The NEW NPF Steam Game Night Extravaganza Funtimes Party Thread

[akaSM]

How do I join the server?

Do you mean me server that's filled with silliness and OP weapons? As long as it's up, anyone can join using the 3 letter password that you should know about. If you don't know it, shame on you D:.

Also my steam is working just fine :/

The server will be online if people ask for it, right now that means, mostly on the NPF weekend nights.

Not if grenades are affected by gravity the same way that Huntsman arrows and needlegun ammo are. They're ... depressingly ineffective in low/no/high gravity because their trajectory arc is changed, and Huntsman Sniper can't fire at all when he's in air or hovering around in noclip.
It also hurts weapons that are reliant on splash damage or just being able to use surfaces for any reason in general, so soldiers and demomen have a hard time dealing damage without some amazing accuracy, and everyone's speed and mobility takes a hit while in the air, leaving scouts vulnerable.

The heavy, however, mostly just continues on as normal. Except airborne. He can't eat sandvich when in the air, though, so there's that.

I play on low grav all the time. That's the easy part.

POS IS THE BIGGEST PUSSY EVER TO PLAY TF2!

RANDOM DUDE FROM THE INTERNET DECLARED IT SO, THEREFORE IT MUST BE TRUE!

[Aldurin]

I read it as L4D the first time.

[lazy man]

POS IS THE BIGGEST PUSSY EVER TO PLAY TF2!

RANDOM DUDE FROM THE INTERNET DECLARED IT SO, THEREFORE IT MUST BE TRUE!

I WAS THERE AND CONFIRM THIS. IT IS EXTREMELY TRUE.

[Ramary]

I SECOND SAID MOTION.

[akaSM]

I SECOND SAID MOTION.

I WASN'T THERE BUT, THERE'S NO WAY WHAT THEY SAID ISN'T TRUE

Also, I formatted my laptop because it's been a while since I did that. I'm downloading and reinstalling every game >_>...oh, I did backup my games but, I misclicked something and the backups were in the HD I formatted so yeah.

I hope I have at least one of the games we play by tomorrow.

My favorite part was that I had more points than him, left the server, came back, joined the opposing team, lost, and still managed to reacquire more points than him by the time he ragequit.

The lesson here is that, not only am I the biggest pussy ever, but being the biggest pussy ever works!

[Arcanum]

Hey Aldurin:

Fixed missing skybox in Blood Harvest with low shader settings

No more horrifying purple/black checkerboard sky :(

[Bells]

I'm coming in this weekend. everybody is going to die. EVERYBODY.

Yes, you! i'm coming for you too!

except my team though, can't kill that.

[Aldurin]

I liked creepy sky . . .

[Aldurin]

Prototype is on sale for 10 bucks until a little over two hours right now. If you love amazing action gameplay and don't have high standards on story when the gameplay is good then this is the game for you.

[Azisien]

I haven't been on Steam Nights in a while because of a variety of reasons including TW: Shogun 2 VIOLATING ME.

But I've been craving some Left 4 Dead 2. Can we get some L4D2 action going?

Edit: Oh I meant on the weekend of course.

[akaSM]

Guess which laptop is dead? I hope it's not mine but, It won't turn on and the charger's light turns off as soon as I plug it into my laptop :(

I'll call Dell support tomorrow to see what can be done and the potential cost of doing so.

I've tried everything I can but, there's no sign of life :<

[akaSM]

So, I'm officially off the Steam Game Nights. Repairing my laptop isn't worth it, it's around 1/2 of what a new (good gaming) laptop would cost. Anything beyond a netbook's capacity will be off limits for some years :(

[Aldurin]

So who ya'lls coming to game with us? I only see 4 other people in the chat right now and we're missing a few regulars.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Won't have much access to Steam beyond my mom's old laptop for break, and I have a LOT of updates to apply on it.

[Jagos]

Oh my gods... I am nearly invincible with my new laptop. NEVER AGAIN DO I HAVE TO SUFFER LAG KILLS.

On a side note, I HATE snipers...

[POS Industries]

On a side note, I HATE snipers...
Then that means you have a soul.

Also I am in the process of downloading Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. If anyone else has it, we could always have some fight nights over the weekend.

[Doc ock rokc]

yeah this weekend im deuing something that's ex computer you know some thing with humans, to improve social evolution...Oh who am i kidding.

[Jagos]

Then that means you have a soul.

Also I am in the process of downloading Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. If anyone else has it, we could always have some fight nights over the weekend.

I've been practicing... Hakan is hard to play on a controller...

[Aldurin]

I might be on, if I can stop being economically stressed out by Recettear long enough to play something else.

I mean, fuck that fairy that will only pay less that 110% of base price, fuck that con artist that tries to sell me ridiculously expensive crap for even more ridiculous prices. Fuck that one rival girl for not showing up enough to buy all of my expensive shit without complaint. And fuck those people that keep selling me expensive fruit as soon as my profit starts building up.

[Jagos]

You should have avoided the con artist...

The fairy, go for 105% first, then slowly work your way up with her.

Make the place extremely gaudy for your rival to show up.

And start with 95% as a general rule.

[Arcanum]

I have a rule when it comes to Recettear: If you don't like my prices or my offers, you can go fuck yourself. Considering I'm making consistent profit while meeting payment deadlines, I think it works rather well.

But seriously, fuck that little girl who comes along, wants to buy one of the most expensive things in my store, and then is like "oh no I don't have enough money, hahahaha I'm wasting your time." Suffice to say she doesn't get much from my store, but she still keeps coming back and I hate her.

[Aldurin]

I really hate it when I get a bunch of shit when most everybody's budget is lower than that, sort of like getting that vase worth 21k during the first week.

For price fluctuations, I love them and hate them. When the value of something goes up and I already have a ton of it, I can easily double my weekly goal, but then if the price goes down I have to resort to stockpiling cheap stuff from every category so that I don't get screwed too hard when people come in and request that item.

And fusion is awesome early on, when I first gained access I was able to make two Azure Necklaces and sell them for a nice profit to that rich girl.

For adventurers I already have the thief and the mage in green robes, but I don't want to waste half a day on a weaker dungeon just to level them up. Do you have any strategies or preferences, or should I go Louie all the way?

[Flarecobra]

I'll be moving this weekend, so you all will be without "Flare Finds Random Crap." entertainment. Sorry. Hopefully I can also get my computer up and running with a new power supply so I can play again too.

[Specterbane]

Good luck Flare, at least you will be without the hurricane we've got out east.

