Join the Gamingforce Steam Community!

Wondering what you get when you join the GFF Steam Community?
You get:

• A chance to meet up with people you "post" with
• An opportunity to play some games with them, like Day of Defeat or Counter-Strike Source. Why, even the new TF2 game thing!
• Uh...other stuff maybe...like events and stuff!

Anyways, go join it if you want. I made it for everyone, it's a public group, and it should be more fun than the Facebook group.

Also, post your Steam ID in this thread.

I play DoD and DoD source occasionally, but lately I've been sticking with console stuff. I may end up buying orange box soon, though, and then look out, world!

xiaowei - mooo -> Steam Community :: ID :: mooo

I play DoD:s and TF2, currently.

Skexis. Get orange box for TF2. It's fantastic.

EDIT: I've given you the wrong handle, it's Free_User.

Not unsurprisingly:

Anyone play Garry's Mod much?

Garry's Mod is playable? I thought it was just a sandbox thing where you could make videos and whatnot.

While that is one of its uses, I much prefer the construction/playing with physics side of it. Constructing vehicles, arranging NPC wars, filling the map with bouncy, weightless explosive barrels; stuff like that.

The first "vehicle" I ever constructed, if you can call it that, was merely two dumpsters welded together with me inside, and with attached thrusters. Later I also realized I could make them transparent, so I could tell where I'm going. And yes, it was quite dangerous for all involved parties. My brother once made a submarine that could both float on water and submerge, and fire explosive barrel torpedoes.

GMod 9 also had several game modes. In one, teams built their own forts then played a "hold the flag" style game. In another, one team plays as birds trying to poop on the human's heads, and the other team is the humans trying to shoot the birds down. There's also Melon Racing, Hide and Seek, Soccer, Freeze Tag, and more.

No, sir.

So, I built a shiny new computer pretty much solely for TF2.

ID: Bender B. Rodriguez

we don't have grenades or shotguns, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

The_Griffin - murdercrow

I can NOT wait for Portal. I hope it has multiplayer. *drool*

I don't know if it will, what with being a puzzle/shooter hybrid and all, but if it does it will be sick.

My steamname is anotherfourteen.

Huh? Almost everyone has a shotgun.

for anyone interested: Steam community ID : Inhert

I mainly playing Team fortress 2 lately ^^

since this is a thread about Steam, I bought the orange box and now I have 2 gift to give which ar Half-Life 2 and HL2: episode 1. Since all my friends already have them, if anyone is interested by one or both of those game I can give them to you (yes for free >.>).

just PM me, I'll take the first one to pm me, but in the same time I'll check if it's an active member or not...

Guess I'll join in too. ID: sonictehhedgehog

The only games I play on there are Counter-Strike: Source, The Hidden: Source, and Goldeneye: Source.

I joined a while ago, so I'm already in the community, but my ID is Strife

come play TF2 with me!

wanderingroninjin is mine. Been playing a rediculous amount of TF2 lately. For some reason I'm just really damn addicted to it. Anyways, the more the merrier! Look my up, or I might just add you all!

I thought I posted mine ages ago. Anyway, it's grawl_NL.

Bought the mighty Orange Box yesterday and I've been playing some TF2. ID is Elmoogle.

Sign me up!!

Didnt even know that this was here. I'm been playing TF2 like a maniac lately when I pull my head out of Portal achievements.

SteamID = TheReverend

My ID is fnool.

I'm Krelian, ignore the stupid gimmick name.

I just remembered I have Steam, so I dunno, hit me up sometime,
but let me know who you are, since I don't want random people just inviting
me to friends list or whatever.

ID = MrShinra

I'll probably make my account more interesting to look at after I actually go BUY the Orange Box.

I mostly play TF2 these days, my ID is Juanzen, add me if you feel like it, no problem having more people you know to play with.

Steam ID is pofcorn, I play TF2 pretty much daily.

I also have a gift available for HL2. PM me.

I'm on there as Yggdrasill, but I don't have TF2... yet. Hopefully gonna pick up the Orange Box soon, cause Portal is awesome.

