datagod commented on blog entry Logitech G Challenge Update - The Map! in TWIN GALAXIES
Many thanks to Logitech G. I am troubled by how the map is changing mid-challenge though -- even if it is to reduce cheating.

Back in the day (Battlefield 1942), I put a teeny tiny bit of masking tape on my monitor to help is such situations. I also had a second computer with eyes on the target area so I could practice launching the scud missile and memorizing trajectories.