See, with Recettear I tried selling at reasonable prices (110%-115% being the highest I'd go usually) and I kicked ass, many times having enough left over after making a payment to pay the next payment if they would've let me. The key to that was to take advantage of crafting items and the larger store size you get by jumping levels so damn quick.

[Aldurin]

I would always start at 125% for anyone I knew wasn't unreasonable (generic man will take that price, and many people usually will too, and if they don't then just drop to 115%) and then go 130 for the Guildmaster and that rich girl.

The guy in charge of the merchants guild is the true loser in this deal, since he'll come in and order two weapons two days later, so the next day I go buy 2 weapons from him which I then sell back the next day for a really nice margin.

It's puzzling how I'm expected to pull millions from such a small town, especially perplexing when adventurers buy items that cost ten times what I pay to hire them. Oh yeah, adventurers lose on this deal too, since they spend what I paid them on stuff I found on their adventure.

[Aldurin]

Borderlands and its DLC's are 75% off for the weekend, could make a good steam game night possibility (I do need to beat the game with a class that isn't Soldier).

[Arcanum]

It's like Steam wants me to buy this goddamn game again. This is like the third or fourth time it's gone on sale. I might cave... I dunno... we'll see what happens...

[Aldurin]

It's like 11 bucks for the whole thing, I'd buy it but after finding out I need to build a gaming computer before I can play Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I'm reluctant on the offchance I'd have to wait to play it.

[MuMu]

I might be on, if I can stop being economically stressed out by Recettear long enough to play something else.

I mean, fuck that fairy that will only pay less that 110% of base price, fuck that con artist that tries to sell me ridiculously expensive crap for even more ridiculous prices. Fuck that one rival girl for not showing up enough to buy all of my expensive shit without complaint. And fuck those people that keep selling me expensive fruit as soon as my profit starts building up.

Arma, Prime and Little Girls are the only troubling ones. Go for 103% with them. Don't make your shop too gaudy and you'll avoid the scammer most of the time(And won't make Louis ashamed of browsing your store). With everyone else, go wild, 110%-125% and double that for Red Items(Half for blue, of course).

Unless the costumer asks for a item that isn't on the counters, then you're screwed and need to sell it for around 70%. Always keep a small stock of the cheapest item of each type for such occasion.

[Aldurin]

It seems like the closer I get to Merchant Level 15, which gives vending machines (as close the the second panel of this as it's gonna get).
http://mkv25.net/anime/Recettear/capatalism_ho_thundercats_ho_nerfnow.png

I gotta say I love the robot chick (probably a nod towards Xenosaga, given the style) for her utter lack of haggling skills.

The only thing the game needs is a "get the fuck out of my store" option during a transaction for when the fairy or con artist enter.

[POS Industries]

I've been practicing... Hakan is hard to play on a controller...
Yeah, I currently suck. Best character is Juri.

So, you know. I suuuuuuuuck.

[Jagos]

Ok... The con artist.

Restart your game. NEVER go to the town square during the afternoon and meet her. When you get $100K in pix, that's when you avoid the center like the plague. The thing is, she sometimes has some really good rare items. The fairy is just a bitch. Make the place light and she stops coming around as much.

-E- POS, I'm not much better... I just refuse to use Shotoclones.

[POS Industries]

POS, I'm not much better... I just refuse to use Shotoclones.
Same. The only exception I'm making on that one is occasionally trying out Dan because lolDan.

[Aldurin]

Ok... The con artist.

Restart your game. NEVER go to the town square during the afternoon and meet her. When you get $100K in pix, that's when you avoid the center like the plague. The thing is, she sometimes has some really good rare items.

Nah, I'm already too far in to want to restart now, I'll just give her the standard "fuck you" 1 pix offer whenever she stops by to bullshit.

I'll probably do my extreme uber-rich run afterwards once I know everything there is to know about to how to earn the money of the payment 3 weeks away and still get everyone to level 99.

[Jagos]

Just played SFIV...

Because fuck you Seth, all your cheap ass tactics on EASY, and your shotocloning Ryu's Shoryuken for just thinking about jumping!

[Aerozord]

of my store" option during a transaction for when the fairy or con artist enter.

agreed, that being said she isn't AS BAD as she seems. You can haggle but she is still unreasonable.

Fairy, its just her attitude really. I dont mind being forced to sell things for abit less, especially since her boss will pay through the nose for crap, so it balances. But like even if you make a profit she is so condescending I still feel like slapping her.

[Aldurin]

New deal on steam, Garry's Mod and Counterstrike: Source together for 6.70-something. That's like 33% off of G-mod and the other game thrown in for free.

[POS Industries]

Just played SFIV...

Because fuck you Seth, all your cheap ass tactics on EASY, and your shotocloning Ryu's Shoryuken for just thinking about jumping!
Shit son, what til you deal with him on hard, AKA "I don't care what attack you're doing, I'm gonna grab you anyway, hit you with the shoryuken, and then Zangief piledrive you because fuck you, that's why."

Or his stupid "become a part of me" ultra. Yes, it is easily avoided if you're able to jump over him the second he hits it, but good luck being in a position to do that when he breaks it out on medium or higher.

EDIT: Hahaha, speaking of shotoclones, I have so far had only two matches online against people using something other than shotos. The one guy running away and constantly hiding in the corner with Oni and Akuma was the most hilarious couple scenes I've experienced so far.

[Aldurin]

Today's deal is Steel Storm: Burning Retribution for 2.49 for the next 21-ish hours. I would totally jump on this deal if my laptop supported OpenGL.

[Aldurin]

Just tried to try CrimeCraft: Bleedout, a FPS MMO that's free on Steam.

Guess what, don't even bother downloading it.

They only have TWO SERVERS, and each one has a waiting list exceeding 1000 people. I was going to wait it out at least once to see how it was, but I checked some reviews calling it mediocre and decided it wasn't worth it.

[Jagos]

I had tried it but now I know to delete it. Thanks.

[DarkDrgon]

Its on the line between Terrible and so average its meh. I didn't hate it, and for free I'll play it when I'm bored/tired of TF2, then bored of Any of the Star Wars games I have... and Civ 3.

yeah, i'm gonna put this in the minecraft group for now. fun for a day or so, but didn't hold up (though, I haven't played minecraft since just before the nether update)

[Pip Boy]

Minecraft doesn't even vaguely resemble what it was before the nether update anymore. They've added a bajillion items and next month* they're implementing new dungeons and villages and NPCs and stuff.

*There is no official release date set for this update as of yet.

[batgirl]

So...I just got Steam. I don't intend on paying for anything just yet and I honestly have no idea how to play TF2, but I'm willing to learn. I'm currently studying for my protocol test but come two weeks, I'll be free.