I am Saxypunch.

Come on and get stabbed in the neck.

Hey I haven't been added to the OP. :(

Its probably your joke name, or something:

GFF PERSON: "THIS IS MY FRIEND, SHITFLAP!"

FRIEND: "..."

GFF PERSON: "WHAT?"

FRIEND: "...GFTO MY STEAM!"

GFF PERSON: " ;____; "

Of course all you need to do it mearly mention Halo's xbox live "experience" and
shitflap will seem as tame as a lamb.

---

Or it could be that the OP didn't get to your name yet.

PICK A THEORY, BOTH ARE FREE WITH TWO MAIL-IN COUPONS!

Update: I'm now known as Free.User. (I swear steam wouldn't let me enter that before...)

Ah my bad, I thought I put you up there.


Also wanted to apologize for my lack of being online (in Steam), I've been busy.
I play TF2 every so often but it might not even say that I'm on because I have to disable friends and the overlay. Some gay conflict between AVG and the Orange Box games makes it crash if I don't.

I won't be online for a while. Campus network dislikes Steam.

I'm new to this whole Steam thing, after picking up The Orange Box today.

I'm MervBurger.

See, it's like my (normal) username here, except without the space!

(TF2 so good)

Thanks to an act of charity, I'm on Steam as Sakabadger. Just a word of warning (or curiosity) people have been getting "bokyung_suh" as a result back when they search for my name. Dunno if that's me or not, but whatever.

Played my first game(s) earlier with Juan. It was fun! I got hit by a train.

Matt, any chance you can get our Group page to display our gameplay stats over on the right? I've only seen a few groups do it, but it should be possible.

As far as I know there's no way to post stats up in the group page. I just double checked and didn't see any option to do so.
What groups have stats enabled? Maybe if I saw it done I'd know what to look for in the admin page.

Ah, apparently it only works if your group is private, and perhaps only as long as it's under a certain number of members. Take, for example, these poor fools who have played a combined total of 286.1 hours of Counter-Strike this week (and two of them haven't even played it much).

I joined the group as well.

Also, I plan on working on some TF2 mods that would help out one of them is an XMP type mod. THe other is a deathmatch type mod. I could use a little help getting it started though. I need to learn how to use the Source tools.

There's very little actual activity in the group itself, huh. :(

I randomly joined a game once with Adol and I play with Juan on occasion, but I never really see anyone else (the other seem to be in 4chan srvars all the time).

What's the chat thing, just a regular chat room?

Yeah it's just like a regular IRC chat.

As for group activity, I'd love to organize some stuff but I'm not sure if there's much interest in, say, all of us invading some server and playing TF2 or CSS.
Post some ideas in here if you want to organize something. I'm all for it if we can get enough people.

I've never tried hosting a server we can play on, but I think I probably have the hardware to handle it. We could try it.

I'll join.

Sonus = Private Sonus

I play CS:S & DoD:S mainly. Sometimes Natural Selection and TFC. No Orange Box yet.

Anyone with TF2 who doesn't have the "With Friends Like These..." achievement (and even those who do,) want to help a bunch of people get it?

Just got "Grey Matter" today, so now the friends achievement is the only one I'm missing.

(in before xbox360 kid)

Yeah sure. We tried before, but it didn't seem to work. If we can get a massive group though, and make sure everyone is on each other's friend list, we should be OK.

It would be nice if Steam would do something with the achievements, like gaining points that can be used to put towards Steam purchases.

You know that'd really be a shame for me, since my stats/achievements are broken, during one of the patches world traveller and head of the class just locked down, it's starting to piss me off by now to be honest, but what can you do.

I'm down for trying that.

What was the stats on that thing, like less than 3% of people have that achievement?

Yeah, only about 2.1% of users have that achievement.

That, and more fun TF2 stats

Wow. Those death maps are great. I love how all the deaths on 2fort are clustered in those sniper areas.

Yeah that's pretty hilarious. I never venture out in that area in 2fort, I'm always going underneath in the water to get to the others' base.

