[Multiplatform] Left 4 STOP THROWING PIPE BOMBS AT THE TANKS

That was hilarious. It was really weird though; I guess because you were standing right next to them, when you threw the rock it looked like you just held on to it and slammed it down on her head.

I also liked that time I was the smoker and managed to pull you all the way down the stairs back into the safe room on NM 5, and your team didn't notice until they reached the elevator shaft

How ya doing, buddy?

In case anyone hadn't noticed, the game has a free 24-hour demo up until sometime late Friday on Steam. Since we now have a PC (laptop actually) that can play games for the first time ever, I checked it out and everything runs good (medium to maxed settings), and the game is on sale this weekend for $24 on Steam, so I'll probably double-dip on PC. I'll have to doublecheck my Steam name, I can't remember if it's sailordaravon or mrdaravon.

As an aside, I discovered a nice little pull 2 nights ago on Dead Air 2, and I was able to fairly easily replicate it tonight again. It APPEARS to be a slight glitch, but I'm not sure, looking around online and posting it I couldn't find anyone else mention it.

On Dead Air 2 as the infected, at the start of the match the smoker can get up on the roof to the right, then jump up a ledge into the room with the window that is directly above where the Survivors come out. Stand as far out as you can on the ledge, and you'll see the fire escape on the left. Wait for the survivors to jump the fence and climb up the fire escape, and pull the last one as he's going up the ladder. If you pull a survivor there, it pulls them straight across to you, with NO vertical drop, over the fence on your side. As far as I can tell since you're barely on the ledge, the tongue is dragging across the windowsills between you and the fire escape maybe? It's worked easily both times, and since the Survivors can't get back across the fence, you can easily coordinate a distraction or teaming up on that guy and kill him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I picked it up on Steam, my Steam tag is Mr Daravon if anyone wants to add me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I wasn't able to add anybody from GAF without going to their profile screen, name searches never worked. Link to my profile:

I like how we've invited you repeatedly much earlier than that, but you're always busy with Saints Row 2, or you say you're about to get off but then you're on Saints Row 2 for another 45 minutes -_-.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Man, I was just about to post that idea as well; I'm off Sat-Mon, and I'm good about anytime, but I'll have to take up 4 slots.

How ya doing, buddy?

So we doing this shit? Me, Tails, Moo and LeHah had a good game last night, but unfortunately LeHah could not handle the trip to Daravon Town and got off unexpectedly. I'm about to make my dinner and I'll be on after (I'm sitting on the title screen). My gamertag is Mr Daravon if you don't have me on your list.

FELIPE NO

I am eating delicious sandwich right now, and will be on in a few (I think I'm just idling on the title screen right now). Goodhand/Kyndig said he might be down as well if we do it fairly shortly, since he has to be up at 5 for work.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Alright people, we're trying to get some peeps together for some action tonight; last night was mostly a bust, and Tritoch was having connection issues (but we still made the other team ragequit anyway). I know that at least myself, LeHah and Tails are game later today at least, post or message one of us if you want to play (360). I think Tails has to work so we'd be looking at starting probably by 6-7 PM EST.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I like how me, LeHah, Tails and Kyndig made 3 ENTIRE TEAMS ragequit in a total of 4 rounds.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

PLAN B ENABLED
----------------
COMMENCE OPERATION "HE IS ALREADY DEAD"

Most amazing jew boots

It is completely amazing to me how often people ragequit in this game, frequently on the 2nd part of their first round, just because they didn't kill us.

Things that the rest of you fuckers have missed because no one else wants to play but me, Kyndig, Tails and Lehah, all off the top of my head and in the last week alone:

-Memorial day we attempted to play 4 games; we made 2 teams ragequit, the other 2 games we won by over 7000 points. This past Saturday it took us essentially 4 hours to complete one full game because we were making whole teams ragequit so quickly.

-Hilarious messages sent to rage quitters. These two guys quit out the 2nd part of the first round, and I sent them a message asking them if they quit in real life when things got hard, and one of them responded yes.

-Blood Harvest 4; I'm a Hunter at the beginning of the round. I get up on the cliffs to the right of the saferoom. I jump at the straggler, hit a tree WHICH CORRECTS MY AIM and I pounce on the guy for 25 damage. The rest of the team is slightly ahead and boomed on, and I flat out kill this guy and he quits, whose name is something like XxRarexXSkillzXx. I send him a message saying something along the lines of his skills being indeed "rare." His response: "thanks. ps I'm eleven years old" and then he sends me a friends request. I decline to dodge the federal watchlists.

-POSSIBLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN HAPPEN IN THIS GAME: Dead Air Finale, we're the survivors, and I'm on the turret. If you pull turret all the way to the left as far as it will go there's one of those baggage cart things that the Tank can hit. At some point I see the Boomer trying to get behind it, and he cuts behind it. Firing the turret, I push the cart (with the boomer still hiding behind it) all the way against the plane behind it, after a few more seconds the Boomer literally POPS dead from being squished.

-Where's Waldo bitch?

-Riveting discussion about how we should be able to buy new outfits for the special infected. My ideas were a foppish jester's hat for the Smoker, or a fake Alligator cap for the Boomer, so on Death Toll 2's crescendo event you could fool the survivors into thinking there's just a croc in the water.....OR IS IT?