[akaSM]

Hey Batgirl, you can start by joining this (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NPFU). If you want more games, I got an extra copy of Beat Hazard (http://store.steampowered.com/app/49600) and Terraria (http://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/).

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I have a free guest copy of Portal left over from preordering the sequel, if you want that as well.

[rpgdemon]

Also, why don't we play that free game Alien Swarm? I've been playing it with some friends, and it's fun!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

That's true, I've been meaning to try that with actual multiplayer.

[Jagos]

I... totally forgot I had it...

-E- BTW, is Borderlands worth it? I have the game, but debating on the DLC...

[Arcanum]

The zombie DLC is just a few extra areas, some extra quests, and a few extra bosses, non of which are hard. It's kind of "meh" overall, so I don't really recommend it.

Moxie's Arena gives you 3 or 4 (I forget) arenas to fight in. You can get bonus skillpoints by beating the arenas, but they are a huge pain to do solo. Also any kills in the arena don't give you EXP, nor do they increase your weapon proficiencies. It also gives you an item bank to store your items. If you really want an item back, grab this, otherwise I don't recommend it.

Knoxx's Armory is pretty fantastic. It gives you a few new areas, new vehicles, some awesome boss fights, increases the level cap, AND has a crazy post-end-game boss that takes either a shitton of patience luck and skill to beat, or a very good team. It also introduces new super duper rare "Pearl" items, that are allegedly better than Orange items. The only downfall is there's only one fast-travel beacon, so you'll spend a decent amount of time driving on these elevated highways between areas, but the new vehicles kind of makes up for that. Totally recommend this.

I don't have much to say on Clap Trap's Revolution since I never got around to playing through it all the way on my 360.

[Aldurin]

It's fun, but very slow paced, and the constant enemy respawn gets really annoying when they're at such low levels that it isn't even worth the ammo to shoot them. I've tried a couple of the DLC's and they're fun.

For how cheap it is now? Totally worth it.

E: @Arc, the boss was supposed to be hard? Then again I just took my time spamming transfusion grenades with my Grenadier-skilled soldier, then blasting it with whatever I had in my inventory that was worth shooting. Knoxx's armory is my favorite DLC by far.

[Jagos]

Alright, I'll get just Knoxx's Armory. I'm not all interested in playing now, but I'll take a cheapo set or something.

$7.49 for the entire thing? YOINK!

[Arcanum]

E: @Arc, the boss was supposed to be hard? Then again I just took my time spamming transfusion grenades with my Grenadier-skilled soldier, then blasting it with whatever I had in my inventory that was worth shooting. Knoxx's armory is my favorite DLC by far.

Crawmerax? On Playthrough 2? At level 61? (Thus making him 64 or 65 I think) (This was before the free level boost. haven't gotten to level 69 and tried, but considering the scaling he would probably he harder)

'Cause he can kill my tank-spec'ed Berserker rather easily (and I'm too lazy to get the proper guns to deal with him).

[Aldurin]

Oh, I never got to max level, I was dealing with him when I was 40 or 50-ish.

[Arcanum]

So Achron (http://store.steampowered.com/app/109700/?snr=1_4_4__13) is out, that time-traveling RTS game. Only it costs $30. Not sure how I feel about that since there isn't even a demo.

[rpgdemon]

Ick, that voiceacting made me cringe. Sound quality, and acting quality.

[Aldurin]

I'm really iffy on this too, maybe if it goes insanely cheap during the holiday sale.

[batgirl]

Played the demo for Space Marines. I wasn't impressed, definite control issues IMO.

[Kerensky287]

My problem with Space Marine was less that the controls had issues and more that there was no depth whatsoever.

Chainsword melee combos, copied directly from the Command List in the demo:

1) Right-click.

2) Right-click, right-click.

3) Right-click, right-click, right-click.

4) Right-click, right-click, right-click, right-click.

You can also add F to the end of any of these for a stun attack.

The combat knife, power axe and thunderhammer combo lists are IDENTICAL.

That is how deep this game is.

[MuMu]

So, Dynasty Warriors 40k?

[Shyria Dracnoir]

The Baconing now Available on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/18070)

Not much in the way of multiplayer but looks like a hilarious little Diablo-type adventure game.

[batgirl]

I downloaded TF2 and played through the training modes. I'll have to practice some more, but I'm looking forward to an NPF TF2 night.

[Azisien]

We still need to play some Left 4 Dead.

Heads up to peeps that Dead Island is coming out soon. I tried it out. Probably going to be some solid co-op fun to be had. First person Dead Rising with Borderlands/Fallout vibes. I probably won't get it at launch but hey.

I noticed Puzzle Pirates is F2P now. Pretty fun game, or it used to be years ago when I played the beta. We should make a Nuklear crew.

Puzzle Pirates Ocean: I made a dude on Malachite.

[batgirl]

I don't want to pay for L4D and I've never play puzzle pirates but I will certainly take a look.

[Aldurin]

My decision on buy dead island will hinge on when I get a better computer and when it goes on sale, I already have 2 games in my steam list that my laptop can't handle.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Same. My desktop struggles with From Dust and I'm concerned other games might be the same.

Though that could also be due to the fact that for some byzantine reason I have to run Steam AND Ubisoft's separate authenticator at the same time. It won't let me open the game through anything but Steam, but then I also have to enter the Ubisoft info. If there's any way to fix this let me know.

[Ramary]

Wait for patch that will all but remove the ubisoft DRM (apparently).

It will be out...eventually.

[Azisien]

Puzzle Pirates is pretty good casual fun. Slowly saving up money for a ship. Boy did they ever micro-transaction the shit out of this game. Being a pirate is still fun though.

Protip: shift+tab for steam overlay does seem to crash the game [though it's not fullscreen]. Boo.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Gathering people in the group chat for Nuklear Power Forums Unlimited right now. Jump on in!

[Aldurin]

Dammit, you guys left early. Just to check, will anyone still be up for games past 10 pm PST? That's the earliest I'll be able to play since work is an asshole for timing.

[Jagos]

Anyone on right now?

[Aldurin]

I am.

[Jagos]

I've got TF2 on the brain for 30 minutes unless there's something else that's good...

[Aldurin]

After failing to find a decent server on Killing Floor I've kinda been put off from multiplayer for tonight (I mean holy shit the team on farm stood out in the open while moving away from the trader). And with TF2 I'll only play on the skial servers unless there's at least 5 other NPF guys willing to play.

[Aldurin]

Civ 5 is 75% off for the weekend, anyone recommend it?

[Jagos]

I wish i could say it's my cup of tea, but it's not...

However from what I know, it's a highly recommended game.

