Poor face :(

Were you in chat last night?

Are... are you even awake at the time for GFF game night?

GFF game night is on American time, which means I'm at work :(

On that one occasion, I could have been!

Worst part is, I might have noticed but the Steam downtime prompted me to go to bed earlier than I intended. Damn.

Sad part is, we only needed one more for 8 players. Instead we got some random. Confondido... what an asshole.

Sad. Well, remember me for next time, whenever that may be.

Out of curiosity, who were the Fabulous Seven?

Helloween, Garr, Rasputin, Diss, Hyde, myself, and my roommate. Term was with us for a game or two as well, but seemed to have some internet connection problems.

ahahahhaha CONFUNDIDO!?

I feel increasingly bad about the Euro/Asia folks that can't make it because it's 5 AM what the fuck. You guys should get your own deal going. Game Night Auxiliary. Play only complex, execution-heavy console games.

Term stop living inside of a tornado :mad:

Yeah, Hidden was great up until RANDOMS, as always. Can't complain about lag much since WhoDunIt didn't really grab me anyway, partly because the maps were big enough to support the entire surviving Doom mod community and partly because piling so much stuff on top of Doom's elderly framework makes things glitchy as hell.

Still think we need to try The Ship sometime, which is the same basic WHO IS TRYING TO MURDER ME idea but without having to remap 50 keys.

As far as next week I know the idea of booting up ZunTzu is going to make some people groan, but: Forbidden Island? It's a cooperative class-based game like Pandemic, and that seemed like it went over well. Rules are here, game file is here. Unless it stops being there because ZunTzu is terrible at link curating, in which case just yell and I'll throw it up on Saxy or something.

Dunno how long it runs; if we escape the Forbidden Island early we can be introduced to gentlemen of the Alps whom we have not heretofore met, or perhaps enjoy refreshing ice cream cones.

My issue with Hidden is that it gets sort of boring watching Garr and Hawkeye trade the role back and forth for hours. It's called the Hidden 'cause that's the really fun part of the game; they originally called the mod Bumbling Squad of Stupid Marines but it wasn't well received. I wish that it would choose the hidden like Whodunit chooses the murderer.

Based on the one server we were on last night, I'm pretty sure the hidden is chosen based on damage dealt. The percentage of the total damage you do to the hidden is your percentage change of becoming the hidden. So if 120 damage was done to the hidden and you did 60 damage, you have a 50% chance. Then on the start of the next round, the game does :math: and picks its hidden based on those odds.

It looks like the same player will stay the hidden if no damage is done to them.

As far as next week goes, I am down with some virtual board gaming. Forbidden Island, assuming people learn the game early, shouldn't take too long to play. But knowing our group of people, it won't matter as we'll find a way to thwart Pang's plans and make game night last forever on turn 1.

I love coming into games without having made any attempt to previously learn the rules or mechanics! Count me in!

i've played forbidden island a few times, and it takes about 45 minutes to play, though you'll have to tack on 15-30 minutes for ZunTsu and the obligatory 15 for game night. game is max 4 players, though, so there's that. (Alternatively, i'm sure Helloween would love to teach you guys Arkham Horror, which is also co-op but waaay more complicated)

Hidden can have a random selection for the hidden, just no servers use it. I thought when Acer set up his server we had it on random, though i might be remembering wrong.

Acer did not have it set to random. I didn't know a random feature existed until last night when it was mentioned.

I have my older computer here that isn't being used for anything, and I would be happy to try setting it up to run as a host server for game night stuff if it's desired. It's a few years old but it's still like a 3GHz with 4GB or something like that so I think it would probably be pretty all right in a hosting capacity.

Then I would make myself invincible in response to TKs! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHAHAAH

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHH

I've definitely seen a random Hidden pick on some servers, Acer just couldn't figure out most of the server settings (which is no slam on Acer, shit is poorly/not-at-all documented and the man has animes to attend to).

Aw, dang, you're right. Well, we can just break into two groups or whatever I guess, hasn't killed anyone yet.

From what I hear Arkham Horror takes like 4 hours even when you already know how to play, so for Game Night maybe we can set aside the entire month of October for that. I would very much like to give Chaos In The Old World a spin as well, so I hope everyone will be free for the entirety of winter '13-'14.

I think the streaming is fun, we can redistribute game/Skype hosting easily enough so you can keep doing that.

Whodunit is fun in concept, I think the maps we're playing are just too large for the number of participants we have.

I'm a few days late, but I thought Hidden was fun and all at first, but then I only got to be the Hidden a few times out of the 40~ or so rounds we played. I'm not sure I even touched the Hidden during the last hour of play, so it was kind of dull after a bit.

I'd love to play Arkham Horror, I've played a bit before and maybe we should consider doing some independent research to learn the rules a bit before jumping right in. It's fun but takes some time to really grasp I think.

You.... you clearly have no idea who you're dealing with. It is a rare night when we all show up knowing what we're supposed to play.

Like, seriously? Arkham Horror? My all time favourite game (sort of, a little bit, it's complicated). I guess i'll have to show up.

I WANT TO DO THIS

Beginning to think we can't take Diss anywhere without him picking fights with guys on the street he thinks are looking at him funny.

Look, man, I think we can all agree gogo's judging was pretty awful.

Gentlemen, next Tuesday is rapidly approaching and no one has suggested anything. It is high time we get Serious.

I can finally participate again thank christ.

just need to find my mic and where I packed that.

Oh, don't go out of your way on our behalf.

look motherfucker

I have too many boxes of shit around here.

I have too much crap in general.

I have no idea which box is the mic, since all the organization got ruined thanks to the carpet situation and the fire thing and LOOK SUCK A DICK

I'm in.

Speaking of terrifying rattling sounds and the ghostly moans of the damned, October's almost upon us so let's share some ideas for appropriately spooky games.

I've been meaning to get round to Killing Floor for a long while and it's a fair bet they'll do a Halloween event of some kind. Cry of Fear is a free Source mod with an appropriately wonky and stupid multiplayer campaign. Not a lot of other multiplayer horror games out there as far as I know. L4D2, I suppose, though it would be better to get some custom campaigns... or maybe Valve will do something for L4D2 for Halloween as well.

Actually I think I remember trying a "Haunted Mansion" campaign for L4D2 that might be perfect.

Arkham Horror's available for Vassal, so assuming Vassal's fairly simply to set up that's definitely a go. Also on Vassal is Betrayal at House on the Hill, which is a board-builder/find-the-traitor game.

Might be able to put Fury of Dracula together for Roll20.

Then there's also a zombie book for Action Castle, and I could potentially run a night of the White Wolf Vampire RPG but I don't know if there's any interest in that and you'd all just roll Malkavian anyway.

Total pie in the sky I would love to do the old Nightmare VCR board game but that would require hunting down a lot of scans and somebody would need to stream the video so we'd be roughly in sync. Still, plenty of time to set that up before the 29th if there's interest.

