Me and Plarom survived for crazy long, just the two of us against the other four on Versus. We cut through that shit like fuckin Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin.

Hilariously enough, you managed to shove the witch to the corner on the way downstairs to the offices. :gonk:

Mo0 I know you have enough machine to play for real

what is this faggotry

A lot of us do.

But what Mo0 is trying to say is it's worth double dipping for playing with both groups of players.

Because Chaotic is a great shot, LeHah is a tricky son of a bitch, and Paco is the absolute worst anything I've ever seen. They're a good group to roll with.

Yes, but by definition everyone here (except for the macfags) already has a computer, whereas not all of us has a 360.

So the financial burden for us to join you is much heavier than the other way around. :(

And the PC version is like $20 cheaper on the Steam 4pack anyway so

I would love to see the merging of both player bases both for competition and sheer quantities of shittalk, but :(

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic with me. :(

Honestly, out of all my friends offline, including WagZ (who I believe goes by Enigma here on GFF), I'm the worst shot in the world. :gonk:

Plus, I am I the only faggot to ever lose control of a Tank and get his own team of infected killed by that very Tank?

:gonk: :gonk: :gonk:

Having a computer that runs the internet does not mean it can run L4D well.

If anything, its cheaper to buy a XBox 360 than an additional computer because theres some people who are still stuck in 1992 and waiting for TIE Fighter and Gex to come out.

GOOD LORD. Chaotic, you killed me on two different occasions as the tank, while I was a hunter and already had pounced on some unexpected folks! I'm the one who didn't expect the GIANT TANK ARM to appear out of no where and literally send my body flying off into the horizon. :tpg:

Ahaha, oh man, that still HAd to have been the most epic GFF L4D session ever played.
Oooohoho, hell YES. We were progressing masterfully. I don't even know how we made it as far as we did!

Well, there was some good shit you were doing when I was leaping about and basically getting popped by you right quick, even from weird angles.

Man, fuck you. I'd never played Versus before, much less actually tried my hand at playing as the Infected. But after enough practice, a 6-pack of Rogue Dead Guy Ale and three hours of non-stop shitttalk as a Hunter, I was jumping more honkies than a mass gang initiation.

Paco did fine. Versus is a bitch - I have to re-learn everything when I play it.

If anyone is down for more tonight, you know how to reach me.

Yeah, after the first time, I just didn't wanna risk losing control of the tank again. I don't remember who was saying it, but when I was randomly just swinging the GIANT TANK ARMS around, I remember someone yelling, "The tank just saved Paco!"

I was seriously thinking, "Fuck. What did I do this time? :gonk:"

Also - the part with the Tank wiping everyone out in the alley with the dumpster was *hysterical*.

Agreed.

Biggest "What the fuck?" Moment of the night.

Two people sent me friend requests last night. One of them was Scorccio (Chaotic) but I don't know who WagZ22 is.

I was kinda lit when I hit accept.

As mentioned earlier, he was one of my friends. He goes by Enigma over here on the boards, but never really posts.

I don't think I said anything about an "additional" computer, but let's test your theory just the same

A 20GB 360 is $250. We'll exclude the cost of your existing monitor, keyboard, speakers, internet connection and mouse and exclude the cost of your existing television for the comparison.

Western Digital 80GB HD: $34
ASRock Micro ATX Mobo: $50
AMD Athlon 64 X2: $45
Crucial 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400): $22
EVGA 512-P2-N430-LR GeForce 7200GS 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card: $38
Rosewill MicroATX case: $25

$214. :3:

Now, I don't know the exact hardware specs of a 360 so if this is a significant step down in performance I can try again. :)

LOGIC FAULT: Xbox Arcade + 152 Meg Memory Card = $140. http://www.consumerdepot.com/product...referer=google

Also - people who care about PC Gaming are stuck in the 1990s. Its a dead world that is kept afloat by the minimal RTS and MMP market. Remember when PC games were ported to consoles? Now its the other way around - you're outdated, Pang. Accept the fact the world has passed by your niche market.

No one cares about specs anymore because no one wants to bother putting it together. Everyone wants a magic box that works every time you turn it on and doesn't require worrying about if the newest games are going to run with optiminal, recommended or minimal requirements.

