What do you say ?![/i]\\r\\nDespite the fact that LEWLY proved he is not scared of anyone, this could be different. While watching how [b]Gene[/b] floating throughout the map, I was waiting for some mistakes - vainly maybe one or two ducks could be released sooner. In the last seconds of the run you could notice a small hand shaking caused by nervousness but it did not slow him down and [b]Gene[/b] overcame it like a true champion. Enjoy this treat for eye.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]2.[/b] [flag]ru[/flag] [b]ShoCk bkz_pyramidblock done in [timer]8807| 03:41.39[/timer][/b]\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]ShoCk [/b]took back what belongs to him and smashed previous World Record by almost 8 seconds. Such a huge improvement is quite rare but while watching all the risky and sometimes even unbelievable combos you'll get it. There were a few slower places and in the end [b]ShoCk [/b]was glad he actually did it. Nervousness is a bitch :D\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]ShoCk:[/b] I was attempting this map for like an hour during 2 or 3 days but I have to say that it lingered a little because of my inablity to focus on a damn map. Thanks to koukouz for laughing like a crazy bitch over the mic each time I'm on halfway through the map. I still accomplished it though.\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]3.[/b] [flag]ro[/flag] [b]Gene kzsca_broken done in [timer]8828| 03:58.01[/timer][/b]\\r\\n\\r\\nThink fast, act right, keep things under control. Until you can't manage these qualities you can only dream of beating these kind of maps. Even though [b]Gene [/b]is experienced jumper, [i]kzsca_broken[/i] is a very hard map which doesn't like to be beaten but even with one big fail [b]Gene [/b]picked himself up dusted himself off and dominated the map.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]4.[/b] [flag]lv[/flag] [b]akkord kz_cxg_jekyll done in [timer]8812|02:32.72[/timer][/b]\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]akkord [/b]a.k.a. hard/extreme/death difficulty maps grand master showed up in a release after a long long time. In fact after more than a year. And no, he hasn't forgotten it. Even with one big fail and a few unintended slowdowns [b]akkord [/b]improved his previous time by many seconds. To be able to conquer a map like this you have to be confident and you gotta have nerves of steel just like him. Feed us more akkord !\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]

\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[u]\\r\\n[i][b]Look back, remembering legends[/b][/i][/u]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n[b]brian The movie[/b] by [flag]nl[/flag][b] raver[/b]\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]us[/flag] [b]brian[/b]... How to describe this living legend ? It's a hard task. This name is forever written in kz history and as long as XJ and KZ is alive, the name [b]brian [/b]is alive too. If you've seen one of his world records, you know that he's not an ordinary player. brian The movie is a reflection of the beauty of KZ and HL engine possibilities elegantly covered by [b]raver[/b]'s MM skills.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

[b]How I found love thanks to KZ â€” Part 1[/b]

\\r\\n\\r\\nEarly 2007, the year I was the most productive WR-speaking.\\r\\nWe were in March, I was ranking first in the World top5, less than 2 years after having started kz, things couldnâ€™t be any better for me, kz wise. [flag]se[/flag] [b]zhady[/b] had appeared from nowhere and started battling with me, but thatâ€™s another story you might hear about later.\\r\\n\\r\\nOne day, I was playing on a public server as usual, I even think it was [flag]us[/flag] [b]PhooGi[/b]â€™s one, or maybe [flag]us[/flag] [b]1337Bunnies[/b], I'm not sure. People were chitchatting as usual and speaking about a certain [flag]us[/flag] [b]Lola[/b].Â \\r\\n\\r\\nFrom my own experience, girls playing video games are either ugly, hide it and benefit from their sex status to be flattered, or are pretty, show it, and benefit from their sex status. And thereâ€™s a third category, rather rare, which includes girls pretending to be men in order not to be bothered.Â \\r\\n\\r\\nEvery time I happen to meet a girl playing video games, this is the first thing I wonder, I donâ€™t know about you guys?\\r\\n\\r\\n[flag]us[/flag] [b]Lola[/b] was not online that day, but this was the first time I heard about her.\\r\\nA few days later, here she was, expectedly at the center of all attentions. I kept playing quietly, but observing, improving my time every run I was starting and at the same time the serverâ€™s record. After the usual waves of [i]â€œgjâ€[/i], a [i]â€œWow how can you finish the map that fast? Teach me!â€-like[/i] came out of nowhere, and you guys already guessed who this was from :-)\\r\\n\\r\\nWe added each other on [i]Steam friends[/i], played a few times, I taught her strafing, bhopping and all the basis. And then we started chatting about anything, from the most general ones to personal things. We had a few webcam chats and I discovered how beautiful she was, I just couldnâ€™t believe how such a pretty girl could spend her time playing kz.\\r\\n\\r\\nThis process took a couple of month to materialize into an e-relationship.\\r\\n\\r\\nI was 17 years old, I already had some experience with girls (for what it was worth haha), but I never had experienced that kind of relationship before. The situation was a bit weird to be honest: I was spending all my free-time chatting with her, having phone calls, webcam sessions. As I was already spending way too many hours on the computer every day, it just made things worse and I locked myself into some kind of vicious circle, without even realizing it.\\r\\n\\r\\nI was not seeing my real-life friends as much as I used to, I didnâ€™t even went out of my bedroom, unless I needed to satisfy my bladder or that I was in an advanced starving state haha! But I just didnâ€™t care, I was (virtually, but [i]â€œwho cares?â€[/i], I was thinking) happy and proud to have a pretty girl as my â€œgirlfriendâ€.\\r\\n\\r\\nWe were around May 2007 at that point, and we kept maintaining our relationship that way: playing and doing World Records while she was offline due to time difference, and chatting when she was online. She was [flag]si[/flag] Slovenian, living close to [i]New York City[/i] for a few years and working as a BMW dealer manager.\\r\\n\\r\\nShe said she wanted a serious relationship, asking me not to go out with other girls, and said she was willing to do the same. I was only 17 but I wanted to act tough, mature, so I followed these principles. Who would I have gone out with anyway? I was spending my life in my bedroom, sitting in front of my computer.Â \\r\\n\\r\\nMonths passed, strengthening our virtual feelings for each other. My birthday then came closer, and I hopelessly asked my parents to take me a plane ticket to New York so I could visit her. Unexpectedly, they accepted. We booked the flight on the 15th of December 2007, the day after my 18th birthday.\\r\\n\\r\\nI was so excited, first of all to meet her for real, secondly because it wasnâ€™t the first time I was traveling far away, but because it was the first time I was traveling far away alone, and not wherever but to the famous New York City.\\r\\nI nevertheless celebrated my birthday with my family on the 14th evening, but I didnâ€™t care that much, all I was thinking about was the day after. I think I almost didnâ€™t sleep at all as my excitement was so strong. I spent some time in the bathroom during that night, getting ready for a particular moment I was looking for... I think I spent 1 hour shaving every hair I was noticing haha, I know that's plain stupid but I thought all the women didn't like hairy guys. I still woke up very early in the morning in order to go to the airport.\\r\\n\\r\\nThen came the check-in, the customs, the security check, and finally the boarding. I went into the plane, found my seat and just sat, ready for the departure, feeling a weird mix of excitement and exhaustion. [b]This was the day I had been waiting for 10 months[/b].\\r\\n\\r\\nAh and by the way, did I mention she was 25?\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

Rikker is already well-known and he always did a good job in my eyes although [b]m4kind [/b]is kind of a new face for me but it doesn't mean he can't take our breath away. On the contrary, I hope Ill have to use my asthma inhaler. Good Luck. Looking forward to see it !\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n

Addiction

[/b][/i]\\r\\n

\\r\\n\\r\\n[i]I thought PC addiction doesn't concern me but I was wrong and terribly wrong. It all started when I got my first "good" PC. I was fascinated how many possibilities suddenly opened up for me, internet, games, movies, what not. It was like a magnet. When I was going to sleep, I already prayed for the morning. There was a time when nothing except school and PC and occasional alcohol party existed. Kind of sad, huh ? Some could call me a non-lifer but I didn't feel like I was missing something. It was probably caused by the neighbourhood I was growing up in. Many of my good friends became drug addicted, they met bad people which caused serious troubles to them. And I was scared it also could happen to me, so PC and gaming was a "good" alternative for me. Even though PC started to feel kind of dull after some time, I was sitting in front of it every day and every night. Then I realised something gotta be changed. so I made a few rules for myself and it really worked. It was basically a schedule. 2 hours for gaming, 2 hours for school stuff etc and that's what probably prevented me from a serious PC addiction. There is a really thin line between fun and addiction. And not only for PC, but also for smoking, drugs, alcohol and so on.\\r\\nEven though I enjoy PC and everything around it very much, it doesn't control my life. At Least not more than any other person because let's be honest, hardly anybody can imagine his life without PC and internet, right ? And it's very important because if you let it to control you, it may have unimaginable consequences. You can lose your friends, your dignity, problems in school, at work. You also could become paranoid and unsocial, there is a good chance that you won't be able to talk to people in real life, it harms your health more than many of you think. So bottom the line, PC is fun but do not overdo it, and always set boundaries between gaming and real life[/i]\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n_________________________________________________________________________________________\\r\\n\\r\\ncredits : [flag]ru[/flag] [b]ShoCk[/b]\\r\\n","isOldNews","authorCountry","authorPicture",{"_73":74,"_75":107,"_76":74,"_77":74,"_78":74,"_79":74,"_80":74,"_81":74,"_82":74,"_83":74,"_84":74,"_85":74,"_86":74,"_87":74,"_88":74,"_89":74,"_90":74,"_91":74,"_92":74},"newsDate","01/08/2013 14:56","isNew","commentsNumber",38,"hasExtendedContent","category",{"_51":345,"_346":347,"_348":349},16,"name","Announcement","slug","announcement","user","colorTheme","chatDock",{"_355":-5,"_356":-5},"halloween","openOnArrival","size"]