Observations on those statistics: Pubfags People don't give melee weapons enough love. BONESAW IS READYYYYY

I find it a bit weird that there are so many deaths in the first attackers' respawn on Dustbowl, since TF2 lets you change class without suiciding unlike old-school TFC.

Also, if anyone cares, I changed my name to It's Not Lupus. (period included in the name, much to the annoyance of game-monitor.com)

I think you may have to change your class inside the spawn area, otherwise, the character will commit suicide instead.

Eh...you might as well add me to the list. I don't play much though and the only thing I do play is CS:S, but I suck at it.

freelancewolf -- Reno

It's one of those names I just choose randomly for fun only to end up using it 'cause I was too lazy to change it again.

Just got Orange Box for Christmas, so after I build my new computer I'll be ready to play with you guys (as well as finally seeing what's so amazing about Portal).

Portal is overrated, but fun. Don't have too high of standards.

Additional Spam:
Sorry for the double post, but there's a Steam sale. 10 to 50 percent off!

Portal's amazing because it's different. A good kind of different.

It's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it's definitely good for what it does, a first-person (shooter) puzzle game.

I'm not sure if this is anywhere in the thread, but can anyone tell me who *A-B*WanderingJin is? They added me to their friends list and I accepted, but I can't really recall who that is (though I've seen the name around).

That'd be me. I just kinda started adding everyone from the GFF steam group to my friends list so it would be easier to see if anyone is playing.

Sorry about that!

Ah, no worries. I just didn't recognize you because your steam ID in the topic post is a bit different.

I picked up the Orange box a couple days ago.
STEAM ID: rosagigantea

Bet you've already done enough level grinding to be ahead of everyone else. :mad:

Rockstar apparently made a deal to have a bunch of their games that had PC releases put on Steam.

So if you for some reason haven't played any of the GTAs, Max Paynes or Manhunt, you can redeem yourself now by buying them.

They currently have a bunch of bundles right now:

Max Payne Bundle ($14.95)
Max Payne
Max Payne 2

Grand Theft Auto Collection ($29.95)
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto 2
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Rockstar Collection ($59.95 discount price of $53.95 until 01/11)
Grand Theft Auto Collection
Max Payne Collection
Manhunt
Midnight Club 2
Wild Metal

Supposedly there's some region locking right now, so it's possible people outside of the US could be getting less (or nothing at all) currently.

Sounds pretty worth it if you haven't played any of the games and want to on the PC. (It is worth noting that Rockstar offers GTA, GTA 2 and Wild Metal for free themselves if you just want those.)

Can someone please tell me why the logging of your stats in TF2 is destroyed, it's annoying.

I know for a fact that I had, like, at least 20+ kills on a single sentry but it's only showing 8. It doesn't make sense because I even have the achievement.

I'm actually surprised there isn't a TF2 thread. There's one for the 360, but well you know.

That usually happens after steam does an update. A similar problem happened to me when I had the sentry achievement, but the next day or so it was gone, but I still had the sentry kill stats on record. There really isn't a way to get it back except redo it again especially when SPY'S SAPPIN MAH SENTRY all the time.

Meant to post here for ages, especially when I noticed a couple of people on the list played on the vidya servers. I think it was MervBurger and someone else.

My steam ID: Wakatu

Holy cow, sup waka? Haven't see you around in ages. =o

Portal: First Slice is free for all NVIDIA Gamers
ATi Steam Offer

I haven't noticed this before.... O__o

lol that's lame because the portal: first slice is only a demo of portal and all the other things are already free items that you can get on steam >.>

Just beat HL2 tonight, have to say I'm a little disappointed in the story development and all that stuff. Is it fleshed out a bit more in Episodes 1 and 2?

Also been playing TF2, enjoying it quite a bit, though I have to say I'm missing grenades quite a bit (and spies seem to be even more annoying now than before).

The story does get a bit better during Ep. 1 and 2, although I haven't really finished Ep. 2 yet. You do spend a lot of time with Alyx though ;)

haha when I first started TF2 no nades were kinda odd, but I think it's better off this way. Really in TFC that was the only thing you used to kill, spam nades, especially when you're spamming them on respawns. No more conc jumping on dustbowl. Spies are beastly of friendly fire servers. Where do you play RR?