[Ramary]

Ah Civ, now that is my kind of game.

Yeah, go ahead and get it. Be warned that post-release support for it has been on the crappy side, overpriced DLC that's pretty much on the meh side. Some people may think Civ4: Beyond the Sword is better, and it is in some regards, but Civ 5 still does a lot of things right, and if you never played a civ game before it should not matter much.

[mauve]

Played around with Puzzle Pirates a bit. Some of the games are pretty fun, but carpentry can go die in a fire.

I dunno if free players can make pirate crews, but if they can, the NPF totally needs to form a mighty band of pirates to sail the seas and make carpentry minigames die in a fire.

Also, is anyone going to be online this evening for some gaming? L4D, TF2, Champions, Spiral Knights or otherwise?

Edit: Also, I don't know how many people play Global Agenda, but I have a level 16 or 17 Assault Class and a level 12 Recon.

[Azisien]

I spent all of last night wishing people were on for some Left 4 Dead action. Had a few great Versus games over the past week and it just keeps pulling me back in!

As for Puzzle Pirates, they basically changed their F2P system into a Badge system, with certain badges giving you abilities. These badges cost Doubloons, which are either bought or very expensive via in-game currency. All badges last one month or so. However, all is not lost, as I have mused while slowly levelling my pirate.

a) It costs 20 Doubloons for a Captain badge, allowing one of us to make a crew, recruit people, set options, etc etc.

b) A Sloop, the smallest ship that houses I think 7 people, has a 20 Doubloon fee.

Rum and cannonballs, the two key items for pillaging successfully aside from manpower, don't have doubloon costs. So we would just have to get past that initial huge cost and we should be all right. If I am right, and they haven't patched since then, Captains used to be able to set permissions for who could control the ship. The Captain could buy the Sloop and make it so any Pirate rank crew could control it, and everyone could just buy Pirate Badges (1 doubloon for a month).

Anyway, I think that rant is enough, but that puts a target on 40 Doubloons. I currently have 6, and I have a friend with 10. What we really need are bodies to fill a potential Sloop!

Also carpentry can indeed die in a fire. Gunning too.

Probably worth noting again, I am playing on Malachite Ocean, and any organization would require the same ocean...Steam appears to have a weird bug that auto-logs you into a random Ocean. You have to get to the 'Ye' screen, log out, and THEN select your Ocean. It's weird, but they just went on Steam so probably will get patched eventually.

[Aldurin]

Have any of the killing floor players here been on any of those custom servers that have a higher player capacity? It's a shitstorm to the point of being near unbeatable, but it's really fun.

Only thing that would keep me from playing this all the time is that it holds a separate perk progress from the official servers, so you have to level up again from scratch on these servers.

[Kerensky287]

So, the Sticky Jumper doesn't increase damage from outside sources anymore, according to the update news from yesterday.

That means it's actually useful now! Who wants to play TF2 tonight and test the new and improved Flying Demoman?

[Azisien]

Roommate's torrents were causing the ISP to throttle me and specifically only me for some Internet-y reason. I didn't know at the time and in frustration uninstalled Steam to see if reinstalls would help. Caught me in an infinite update loop until I discovered the torrents.

Now I have an ungodly number of hours of file verification ahead of me. Beats re-downloading them even at my now blazing speeds, but still. Shucks.

[MuMu]

So, how about that Rusty Hearts? It's only distributed by PW Inc. and not actually developed by them so I'm intrigued

[Aldurin]

I'm trying it out right now, but I've only had about 10 minutes of play time so far (fuck you, college). The system looks cool and the gothic style is . . . interesting.

And you only get 10 MB of patching when you first start it (I swear, other MMO's make you download a full gig of patches before starting).

I'll put more of an opinion in later when I do something that's not in the tutorial.

[mauve]

I watched the trailer for Rusty Hearts on Steam. Gameplay looks a little DMCish, which is interesting, but the female protagonist's design annoys me. Her combat style looks cool and all, but seriously, it's like her sole purpose is to see how many times per second she can show off her underwear. So yeah. The trailer killed this game for me. Cutscene animation looked interesting, combat looked okay, but the girl character is lame.

[Aldurin]

yeah, they aren't holding back on panty-flashing.

[MuMu]

So, girl character for the entire guild then

[POS Industries]

So, girl character for the entire guild then
Well, obviously.

[Pip Boy]

Sorry if it seems like I've abandoned you guys, but I've been a little bit busy lately. Construction on Team Fortress Terraria is still in progress, though a bit more slowly than I'd originally hoped.

[Jagos]

Crimecraft CEO is apologizing about delays on server (http://www.crimecraft.com/forums/News-and-Alerts/topics/a-message-from-the-vp-of-development-19010)

Looks like people can play the game fairly soon.

[Aldurin]

SEGA sale this weekend, and ALL of their notable sonic games up to Sonic Adventure DX: Director's cut are dirt cheap (75% off is worth it).

This also brings up a good issue.

WHY THE FUCK DON'T THEY HAVE SONIC ADVENTURE 2 BATTLE UP ON STEAM?

[PyrosNine]

There was never a PC port, I think.

Anyway, I intend to give Rusty Hearts a spin soon, after I post my Dragon Nest review.

[Kerensky287]

Company of Heroes is on sale for TWO DOLLARS. Go get it.

[Krylo]

Speaking of things on sale, Alpha Protocol is ALSO only 2 dollars. This is the perfect time for anyone who was on the fence about it because of it's great writing/gameplay vs curbstomping you at certain parts if you don't level properly (learn a gun, preferably pistols).

[PyrosNine]

We should all totally get Suicide Blitz 2 custom campaign for L4D2 (or Helms deep reborn, though I did find a nice MW2 terminal survival map) if only for one reason, one reason only! (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994545264/screenshot/542906238209451025?tab=public)

[Gregness]

Soooo, I just recently downloaded steam. How we do?

[Jagos]

Most of us play TF2. There's a few evil people that are still on L4D. The worst of the bunch are those L4D2 players.

Then there's F2P, though I haven't heard much from the Spiral Knights players or the Champs players.

So if you're ever in need of someone to kill you mercilessly, let me know on Steam with a quick look up and friend request to jakdup1. :)

We should all totally get Suicide Blitz 2 custom campaign for L4D2 (or Helms deep reborn, though I did find a nice MW2 terminal survival map) if only for one reason, one reason only! (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994545264/screenshot/542906238209451025?tab=public)

Downloaded. Not only does it have awesome MST3K refrences it has one of the best Gnome based Easter eggs...

also while it's not on steam a few of us are running around on City Of Heros/Villians Freedom...its a nice game You can access all the original content for free.