The problem is that for whatever reason the hard truth is that PC gaming *is* in a decline. No amount of console versus PC argument changes the fact that the market for PC games has been reduced significantly in the last five years - and that developers are increasingly shying away from PC projects because they've lost a lot of money on them. It's not just a harsh personal criticism -- it's just what's actually happening.

152 MB?

I would have a tough time finding an HD that small, yeah.

Next time don't waste my time with an economic comparison if you're just going to fall back on your quasi-religious belief that a platform everyone uses every day is "dead". If you're all just lazy tards who can't figure out how to plug A into B, go nuts, but don't pretend it has something to do with your wallet.

ATTENTION TOOLS: IF THE PC IS TOO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND, SPEAK UP

PANG WILL TEACH YOU

FIRST: HERE IS THE SHIFT KEY

HOLD IT DOWN ALL THE TIME

Additional Spam:
Whether or not "developers" are shying away is kind of a separate issue from whether Valve is shying away (which they obviously aren't). We're discussing the best platform on which to play L4D, I don't much care where Epic releases their work.

We are not going to fuck this thread up with a retarded circle jerk PC versus console fuckshit argument.

The reason I even put in a :( face in my second post above was to DETER THIS FROM HAPPENING.

The justification used on both sides gargles cocks. Let's just talk about Left 4 Dead, alright?

Sorry, I swapped 152. Its suppose to read 512, which is perfectly fine for storage if you're going to play L4D and make a profile and all that noise.

Hurr hurr hurr.

You're ignoring tons of dynamics of the market today. Certain games (MMOs, more complex simulations, some casual games) have a better chance of success on the PC. Other games (racing, sports, shooters, party games, adventure games) do better on consoles today. You can point to odd exceptions here and there - baselessly, at that, but the numbers are what they are. Looking at EA, which strongly supports as many platforms as possible, PC sales are down to about 15% the size of the console market. PC sales declined 20% last year, and the main three console game sales increased 50% compared to the prior year.

It's all pretty meaningless if you have an eight-core PC with four gigs of RAM and a graphics card that can push 12 jiggatexels/second, because what are you going to do with it in 2009? Run Flight Simulator X at a higher resolution? Run World of Warcraft or Sims 3 at a higher frame rate? PC gaming and console gaming really only has a small token area of overlap anymore. They're not mutually exclusive; I have a computer that cost me $2,500 four years ago thats still mid-level quality now with the 3.2 GHz processor and giant fucking video card that cost more than the PC I had before - but I (and most others) mainly just use them to post pictures to Facebook and update Chocojournal and use Photoshop. When I want to play a game, I'd much rather do it sitting on my couch in front of my 58" screen with giant stereo system and talking shit to Plarom and Paco while you and Sass and Dopefish play on Steam with... who? I mean, we had eight GFF people running on the same game yesterday - where were YOU three?

Long story short because of your internet attention span: every big budget game today is going to be a console game -- because consoles make up *so* much more of the market now than they did ten and twenty years ago. If you're going to spend $20 million on a video game in 2009 then it's a sure bet that it's either an MMO or a cross-platform title - and that its somehow the next Half-Life 2.

Everything you have is internet angst, Pang. Leave it to 1998 when we'd be impressed.

Whoops, sorry, was typing when you posted. I've said my bit. Done.

I was just responding to a hilariously false pretense of made-up expenses, Skills. I didn't ask Lei-Lei to bring his creepy-ass "a Dell scared my mother while she was pregnant with me" shit into this. I couldn't care less what system is "dominant", I was just demonstrating how the idea that a console is somehow a much cheaper solution to find a game of L4D is full of bullshit.

Did you just want me to paste the GFF Steam group into a post, or...? You can do ahead and labor under the notion that I'm playing against 7 bots every night if you really want to, man. Your church is totally better than my church.


The Wii is outselling both platforms, I guess we all need to go out and buy one if we don't want to be left in 1998

Fuck YEAH bots.

Also walls of text. Thanks to Daravon whining I now have the 360 version. He actually hunted down a copy for me. He kept trying to get me to get it since launch but I kept saying no because I'm a jackass. "FUCKING PLAY THIS GAME GOD DAMN IT" "LOL GEARS 2 ::trollface::"

So now I can play! However if LeHah sends me an invite I will decline it like the fist of the north star because that dude is some kind of ultra nigger and I cannot be seen with those types of people.

Just kiddin' playin Gears with LH was pretty lulzy so send me an invite if you ever see me about