In before we end up just playing Cards Against Humanity while I micspam Monster Mash

YES ZOMBIE ACTION CASTLE

Seriously those freaking walls. I got tripped up by them not being walls sometimes. I'm looking for a door and it's THERE but I just don't see it. I see a wall! Why is that?! Oh you're not a wall! You're an opening that looks mysteriously like a wall sometimes because you're not a wall? How can this be? I must conclude that you are not a wall but your wallish disguise is most genuine. Like some sort of wall assassin. A door ninja. A hallway hitman. A gateway spy.

"Is Acer STILL looking for the door?" "Seriously guys! There are nothing but wal-oh hey, this wall isn't a wall after all! There is a door here!"

I am down for finishing the campaign next week. I need to do so for glorious achievement epeen.

I miss you guys. :(

Hey guys. I found a thing. Double Action: Boogaloo mod for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch - Mod DB

That actually looks pretty similar to the OperaMod from Half Life. Amazingly I can't even seem to find a clip of it anywhere on the internet. It focused on 1v1 battles where you did more damage depending on how stylistic you were while shooting. It also had specially programmed cape physics. Was so badass at the time.

Edit: It did exist! http://web.archive.org/web/200607092...eemedsoft.com/

Edit edit: Man, it was first released in 2002. Somehow that makes me feel more old than most games I used to play that are way older.

Edit^3: Looks like some of the guys behind that one you linked were the guys that made Action Half Life, one of my favorite uncommon mods for HL! http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/11/do...ble-pre-alpha/

That's pretty funny. First thing I thought was that it reminded me of The Specialists, another HL mod. Guess there were a lot of those back then in the wake of The Matrix.

Apparently The Specialists was also made by the guys that did AHL. I had never heard of it prior to all my googling last night, but it seemed to be described as a much better version of the Opera Mod.

It all comes together. :p

Good Game Night, killed Term.

Does anybody actually want to spend money on Daikatana because much as I am lured by the prospect of horror I also would sort of rather spend my money on literally anything else

I would prefer that my friends not be able to see that I purchased that.

Well I could purchase a bunch and then gift them.

Or does that show up on the feed too?

That was mostly a joke, I just don't think it will ever be worth seven dollars.

You don't think it's worth making Skills waste seven dollars of his own money?

Every dollar that Skills spends on Daikatana is a dollar not spent on an Atari Jaguar. :argh:

SO, ARKHAM HORROR.

Click here! for Vassal, then here for the game. I figure you probably want Base Game and Base Game decks.

Hopefully someone who knows how to play will show up! All right!

I have no idea how to play, hopefully that is GOOD ENOUGH

I will be free Tuesday night, so barring anything crazy i plan to be present. Impressed that we're actually considering playing this, but if i can teach a bunch of easily distracted high school students how to play the game in an afternoon, you guys shouldn't be too much tougher to handle.

I want to descent into madness. Count me in.

I've pretty much got this program figured out, so that's good. Oddly, DRM for this setup is apparently "no card text on basic items so you have to own the game." So it's a good thing i have a copy.

GFF Lost in Time and Space night

They've got hippos!

Well i certainly had a lot of fun, a night complete with all of the wonderfulness one would expect from GFF game night playing board games on a new platform (don't stack anything, ever (also why am i drawing cards from the bottom of the deck)). Now that most of you know how to play, the game would probably go a lot faster should we ever feel so inclined to play again in two years when everyone has forgotten this particular episode.

There is a heavy lack of meeping in your story and for this I am saddened. I think you need to go wander around the woods for awhile.

Why would he wander about the woods when he could instead stand in the city streets just outside the woods and gaze hungrily in anticipation of all the clues that must surely await him within?

Oops, ignore this!

Erik what are you doing. Erik stop.

Serious Review Time: I actually liked Arkham Horror quite a bit and wouldn't be at all averse to trying it again some time now that we (mostly?) understand how to play. Definitely not, like, this year, but some time.

Given the hype around this game I expected descending into madness! to be a little more involved than what turned out to be a glorified MP meter. It seems if you're going to make something complicated it should be that rather than a monster movement system evidently dependent on the phases of the moon, but oh well.

Swamp Monster Fiasco also obtained.

Next week suggestions: AVP Classic or Betrayal At House On The Hill (Grab 1.1b)?

On April 6, 2012 a very special GFF Game Night occurred. After an unsuccessful train investigation something amazing happens. A robot DJ chocolateer, a chimney sweep, a canary wizard, and the time-traveling ghost of Queen Victoria reincarnated as a wandering warrior or something go on a quest to terrorize the town and challenge the agents of chaos.

Join Pang, Rychord, Colonel Skills, Stop Sign, and myself as we play some very silly games: Orient Express & Legend of Anglerre. Diss reminded me of this night and asked me to look up my archive. It is for you to enjoy now.

YouTube Video

Legends of Anglerre starts at around 1 hour 19 minutes and 18 seconds into it if you'd like to skip to that.

After game posts:
http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/pa...tml#post796578

It is still the greatest tragedy in GFF Game Night history that COUPLERS is the one video that got mangled. Even just the audio from that incident would be perfect.

Oh, I have the audio. Nothing wrong with it. The video is just a slideshow is all.

What the hell I'll upload it. The humor still manages to get through for the most part:

YouTube Video

WHEN DID THIS TREACHERY H A P P E N QUESTION MARK

Laughing so hard. I was still so new to game night, just doin' my job and utterly oblivious to the coupler issue. It's kind of a shame we didn't have skype up then, but it that plan wouldn't have worked if it had been, so. The only thing missing from the video is Pang and Skills' pile of pilfered couplers.

wait

where are you going

*click*

Yeah, Skype was intentionally left off that night expressly because Microsoft Sam inherently makes everything much funnier than our actual voices would be exclamation point

CHz's laziness and my self-loathing have resulted in my doing a thing

That game was really fun. As pretty much everyone observed, the level design is consistently excellent and all the stages have their own interesting subtleties. The attention to detail is really impressive - when someone is getting close (5 to go, or so?) to the score limit the stage music (yes, each stage plays the appropriate music!) changes to the boss music. This is also appropriate to the stage - in Quick Man's stage the MM2 boss music plays, for example. Really polished, really fun. Would defs play for game night.

For lack of compelling Thanksgiving games out there I am gonna go ahead and declare Robot Month for November, so that'll work out fine.

But Thanksgiving is in October...

Unfortunately Game Night holiday policy was decided some time ago and the meeting to decide on adjustment of policy is scheduled for Boxing Day, which, due to policy, we are unable to recognize.

A BOX

INSIDE A BOX

A SENTIENT BOX

THAT WISHES IT WERE NOT A BOX

THAT IS ACTUALLY A CRATE

(then Deni ragequits)

Gentlemen, it might not be in keeping with our Halloween theme, but I feel as though we have little choice next week other than to play Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box.

I don't even remember buying that, but apparently it happened at one point or another.

It may have been inside another box.

I'm sure that is exactly what happened. Sometimes you can only open so many nested boxes before you're forced to just throw up your hands and leave some boxed still.

holy shit that game rules yes let's play that.

