no, please, just tell me something valve did correctly.

The number of things VALVe has done right is too numerous for me to sit down here and write out, but think about every positive fix and feature added from 1.0 on. Those are things "done right" all courtesy of VALVe software. Gooseman himself works for VALVe. I was thinking just the other day how nice it was that my sound doesn't die now when I get messaged on AIM like it used to. Think of all the little things like that, and a million others, you pathetic ingrate.



It's not like we worship their every move, because yeah, they make mistakes just like everyone else. But seriously, if we were all as critical of you as you are of VALVe, maybe you'd realize that it's nice to cut people some slack sometimes. Sheesh.

Thanks for posting that email, ozmer. Glad to see it is indeed working out. :)



At our residence back at OSU, we had to pretty much go with the argument that the residences on campus are homes for the students, and as such it was fair and reasonable to expect the college network to enable students to pursue entertainment uses of the network. Admittedly, we only half-way got our wish, as packet prioritization software was implemented, and games were given the lowest priority level, which essentially meant they often lagged.



The other thing that helped us with getting our wishes was forming an on-campus club of sorts, the "Oregon Gaming Engineers" as it was, and setting up dedicated on-campus LAN game servers to help alleviate external bandwidth use. So it ended up being a give some / take some type of situation.



On a final note, I dunno how your college is set up, but there are various levels of authority. Sometimes the network guys won't try to help you out, but the housing people will, or residential life department, or whatever your particular campus has. Look around, lobby with people, and try to put whatever pressure necessary on them to get things working.



I remember petitioning to the higher powers to get to paint our CS mural on our wall in the hall of the dorms. Keeping it as an advertisement for the OGE club (as mentioned before) we were able to paint it against the will of our hall manager. :)

i never thought anyone would answer to my post, but I should have known it: nighthawk would
