Does clearing that data remove the time spent playing each class as well? I kinda don't want to remove that.

No.
How hard is hosting a TF2 server for 2 people? Do certain ports have to be open?

I've hosted 2 person TF2 servers. YES, port 27015 needs to be open. Also, follow this tutorial, it all works perfectly, once you figure out what you're doing....

adding sourcemod and stuff is a bit tricky, but not hard to figure out over time and fast to do once you know how.


In other news, I recently picked up the sniper as a class I play. All of a sudden today I start getting 10-15 headshots in one life. It's so much fun to be finally able to aim and win sniper duels for a change.

I can't. Mostly it's latency, but I also twitch like a bastard, all the time. Sometimes I jump when I've the perfect shot lined up. Actually, that's all the time.

A large number of the shots seem to hit people in the throat though. Maybe I need to start compensating.

Jackrabbit, I've found that the best way to get headshots is to do a horizontal sweep that begins at head level and try to stop on their head. The beauty of this is if you overshoot with your cursor, you can still click on their heads en route. It's sort of all or nothing (few bodyshots) but it works nicely for me.

Does anybody have a good lefty key set-up? WADS is kinda awkward.

Is your mouse on the left side?

I'm not really a lefty, but I've always used the mouse with my left hand. Dunno why.

Anyway, what I have, and feel really comfortable with, is on numpad: 5 2 1 3 as WSAD, respectably, 0 for crouch, 6 for jump and some other misc keys around that.
You should have plenty space to allocate all.

Yeah, thus the problem. I'm more or less ambidextrous, but my right hand has to get angled weirdly to press the movement keys, and I can't reach the other keys at all. :-\

That would work, but I don't have a numpad. Standard laptop keyboard.

That's a downer then. I've got a wide 17.3 laptop, so mine has numpad.

I dunno then. Short of buying an external keyboard, it would be pretty hard to play.

You might be able to use something like IJKL; not quite as far to the right as the arrow keys, but it's still more convenient than trying to contort your right hand onto WASD. You'll have to remap everything, obviously, but at least you'll have easy access to at least as many keys as WASD provides.

Yeah, what Scout said. Surely the arrow keys are perfectly situated for a lefty?

I'll give it a shot, but I am so twitchy I can't pull off smooth movements with the mouse.

Maybe I'll mess with the sensitivity in offline mode and see what works.