Perhaps a humble box, containing a bundle.

My first thought was that i didn't want to spend $20 for a game i already own so i could play it for game night. Almost caved and bought the game (because it's awesome), then realized i'm working next Tuesday anyway. :(

A bundle is merely a sort of soft, lumpy box.

Alright, I'm actually gonna be there this week (as in in a few hours). Burnout sounds fun. Never played it. Going in blind.

Man, dealing with Term when you've slept 2 hours in the last 40 is basically like a fever dream.

Next week, Spooktastic Adventure Castle / Fiasco.

power parking

*shudder*

Lmao that was a riot. I'm still back home on leave for a bit so I had to keep the noise down while people slept. Still, good times to finally be able to play vidya with everyone again.

Also I wouldn't feel too bad about the parking thing, we had a time and a half with some of the latter challenges on the circlebox. It's all in good fun.

Power parking took me forever to get down when I was learning Burnout. I have it down now only because I had to keep practicing it.

That was a lot of fun. Lets make note to play that again. I still have lots of challenges to do!

That means I should probably play offline a bit to unlock some cars that don't such huh.

Also where is the patch that allows me to put Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" on loop permanently EA pls

If we're officially dog-earing this game as a "backup plan game" (along with the dozen or so we already have), i'll make sure to watch for it to go on sale. If it doesn't, i'll probably just get it anyway, but hey, i wouldn't be a good mennonite if i didn't at least try.

Also angry that i missed the one time when Tails was around.

Fuck that game

Fiasco is played with Skills and Shade: Wacky Arctic Stripper Adventure

Fiasco is played with Rasputin and Diss: The Films of Lars Von Trier

Next Week: that Megaman Deathmatch business?

v A beaver dam place is basically a large, complex box

Did you know that a single beaver can move 10 times its body weight per day? I didn't. Find out more about beavers and the places they build!

YouTube Video

Is there a recording of this Fiasco somewhere?

If CHz noticed all the furious clicking, then SOMEONE was streaming.

And history has vindicated my assumption that these streams leave a record of some kind even though both streamers deny it whenever I ask.

But if you do get to watch it, remove all sharp objects from your vicinity once Erik decides to elucidate all the things that be ruined in a mortal life

I was a bit late to the party and started on my laptop which I don't like streaming from. So yeah I didn't stream last night. Garr did though. He said last night in chat that he might get the recording for us.

Eternally denied my one true desire for Instagib Hard Fisting

Next week: No More Room In Hell! Because zombies are kind of like fleshy meat robots, and also because Erik does not own Unreal Tournament*.

*Erik is a terrible person.

Believe it.

Hey Game Night Superfriends, Skills and I have been discussing getting some more Mega Man in on Friday. If we drum up enough interest we could try some other game modes like Team CTF and Team DM, which sound pretty fun. I'm also going to look into whether I have the ability to manually set weapon spawns so that Pang's Hardfist Emporium can become a reality.

I've checked out MM8BDM in the past and it was a Windows-only thing because of that custom launcher and stuff, but this time I actually spent more than five seconds on the internet and I found a guy who's maintaining unofficial Mac builds and there's one for the latest version.

So maybe I will bring my snakehole on Friday?????

I have tomorrow off, so after I drag my car to the GET THIS SHIT FIXED lot then YES furious metal blade noises

I AM PREPARED TO IGNITE ALL OF YOUR MELTY ZONES

That's cute, Skills got a screenshot of the game where he had the most frags!

I'm sorry, are you whining because you had a 2.5x man advantage and still couldn't do anything of value, and lost to CHz?

I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but you ain't one.

I'm not sure destroying a happless Pang/Hawkeye duo over and over is something anyone legitimately good would brag about.

I wanted to find some hilarious cartoon gif to link in here, but after googling "man beating up children" I'm too depressed to even keep going. You win.

So what's on for next week anyway?

I'm fine for more of this but I wouldn't be against a revisit to Paradise City.

oh shit nevermind it's zombies

By the end of it all i wasn't doing too badly, it just took a long time for me to figure out how to aim. So long as we stayed on one-shot-kill mode, anyway.

Also, some of those tiny CTF maps in insta-kill mode were hilarious. Needed more people to make things more impossible, though.

Oh man y'all finally got CTF to work? How long did that take and why didn't it work the first time? :mad:

There appears to be some disagreement between the custom launcher .exe and the Zandronum .exe in terms of propagating rules changes to the server. It was trying to enable CTF without enabling CTF maps, which was what was causing that error. I had to go in and manually exclude all the normal DM maps, and it worked after that.

Well fuck man why couldn't you have figured that out earlier. :(

Man I was as optimistic about the potential of CTF as anybody but in practice it amounts to Walk A Long Way And Then Garr Sees You.

Instant Respawn on CTF is just the worst. The Worst.

On regular DM maps I can force a respawn as far away as possible from where you died, but that would obviously be silly on a CTF map. I'll look into forced respawn delay.

There's also a king of the hill mode that we didn't try out.

Only if the hill is on the boat.

ahahahaha that avatar

Where was that boat game where my score was like -5 because I kept trying to teach Bad Box Art Mega Man how to swim.

Maybe he'd be better at it if he'd put down that gun and use both hands. :(

Boat is around 1:30

Only after watching Garr's video do i realize that other people had aiming reticules. It never even occurred to me to look for an option for such a thing. :(

Ahaha I actually had mine off, too. Every time I open that game I have to re-do all my settings (which is super annoying) and I always seem to forget to turn that on.

Mine was on, I just ignored it because I can't videogame for shit.

I hopped off shortly before everyone else jumped on. It was great fun and I look forward to more of it. So much cat.

Hey look, when you consider how hard it is to kill people with that stupid fucking axe weapon I'd say it was worth it.

So judging by the total absence of any ZOMBIE HYPE I'm guessing NMRIH was something less than a hit with everybody?

(Sorry I couldn't make it, staying awake was just not a thing that could happen.)

The reactions in the stream ranged from "it was OK" to "I would rather be redeployed to the Middle East than play this shit a second time."

Additional Spam:
Then afterward they switched to more Burnout Paradise, where the reactions ranged from "WHY ACER" to "ACER WHY."

It was alright for like the first thirty minutes and then it turned into a game of "Who can dick around the longest until the zombies overrun us".

Mad y'all waited until I went to sleep to play Burnout, fucks.

The concepts in Zombies is pretty solid. The implementation really really fuckin' isn't.

Disappointing. I had such high hopes when I saw one the player models was basically Walter Sobchak. Oh well.

Anybody object to some UT '99 next week? You can bring your Megaman custom model if it makes you feel more comfortable.

There's plenty of addons for Firefox (and I would assume also Chrome if that's your deal) that'll be happy to grab any old video on a page and download it. Fuckin' weird that Twitch wouldn't have an internal solution for that but if they're removed the feature to make shit permanent it might be advisable to download ANYTHING you'd like to still exist next week because that is an eyebrow-raising UI decision.

As an alternative to UT'99, if you're down for it.

That Chivalry expansion with the spartans and the ninjas and the vikings and the pirates and the samurai comes out like

today

We could all buy that. There are 20% off coupons for GMG so you can get it for 12 dollars.

Head chopping now with ninjas sounds pretty excellent I can't lie

By the way I won't be around tonight, got things to do~

Oh hey the Steam version of UT99 uses an outdated patch iteration so:

UTPG :: Working To Keep Unreal Tournament Alive!

Grab the 451b patch? That would be super good of you.

Thanks for the game, guys, I really had an awesome time. As you may have noticed it was quite late for me (I left around 5:30 AM) but worth every minute.

I still have no idea who GIMME_A_FUCKING_NAME was, by the way. :(

That would be diss, Face. You played a fantastic game.

Also shade you were wrong. I did not win the snow level. Face came in first, Garr in second, and then me in third.

But for you that was like winning!

Oh sure, I managed to get a double kill, go on a killing spree, and see pretty pretty snow falling all in the same round. A winner was me. But for real I am just awful at most fps games*.

So what's on for this week.

Pretty sure it's that Chivalry With Samurai Awkwardly Crammed In

I know i've been absent from Game Night for several weeks now, and unfortunately i won't be around tonight either. I'm going to make it a point to be available for next week, though.

Sounds like a fun time to play with Fellow GFF members, I'll try and find time to get on and play around. Should be a hoot.

Hahah, sorry these past two weeks have been super shitty for me with us trying to prepare for the holidays down here. This week I should be around.

So since Deadliest Warrior didn't happen, is that next week's plan or whats

Divekick was $2.50 there for a bit, it might go down to the same price at some point during the fall sale here. But yes, that game is hilarious and awesome.

Nice selection of games, especially for those who might not own any of those games already. There's a couple in there that would be fun to play for game night.

Yeah, definitely pick that up for Garry's Mod if you don't have it. I've seen some amazing games for that lately, including a take on WhoDunIt where the maps aren't all gigantic sprawling labyrinths.

HOW IS BIOSHOCK INFINITE, SKILLS? IS IT PRETTY GOOD? I HEARD IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD GAME.

NOT NAMING NAMES

Garrmondo - GFF Improv Game Night: Left 4 Dead 2 - Twitch

spike229/Acer/Diss/Garr vs. Pang/Hyde/shade/Term

This match lasted 32 seconds after leaving the safe zone. Garr led Pang to the edge of the dock to fall off on his own accord, Acer barreled shade off with the charger moments later, and then Garr grabbed Hyde and suicidekilled both of them.

This has got to be one of the best L4D matches ever played.

In my defense, from my perspective I was still jockeyed when I went in the drink. Probably. Maybe.

New computer!

STEAM SOMETIMES ONLY LETS YOU DOWNLOAD AT 2MB/S. I can not help this!

PS I can tell I'm in for a bad time when it's checkpoint saves only, ugh.

Since nearly everyone has purchased the humble bundle (and if you haven't, you're a terrible person), then I propose that if we have more than 6 players, we play Natural Selection 2, and if we have less, we play Garry's mod.

For reasons unknown to him, Pang wakes up suddenly, weeping with joy.

i picked up the bundle, but i've already got Natural Selection 2, so if anyone out there needs a free copy i've got one floating around. Also Magicka, should anyone be foolish enough to want to subject themselves to that.

2 more weeks

There's little danger of me being up late enough to join in with you guys any time soon (Plus I need to buy an actual mouse rather than using a trackpad which works fine for playing Civilization, less so for fps games) but I do have a steam account now, username ed_can_do if you want to add me. I'll probably go through the thread of usernames adding people anyway. :)

(Counts players)

(Frowns)

(Kicks Shade)

If you need another body for Mega Man to eat bullets and never, ever hit you back, I'm in.

This might go without saying, but just in case anyone is totally unfamiliar with Garry's Mod: the more Valve games* you have installed, the more Stuff you will have to fuck around with. You probably want Maximum Stuff. Particularly if we're going to play Murder/Prophunt/Trouble In Terrorist Town/Morbus, because the default GMod sandbox maps are inherently sort of shit for that.

Also, I don't think GMod will work at all unless you have something with the SDK installed. Possibly the Bundle version is special, though.


*Except DOTA. Even Garry knows better than to let DOTA leak into other games.

BEES (aka Sanic) is $5 on steam right now, so since that has come up a couple of times as a "what do we do now?" game, those who don't have it should definitely pick that up.

I am pretty sure I'll have Friday open, so I'm in.

So here's my perspective of the shortest l4d2 match I've ever had the pleasure of ending.

Watch as I pummel shade off the docks. Watch as I sporadically change the camera to see what the hell just even happened.

What are we doing this week?

Have we considered Dino D-Day? It's on sale for two fucking dollars.

It looks suitably awful.

People were talking NS as I recall.

I've got NS2, and haven't played it yet, so i'm up for that. I've also still got an extra copy from GoG kicking around, if anyone needs the game.

Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod gets absurd launch trailer ahead of its impending release | PC Gamer

This is a thing we should consider

THIS IS THE BEST WORST THING

OR THE WORST BEST THING

FUCK

So, yeah, THIS on Friday, if anybody wasn't paying attention due to how hard I was licking all their power nodes. Gonna skip the 24th and the 31st, if I even need to point that out.

NS actually started to get really fun once I figured out all the tricks the Gorge has. Fuck being a marine, though. Ammo management is never interesting.

Being the commander in NS was pretty cool, though it was also neat to be one of the people being commanded.

i should be able to make it on friday, though i might be late. I'm probably working until at least 9 or 10 pm my time (currently Central), and depending on how things go i might go to a staff party if i'm feeling up to it. Will totally show up at some point though, just hopefully in time to talk to more than crickets.

I feel that the game has a lot of potential, just not...with us. As a group.

Because we're retarded.

I actually really enjoyed NS2 last night. I did a much better job in the commander seat than I did as a peon, but it was still fun regardless. The only problem I had was being a Marine and constantly running out of ammo. You had to stick close to base until the commander built an ammo dispenser somewhere else. I think we as a group could have some really intense battles in it once most people know how to play.

It does make some level of sense that the Mechsuits are weaker than the rhino aliens, considering a suit costs 40 resources and a rhino 60. It really comes down to having a competent commander who can help you hold enough resource nodes to let your team pull ahead. Which i was not.

Oh, the multiplayer is massive fun. Sure, they despawned enemies (at least on the two servers I got on to earlier) but it definitely can support more than 50 players in such a massive world. With no lag, no less.

Starting January I might actually be able to start joining you guys for game night, woo!

A few quick notes for NS2 strategy for anyone that enjoyed it enough to possibly start playing.