Don't you remember Shyria singing that while I was trying to kill you all with a forklift?

[Aldurin]

I remember that well. My ears still bleed occasionally.

[Seil]

Is anyone even on TF2 anymore?

[Jagos]

Hell yes!

[DarkDrgon]

someone shoot me an invite sometime, i'm tired of playing on the nsr servers but don't wanna branch out on my own

[Aldurin]

try the skial servers, they're pretty decent (we get the occasional troller/racist on the servers) but it's a nice vanilla experience with the game. There's also a Hale mod server and a low-grav and all-crit server (FUN AS FUCKING HELL).

[Ryong]

Titan Quest complete for 5 bucks? This is the best chance at disappointing me the people I've told to get Titan Quest have.

Edit: Let me make it clear: By this point, I've finished the game twice. I've played the hell out of it. If someone gets it, I will play, but the above was a joke. Not saying anyone MUST GET IT.

[akaSM]

Titan Quest complete for 5 bucks? This is the best chance at disappointing me the people I've told to get Titan Quest have.

But, they have Duke Nukem Forever for 10 USD :<

So, will Titan quest run in my crappy netbook? I'll leave it downloading the demo while I'm at college :3

[Ryong]

So, anything happening tonight? I mean, we got some nice TF2 updates - since a lot of us play pyro... And, as my defining trait, I must also mention on how some of you people got Titan Quest and we could play that, too.

[Seil]

I guess I'll play some TF2 or something.

[Seil]

I guess I am'nt. Damn update.

[Jagos]

Good luck. It crashes a lot right now.

[Aerozord]

we doing any TF2 Halloween celebrating tonight?

[Ramary]

we doing any TF2 Halloween celebrating tonight?

Guess not? We really need to get on our game, we have been slacking.

[Aldurin]

got work, so I won't be on until way too late.

[mauve]

Dunno if anyone still cares, but I logged back into Champions Online for the first time in like two months and found out that they're giving everyone a free third character slot if you log into the game and access the BONUS page of the C Store before November Something-Or-Other.

I might be tempted to follow my dream of starting a Space Mutiny David Ryder MST3K Nickname (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFHlJ2voJHY) themed supergroup.



Or make a superpowered Rowsdower. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6OPyfQxwDM&feature=related)

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I might free up a character slot and try to make an android version of MEGAWEAPON (http://youtu.be/GlHL8KuLcCs?t=1m41s)

EDIT: Dag, that was a big patch. Anyhoo, MEGAWEAPON is primed to kick some Q'laar butt.

[Jagos]

PS: Someone let me know when they're playing L4D2. I have the game installed and need a buddy eventually.

Otherwise, getting stuff in TF2 is a bitch.

[Aerozord]

we usually do hit up L4D2, but with the TF2 special we will focus on that till its over, still a decent chance for it though

[Azisien]

We'll do a L4D2 tournament! I'll buy the winner L4D2! Wait... :raise:

[RickZarber]

I'll probably be around tonight starting at 8pm EST. So if anyone wants to zombie hunt, I'll be willing. (Seeing as I'm guaranteed not to be busy with TF2...)

[mauve]

I MIGHT be around-- depends on if my sister takes over my computer for homework or not.

[akaSM]

I'll most likely be around since my computer doesn't completely suck at running games anymore ^_^

[Specterbane]

I might actually join in for a bit. I'm not totally dying from strep and my night's free for the most part.

UPDATE: Scratch that, girl friend's turned around and is snowed in at my place.

[Jagos]

And what server is TF2 on again?

[Azisien]

I know this isn't even Steam (though it *SHOULD* be grrrrr) and I think I am the only NPFer with it, but if anybody has Battlefield 3 on PC, add me on Battlelog, we have "enemy combatants" to pacify.

[Roland]

So, recently a nice friend gifted me L4D2. I've never played a L4D game before. How do?

[Ramary]

Run away from fellow survivors, you don't need them and they plot against you.

[Aldurin]

The witch is your friend, be sure to give her a hug.

Come join us one weekend and we'll force you to run through the hardest level like we did to poor Lazy Guy.

[PyrosNine]

PyrosNine is your friend, and won't shoot you in the face with a sniper rifle when you get knocked down.

Promise!

[POS Industries]

I LIKE SHOTGUNS AND I WANT YOU TO LIKE SHOTGUNS TOO.

AND I WILL IMPRESS THIS NOTION UPON YOU EVERY TIME I CLICK MY MOUSE.

[Doc ock rokc]

I still don't play with you fuckers after what you did to me the LAST time.
Still I am up for a Suicide Blitz

[synkr0nized]

FYI: Borderlands and all of its DLC are $7.49 total on Steam, ending tomorrow/the end of tomorrow.

I had the game on 360 already but at that price I could not pass up a game I enjoy a lot.

[Azisien]

Yeah, Borderlands is totally worth that.

[Doc ock rokc]

It is fun...we should all play together sometime.

[Aldurin]

Fuck you guys, I'm actually having to buy this now.

And I'll be forever tempted to play through everything with all four classes.

[Roland]

Come join us one weekend and we'll force you to run through the hardest level like we did to poor Lazy Guy.

Okay so, is this weekend or next weekend good? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

Also, as to Borderlands: Is that ending tonight?

[Ramary]

Halloween sale ends at 1 pm est on the 1st.

[Arcanum]

You know what, fine, I'll bite. Despite already owning the game, I'll buy Borderlands since it insists on going on sale every single time Steam has a sale. On the plus side I will now finally be able to play through the game as the Hunter, since my sniping accuracy on console is pathetic compared to on the PC.

And on that note, anyone want to play borderlands tonight since I don't have class tomorrow?
Edit- oh wait nevermind that's one hell of a download.

[synkr0nized]

The download seems to take anywhere from a little under an hour to three or four hours depending on folks' connections. 12-something gigs, I think?

Also, yeah, totally diggin' being more accurate with headshots now that I have more minute control of my aiming. I suspect the console version gives players more leeway, though, to compensate, as criticals are easy to get.

[Roland]

The download seems to take anywhere from a little under an hour to three or four hours depending on folks' connections. 12-something gigs, I think?.

Yeah, that download is... bizarre. I started it at 7:30 PM and it said it would take two hours. A half-hour later, 90 minutes. A half-hour later... 90 minutes. Twenty minutes later (8:50 or so)? Download paused at around 50% completion. Unpause it? Download finished!

For a second I thought it was just Steam trolling me, but no, the download really had finished and I'd been able to play right off the bat.

[Aldurin]

Sanctum just had a huge update, lots of content added. I haven't tried it all but I'll touch on some of it.