I've just been hopping around to random servers. Only actually played four times so far, but now that I finished playing HL2 I might start playing TF2 a bit more. Any servers you guys have found to be really good?

Also, the other thing that keeps tripping me up is the medic's new weapon. A number of times I've charged into people hoping to poison them only to realize I just have that shitty needle gun. Then I'll just switch to the shovel and start slamming people. :p

Come fight me on Melee Mountain! I'll whack you around a bit with my fists of death.

We might be starting up a GFF game of TF2 soon if anyone wants to join. Come to the group chat room if you're interested.

Hopefully the "Last Five Posts" feature helps people see this.

Sounds fantastic! I should be there soon.

Ack. Well, we had a server until a moment ago. I don't know what we're going to do now.

My Steam ID is: Guru IQ

I have TF2 and Audiosurf.

I got Audiosurf last night, and holy shit this game rocks and I can't even get high scores on obscure songs oh my god what the fuck.

My name's fnool on it (same as SteamID).

(you started that TF2 game an hour after I went to bed :()

Camcleod99

I have Portal and Goldeneye:source, that's it.

You can find me with my creatively named Steam ID of Rollins. Just joined the group.

I've mostly been playing TF2 and Audiosurf recently, but I've been having fun playing older games with Steam as well.

Ah, there was TF2 action to be had? I'm down for the next round, if I happen to be around.

Anyone care for some fun with Garry's Mod 10 tomorrow night perhaps? :D

CobaltCrucible. But only playing Audiosurf.

Why am I not on this list. =o

IdleChill - IdleChill

Game's to catch me on~:

* Counter Strike <-- 3rd favorite.
* Counter Strike: Sage <-- 4th favorite.
* Day of Defeat <-- favorite.
* Day of Defeat: Source <-- 2nd favorite.
* HL2: Deathmatch <-- 5th favorite.
* AudioSurf (if you can count that...) <-- meh.

Hey gang.
If anyone wants to have admin over the group, hit me up with a PM. I'm a lot busy with school and work at the moment, but since we have enough members to organize a good sized event I'm thinking we need some people to post announcements and get the ball rolling.

So anyone that plays on Steam a lot and want to maybe communicate with the group via Group Announcements let me know!

I nominate StarmanDX based on the number of times I see his name pop up on my task bar as playing a Steam game.

I second that motion! Starman has some fine organizational skills if the Urban Dead thing we had going on a couple of years ago is any indication.

Steam Name = ImmortalRane.

I only play CS/CS:Source though. Usually private pugs and such but I'm down for some deathmatch at times :)

I'd certainly like to try my hand at it, but don't forget that we can have multiple admins if anyone else does as well.

I haven't been playing TF2 as much as of late, but the overhaul should revitalize my interest when it finally comes out. And maybe we'll get a weekly TF/CS/DM thing going on Fridays/Saturdays.

OK I'll set StarmanDX up with admin, but we can have more admins like he said, so if you want to help drop a line or something.

Mah Steam ID = Grail-ums

Not on too often, but every now and then I get a hankerin to play CS:S or TF2

Oh, I guess it's time for an update. I have TF2 now and I just came back from a several-hour long session. It's quite fun. I'm getting to be much better at the game, with 26 points and two achievements ;3 Sadly I can't play during the weekdays.

Maybe someday I'll play with you guys :3

Since we apparently don't have a general TF2 (aside from the Beta one) or Orange Box thread and I don't want to start a new one just for this, I'm putting these here (since it should interest most of us here anyways). First, an update from a couple days ago that I nearly missed:

HOLY FREAKING CRAP YES, FINALLY.

And the other, supposedly an email from Robin Walker of Valve noting the canning of the Medic Overhealer:
source

On the plus side a pyro buff would be nice, especially in pyro vs. soldier.

ID's Xilanne, but I only play Audiosurf. I don't know if that'll ever change. :erm:
