My new DSL modem has provided me the first true low-ping environment I've had since I left the warm confines of the AOL LAN, lo those many years ago. So I cranked up my Unreal Tournament 2004, went looking for some local servers, and jumped into a deathmatch to see if I still had my 1337 deathmatch 5ki11z5, yo.
I don't. I got my ass handed to me over and over and over again; it's a reminder that people are smarter than bots and are not easily tricked by a crafty double jump or two.
Clearly, I need to spend more time re-establishing my 5ki11z5. If I can do without having Krissy murder me, so much the better.
Also: The DSL is, like, sooooo much better than the satellite modem. There's just no comparison. And it's cheaper, too. We're truly living in an age of miracles.
