I jacked in my job a few weeks ago, so as of Friday the 30th I'll be free and clear for a daytime CS revival. With a couple of months of solid training I should be back up to my career high of pick-up reserve by the Christmas hols :)
We 'upgraded' from 512k to 'up to 2mb'... Now I lag out whenever the phone rings :(
Combination of piss poor ISP and dodgy wiring I'd wager, but as with everything else it takes effort to fix and effort is in short supply ;)
Late to the party I know, but I've just finished reformatting this comp from the ground up and next on the install agenda is HL2 et al. I'm definitely up for trying to get some co-op in, although whether having a horrendous ping will affect play too…