New Tower, I forget what the fuck its called. It's essentially an anti-air that fires slowfields, probably great if you need more time to unleash hell on spore pods or other airbornes.

New weapon, Rex. It's a rocket launcher with an ammo system like the sniper rifle, only much more powerful, a max clip of six and excellent for simply unloading on crowds (also doubles as a viable tactic against spore pods if you use the lock-on alternate fire). Very fun to use, meaning my poor shotgun will have to go back in the closet.

New survival modes.

Bounty: You have time limits on your build phases and get resources from enemy kills. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds hard.

Pre-built: You get a bunch of preset structures you can't remove. Sounds like a way to kill the monotony (especially if you're sick of using the same maze on Bridge) and experiment with new maze configurations. Haven't tried this one yet either.

Stamina: You get shitloads of resources (I mean absolute shitloads of it) at the start of the match, but that is the only time you get resources. Allows you to quickly test out max-level configurations and see how well certain towers perform at level 6. This allowed me to test the idea of a straight hallway, and in that hallway would be several maxed slowfields leading to a maxed holo with a maxed penetrator behind it. It works quite well for tearing the shit out of most ground units, though I should probably test having one that fires from behind the target so that hovers get caught in it too.

I haven't really looked at anything else yet though. I am disappointed that the gatling shotgun was not added yet. I want that SO BAD.

So I encourage you to get Sanctum as part of the Indie Royale (there's a thread here with the link I think) so we can have decent-sized groups for tower-defense games on our steam nights.

[akaSM]

Unfortunately, the bundle's over. But, the same team will bring us another bundle in about 9 days (you can check the page (http://www.indieroyale.com/) to see how much time's left)

[Aldurin]

Unfortunately, the bundle's over.

But now we not only get a free weekend, but it will be only 5 bucks until Monday. So those of you that missed out on the bundle don't lose completely.

[Arcanum]

So anyone up for Sanctum or Borderlands tonight? Or even the standard TF2 or L4D?

[Kerensky287]

Sanctum could be a lot of fun, I think. I haven't tried it with anybody else yet.

I haven't actually played it at all since before the DLC popped out.

[Seil]

Why is no one on TF2 when I am? I got all drunk and everything!

[Seil]

So are Steam Nights a bust now?

[Jagos]

So are Steam Nights a bust now?

Hell no, I feel like Scout rushing.

[mauve]

So are Steam Nights a bust now?

I certainly hope not!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Bleh, I haven't been on much to actually send event messages, but don't let that stop you guys from trying to set things up.

[Aldurin]

Well if you gave someone gold star status so that a night would be easier to set up, then that would help greatly.

[Ramary]

Well if you gave someone gold star status so that a night would be easier to set up, then that would help greatly.

I think I tell her to do this like every steam night.

[Seil]

Okay, whatever. I didn't even wannna play with you goobers anyway. You're all big jerks. I'm just going to random an LF2 game.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

AUGH Right I'll remember to make some new officers tomorrow

[Aldurin]

PICK ME, I'll actually be able to show up saturday and sunday night!

[Ramary]

If that is the only requirement, I am on every Friday Saturday and Sunday,therefore more qualified then you.

[Bells]

i'm updating my game and i plan to be around tonight to verbally abuse everyone i kill (so, like... maybe 2 people, i dunno)

[Jagos]

Damnit, I dunno where people play when they're on. And the server that people DO play on has a password...

[Aerozord]

ok can we please play something tonight, I was just finally getting to my big builds in minecraft when it hit a map destroying glitch, I really need to vent

[Bells]

TF2 Tonight? Come on people, who is in?

[Jagos]

I'm always down to scout rush

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Check the NPF Unlimited group profile to see the new officers. They should all have the ability to initiate events and I tried to get all the regulars.

[Ramary]

Awesome, I won't need to mass invite anymore.

[akaSM]

Awesome, I won't need to mass invite anymore.

Don't say you didn't enjoy doing that :P

[Aerozord]

as a personal request, if we run a game and I dont join the chat, send me a message even if I appear as AFK or in another game. Cause I definitely want to play

[Bells]

is it happening already?

[Doc ock rokc]

boy, that was fun last night. Is there any chance that we could do something like that tonight?

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I'm up for it.

[akaSM]

Fun? what fun? Also, I'm in.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I'm in chat now. Someone already scheduled the event it looks like, but I'm there early.

[Bells]

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Not just that, but i also think was one of the busiest NPF nights i've ever seen, a lot of people around and everybody talking at the same time =P love it.

[Specterbane]

Last night was good times indeed. But I won't be able to join tonight, I gotta earn a pay check in the morning after all. Have fun guys.

[Aldurin]

Do not be alarmed, this is only a test of the emergency system.

[mauve]

Too late; I'm already alarmed.

[Azisien]

"We're doing this exact thing again in one month" or "Steam Autumn Sale"

At least, that was the Seil thread I was going to make, right before I remembered in my sleep deprived state that there's a giant Steam thread.

Given the games of the past two months, does anybody even have any money or interest left to spend on sales to smaller/older titles?

I thought no, but that changed after some browsing. My wishlist at the moment:

Orcs Must Die
Shogun 2 Rise of the Samurai DLC
Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity
Fallout DLC I've missed

I'm a bit saddened they opted out of that "buy 6-12 copies of this one game!" thing this year. I rather enjoyed that. Though I think I was a minority. If it had been successful, they would have done it again, I guess.

[Arcanum]

Sins of a Solar Empire has caught my attention a few times, but I never went for it. I might give it another look though. Although I did just get the Humble Bundle so I have Defcon to wrap my head around and I don't know if I can handle another strategy game.

Worst part: There is clearly going to be a goddamn Christmas sale next month too, or at least I'll be surprised if there isn't.

Then they'll probably have a new-year sale in January, a Valentine sale in February, a St. Patrick sale in March, oh my god these sales are going to happen once a month aren't they...

[Azisien]

Well, their Christmas sale usually goes into January by a little bit, if I recall.

[Kerensky287]

If you haven't played Mass Effect 2 yet, it's only 5 bucks now so you have no excuse.

They also have all the Fallout games before Fallout 3 for 5 bucks each, and I'm tempted to pick one up.

[Arcanum]

Well, their Christmas sale usually goes into January by a little bit, if I recall.

My experience with steam sales is usually a swift blur that leaves me with a dirty sense of shame and an empty wallet.

The specifics of when where and what usually evade me until I look at my Library.

[Azisien]

My experience with steam sales is usually a swift blur that leaves me with a dirty sense of shame and an empty wallet.

