CS:GO – A Game Where Visuals Outweigh Experience

The trial version of CS:GO has been out for a while, but I never got around to downloading it. Usually, I just close the ads that Steam aggressively pushes. Today, on a whim, I clicked on one and found out that CS:GO is officially launching tomorrow.

At this moment before the official release, Valve has generously offered a 50% pre-order discount, with an additional 10% off, effectively reducing the original price of $30 to $13.49 (¥84.x). Such a great deal couldn’t be missed, so I immediately added it to my cart and paid via Alipay.

Planted Flowers May Not Bloom

Planted flowers may not bloom, but willows planted without intent may flourish. I thought there was no hope at all, but unexpectedly, I ranked first among 17 candidates:

Originally, I just took the exam casually, to test the waters. My real plan was to first pass the damn judicial exam, then take the court exams in second and third-tier cities in the Pearl River Delta, and then find a way to transfer to a first-tier city.

After a long time, the HSPA+ network signal finally appeared. The speed boost to 21Mbps is indeed noticeable, with video buffering being incredibly fast, instantly consuming over 10MB of data.

Who the hell came up with this brain-dead design of putting a sleep button right above the Esc key? They should be dragged out and chopped!!! I’m being tortured beyond belief.

Adding Another Chapter to the Journey of Life's Failures

Today, as soon as I walked out of the civil service exam hall, I felt like I had failed again. Upon carefully summarizing the reasons for this exam failure, I realized that history is eerily similar.

I always feel like these years of taking various exams have been a continuous tragedy, but I can’t quite figure out why.

The first college entrance exam (yes, I repeated a year later), the essay topic was “Discussing Spirit.” I ended up adapting a satirical article from a 2006 issue of “Microcomputer” (or maybe “Computer Enthusiast,” I can’t remember) about why a 40GB hard drive shows up as 37.2GB in the system. I definitely remember regretting it as I wrote, and I clearly remember that before writing this essay, I had started another piece, only to find myself unable to continue after a few hundred words, so I scribbled it out and wrote this one instead. This topic also filled me with regret as I wrote, and as a result, I only scored 101 in Chinese that year, just a few points shy of the undergraduate cutoff.

Counter-Strike Weapons and Combat Techniques

Killing and being killed are realities every CSeR must face, and good weapons along with essential skills are the guarantees for survival.

Weapon Overview

In my CS dictionary, there are no terms like pistols, rifles, or submachine guns. Instead, weapons are categorized into close-combat weapons, assault weapons, and long-range weapons. Here, I recommend some weapons I consider to be the best.