- Watch the YouTube tutorials, they'll help you a ton.
- The mech is weaker because it's supposed to be a siege weapon. You want to stay in the back of an assault and pick off all the aliens going after your teammates. It's also amazing against alien buildings, and can take things out pretty quickly. A single minigun mech is also kinda butt, because your firepower is halved versus a dual. This might seem obvious, but 1/2 firepower is a huge handicap when you're up against a decent fade.
- The pistol for marines is really underrated. It has higher DPS than the rifle, and can kill a skulk faster than they know they're being shot at. Probably the best way to clear a skulk biting a power node or resource tower that's not paying attention.
- Don't waste your gun's ammo on alien structures. Use your axe to take out RTs and make sure your weapons are fully loaded for when the skulks show up. The only time to use your rifle to take out a building is when your commander is dropping ammo packs on you (or you know you're gonna die and just want to do as much damage as you can).
- If you have a fairly new marine team, getting phase gates quickly is important. Then the lower ammo capacity of marines doesn't become as much of a concern since you can always just die, respawn, and run back to the front lines faster than trying to ammo up.
- Power nodes are free to rebuild. That means don't bother attacking them as aliens unless they're the most vulnerable part of a base. It's generally better to just kill the resource tower (RT) and leave the power up in terms of time vs resource burning efficiency.
- Skulks are free, as are all of their upgrades. Treat them as disposable units which are good for hit and run techniques. You can cover the map a lot faster than marines can, so if you can take out two marines building an RT, you'll likely get back there faster than they will.
- Skulks stick to walls and ceilings. Use this to your advantage when you're fighting marines. Don't even try to bite them until their clips are empty.


Anyway, there's a ton more, but that's just a start. The game is a ton of fun and actually gets way better once you understand a bit of basic techniques for each class.

I enjoyed it a lot, but as I said at the time I think it's something that we'd have to try playing semi-seriously 'cause it doesn't seem like it can really shine as a game if you're goofing off which, let's face it, is basically what we do for game night.

I will say that after playing as the alien commander (without ever having the chance to play as an alien loooooooooool) I understood way more about what I should've been doing as a marine. It's worth taking a turn in the seat, even if it goes badly, to see how things develop from the top.

If you guys want to play it again as a gamenight type of thing you should actually try out CombatMod for NS2. Basically get rid of the RTS parts of the game and instead replace it with an assault mode where the marines are supposed to assault the alien hive. Kills/teamwork gets you points which let you buy upgrades. Probably a much better intro to the game than standard mode. One of the upgrades for marines is also ammo pack drops, so that helps out a lot with ammo management, as well.

Someone also recreated The Hidden mod except in this case it's called The Faded where it's marines vs a fade.

Ahahahahahaha god this fucking plane cracked me up. Garr turns around for ten seconds and suddenly there it is in the street, bouncing like it has hydraulics. Then it teleports to the shoreline and catches fire. Then it hurtles toward a condo and kills Diss, vanishing thereafter. Then, a minute later, it suddenly reappears in the street, crushing shade and knocking Garr off a rooftop without even touching him.

Also funny: shade ghost riding Garr's car, only for Garr to drive off a cliff.

Hard to even pin down highlights, there were very few moments when something was not balling out of control. Definitely have to do this again, ideally after some server scouting to find functional territorial control & infinite-strength tethers.

And the boost button.

Server needs boost function.

I'm gonna have to look through for that part that made me laugh so hard I could barely breathe. I believe it may have involved a BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS.

Please do, diss.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it last night. I was just simply too tired and passed out at like 9 PM or something. Jeez it's been a long time since I've gone to sleep that early. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.

I think my favorite part is late in the game where we all brought up the passenger airliner that was doing fucking flips in the air at different intervals.

"What is that fucking plane doing?"
::5 minutes later::
"Dude do you guys see that plane?"
::3 minutes later::
"Oh my god this plane what the fuck?"

[ 20:23:49 ] [ +Diss ] Like Pang didn't even notice it was there
[ 20:24:00 ] [ +Diss ] Just right over the middle of it

Anybody who hasn't grabbed this, go ahead: it's still $2.49 until the end of the holiday sale and Nazi dinosaurs are happening when we resume on the 7th.

Other January plans:

Dominant Species, an evolution-based board game

Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers

and then, completely abandoning the prehistory theme to celebrate our second anniversary: we return to MOONBASE ALPHA, which added a competitive mode (with SPACE MADNESS) last year sometime when no one was looking.

(Primal Carnage is $5 during the sale but from what I've seen it has all the jank of Dino D-Day and none of the charm, so eh.)

It currently being New Year's Eve, and without any actual exciting plans, i'm probably going to end up just kicking around at home for the evening. Should any of you find yourselves in a similar situation, we should pull an impromptu game night. As for what we'll play, i have absolutely no idea - that depends on who shows up and what they have.

I will not be around tonight, got a gathering with some friends for new years eve.

I haven't decided if I feel like going out tonight or not, so the most I can currently offer is a maybe.

Anyone feel like doin' something tomorrow night on account of the (for the most part) break from game night? My appetite for trash talk has gone unsated for too long.

Don't ask them if they're going to do something. Tell them they're going to do something.

For example, tomorrow night* you're all going to enjoy Deus Ex's hilariously janky multiplayer. Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers.

Number 1: That's terror.

*No. Within six months.

Good point.

Tomorrow we're going to make a second attempt at playing Natural Selection, and instead of just throwing ourselves against a wall that has sharp teeth/machine guns (depending on which teams you played) until we die over and over we're going to actually learn some shit about how the game works, so that we can actually potentially enjoy it.

And then, when that fails—

When that fails, there's always Mega Man. That doesn't require learning anything, not even what Mega Man is, as Dull so effectively illustrated in his child-like wonder.

LEARNING ATTEMPT AFTER-ACTION REPORT:

nope

We learned that we need more than 6 to play NS!

There may be a threshold of players beyond which NS2 becomes playable, but that number is larger than the number of people one could theoretically persuade to play NS2.

A CONUNDRUM

Apparently I own Natural Selection 2, not entirely sure how that happened, it must have been in a bundle. Obviously that still leaves the issue of me rarely being up at 5am on a Tuesday or whenever but just putting it out there.

Yeah, it was included a couple humble bundles ago.

Next week: Carcassonne! With cavemen! If you've been to a meet you've learned how to play Carcassonne whether you wanted to or not, and if you haven't, don't worry! It's significantly more dumb, random, and easy to learn than you might expect!

If you don't have VASSAL, get that! Then get this!

Module:Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers - VASSAL

MEGALOPOLIS COMES

Holy shit rockets, it's amazing how much I actually liked Dinos.

The leaping.

The biting.

The tankasaurus.

The setting shade on fire.

Don't even front, that shit was great. I want to try this one again with Acer about at some point.

It was great for the entirety of the period in which we were all mostly on the same team

And then that fell apart and it was sort of less great but still decent-to-middling

And then Nachos happened and the whole world narrowed to a black, red-rimmed point full of Shade's flamethrower and some pubbie asshole forcing me into unskippable GET GNAWED ON cutscenes and there's no round timer on this point capture map? Really? and the only great thing was the frequency and variation of the curses I was laying upon the developers and the seven generations of their descendants

Still, Microraptor Trolling while Hawkeye devoured all your unguarded shins was pretty hype, BIRD/10

During the winter sale, this kept going on sale. Diss and I kept bugging people to buy it. I snagged a 4 pack and have given out 2 of them so far for $5 a piece. I have one remaining for $5. I would love to give it a try for game night one week if we can get enough people to get it.