-Taking people one-way rides to Daravon Town, population youuuuuuu

-As the infected on No Mercy 1, we forced two survivors to hold up in a closet in the building (pantry in the kitchen with the door that's on the 2nd floor down, before you drop down the hole) by booming on one of them, and then the other guy stuck with him apparently. What ensued was some of the best shit ever, as Kyndig (as the boomer) and me (as the smoker), kept them in there for like 2 minutes, since the other guys had apparently just bounced. Eventually while they were boomed at some point they made a run for it; I pulled the first one back, the other dude runs past him AND the boomer, and just totally jets, with Kyndig just chasing him as the boomer and slashing him. I think I killed the guy I pulled. We were all laughing so hard I almost gave myself an asthma attack, and Kyndig was asking Tails if he was crying because his laughter sounded like "deep sobbing."

-Death Toll; we get a team in the 4th round who attempts to start griefing by doing the holding up in the saferoom thing. Takes a while but we kill them. So the final round, I'm like fuck it, let's do the same. Before you go out into the street there's a trashcan on your left that you can knock over to jump on a shelf, to get on "top" of one of the little offices. Kyndig decides to fuck it and be a hero, and makes it past the houses before dying. Me, Lehah and Tails hold the top there for around forty-five minutes. After a while the other team starts just hunter jumping back and forth between the safe room (to our right), the street entrance (to our left) and the office beneath us. Then the Smoker would just start shambling along hilariously beneath us from room to room, and half the time we couldn't kill him because we were laughing so hard, which prompted Tails to utter something completely unintelligible for like 5 seconds, followed by "dawg" at the end which Lehah referenced above. And the whole time we are killing them, we're going out of our way to go back down for ammo, teabag them furiously, and turn our lights on and off repeatedly. I finish 2 beers, and the whole time Kyndig is watching Behind Enemy Lines. Finally we decided to just go for it once we're all down to like half health, and with me being the last person I made it to like 2 feet from starting the radio when they killed us. On their turn they tried to do something similar but failed miserably.

I mentioned this in game, but Tails' completely unintelligible thing followed by "dawg" completely reminds me (and sounds like) this:



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm probably stupid, but I'm drawing a blank on what you mean by guardhouse. Generally speaking any ninja boomer insanity is Kyndig. The only spectacular boom I can remember I've done lately is that Death Toll 1 one where I got the whole team right as the guy startled the witch.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh, the tower. I'm pretty sure that was Kyndig.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

We're playing on 360. I have it on PC but haven't played it there for a while, since 99% of my friends play on 360 . My user ID is posted earlier in this thread, I honestly don't remember what it is, I think it's Mr Daravon.

FELIPE NO

I find it hilarious that as I'm reading your post I see you online on UT3 on 360. Also are we playing tonight? I can call Tails and Kyndig and find out what the fuck is going on.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It doesn't hurt our feelings or anything

To be fair, I've owned a gaming-capable PC for about 2 months, and it's a laptop my wife has been on 24/7 basically. I bought L4D on PC when it was half off a month or two ago on Steam, and I've played it like once

Also you suck Tails. I'm so waking your ass up at like 3PM tomorrow. Normally I'd say if Moo's around LeHah we could try to rope him in, and I can Kyndig a call and see what's up, or if anybody else wants to play (ON 360 HUR HUR) we can meet up. Moo just got off though (hi-yo), but we can probably get a crew together sometime tonight maybe?


Edit: Kyndig said he'd be willing to get on if we had a full crew, so if LeHah is game we'd need at least one more.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

He's a WEEKEND WARRIOR man; he's off tomorrow. He said he would be willing to get on in about an hour though, and that was a half hour ago or so, so if you're hopping on for a game in about a half hour that'd work out. If you're going to get on for a game let me know and I'll give him a call back. Edit: Called him back, he says he'll get on when he's done cooking, probably in about 20-30 minutes.

How ya doing, buddy?

We need to actually plan a set time/date, not that usually seems to bring us any better luck getting a group. It sounds like the plan for tomorrow is 4PM or so, since the 4 of us will be around, it'll be after the Microsoft E3 conference for me and Tails said he'd be up by then. I know Moo said he had to work, but we can probably rope in some other people, I'll harass Skills or something.

How ya doing, buddy?

However, if you guys can find someone else instead of waiting around an hour, I won't take offense.

See!? All your talk about how you're ready anytime, then you pull this shit.

No but seriously, we can do 5. The only time that was mentioned was 4 because Tails said we had to give him at least until then to wake up or whatever. So we will plan for 5 PM today.

I think it's a little soon, but if l4d2 merge with the first one (a little like an expansion) than I guess it doesn't matter...

how dare they deliver a sequel to my favorite game with 5 completely new campaigns and other additions and fixes

i have only played L4D for over a 100 hours for my $50 dollars, Valve is @$$raping us wtf

help i'm falling

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't even want to talk about the first two rounds, that shit was un-fucking-playable for me. It stopped on the last round when the two dudes were holding up in the saferoom, so I don't know if I was having some sort of specific issue with one of the other guys or what. Probably with big titties.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's weird, because I used to have that problem just occasionally, but over the past week or so every single game we've played I have not heard the tank music at all, and it's fucked me (and the team) a couple times because of it. GOD FORBID Kyndig call it out when it starts after I ask like 5 times. I think LeHah said he was having it happen sometimes now too?

FELIPE NO

I like how I managed to leave LeHah, Kyndig and Tails at the very beginning of Blood Harvest 4 and I fully ran the level and made it into the safe room in probably less than a minute, while they all died.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually we never played because Moo completely disappeared. Literally, he was in the middle of saying something in party chat, went offline, and never reappeared. I'm currently taking bets on the under/over on if he lost power, or if he drowned in gravy. So I got to listen to Skills rage to Kyndig for like 30 minutes about why Mass Effect 2 sucked, why Bioware sucks in general, and why he hates everything in life.

Spoiler:

You're still a dick though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
