Alright, well hopefully you guys will excuse the mess we had today as one would hope

that is the final time. You web developers out there probably wouldnt believe how old some

of the libraries we had running around here were. We've pretty much upgraded everything

now though and as a result things are already generally faster. The hope is to increase

that about 6X by the end of the week. Let us pray! As for the evening nonsense:

As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

Lastly, I have given up on FireFox. I tried total purges of all install files and

registry entries to total reinstall the thing but no matter what I do and what

about:config variables I fuss with the thing is just assy slow and dies on DNS in many

cases. I suppose it is probably a good thing to have at least one person on our team using

Internet Explorer though. I will miss you FireFox. I'll see you again when version 3 is

final!

      CoH people is there anyone gathering all the shack replay files after these games? Would there be any interest in having someone host these? I know there's CoH dedicated sites for something like that, but I just was wondering if anyone else wanted something like that. It would be cool to even have notes about things to pick up on for each replay for people that suck, like myself.

        I got a bunch of great 1v1s and some 2v2s to post if so.

          Sure, send them over. I'll watch them, and if anyone's interested I can host them.

        i'd say just download stuff from gamereplays. much better skill there than any of us can reproduce.

          Well I was thinking it would be cool to have shack replays so we could ask the people in the games why they did what they did, etc and also be able to sort out what to look for by type of player/army, etc. but gamereplays is probably a much bigger and easier resource.

      Just saw the replay thanks to Chepito. Really nice stuff, I almost wept when Chepito's first Jagdpanther died. The allies on the bottom left with the Calliopes really fucked things up for you guys as well, but it was a really nice come back against a pretty organized team.

      I think the reason why I suck is just not enough play time. A lot of the micro and stuff I saw isn't beyond my capabilities, it's more knowing the maps, and knowing the unit capabilities and being able to split up my forces effectively. Despite how long I've had these games, my actual knowledge of the units/buildings/etc. is really lacking.