Ok so what is this week anywho

It is a mystery of time and space

Never used Vassal before, but downloaded the Carcassonne's thing. Hopefully will be around Tuesday to kick it with you folks.

Carcassonne can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on how fast people play. Also any expansions added immediately add more time to the game since it adds more tiles.

So far as I can tell, Hunters & Gatherers is more of a reskin than an expansion. You just have forests, meadows and rivers instead of cities, fields and roads. I would figure 3 hours is enough time for at least 2 rounds, assuming a no-more-than-usual level of bumblefucking and foot-dragging.

Rules are here, if you want

Maybe we could talk about switching nights at some point. I may be looking at some early Wednesday mornings myself in the near future.

Pang if you're dead or were eaten by THE RULES OF NATURE please let me know

otherwise imma keep choppin ninjas and shit

Did you guys seriously need my help to explain how to put a tile down next to another tile

Shade said something about being unable to rotate the tile and that was good enough for the rest of us to not even attempt it and instead play Mega Man.

If a night change is up for discussion I'm gonna selfishly suggest any night that isn't Sunday or Tuesday. Thursday would be pretty boss, for example. How do you all feel about making it a weekend night?

Pro: People located further east would be able to stick around later.
Con: People may occasionally have other plans and be unable to participate.
Pro: Deni might be one of those.

Thoughts?

The board game failed because you guys weren't rotating the components enough? What is this.

(I popped it open, apparently rotate is set to Ctrl + Right Bracket. That is stupid. You chose correctly.)

Well next week was going to be Dominant Species but now that I take a hard look at the rules it seems like a fiddly mess that makes Arkham Horror look like compact design. So, instead: Mâamut, a game about hunting a mammoth. With only 4 pages of rules. Won't that be nice.

(If this fails somehow we'll just fast-forward to MOONBASE, fuck it.)

As far as scheduling goes: turns out my own personal get-the-fuck-up-at-dawn-situation is going to be totally unpredictable, so there's that; I'll just have to bail early when I have to bail early, week to week. Assuming Thursday works for Garr it's as rad as anything else.

I'm a little leery of making Game Night proper a weekend thing; we already have Supplemental on Friday about half the time and it feels like Supplemental is a good fit there for the no-effort chat crowd that just wants to play the same 3 or 4 games over and over.

While we're being selfish about moving game night, please don't move it to Monday or Wednesday for my sake. As it is, any other day of the week will still get a 50% attendance rate from me, but those two days will never not be work days.

Thursday is totally cool for me.

Putting tiles down isn't the hard part. Flipping the center tile over was the hard part. I had the board loaded but the center tile was all LOOK AT MY BACK SIDE and I made a frowny face before declaring ice cream cones a bust and then trying to host everything all at once.

Thursday is cool with me.

Also, Shade: meet me on the roof. We're playing basketball.

Speaking of...

YouTube Video

Also I'm not all that enthused about Thursday cuz I have work Friday morning but eh I'll try to work with whatever the group wants.

Do not forget: I beat you all. Twice.

Just let that sink in.

In other news, all the planets have moved out of alignment.


It wasn't until I scrolled down to type this that I realized how fucking enormous that block of tags is. Good work, gentlemen.

Well, all together it looks like Thursday is the option that steps on a minimal number of toes, so let's roll with that until some new disaster happens. Thursday the 23rd. Mammoths. Huzzah.

There has been talk of an impromptu Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch night tonight. For anyone who hasn't played before, you're probably not even reading this thread. But whatever! If you don't have it yet, it's a free Doom 2 mod and is available here: Cutstuff.net – Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch Home

Typically we start game nights at around 6 pm (hahahaha, start) Pacific time, as that allows the west coast to get home from work etc. Obviously, being Saturday, we are under no such obligations.

I am going to suggest a 4:30 pm Pacific start time just to throw a number out there. Is that too early for anyone?

Whenever you get it up and going just text me.

Gentlemen:

Kindly purchase the current Humble Weekly Sale. For $6 you get everything you need to play DayZ, which would usually cost $25 or more. There may also be another interesting game in the bundle, I didn't really notice.

Is game night tonight or Thursday this week?

We Thursdayin' it up for the foreseeable future.

It wasn't that awful when I tried it, but I did notice that it took a good 15 minutes or so, which is very uncommon for files of that size.

Well, just in case I've gone ahead and mirrored both the game and the newest version of VASSAL:

Vassal!

Game!

I just found out that there is a web version of some kind of Cards Against Humanity and your Game Night was my first thought, but then I see you already did it :(. Has anyone looked at Nidhogg, or is the netcode total shit?

Also goddamn that's a lot of fucking tags.

We do online Cards like, every other week these days.

(I have heard that Nidhogg's netcode is in fact total garbage, sadly.)

How long has CAH had the online thing going? I only heard about it a few days ago and it sounded like it was a new thing but I guess not. I freaking love the idea of CAH and have watched some streams/videos of people playing the physical version, but I have almost no one locally I could possibly get a game going with.

Looking into Nidhogg, seems like if you are regional with the other person it's pretty solid, but cross country gets dicey.

Well, there's patch reports going back to early 2012, so then-ish I'd guess?

Trip report: 2 games of Mâamut played before FLIP THE TABLE kicked in. A simple, decently strategic game for people with more patience than us. Ah well.

Next week: MOON.

This game does not appear to actually have any multiplayer support, Acer! I am dubious of its usefulness to Game Night!

Real Talk: Buy Deus Ex (2000 not 2011) if you don't have it. The deathmatch is legit goofy stupid fun and you can play the singleplayer later at your leisure (you're welcome).

I just want to prod with the prod. :(

But you already do so much prodding on game night. Surely, your appetite for prodding has been sated ten times over!

My appetite for prods can no more be sated than your appetite for fist emporiums.

That's not entirely fair; I do have a rather large appetite irrespective of that which would attempt to fill it.

Ahahah that thread title though. I will never abandon my eternal quest to discover just what the weird truly is. Who even said that shit to begin with? I love it.

Only when we figure out where this hole goes will we truly learn what the weird is.

Ahahahaha god my sides are fucking orbit.

Best thing is how even 45 minutes later we're still joking about it.

The log says I killed Tails so I guess I was just close range to him and getting hit made me stun.

I just love the way it looks like I just pop out.

So what is this week?

MORE MEGA?

Directly behind him is a little step down to a lower level, and if you watch your weapons you are shooting up at him and then you pop because you're jumping up just as he dies.

You're asking if a second game will be played, so as to allay Pang when Mega Man inevitably happens, right?

To the contrary.

I have embraced The Weird

And you, all of you

will come to know The Weird.

I dunno about y'all but I'm all about The fucking Weird. The truth shall set you free, but just what is it?

It's grits.

