so if i wanted to play it offline, every who plays would need to have steam updated to this point....

why dont they just release a stand alone version with bots as not everyone has access to the net to download steam let alone allow it to update itself [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

commentmaster, personally I thought alot of your comments had some foundation and validility, some amused me. When you go from being funny and true to just 'trying' to make the same ol same funny s***, you become boring and step into my world!

You rose through the anonymous mire of UKT, with some decent, funny and slightly abusive posts. Your slightly clever alias helped you get 'noticed' with your comments.

However when you throw the standard UKT/anti SCEE tripe out, like above. You're only leaving yourself open for a serious literarily beating.

If you think a totally random comment, in a thread that has nothing to do with myself or SCEE will make us fold. You are dumber than I initially gave you credit for.

More excellent players have played under this hallowed tag, than dirty immigrants have rampaged your mothers every orifce. Some which I'm sure you will never measure up to (SCEE players and dirty immigrants dicking your mum).

We achieve everyday by continuing to be here. Never once changing clan name, or aliases due to some flame, knocking or just outright hate! We will continue to be around, even if it's just to annoy you and the cheating kiddies who crave recognition!

Even GaZ- realised that 'just' being abusive isn't funny or clever. Follow his example and only post when you know it's going to be funny, rather than trying to be funny! Commenting on anyones skill or being brave and abusive under an anonymous alias is pointless. A bit like yourself!

Now take my dick out your mouth, go brush your probably yellow plaque encrusted teeth, gargle some mouth wash and get out and make some friends. Instead of idling in your 12 man private irc room containing people like dream and p3n/nicklearse 'LOL'ing' to each other about the last comment you've just made!

LAN what sulph?

If you're assuming (quite hilariously) that I expect SCEE and IQ.uk to make it to the LAN finals of this cup, where will will show you that your just a hacking bunch of love neglected kids, trying to fill hte void through CS.

Then you're thicker than a hacker, who would cheat and give his demo to an admin........... ¬_¬

was sulph not just commenting on the column itself rather than dk's pointless rant?

"More excellent players have played under this hallowed tag, than dirty immigrants have rampaged your mothers every orifce. Some which I'm sure you will never measure up to (SCEE players and dirty immigrants dicking your mum)."

so that could mean his mum has had no imigrants, and scee have had only 1 excellent player?

@jimmeh you really are a bit of a nob for trying to point out that my rant had no coherence to sulphs post! Your absolutely right as I was replying to commentmaster you f***ng retard. I even start my reply by naming him.

you really are a bit of a nob!

@PFC/FELLA: Give me the word I was looking for then, as it wasnt going to be a verbal or physical beating is it, as it's a written reply!?! Or maybe verbal still applies PFC, you're the pro. However FELLA you can just STFU matey, as you can't criticise me on anything, I know you to well!!

No i'm used to having convocations with coherent and educated people DK. Please don't insult my intelligence to think your seemingly manic drivel actually bothers me in the slightest. It seems you've been in the UK scene so long you've been changed by it DK. I remember when you were in CSA and you could construct a valid arguement without retorting to calling the other person a c**k! You think you're some sort of eThug cus you got your sibling to "sort out" noc-Rigs-, what did he do to your cousin DK? Why couldn't you "do him over"? You're so pathetic, at least have the backbone to stand up for what you believe in. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I have the backbone to stand up for what and who I believe in. However I couldn't do him over myself, not through lack of ability, but simply the fact that rigs/sam was 17 years of age! So was my nephew!

Also I never argued in CSA, as it wasn't my clan and didn't wish to tarnish a very respectable rep. All my flaming/arguing was done in my own clans LR and SCEE. I supposed you'd know more about CSA and me in that time asn you was obviously our standard!

So nice try again, or was there some other point were I failed to stand up for my convictions? Nice having a 'convocation' with you though cheat! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