Not to mention notifications I am reaching my monthly bandwidth cap from my ISP!

[Kerensky287]

Holy shit, it's like everything ever that isn't NEW is on sale for a billion percent off.

Unfortunately I'm not really in the market for anything that isn't Deus Ex 3 or Saints Row 3, so this sale does nothing for me.

[Arcanum]

While the publisher deals can be tempting, I usually hold off from those until the end of the sale, since there's always the chance one of the games I'm considering will end up on the daily sale.

[Aldurin]

If you haven't played Mass Effect 2 yet, it's only 5 bucks now so you have no excuse.

I played the demo on PS3 and didn't like it, so I have an excuse.

[Ryong]

Time to wait for Guild Wars to go on sale.

I had considered getting Portal 2 and/or Mass Effect 2, but, uh, nah.

While I liked Portal, I wasn't all that crazy about it - my lack of ability at puzzle games being one of the reasons, I suppose - and Mass Effect... I have heard far too many things about the second and the first didn't exactly leave me wanting more.

[akaSM]

I'm safe from that Steam Sale :cool:...if only because other sales have already taken ALL of my money :sweatdrop

[Aerozord]

I do need the latest new vegas DLC, but wont buy anything beyond that. My family hates us shopping pre-christmas.

on a related not, who is up for some post-turkey game fragging? I doubt I'm the only one that after family time is completely free that night

[mauve]

As mentioned in the public announcement thread, my gamin' PC has contracted a wicked case of the fake antivirus malware infestation, which according to my sister probably came from DeviantArt. Because of this unfortunate turn of events, I will most likely be missing Steam nights for at least a week. Hopefully they won't have to wipe the hard drive, in which case I may not be able to play any of my games for at least the next decade due to shitty internet having to redownload everything.



I am incredibly displeased.
Also suffering from withdrawal already.

[Arcanum]

So I bought Sins of a Solar Empire during the Steam sale. Booted it up today and played the tutorials. "Ok," I thought, "seems simple enough. Let's try an actual game against an AI." So I struggle my way through the first couple minutes of the game, making nooby choices with my tech tree, probably expanding ridiculously late, spending an excessive amount of time reading tech tree descriptions, and then all of a sudden pirates attack me, with a fleet five times the size of my own and I'm left defenseless as they go to town on my tiny, fragile empire.

My second game seems to be going much better, mainly because I have repelled two pirate attacks without losing my entire fleet. But god damn does this game have a learning curve. I can just tell late game is going to require so much macro control it will probably make my head spin when I get there. And I'm only on a small 1v1 map. I don't even want to think about the massive maps.

Still, the game is pretty fun despite the sheer amount of information you need to learn to be decent at the game.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Somewhere near the diplomacy tab is a bounty page, the pirates are attacking you because there's a higher bounty on your ships than the enemy.
Early game it's sometimes worth it to throw down economically to get the pirates going after some other fucker.

[Arcanum]

Yeah I figured that out during my second game. Speaking of which, I just spent 3 hours playing against a single AI on a small randomized map. I'm not sure I want to move to bigger maps O.o

[Mr.Bookworm]

I was playing Team Fortress the other day, and someone named... Sergeant Snuffleupaguss (okay not really, Sergeant something with an "S") was like "Hey Bookworm from NPF?" and I was like "Yeah!" and then I never found out who they were.

[Seil]

ahh trig test on thursday and finals week next week i will not have time for sleep why am i doing this ahhh

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Yeah I figured that out during my second game. Speaking of which, I just spent 3 hours playing against a single AI on a small randomized map. I'm not sure I want to move to bigger maps O.o

I tended to just play until I was satisfied victory was inevitable.

Also, for the pirates try to time your bidding with the very end of the time limit. When I played the AI had a slight delay in bidding back, so as long as they haven't patched that you can ninja it out from under them pretty easily.

[Aldurin]

Terraria is now at 2.50, so if you've been indecisive on it now is the time to buy it.

[Azisien]

Also grabbed Sins of a Solar myself. I tried a "quick" game with a friend, looks very very nifty. But epic, and perhaps unwieldy at large scale for a relaxed, low-APM player like myself.

Capital ships though. Sooooooo fun.

[Seil]

What's going on?

[Arcanum]

Diddly squat it seems.

[Doc ock rokc]

you know you're fully capable of making an event.
however, many people are busy this is either final week or dead week so don't be surprised that not all of us can show up.

[Seil]

Finals week for me, but I just have one in Math. (Which would make or break my mark, but whatever, it's on Thursday.)

This is my last nice, stress free night (http://www.youtuberepeat.com/watch/?v=eDNuX8iR1xk) afore mad panic sets in, so... yeah, no one's on.

[Arcanum]

Ryong had an event set at 9pm EST and about 5 of us showed up, played TF2 for around 30 minutes, and then kind of left. But yeah finals be happening so the next week(s) will be a little slow. Things might pick up around the holidays so long as everyone doesn't become super busy visiting family.

[Seil]

Thanks a lot, Ryong. I was all ready to come and complain here 'cause no one was on on my first weekend off from school and I was ready to come a hootin' and a hollerin' and then I read Arcanums post and I have a whole lot of unfiltered rage to drink out.

Also, good luck on exams, fellow Forumites. I sincerely hope the best for you all.

Well, maybe not you personally, but that other guy seems pretty alright, good luck to him.

[Arcanum]

*points to the date of my last post*
12-03-2011

But nothing other than a few games of killing floor happened tonight.

[Kerensky287]

....But we were playing Killing Floor. I was there.

I was being a useless piece of shit all day and running around with a knife and grenades as Demoman.

Then I sniped an invisible Patriarch to death with a grenade launcher though so everything was fine.

We should do it again tomorrow.

[EVILNess]

I have a copy of Sanctum left over from a 4 pack I split amongst myself and two buddies. I was wondering if any of you had something you might want to trade it for?

I also have a copy of Breath of Death VII/Cthulhu Saves the World that I bought as a gift for a friend, but due to circumstances of timing he already owns it and I am now with it sitting in my inventory.

Any interested parties can PM me if you want.

Please, no items. I really don't play TF2 enough.

[akaSM]

My internet connection seems to be behaving well today, also, I got a proper PC for games so, I'm in for some Floor Killing tonight :3

[Ramary]

A suggestion to the people with Gmod, since I know quite a few of you bought it over the recent sale.

