In case anyone missed NS2 in the steam sale, check out the latest humble bundle:

https://www.humblebundle.com/

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.

PS: Garry's Mod next week, for those who didn't make it tonight. BECAUSE THEY WERE PLAYING BIOSHOCK INFINITE.

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!

15 Gig download for Left 4 my asshole 2!

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

Background download my dick into your butt

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. :)

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.

Just so people know, here's a list of games that directly affect content in Garry's mod:

I'm not sure what happens if you join a person who has these installed and you don't. Do you just get kicked off when an item is used from one of those games?
