So, are we actually going a game tomorrow.

C. Ross

I'm up for it

Wil

15:33

.... 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.

4 hours later…

Powerlord

19:11

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. :/

badp

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

Powerlord

So yeah... which game.

badp

Pick your poison

Powerlord

@badp Arsenic

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

badp

@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)

Powerlord

19:25

@Wil: Interesting poll answers.

Wil

Powerlord

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. :/

Wil

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

badp

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

Powerlord

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

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

Wil

updated -

Q: Stack Exchange wide gaming night!

UPDATED - NEXT @18:00GMT 18th Feb Hi everyone! By posting this, I feel like this will become one of those Facebook parties where the entire house gets trashed... Crossing my fingers that it will not be like that! Just for the fun of it, a few of us are trying to hold a gaming night - So far it...

room topic changed to SE Game On!: Next game: 2011-02-18 18:00GMT

KronoS

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

badp

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

Powerlord

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

I blame Wil

Wil

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

Powerlord

Wil

Long Long week...

KronoS

@Wil lol... it's all good

Powerlord

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

badp

@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

Powerlord

@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.

KronoS

19:45

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

Powerlord

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

Wil

20:39

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

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

Powerlord

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

Wil

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 :(

Brant

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

Powerlord

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

badp

@Brant That's reasonable

Brant

20:43

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.

Powerlord

@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.

Brant

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

Powerlord

21:25

@Brant: So, you have Hello Kitty Online?

Brant

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

I'm that dedicated.

Powerlord

"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."

badp

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

Brant

Heh. "Will there be PvP?"

"No, never."

Powerlord

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

In fact, that ancient egypt MMO was the first.

Brant

21:30

A Tale In The Desert!

That was actually the first MMO I ever played.

Powerlord

@Brant Yeah, that one.

user30

Why don't we all play Minecraft tomorrow instead? </plug>

Brant

Other games could learn so much from ATITD.

Powerlord

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

user30

Powerlord

21:35

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

Wil

22:27

@Powerlord omfg - its real?

badp

22:43

okay, so to close the poll

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

badp

23:07

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

user30

Woopie

user30

No objections here

badp

I know, all but LessPop voted for it.

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

user30

I might even have to crack out my collection of classy music for the Vent server ;)

badp

23:25

stops bothering to reinstall Ventrilo

user30

23:49

@badp Don't worry. I won't.

Tim Stone

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)
