I have Serious Sam classic, but not the HD remake. Do they work together at all or is there an actual difference that keeps the two from working together? If Sam classic on steam won't work with Sam HD on steam, I'll just snag the HD remake as well cause I can never own enough Sam.

Classic and HD do not play well together, alas.

BUY ALL THE SAMS

I think all i've got for Sam is the GOG copies i've got lying around on a hard drive somewhere around here. That game is amazingly fun multiplayer, though.

Next Tuesday:

GIANT CANNONBALLS OF DEATH NIGHT

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tomorrow. I put my name in to do supply teaching and I got a call today to be in tomorrow and Wednesday at 7:45 AM, which is rather early considering that game night starts at 10PM for me (yay for the Atlantic timezone!).

This is going to be an ongoing thing but it doesn't necessarily mean I'll be working every Wednesday. I'll let you guys know as I find out on a weekly basis.

Also, I will probably drop into the stream for a while at the beginning of the evening to at least see what I will be missing (besides annoying Skills).

Tell those students to stuff it, you've got Cannonballs to deploy.

Also, Homeworld running under Win 7 no issue. Widescreen mod demands running under Windows NT compat, though.

I wrote the instructions in a text file.

Acer will help me share.

Anyone who wants to try to help me set up an MP game this weekend should grab it beforehand and then we can test how we're going to host the game.

I'll want to grab beforehand anyway to make sure it'll have no problems running under WINE.

Well, if this does turn out to be an ongoing thing of routinely having Wednesday morning engagements, it's not like there's something sacred about doing this business on Tuesday night. RYCHORD DON'T LEAVE US WE NEED YOUR GOOD JOKES

Well, in reality it's an on call thing, so Wednesday is as likely as any other day that I will get a call, and I usually won't know too long in advance. Maybe I wasn't as clear in the way I phrased in my previous post. For instance, next Wednesday is still open.

Hence, there's not really a point in moving it unless we moved it to the weekend which would probably make it worse in terms of attendance, or if we started eariler in the evening but then it becomes pretty early for those of us who are further out west (I think Garr specifically would have to be available pretty ridiculously early?).

I'm also still looking for a more stable gig, so if I happen upon that soon this might all be pointless, though I don't know what kind of schedule I'll have then either.

PANG I WILL SEND MY JOKES VIA TELEFAX WHAT IS TELEFAX NUMBER

Rarely have I fired my balls at so many invisible cows

Cheers to Shade for finally joining us over a year after he posted

Jeers to Skills for bailing like a sleepy bitch literally 5 minutes before the final boss

Baffled Shrugs at Garr for just vanishing midgame like a rude dude

I like that shade was there to shoot stuff with us. It was a good thing. :shade:

It was fun! I'm sorry I've missed out on so many fun nights. I want to join in for more.

Also, as a side note, vsync is a horrible thing. I spent the first quarter of the night with choppy graphics because of it.

:shade:

S'what we kinda figured. I kept watching you drop out and figured you had given up on it. No big deal, hopefully it mellows out by next week.

Jesus christ the process of getting Homeworld going has me drowning in misplaced nostalgia

People still use No-CDs when they can just mount images?

I'd ask if this was 1999 but it appears that with this game; yes, yes it is.

Welp, Skills and I did a test run to make sure shit actually works, and, after Gameranger flailing helplessly and HOW DO I BUTTS, it does! Now, you may hear some different accounts regarding the outcome of our epic space battle. Let me say only this. Gnatswam regrets nothing.

let me also declare my undying vendetta against inertia

OK, Pang and I got this shit working.

We need to use GAMERANGER, but that shit worked. It's a LAN tunneling service. You need to get it installed and whatnot. Not too difficult.

PS pang just mad his zergin' didn't work.

my one weakness

I've got Homeworld 2 knocking about somewhere. If ever there was a game I didn't get my head round, that was it. I suck enough at RTS as it is, let alone in 3d...

I won't be able to make it tonight either. I've been sick for the last week, and working on top of that (and driving 18 hours over the weekend to go see my GF in Montreal) has done quite a number on me.

It sucks that I of all people am missing RTS night, but I hope you guys will have a good time!

The next time this is happening is like

in 18 months

so

WITNESS THE HUNGER

THE CAPACITY FOR NOURISHMENT

Next week: SWAT IV! Acer tries to breach a door with beanbag rounds while squad leader Skills slowly claws the skin from his own face. It's impossible to actually buy this shit anymore so do what you do.

All next month: EMULAPRIL. Add suggestions to the list! Support for 4+ players is ideal but not absolutely necessary.

N64 (Mario Kart 64)

NES (Top Gun Permadeath, maybe pair off for some River City Ransoms?)

SNES (That SF2 Turbo? That SF2 Turbo. Uniracers?)

Arcade (That 6-player X-Men business, Sunset Riders, NBA JAM, fuckin' Gauntlet. Smash TV?)

Additional Spam:
Actually depending on the emulator some singleplayer games might be fine

Just map everyone's controls to player 1

Struggle to wrest control of Mario from everybody else

Man if we're going to run some bizarro shit.

HERE'S AN IDEA

Warp Pipe Technologies: Creating Multiplayer Possibilities

Warp Pipe. LAN tunneling for fucking GAMECUBES

Double Dash all up in this.

Problem though;
Prerequisite: Actual gamecubes. Actual gamecube lan adaptors.

BUT IT'S AN IDEA.

also while talking ideas like:

Battletoads and double dragon.

Actually any of the battletoads

Macho man Garr and myself can do BATTLEMANIACS because of extreme self loathing.
