch me because your a chubby gamer!

Now since im no professional article writer, I like some feedback on these articles. Do you enjoy reading then? Do you think im an ass? Are you a rich hot dumb blonde who thinks im the greatest thing ever? Are you a gamer on a diet? Please let me know!
