So, are we actually going a game tomorrow.

I'm up for it

.... I really can't spend a lot of time doing it tomorrow (too much work), but if you guys are up for it again, I am happy to advertise and stuff... just let me know time/details.

Also, thank you SE Chat for showing me my own message as if it were the last despite having replies 4 or more hours ago. :/

@Wil Same as last week's. Just like the event in the room schedule claims

So yeah... which game.

@badp Arsenic

@badp I'm surprised you're OK with Quake Live... I wasn't aware it ran under Linux.

@Powerlord 1) It does, I'd just have to install FF3. 2) I dual boot with Windows, so Linux isn't limiting for me.

(No NFS:W under Linux)

@Wil: Interesting poll answers.

:)

As long as OpenArena has a dedicated server, I can set one up

Except that Wil doesn't seem to want to do OpenArena.

I know why he doesn't want to do Fortress Forever... he can't play it. :/

to be honest, if you guys want to do something - just do it... I have so much work on, I won't be able to spend that much time

@Powerlord It's the FOSS Quake 3 game with custom maps and content

I did get a Fortress Forever server up and running, though.

Stupid Valve and its unintuitive "You need to install episode1 server" stuff.

oh shoot... is a game going on right now? @Wil

Gah

I changed the poll to mark the fact we have somebody who'd host OpenArena

it cleared the entire column of the table

so if you can recast your vote

er... I got the wrong date, didn't I?

I blame Wil

@KronoS no, im half asleep and did today's date!

Long Long week...

@Wil lol... it's all good

@badp I find it funny that you thought I'd host HL2DM and Fortress Forever but not Open Arena. ;)

@Powerlord Those two are Steam powered, unlike Open Arena

I don't know what you can or cannot do, so I took the safe assumption

@badp While that's true, I've hosted other things before... heck, I'm even hosting a UT2k4-based Killing Floor server right now. Granted, you CAN install that one from the Steam admin tool.

dang I was hoping that people would get on... @Wil lol

Stupid Monday Night Combat doesn't have a Linux server or I'd likely have one of those, too.

... a new gemcraft game is out... just heard on twitter... there goes my weekend!

I just wish I didn't have so much work :(

@Wil Mmm, I'm never been a huge fan of tower defence games.

I love it/any sort of strategy... but it looks like it has a premium model/pay for bonuses...

just going to give it 5 minutes, then got to finish a stack of work :(

I'm casting my vote with the assumption that Global Thermonuclear War is DEFCON

@Brant Pretty sure @badp meant it as a joke, but whatever... :P

@Brant That's reasonable

I bought DEFCON because I loved Introversion and it was one of the first ever non-Valve games available on Steam, and I don't think I ever finished a single game.

@Brant "it was one of the first ever non-Valve games available on Steam" Really? Steam was around in 2003 (see also: my Steam registration date), but I didn't think DEFCON came out until 2006.

Maybe I'm thinking in terms of indie games, then. (as far as you can consider Introversion to be indie)

@Brant: So, you have Hello Kitty Online?

I'd pick up a copy of everyone else wanted to play.

I'm that dedicated.

"In the majority of MMORPGs players receive experience points and level increments by defeating opponents and completing quests; this is not the case in HKO,[9] where players level-up primarily through resource collection and item crafting."

It's like Minecraft! Only with levels! BRILLANT!

Heh. "Will there be PvP?"

"No, never."

@badp Minecraft isn't the only online game with resource collection.

In fact, that ancient egypt MMO was the first.

A Tale In The Desert!

That was actually the first MMO I ever played.

@Brant Yeah, that one.

Other games could learn so much from ATITD.

@ThomasMcDonald YES! Add that to the vote so I can put a big red block next to my name for it.

Actually, I personally think we should avoid games that have leveling or persistent worlds in general (sorry Hello Kitty Online)

@Powerlord omfg - its real?

okay, so to close the poll

either HL2:DM or QL/OA/FF + DEFCON (and Brant'd need to pick one)

okay, HL2:DM it is then! (@Powerlord)

I know, all but LessPop voted for it.

room topic changed to SE Game On!: This saturday at 1800 GMT: Half Life 2: Deathmatch.

stops bothering to reinstall Ventrilo

We tested out the Ventrilo server the other night, seems to work pretty well...Though I realized that I hate my mouse now, heh.

(on account of not being able to assign one of my buttons to just nothing so I can use it for PTT)