We should play Trouble in Terrorist Town, it is really fun with a bunch of friends. It is essentially mafia in real time and we have guns all the damn time. A small number of people, depending on how many players, are traitors and everyone else has to find out who. It actually can range from fun shenanigans trying to see who looks the most "evil" to flat out "last part of every slasher horror movie" tense as hell when there are only a few people left.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

To elaborate, me, Ramary and one other guy are standing in a courtyard. There's one other player our there our group hasn't run into yet. As far as we knew everyone else was dead.
The round before I'd threatened to shoot Ramary for pretty much no reason. As it turned out if I had I would have won because he totally was the traitor. So this round I decide I may as well go with my gut and shoot him in the face.

He was innocent.

So the third guy goes over to inspect Ramary's corpse/grab his guns, and I figure that not only is he statistically likely to be the traitor, but even if he isn't all I have to do is shoot the other guy and I'm set.

The third guy was totally the traitor, and thus I had saved the day with minimal casualties.

[Ramary]

Thank you Karesh for reminding me to explain karma.

Within the game, between the rounds you have a karma score that starts at 1000. If you kill someone that is innocent your karma drops. This makes your weapons deal less damage and people will just outright trust you less. If the 3rd guy in karesh's example was also innocent, he would of had gimped weapons to fight the last guy who was the actual traitor, who always has an advantage one on one in combat.

And I do not blame karesh for shooting me, both times I was the traitor, I basically reaped souls left and right, and in one game he was my first target. He died for trusting me when I had a light machine gun.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

And I do not blame karesh for shooting me, both times I was the traitor, I basically reaped souls left and right, and in one game he was my first target. He died for trusting me when I had a light machine gun.

I think my favorite was when me, the traitor and a third innocent were all locked in a room as the timer clicked down and suddenly the Traitor shoots the third guy. I screw up switching weapons and end up running around the room screaming as I swing away with my Crowbar.

Eventually I got shot, and it's immediately afterward that Ramary busts in and shoots him.

[Doc ock rokc]

Guuhhhh In order to play I have to buy Counter strike.

[akaSM]

What? I don't have that game D:...or money :/

[Doc ock rokc]

TTT uses CS:S weapons so not all of us can play it...even if i heard that is very fun and i want to try it.

[akaSM]

Methinks Ramary should buy CS:S for those that don't have it for omitting that detail :P

[Ramary]

I was not aware of that detail since I bought Gmod WITH CS:S all them years ago.

Also I literately have no money.

[Seil]

Is it possible to just watch in a CS game?

[Aldurin]

I think you just have to join team spectator or something.

[mauve]

What about the airplane dogfight minigame? does that still exist/work? I've never played it in multiplayer so I don't know. But I THINK you only need HL2 items/textures for that one.

[Ramary]

Like TTT, it is a game built right into GMOD I think. You only need the map(s).

[Marc v4.0]

Anyone playing any Dead Island?

Watching the Yogscast run of DI really made me want to play it and have some fun, and I wouldn't mind being able to derp around a free-roam Zomble Nightmare with any other number of people that just want to break heads for shiggles.

[Arcanum]

I bought it when it was on sale a while ago. It's pretty fun. I believe Aldurin has it too.

[Aldurin]

Yeah, I'll be available to play it on saturday and sunday, so I'll start downloading it now.

[Arcanum]

We have some Xmas Hat Fortressing going on if anyone is interested. Hop on in the NPFU chat.

[Ryong]

BRODERLANDS ALL-NIGHTER (no shit seriously we started playing at nearly 2AM it's 7AM for me now ). We made two groups, although group 2 hasn't started yet.

EXTENDED SEIL BIRTHDAY TOMORROW.

So apparently there's gonna be a pseudo-surprise birthday what for tomorrow for me, and I'm going to get smashed. Expect me to run around a hootin' and a hollerin' and junk, 'causing ruckuses and what not.

Also I might game at some point.

Oh guys, I have a spare copy of Serious Sam HD: First Encounter and also the Second Encounter lying in my inventory, anyone want it?

Yes, please.

Monday Night Combat somewhat intrigues me, and I'm wondering if any of you fine ladies and gentlemen partake in it/are planning to/have any thoughts on the matter.

[akaSM]

I have the game and, I'm willing to participate in any shenanigans that would involve the game. Also, I think Mauve wants the game.

[MuMu]

I have it but never found it too much fun. Would play with others NPFers though.

While we're asking, what's NPF thoughts on Dungeon Defenders and Killing Floor?

[Aldurin]

Killing Floor is great with friends, though it is a bit more hardcore and does not give much room for shenanigans.

Bullshit.

Shenanigans are everywhere in killing floor.

Also everyone here buy that NOW(or wait till daily deal, whatever.)

[Kerensky287]

I have 4 Killing Floor guest passes, if anyone wants them next time we play (though I won't be around for at least a week).

[Bells]

Anyone would be considering PAYDAY for NPF Humbug nights?

Cause... it's Left 4 Dead in a Heist, the possibilities for hilarity are right up there... and it's 9,99

[Arcanum]

Karesh, Ramary, and I all bought Payday, and it's pretty fun. We managed to successfully complete one heist, while another brutally murdered us. And then Karesh and I finished a third map after Ramary left, but at the cost of me being left behind in police custody. If any of you want to pick it up so we can have a full team of four, that would be great since having four real players is where the game is at its peak since you don't have to worry about herding the AI about.

Some things against the game though; the cops have pinpoint accuracy, there are occasional "monster closet" areas where swat keep coming from a swat van like it's a clown car, and the civilians tend to run around during firefights in the middle of the crossfire.

Good I wish to try again this weekend (I will buy it when my card comes in next week)

Edit: whoops, meant to post this in the Christmas Steam thread.

[IHateMakingNames]

Any plan on what people may play tonight?

[MuMu]

It's still thursday plus x-mas stuff sooo...nothing?

I was wondering if we could get the Magicka and Sanctum Achievements together, I know we have at least one full group on each game.

[Ryong]

I have spent most of the day asleep. If the borderlands group feels like doing another binge, we can totally do it.

Alternatively, I'm up for TF2/Gmod/Killing Floor/L4D2 shenanigans.

[Ramary]

I set a steam night for Friday night. I expect to not have Steam nights for the rest of the weekend, so try and show up for Friday if you can.

[IHateMakingNames]

I saw it pop up a bit ago so I assumed it was for tonight. With recent purchases I don't have everything installed because that gives me lag for my other daily internet ventures. I wanted a heads up on what I might need installed.

[Ramary]

The usuals are TF2 and L4D2, Karesh, Arc and I would like a 4th for Payday if you got that. Some people play Borderlands lately too, and Killing Floor shows up a lot (as in when i demand we play it).

[MuMu]

I'm ok with some Borderlands tonight, if the rest of my group is up to it.

[IHateMakingNames]

I have Payday installing.
