Clanmate Blasts Ass at CS Lanparty
Member of CS Clan Anal Exploders, SithDestroyer surprised his fellow clanmates by blasting ass in the middle of their LANparty in Buffalo, New York on Saturday. "Things were going well until Destroyer let one loose," said clan leader SaltyBallz. "I was so pissed, cs_siege was coming up!"

Boy Yells "Go go go!"; Frightens Mother
Homemaker Edna Thompson of ValleyView, CA was interrupted from an ice cold glass of lemonade when she heard her son Ryan, age 13, yell "go go go" from the other room. "He was playing some game and he sounded like some kind of constipated Macho Man Randy Savage," said the mother of three. "I was frightened to say the least."

Firearms Developer Done With Exams
Firearms team leader Caspar Milan Nielsen is done with exams -- but that's not all! "I am finally done with all my exams, and I'm now facing seven weeks of sunshine, alcohol, ladies, and of course Firearms. One kick ass combination," he said in a recent update to firearmsmod.com. He went on to say "Hell, I figured if I'm going to update, I need to be hip. And what's hipper than beer, busty babes and guns?" Team member Tobias Dedenroth was unavailable for comment but did ask "When comes candidate 2.1?"

'Bullets Cause Injury,' Study Says

The American Medical Association released a report today concerning the effects of bullets on human targets. The study, over 15 pages long, detailed the findings of over 60 years of research on the topic.

"We're glad we could find the answer to this question that has plagued the great minds of the world for so long: 'Do guns kill people, or do people kill people?' The answer was simple: neither. Bullets kill people," AMA director Jack Brody said.

"We pondered it for years," he commented, "wondering how a large metal object could leave such a small hole in the people it was used upon. We tried every possible way of fitting a gun into the hole it left after you pulled the trigger, but it was no use. We thought magic was involved, so we shot David Copperfield. That, unfortunately, didn't work too well."

Brody then recalled his revelation, "Then the new Counter-Strike beta came along, and as I got nailed to 54 health with a Scout from halfway across that cs_militia map, it dawned on me: bullets, not guns, caused injury. It was incredible. The entire AMA staff threw a huge party that night, and we all got drunk beyond belief."

New CS Soundtrack To Be Directed By Hanson

Pop band Hanson has announced its collaboration with the Counter-Strike team on a new CS-based soundtrack. "It's going to rock," Cliffe says. "Who wouldn't love those three cuties 'mmmboppin' a new tune while you're fragging someone?"

Cliffe stated that while music may interrupt the gaming experience, the new Hanson tunes are "undeniably good." He also said the new songs will definitely get a spotlight in CS by implementing the new "30-second-jam-session" at the beginning of each round via the extension of the "freezetime" variable. "You can buy weapons while groovin' to some mad tunes!" Cliffe shouted.

"..and when you hear these songs, you're just filled to the brim with love!" exclaimed beta tester keffo.

And in related news, the Virginia Regional Hosptial said that Cliffe's sex change operation went "remarkably well" and they "expect a full recovery."

100,000th Gooseman Interview Announced

Today Counter-Strike.de, the most visited CS site in the world, posted the 100,000th interview with Counter-Strike creator, Gooseman.

"I was chating n my irc," claimed site director [pater]creative, "And gooseman comed in, plus i asked him questions for interview for site,,"

"Ya, he asked the worst [expletive] questions! Jesus Christ, 'what do you make for cs?' I bake cookies, you stupid ass!" commented Gooseman. "Oh, and like I'd give out an exclusive on CS2 to some [expletive] German site...what a bunch of [---]holes.

"And no, I won't [expletive] fix the bugs, I'll let them sit there like I usually do, I mean what the [expletive] is with these freaks, do they run some message board where they all submit questions and just [expletive] ask me the same ones representing different sites? What's my name? JERRY [expletive] LEWIS! What the hell? Do they think my name's going to change every day like I'm some [expletive] convict on the run? What's my favorite [expletive] gun? My favorite [expletive] gun is the 10-foot-pole, WHICH I'M ABOUT TO SHOVE UP YOUR ASS IF YOU REPEAT ANOTHER QUESTION YOU BENDER LOVING [----]SUCKER!

"Oh and this one's classic, 'Why made u create CS?' If anything it wasn't MY INTEREST IN TERRORISM, LIKE I'VE SAID AT EVERY OTHER [expletive] SITE! And sure, I'll join your [expletive] German clan, ass."

When Gooseman was asked "when com version 1.0 CS?" he promptly took out his pistol and shot the interviewer twice at point blank range.

This interview set the record for the number of times "[expletive]" has been said in a CS interview, beating the classic "MTG vs. RzE" interview of Beta 2 fame. In related news, cs.de has also posted their 17th interview with cliffe, Counter-Strike's famed webmaster.


Overclocking Your Modem - CSNE Guide

With the new release of Valve's netcode, many people have been complaining that their lag on their favorite CS server has gone up, instead of down. Many people say that the game has been ruined for high-bandwidth users. And many people claim that they can't deal with the new "lag prediction." Well, the kind folks here at CSNE have whipped up a sexy overclocking guide for everyone unfortunate enough to experience the bad side of the new netcode. By using sophisticated diagrams, it'll guide you through the world of speeding up that weak connection to what it used to be. Check it out:

1. Test your power source to your computer by placing a penny, a knife, or any other large metal object into the plug outlet. One of the main causes of lag on the internet is the absence of a good power supply. If you receive a moderate shock or end up in the hospital after testing your outlet, then your modem is getting the optimum amount of power! If you haven't felt a thing yet, test all the outlets in your home until you find one that hurts the most. Plug your computer in there. Notice how the two guys in the picture are "getting jiggy" with the ceiling outlet for maximum power!

2. Often pinched wires are a source of lag. Like water through a garden hose, data must flow smoothly over your lines. Lag is usually caused by a kink in the wire, and data can get backed up behind it, causing an increase in latency. Find the bends in the wire and eliminate them with a pickaxe. Users have recorded a decrease in lag after straightening out their cable and phone lines! Click on the picture to see a detailed description of how to untangle your wires. See how the three-legged fireman and the orangutan are enjoying their fast data flow?

3. After a while, dust can slow your modem down tremendously. Ever notice how old people move slowly? That's because dust has settled on them and slowed them down! Now, in order to effectively clean your modem of any dust, you must turn your computer on and then proceed to wash your modem. Be sure to grab a hold of that case while you splash water over it. Scrub your modem in a circular motion. The cleaner it is, the faster it goes!

4. Ever notice that guy in the phone service van outside of your house, always inside that big green box? He's messing with your phone line by kinking it! Eliminate the middleman by using a .30-06 rifle and decrease that lag! Refer to the photograph for the correct target.

5. For modems, hotter is better. We here at CSNE suggest you insulate your computer and modem heavily with the most foam insulation possible. Your computer manufacturer left space in the case for padding, so be sure to fill it with as much as possible. Also, you can place an object to stop the fan running in the back of your computer case, increasing the amount of energy going to the modem. Modems rely on this heat to operate at full speed, just like an engine! Look at the diagram on the right to see how it's done.

We hope that those tips help you get the most out of that cable/DSL/56K modem!
