I'm thinking of getting a counter attack bind done for Fury.  
Every time I go on there, some sad little twonk has a key bound to 'vote
for urban3!', which they press repeatedly.  
Thank god for the 'ignore' bind.

My feelings exactly.  Its a major indication of their crap-ness that
they've managed to b0rk up every patch they've done since.
The way they bolloxed up the 1.52 patch by replacing old bugs with new
ones is really top notch arsery.

Yeah, g'wan then.
I know you gave me some URLs, but what actual files do I *need* if I
install H-L off the CD again from scatch?
