Okay, so lately I've been having adware problems.
But now, this morning, I thought it somehow affected my Counter Strike! (Through trying to delete crap with HiJackThis!)
I joined a 20 ping server, only to find I was pinging 300!
K, so perhaps this isn't a big deal, but I figure it'd serve as a reminder:
In Counter Strike, there are many things you can cusomize. Type "net_graph 3" in console and you'll see your frame-rate, choke, etc. If your choke is anything above 0 (Mine was 30-40!) then you might want to check your "rate".
Type in "rate" in console and see a number, if its only 4 digits long (Like 1200 like mine was!) you just want to up that to something crazy (I put in "rate 20000") and instantly my ping was down to 18-24!
Okay, so I screwed over half of you that know this already, well the others get a treat, perhaps their rate's been killing their choke whigh has horribly affected their gameplay!
But as a token of my appreciation, here's a link to the new HL2 video, with a sneak preview of the new Counter Strike! (Click on one of the mirror sites to download):

if i have a super old version of counterstrike can i just install it and upgrade or is there a whole new "cs2" or something out that i have to buy
HL2 runs on a whole new engine, as will the CS of it. So this new CS will be much more improved both in physics and graphics and will not be simply an "update" from 1.6
I think I knew what he meant banzai lol.

my email registered is: tigerdbr@excite.com
Not sure if you use that or "tigerdbr" itself to add me as a buddy.
I haven't used the buddy system on it much, I usually talk to my friend on AIM and tell em the IP then rush on in!
I'm game for some NP-Clan hah. My name is sometimes:
EfiniVII
Phoenix Down VII
Adonis Falls

so are you using 1.6? or has hl2 come out yet, sorry my life = train wreck right now, not keeping up with cs
HL2 and CS for it didn't come out yet, due in the fall i believe....
Eyxom: it's "TigerDBR" (Go figure)
