If people don't want HL2:DM I don't mind (I played, and keep getting killed by people throwing objects with the gravity gun!!!), but please suggest another game that is free/cheap/everyone can get etc. (only reason I chose HL2:DM).

Also - if people can suggest time/date for this - at the moment, I put the date for Saturday at 12:30 - but happy to change it to fit better for everyone.

Lastly... I have no idea about the game... just think this is good! I am happy to (try to) host. Please suggest maps/settings.

The whole POINT of HL2:DM is the Gravity Gun ;3

@Shinrai ok... guess I just need to get better! ... put in a bit of practice before our match!

lol

sorry I haven't played Half Life 2 in like ages

Starcraft 2 is the bomb @Wil

I can only reliably play after 19:30

btw you should add me in Bakery Story, City story and every other free game on the ipad ;P

I love strategy, but I don't have that, or a pc that can run it!!! :( so, feel free to have a private game, or set up other games.... but I just really think we should all do something that everyone can play!

bakery? separate to the cafe one?

starcraft is very flexible regarding specs @Wil

@IvoFlipse What do you mean by that?

that it runs on crippled systems as well

SC2 will run on pretty old gear, yeah

It is appreciably more expensive than something like HL2:DM though :OP

er, :P

oh - thought you meant spectators! ... Well, again, I just wanted something that everyone can pick up (HL2 DM is free), so I would like to keep that as a first one, but happy for you to add a regular date for a SE Starcraft game!

we should have a 'LAN' party with all SE members who want to play HL2 @Wil

only without the meetup part and just hook up through the internet :P

@IvoFlipse hook up through the internet? I don't think that SE site exists yet. :3

hookers.stackexchange.com

hi @ChrisF

we could just create a question on meta.gaming to pick a date/time for a match

I was just gonna say dating.SE but if you wanna be dirty about it...

hahaha

there's a proposal for that

I can just imagine the downvotes

We can - but isn't it just better to keep this separate, it isn't questions on gaming... lets just try the first one as a test, and advertise after that!

I just meant it as a way to get a server filled :P

Not sure I can handle that! (happy to try and host the first one!)

eventually we can do teams - like SU v SO.... but that is much later on down the line...

well you don't have to host, we can just pick a server and all join that

or do you have your own server?

@IvoFlipse but then you get random members of the public who will get in the way ;P

I would set one up - a password that will be shared on here...

ah right

either way, we should really get this started

just as a try out
