This guy is a freakin beast.

Simply because its team fortress... nuff said.. its quite iconic.

Cool.. I just bought it on ebay like 2 days ago.. so, hopefully we'll shoot it up soon. I was a big fan of terrorist hunt on the first vegas..

meh... its an open forum right... negative or positive.. people post opinions.. thats the whole reason why we're here arent we? To be heard? When it comes to online gaming experiences.. specifically those involving Zipper / Slant 6, and Sony... we really havent had the greatest of experiences. Granted, socom is a game we love, but each and every game has had its issues... and alot of them involved the shitty network. So.. yeah Zipper, Sony havent had a steller online gaming performance reputation, and Im basing my comment on history.. I really hope to be totally wrong about mag, but IM not gonna hold my breath that it'll be the game of the year...

I personally think that MAG will probably be a network failure of epic proportions... but thats just me...

*raises hand every so slowly* Gears of war 2?!?! LOL haha.. W@W was fun, but Im just not a fan of that "era" of weaponry.. and since MW2 is coming out later this year, I'll just take a break from cod for a while. Curious though why no one really got into rainbow 6 vegas here...

thought that this was appropriate..

I like to mix it up with both chrome, and ff.. chrome works for me about 85% of the time, but certain sites wont load properly, or just dont work period on chrome for me.. so i switch back and forth, and use IE as my last option.

Dan.. there's a back up feature for your book marks if you go to the organize book marks option in FF... CTRL + SHIFT + B

**off topic**Altaiir is one of the coolest character designs of recent times... Great sig red on topic That pretty much summarizes clan recruitment as a whole... well said

Dude, its socom.. we will ALWAYS complain.

yes yes, lets continue to celebrate mediocrity...

LMFAO...

This is a great tool for those of you who like to frequently change your sigs Dont know how many of you are familiar with this concept, but its actually pretty cool for those of you who have access to some sort of web hosting. Basically the concept is simple.. I'll explain it in laymans terms, then the coding will come later. You basically create a directory online somewhere such as : urgentfury.com/rotatingsig in that directory you would upload the images that you would like to have in your rotation ( you could in theory have the images anywhere you'd like, but its easier for the code to have the images locally, rather that all across the internet (faster load times) Along with the images, you would upload a small text file that basically does the work for you. Once you have the code up, you essentially would insert your "CODE" like this into your sig, instead of having something like .jpg, .png, .gif Code: Now for the fun stuff Step 1. Make a directory on your webserver, call it whatever you want.. (which is a subfolder.. but never mind that) Step 2. Upload whatever images you want to have in your rotation to THAT directory Step 3. Copy this code: Code: <?php $folder = '.'; $extList = array();$extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';$extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';$extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';$extList['png'] = 'image/png'; $img = null;if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {$folder = $folder.'/';}if (isset($_GET['img'])) {$imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']);if (isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) &&file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )) {$img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];}} else {$fileList = array();$handle = opendir($folder);while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {$file_info = pathinfo($file);if (isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )) {$fileList[] = $file;}}closedir($handle);if (count($fileList) > 0) {$imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);$img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];}}if ($img!=null) {$imageInfo = pathinfo($img);$contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension'] ];header ($contentType);readfile($img);} else {if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {header ("Content-type: image/png");$im = @imagecreate (100, 100)or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);imagepng ($im);imagedestroy($im);}}?> Step 4. Start notepad, and paste that code into notepad, and save it as "index.php" Step 5. Upload "index.php" to the directory you created earlier To test that it works simply type in the address in your browswer: http://urgentfury.com/rotatingsig/index.php if you see an image, refresh the page, and it should change automatically to another image that you have in that directory. Step 6. Edit your sig in your forum profile to read: Code: Enjoy.

its actually php, not html

post it at least, its all in good fun.. its not like your gonna get kicked out for posting an old sig

God, I have like almost all of the sigs ive ever made ever... this one is at least 2+years old

Thats too funny!!!! Great find...

David Sirlin has published a book called Playing to Win: Becoming The Champion, a book that explores the concept of competitive gaming and the mindset of actively playing to win, also drawing examples of the different kinds of gamers that exist by selectively choosing and analyzing both chess and Street Fighter players.[2] Physical copies of this book were initially available from Lulu.com before the book was released for free to the general public on his website. The book was cited by scholar David Myers in his paper "Self and selfishness in online social play. Small excerpt: "Why Win at Games? The great thing about competitive, zero-sum games is that they offer an objective measure of your progress. When you walk the path of continuous self-improvement that a champion must walk, you have a guide. If you are able to win more (that is, more consistently defeat highly skilled players), then you are improving. If not, then not. Imagine trying to measure your success in other forms of life such as your personal life or career. Are you improving or not? To answer that, you have to know exactly what is included within the scope of the “game†and what is not. What are all the factors that go into your professional life? It’s very hard to answer. Even if you did have an answer and created a measure of your progress, others would not agree on your standards. Not to say that the opinion of others is important in your measure of success, but the opinion of others does “keep you honest.†Left to your own definitions, you could (and perhaps subconsciously would) define the scope of your game in a contrived way so as to appear to be doing well at it (or poorly at it). It would just be an exercise in determining whether you are an optimistic or a pessimistic person. Games are different. The very nature of a game is that it is a collection of rules agreed upon by all players. If players don’t agree on the rules, then they are not even playing the same game. The rules define exactly what is inside the game and what is outside. The rules define which moves are legal and which moves are not. The rules define what constitutes winning, what constitutes losing, and what constitutes a draw. There’s no weaseling out of defeat by redefining what the game is. The game should need no redefining, and a loss is a loss. In pursing the path of winning, you are likely to learn that concentrating merely on beating the opponent is not enough. In the long run, you will have to improve yourself always, or you will be surpassed. The actual conflict appears to be between you and the opponents, but the best way to win is to bring to the table a mastery of playing to win and a mastery of the game at hand. These things are developed within you and are revealed to others only during conflict." Full e-book here: http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/ *********** This guy is very well known in the Street fighter universe, and I came across this being such a big fan of SF.. and i thought that pretty much all of this applies to socom... so i figured id share it w/ you guys if your interested.

http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/ applies to pretty much everything in gaming... ^^

Ive had my share of being involved in bad mouthing, clan drama, and other crap... and im gonna summarize all of that with this: WHO THE FUCK CARES. We're all just here to have a good time, and to play some games... Drama, discontent, and shitty attitudes ruin clans, ruin the fun of gaming, and ruin friendships.. So... if it was on another site... If its not gaming news, or other important stuff... dont bring it here..

I know, im just being a pest... My thing is that if im making sigs for differentn people, I make it a point to make them clearly different, so it doesnt look like its a clan template. In my opinion, and sig template should only be used if its going to be used for some sort of uniformity... as in a clan... but, recycling is good for the earth.. so

you know im right tool... impress me dammit
