well you can count on me not being around until a fair bit later, because i just got the word that i'll be starting working tuesday nights as of next week. I might show up late, but the possibility of me playing the full time is pretty much gone (although let be honest, i haven't been very good about remembering to show up for the last month)

Don't sweat it, Stop Sign told us he would be too busy "until July" and we haven't seen him since.

Sorry, I really should have said something. I'm still working crazy hours on Tuesday, and this may be indefinite :(

Well, no other suggestions are coming forward and I haven't really had time to prepare anything Roll20-wise so Sanctum it is. Unfortunately that caps out at 4 players sooooo apologies to the irregulars :(

Oh shit

I got that installed already so no fashionably late installs here.

Oh this one should be excellent.

Although to be honest The Hidden was some of the best vidya we've done yet so it'll be hard to top that.

I got a call to go in for work tomorrow at 6PM, but (as usual) I haven't gotten confirmation yet. I already have Sanctum installed, so depending on how long the job takes (if I'm even working), it's not impossible that I can get in on the tail end of the thing.

That is, if you guys don't already have a full party by then.

I'm not working tonight, so I'm in!

LET'S DO THIS THING

Next week: Terraria! I know plenty of you motherfuckers have this.

Also even though Sanctum was originally my idea it was Hawkeye who suggested it for this week so I'm gonna blame him for all our frustrations.

PS there's a (provisional) schedule for future weeks in the OP now but I keep making the mistake of asking you people for your opinions so who knows :shrug:

THERE IS NO GETTING PAST WAVE 8

I'll take being blamed for frustrations. It's sort of like participating. Except instead of playing games i'm wrapping cables and pushing squeaky sound carts around.

Just a heads up that I won't be coming in tonight. I've been fighting a cold for the last few days and I really need to rest up good as I feel pretty shitty right now.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

I'm debating whether or not I'll be coming tonight as well. I have some work that I might want to catch up on and tonight could be good for that. Not sure though. How is everyone else feeling?

Well I figured Terraria might draw in a few more folks but nobody's said boo and Terraria with 2 people seems a little ehhhh.

Well Ry we'll probably try Terraria again next week since Acer's amazing house of cards kept falling over and eventually we just bailed for some incompetentastic TF2 action.

If Terraria still explodes everything when we try again next week, more Hidden!

Mann vs Machine was fun but I don't think anybody else plays often enough to justify the cost of Mann Up tickets and without the promise of loots it gets a bit grindy. But it's there as a fallback I guess since Acer can pull down 10GB in about 90 seconds.

I still kept you ducking in and out of that water for like three minutes before you realized my weapons could not harm you :(

You don't lose a ticket until you win a mission. If you do all six missions from a given campaign you win a fancy-ass silver or diamond gun. So you're out six bucks for the tickets and the weapon might not even be for a class you play. There's also a tiny chance for premium robot hats I guess. Not really worth the cash unless you're a tremendous hat baron with 200 cosmetics and 11 dupe accounts and like six different trading sites bookmarked like me so you can flip that shit for a profit.

Since my memory is utter shit, what's this week's shenanigans again?

Just dropping in to say that I have company and as such am not sure that I will be able to join in tomorrow, as my desktop is in the guest room and they usually go to bed much earlier than our session ends. I'm downloading TF2 on my laptop right now, however, and will see about getting The Hidden. That doesn't look too promising though, as even though I can get the Source SDK 2006, I can't see the mod being compatible with OSX.

As for Terraria, I can run the legit version with a game wrapper but the multiplayer is supposedly wonky at best. I'll try and see if there is a version of the wrapper that makes it more reliable.

In any case, do what you will. I'll try and be present and ready for whatever you guys choose and if it so happens that it doesn't work on my end I'll just join the stream and heckle you from a distance for a change.

Guess I'll just have to boobytrap your castle some more. These jokers convinced me to do it while I waited for TF2 to download and install last time.

I just went in there to work on the battlements and I got a face full of gravel. :tubular:

Now I'm all paranoid to keep going. :tpg:

Additional Spam: Aaaaaand Team Fortress 2 hangs at Steam validation. After spending the evening doing everything short of reinstalling it (10GB download again no thank you) Imma say fuck it. Enjoy your silly hats.

Spam, egg, spam, and spam: Okay, so the company that is over are gone until late enough in the evening that in the end I will plausibly be able to play tonight, at least for the first part of the evening. I've bought and installed Terraria and am downloading TF2 on my other machine. Since it's in Windows I hopefully won't get the same problem I got yesterday on my laptop with the verification.
