… crazy as hell, but you gotta give it to him.

Former starter from the axxium counterstrike source roster, CJ “kdz” Eaves, signs a $250,000 deal with the Minnesota Wild a current NHL team.  CJ played with the axxium counterstrike source team over the summer for about a season and a half.  He was then moved into a backup role because of his hockey obligations.  CJ is known for his most notable play on several cal-p 1.6 teams and with axxium for a short time.  Now at age 18 CJ will be embarking on a new journey as part of the Minnesota Wild.  We from the axxium community wish CJ the best of luck and hope that he has a good, healthy, and long career as a professional hockey player.

With the current success the axxium counterstrike source team has been having, they have decided to attempt to attend Lacledes Lan in St. Louis, MO March 29th.  Wish us luck as this will be our first lan as a full team.  We will be preparing over the next 5 or 6 weeks and can hopefully bring home first place.  With teams like skull gaming and roxxorz gaming center attending it should be a pretty good first event.

Do late night scrims really take a toll on you at school or work the next day? Being a hardcore gamer has its benefits (like being able to walk into a bar and get any chick you want) but it can also be a tiring habit to get into. The Dumb Little Man webblog suggests some tips to keep you up when you’re feeling down. Worth checking out if you’re like me and you want to crawl under your desk during lunchtime for a nappy pooh.

Comcast has warned broadband Internet customers across the country to curb their downloading or wind up on the curb.

The company has a bandwidth limitation that, if broken, can result in a 12-month suspension of service. The problem, according to customer complaints, is that the telecom giant refuses to reveal how much downloading is too much.

The company, which a few years ago advertised the service as “unlimited” has an “acceptable use policy” which enforces the invisible download limit.

The 23-part policy, states that it is a breach of contract to generate “levels of traffic sufficient to impede others’ ability to send or retrieve information.” But nowhere does it detail what levels of traffic will impede others.

Michael, of Speedway, Ind., uses Comcast Internet to transfer large work files while his son uses it for school research. In 2004 he received letters threatening to disconnect his Internet if he doesn’t restrict his bandwidth.

“Unfortunately, neither the letter, the AUP, the Comcast websites, nor any printed Comcast materials specify what those bandwidth usage limitations are,” Michael wrote to ConsumerAffairs.Com. “Essentially, what they are doing is drawing an invisible line, then threatening to disconnect anyone who crosses it.

“I am more than willing to curb my usage to meet any limitations set by Comcast…if only they would actually make those limitations available to their subscribers,” he said.
