Host Lag on MW2.
MW2. Clutch bomb defuse, takes 6 seconds to fully defuse the bomb. I got in there with 6.2 seconds to go. About to win the game... lag strikes... bomb timer starts flipping out, I know there's 3 seconds on the clock but the timer keeps bouncing between 3.1s and 3.9s, I held the key down for about 30 seconds before the game came back and it killed my defuse
Game over man, game over.

There was this one time I was playing CS-Source. I was camped and I got a bead on this nasty terrorist - I had him lined up in my sights. I clicked fire and knowing how bad the lag was I could probably get something to eat while I waited for my dude to actually fire the shot off. It was August 2004.
I went into the kitchen to make myself a sandwich but there wasn't anything in the fridge so I decided to go out for something to eat. I went to The Ivy as I felt a little bit flush. Really, there Shepherds Pie is excellent. I met a friend of mine who works for Channel 4 and we had a bottle of wine, and then another. It got quite late so we decided we had better make a move. I knew a rather louche drinking den in Soho so we went there for cocktails.
I was amazed to find Shane Ritchie at the bar surrounded by an array of women. He spotted me and yelled out "Spudbynight, get over here, it's your round". I couldn't stand Ritchie, he was always too much of a cheeky chappy for me - not my sort at all. I turned around and left quickly. In doing so, I must have dropped my favorite gold fountain pen (with eagles on him) as when I got into a taxi I didn't have it on me. I went back and my fountain pen and Ritchie were gone.
It was September 2011 before I caught up with Ritchie again. He had been avoiding me for some time. I finally tracked him down to that same spot in Soho. He was at the bar drinking alone, his friends had long since deserted me. I walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. At the sight of me all the blood left his face. He knew I wanted my pen back. "sp-sp-spud" he blurted out. I grabbed his lapels and picked him up. "Where is my pen you oik?" I bellowed. He looked at me with the most forlorn expression on his face and mumbled the words "I lost it playing cards a few years ago, I don't know where it is now". I knew at that moment my gold fountain pen (with eagles on him) was gone for good. I turned and left the bar.
I made my way home to Hove on the train. My head hung low with the ill news I had received. When I finally arrived home it was close to midnight. I sat down at my PC to see that my dude had finally fired his shot off. The site of a clean headshot cheered me a little but couldn't totally sooth my loss.
That was the worst lag I ever experienced. If I had a Bigfoot Killer 2100 NIC I might still have my gold fountain pen. I have a silver one, help me to hold on to that.

if anyones interested heres a review of the bigfoot killer 2100
in summary, you'll get:
- far better connection while downloading stuff in the background (onboard was physically unplayable, killer 2100 allowed for a decent game
- ~3ms drop in ping in some games
- very small FPS gain in some games
however, you will also get far worse performance if you are transferring many small files as the cards onboard processor simply couldnt handle being bombarded by thousands of smaller files

It took me 10 minutes to load/write/post this post....
Then i thought i posted, double checked and noticed it hadnt made it...
So it has now taken me 20 minutes to load/write/post/load/check/write/post this post
But i thought id go 1 step further! Whilst double checking what i had written i thought it would be best to upload a picture worth (in my opinion) MORE than a 1000 words...
It didnt upload....
Just imagine my gameplay...
Edited, my post did make it, it just took the time to write this post to see if it had loaded...

Only recently re started playing CSS, which i wasnt too bad at a few years ago, new system , what could be difficult from picking up from a few years ago. Now i know my gaming system can handle CSS on high without any strain however the only downside is my lag
the amount of times i have taken cover and stopped, thinking i willj ump out and suprise them, only to find out the lag spike meant i was actually shot and few seconds later my body is lying on the floor. Bad times.
So the Killer 2100 would allow me to re-capture past gaming memories without me bitting my keyboard in two.
plus i have a spare slot on my mobo that needs filling aswel

So here i was playing a round of Call of Duty: World at War... running and saw an enemy in a building so here i go like Rambo running at 50mph, pull out my Sticky Grenade and throw it in the doorway ...only then for a wall to suddenly just appear and my sticky grenade bounces back and boom.....No more Rambo.
I think i would benefit from a Killer Nic because i play allot of Gamers First games such as warrock etc which supports the Killer Nic,and because i consider myself to be an Enthusiast (on a tight budget lol) im always trying to squeeze as much performance out of my system as i can so with a Killer nic i could offload the network duties from my CPU and have the killer do it for me.!

Back when MW2 had only recently came out , used to play it a lot finally set up a decent killstreak for my first ever nuke, was playing on highrise and was playing it fairly safe and was on 23 kills (without hardline) i was inside the buildings and saw a sniper, went up to knife him, successfully got the kill only to be greeted with a few seconds of lag right after , i would have got annoyed with a disconnect, but i came back alive and happy and within a milisecond of the being back i was greeted with a sniper bullet to the face, i don't think I've ever raged harder . I think for the rest of my MW2 time i mainly used hardline just incase that scenario happened again 
I think i'd benefit from the Killer Nic card because all i do on my computer is play games, and 99.9% of those are online, so using the card will give me a competitive edge (and if i had it i might well of just got that damn nuke) As well as the fact I'd love to have a optimized network for Battlefield 3, as i plan to play that for more hours than is probably healthy

The moment i was about to attack i lagged out..... Now in most games a bit of lag isn't too much of an issue, but if you lag out over an extended time period in supcom your commander blows up and you're kicked from the game....
Of course my commander is off helping another team mate, i time out, commander blows up half his base (the commander explosions are basically a nuclear bomb) when i die, and my base disapears entirely with all my AC-1000s dropping out of the sky in heaps of metal We lose. i cry, team mate crys, we all stick to playing pacman instead.
I don't think i even need to explain why i could do with that network card, the story tells itself. I should also mention that my 2mb download internet connection really needs all the help it can get, that connection is then shared with 2 other people and a piece of junk BT vision box.

Worst lag I've suffered was in crysis, where I could run round a corner away from enemy fire, enter the prototype factory, and then die from the original enemy fire.
This network adapter would keep one of my PCIe slots dust free.

when playing BC2, I often find myself singing the desert rose bands 'one step forward';
"One step forward and two step back. Nobody gets too far like that...."
which just makes me want to play san andreas again, (which played fine on my old dell dual core/ nV 8500gt machine,) therefore rendering my DX11 monolith 6950 completely overkill
