    Hope you boys had fun in the Evergreen State. I'm lucky enough to live only a couple of miles away from the Valve office. It's a hell of a cool place.

      i wanna know your ping too

      mrtannzr Very low. Somehow, in games like CS;GO I still manage to get upwards of 60 ping on some MM games, regardless of me being super close to the servers. TF2 ping is usually around 5-10 when playing on the Washington servers.

      maybe the csgo servers aren't at valve, or the servers you get in aren't hosted in washington

      Bleh I don't believe so. Just poor matchmaking. I'll ask my teammates where they are from and they'll tell me eastern US, or even Europe. I've got max ping set as low as possible so I can't figure out how it keeps matching me with people across the globe.

    I would just about pass out if I ever had that opportunity. When it comes to games I love Valve the most. Best introduction to PC gaming as a child with the first Half Life and Team Fortress Classic.