If we do end up playing Mega Man, everyone download this: chaosgenerator-2_upgraded_vG_hotfix1.wad

It's a mod called Roll's Chaos Generator, and is the one I've mentioned a couple times that adds random effects to matches. It is very silly.

In order to play with it, you will need to go to the Connect tab of the MM8BDM launcher, and click Add File under "Extra Command Line Parameters" then browse to, and select, the .wad.

HeroQuest is not a particularly complicated game, but for those who weren't around when we last played this business two years ago, here's the rulebook:

http://www.pokewhat.com/cyber333/hqd..._rule_book.pdf

(You may also need the rulebook if you are Acer and the rules fell out of your noggin after you encountered a jackalwump on your way to the candy shoppe and you fell higgledy-piggledy all the way down the hill.)

Oh man, I loved Hero Quest as a kid. I was sad when the kickstarter was shut down.

Trip Report: Acer died immediately.

PS: It's 62.

I kind of want to continue our Hero Questing this week, but Diss is out thanks to his move.

If he's back in time, I'd be down for more rockin' and sockin'.

If not, what's on the docket?

still can't come next week - i hate when my work schedule doesn't let me do anything fun.

If we get five people of any variety I think we can keep on questin', it's not exactly a narrative-heavy game that'll cause Diss to be totally confused if he misses a quest or two. If only four people show this week then we can finally get some Nation Red in.

On the other hand we're long overdue a trip back to sunny Panau.

God DAMMIT I'm going to have to play this garbage aren't I

Negative; internet supposed to be hooked up Weds. Since HQ is not computer intensive I still have possession of my old place and can take the ol' laptop over and play there if the connection transfer is bungled (it will be).

How computer intensive is taking Sven's turn

Just wait for the Michael Bay directed short film that will take the place of his usual text-based posts.

Well, that is more that I haven't really had time to go back and access the internet. Sorry. Been a busy week of carrying shit and unboxing things.

We learned a lot of important things tonight. We learned that you can never have enough ghosts. We learned about foreign cultures. We learned about sainthood. But most of all we learned about Florida's terrible Wi-Fi.

Tabletop Simulator | Berserk Games

it's not quite ready yet (the game has yet to fully release, and it's a little lacking for games at this point), but this will definitely be good for some game nights. Once they start letting people make their own game pieces, we'll be set to play all sorts of stuff.

Also, confirmed for trollability, if there were ever any doubt.

I'm sure this has a lot of potential, but what I see now is someone trying to charge me to play public-domain games with the bonus of 100% more ersatz dick drawings made out of 3D marbles

ok, since i'll be there tomorrow/today and i haven't been around for a month, what do i need to do to get ready for these shenanigans?

I'm not sure if our Quests tonight will be Heroic or Titanic. If we elect to be Heroic, then all you need is the rulebook. In the event that we choose to be Titans, you must seize the Gold.

(Seriously even if we don't end up playing TQ tonight errybody grab it while it's $5 and install that business. Owning a Satyr-Punching Simulator is not a decision it is possible to regret.)

QUESTING IS ASSURED

TITAN QUEST

starring

HAWKEYE, the healer who doesn't

GARR, the most fragile of tanks

DISS, who wears the smart socks

SKILLS, melee archer

PANG, jealous of his own sword

DULL, "Leroy Jenkins"

and introducing

CRAPFOX

Oh man that game was excellent.

Great suggestion.

So, planning times:

I think we should pencil in Hero Quest for next week before everybody forgets the rules. The week after that is the first anniversary of our decision to commit to the idea that denisux, and that no one who disagrees should be permitted among us. I feel like this deserves some sort of recognition, but I'm not sure which game conveys best the ways in which denisux. Thoughts?

Saturday April 5 is International Tabletop Day, so I think it would be nice to do a Supplemental that evening, ideally something popular and approachable. Catan maybe? Maybe even something super dumb and traditional like Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, that sort of business.

Additional Spam:
Alternate ITD idea: Clue/Jumanji/Battleship Drink-On

I have been considering all the ways in which denisux, and fear that they are so numerous and so terrible that I will not have time to adequately consider them all before next Thursday.

Perhaps something involving boxing.

Not too many multiplayer boxing titles on the PC. Super SFIV tournament, Balrog/Dudley only? $30 for a one-night gimmick is a bit much for some folks though. TF2 is free, and I could go for Night of The Melee Heavies.

Omigod there's a 19th-century boardgame literally just called BOXES but it looks boring as shit :(

Well this is denisux night, is it not?

If other people have AE (I do) then I would totally be down for an evening of punching in futility with my awful 360 gamepad.

[ 13:05:52 ] [ +^___^ ] so what are you guys playing tonight?
[ 13:06:03 ] [ +Diss ] Tonight is Hero Quest
[ 13:07:36 ] [ +^___^ ] is that on Steam?
[ 13:07:41 ] [ +Diss ] No
[ 13:07:54 ] [ +Diss ] We use Roll20 for lot of board games
[ 13:08:06 ] [ +^___^ ] oh it's a board game
[ 13:08:09 ] [ +^___^ ] I see
[ 13:16:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] I thought tonight was titanquest
[ 13:16:26 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] which is on steam
[ 13:21:49 ] [ +Diss ] Pang suggested HQ before people forget the rules
[ 13:21:57 ] [ +Diss ] But that's the only input anyone's given so far.
[ 13:22:21 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] Well
[ 13:22:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] I already forgot them!
[ 13:22:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] so

Have fun, Pang!

Well, if you guys prefer to do Titan Quest again tonight and if somebody wants to grab that sixth player slot, it's always on sale somewhere.

On the other hand, if we play TQ again, there's a new patch. A patch for the patch.

You won't have to watch the intro movie again, though!

I just read the word quest

we do a lot of quests

any quests are good with me

PATCHING TWICE?!!?!??!?

I'm pretty jazzed for Hero Quest tbh

Y'ALL IS BOJOS

Real talk we looked into it and the rights to City Connection are in some kind of limbo and Jaleco is apparently into fucking real estate these days. So we need to get that Kickstarter going.

any plan for this evening?

Well, it's DENISUXIVERSARY, so the standing plan is SSFIVAE, Balrog/Dudley only. Because an extremely strained "box"ing joke is the best we could do.

If not enough folks have AE (what with it being $30 and all) I have a backup plan that includes the twin Deni passions of putting things in boxes and smug pretensions of intellectual superiority. However, the backup plan depends somewhat on people refraining from dickdoodling, so hopefully we can get our FIGHT LIKE A GENTLEMAN on.

SHADE = FROWNIES

So, next Thursday, back to some variety of Questing I guess depending on turnout, unless anyone objects

Hmmmmm, the version I'm hosting broke too. Turns out it only works for a few minutes before overloading and stopping refreshing. Lemme poke at it and see if I can fix it (don't get your hopes up I've never used this language before) Bug fixed, see next post.


Hey word-putters-together. I noticed that that Babble fridge magnet game is open source, so my extracurricular activity for this evening was to see if the game was irrevocably broken or if it's just that server that's fucked up. Turns out that, on my computer, the page would actually refresh on its own. Hooray!

Not so hooray: having to install a personal copy of the fucking Java runtime on the GFF server so that we can have a functional web version somewhere. Also I have to start and stop the game server manually, so you all have to let me know if it ever goes down so I can restart it.

So anyway, GFF Official Babble Times can now occur here: gamingforce.org:37423

~

Side benefit to running this game ourselves: I now have access to the word list. So if you all have any suggestions for additions, let me know.

Here are the current contents:

Okay folks, here's the scoop. I did manage to identify and fix the bug, because I'm the best (also because it was a really simple error). I made an issue on the guy's bug tracker and he made my suggested change in literally four minutes. This means that babble.cx now functions properly. Hooray!

So now there isn't really a reason for me to host the game on GFF, unless you all want to go nuts with custom words.

Why would we not want to do that.

For example, the existing wordlist contains no grundles whatsoever

Well, I was thinking that from an effort perspective, the amount of words we'd have to add/remove to make a GFF theme entertaining and not just "the same as the normal version, but once every 10 rounds we get 'grundle' or 'denisux'" may be excessive.

Although maybe if I

PS: robotshoots tomorrow

Contact lens removal update: fingers still possess jalapeno essence.

So on Pang's recommendation I picked up Titanquest the other week and started playing it yesterday, turns out it's pretty awesome so thanks for that Pang!

Why were you getting rocked so hard, actually?

I restarted it yesterday because a) I thought the expansion was a seperate game, didn't realise you could play the main quest by loading it up and b) I made a few dubious choices character development-wise and a fresh start after a few hours at it often helps in games like this.

I'm not too far back in, just cleared all the Sparta quests but I'm going as a Lightning-wizard rather than a Warrior this time (Spells are more interesting) and planning on going for Nature as a secondary to have a pack of wolves involved. Actually not burning too many potions so far as with enough points dropped into ice shard it's a one-hit-kill on most monsters at this point in the game.

One thing I've noticed is that at low levels at least, you can never really generate enough health regeneration to avoid needing health potions. I got up to a health regen of around 200% as an experiment and it still crawls along. The amount of effort needed to get a decent health regen as a viable alternative seems to me a lot more effort than just keeping 30 health potions handy.

Of course this might all change at higher levels, especially using the health drain spell but even that has a pretty significant cool down period on it. My limited experience has suggested that killing things quickly is the best option for not getting hurt.

If you never want to use any potions, just go Defense/Nature. Enjoy never dying (and having an offensive efficiency slightly below that of a damp paper towel).

I can confirm that having a wolf running around distracting enemies while you pelt them with ice shards increases the survivability of a mage significantly. Getting swarmed by spiders can be an issue and I guess putting points into that slow-field skill nature has (i think) might help but the points would be better spent on offence at this point. It's slightly annoying you can't bind any skill you want on to the left mouse button as I only ever use normal attacks when I run out of energy which with the abundance of potions you get is essentially never. Having a different spell on the other button would be handy, specifically the area effect, stunning lightning spell. At the moment I use that as the right button on my alt-weapon set, switch to it to fire that then switch straight back once it's in the air. I don't know why but I find pressing "W" then right clicking on whatever I'm already shooting at easier than hitting a number key, then left clicking on whatever I'm shooting at. Silly really.

ATTN: CHz

Updated the nouns with a whole shit-ton of game night content. Other parts of speech later.

All right, loaded in the Great GFF Noun Collection.

This game apparently barfs over foreign characters, so future versions of this file should probably heathenize "jalapeño," "macramé," and "Pokémon," unless you want question marks to appear in those words instead. I mean, you may want that.

Turns out Acer can be good at games if you make him put his special helmet on first. Next week: Guns of Icarus! We have a plan! I love planning things! It is a love story.

MA'AM'S SPAGHETTI: HARD AND READY

jesus that was way too much Mexico for 4 AM

Sorry if I was obnoxious to anyone, things got very bourbony in a hurry and I said some things I regretted almost instantly

I'm mostly just impressed that it didn't occur to you that no one could hear you for about 20 minutes straight during Fiasco. Here i've taken over running the game, and wondering when you'll come back, and no one has any idea that you're actually right there, speaking but never heard, a part of the world and yet never able to partake of it.

Shame Sanic didn't work very well, though. What's the plan for next week (through some bizarre scheduling miracle, i should actually be able to come)? Did Diss make his decision?

Yeah, things still seemed to go really smoothly and I'm amazed we got through an 8-player game in 3 hours, so you role as Emergency GM is deeply appreciated if unintended. I really need to buy the adapter I need so I can use my other headset that doesn't have a comical accidental mute button. Thank you, as always, for being Game Night's reliable source of sober rationality.

(No idea what happened the second time Skype got iffy, literally all the incoming audio was CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!)

Next Week, as I THINK I mentioned while I was audible, is up to Diss. Hopefully he'll have a plan before the last possible minute. In the event he fails to decide, the Garr-Pang Coalition will demand continued Questing Against Titans.

(Still dunno WTF with Sanic since shit was basically flawless with randoms)

You weren't obnoxious during Megamans. Just broken. Pretty sure, very broken.

It wouldn't be a good game night if there wasn't some regret.

I haven't decided yet, but since we've talked about playing Divekick before, the Humble store has it on sale for 2.49 so it's probably not a bad idea to pick that up for the future. Guns of Icarus is also on for 3.74 (both there and on Steam) and that is likely something we will return to in the near future, so if you also don't have that, well. Well.

Sanic is usually flawless.

I'm fine with the explanation that Tails is e-Typhoid Mary and we call caught internet plague from him.

If people don't have it and are cool with scooping it up for :tenbux: off the Humble store (maybe it's elsewhere for less, I dunno) I'm going to suggest for next week:

Any reason not Armageddon?

It is true that Reloaded's 4-player cap on multiplayer is a problem.

But on the other hand, it is primarily a problem for Skills, who is reliably the 5th person to show up.

None other than I remember you guys talking about trying to play it before and it being a total nightmare of ductaped connectivity woe. I don't remember the specifics of the complaints, though, so if it's anticipated it won't be an issue I'm cool with that too. In fact, that's preferable since Armageddon is a better game.

I thought we got it working?

I think?

Didn't we?

I remember something. About games and sheep and really out of practice ninja roping but

Damn, was out all day. Would totally have been down!

Sorry, was working. Had a break that might have been able to join you, but got distracted teaching a friend to play Blade Symphony. That game is way too much fun for its own good.

Nope 24/7 exploding entire satyr armies by walking near them forever

SO NEXT WEEK WE PLAYIN' SOME COUNTER-STRIKE?

WHAT THE FUCK, YOU MIGHT SAY, WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS?

The answer is no one's idea. Acer is just SO BAD AT MAKING DECISIONS that we literally had to throw a dart at his games list and HERE WE ARE

It looks like most of you own both versions of CS, we'll just go with whatever's easier next week. If you don't own CS and you would like to (why god why):
