@ASCII-only it definitely was a bug. I had gone down just fine, no lag or anything

ASCII-only

Possibly. I'm pretty sure the game unloads the living area and reloads the center (or the other way around) in the elevator so something might have gone wrong in that

Nathan Merrill

yeah. I like those transparent walls that say "you're leaving the area"

it seems intuitive, but I doubt I could have come up with that idea

also, broken messages totally seem like a cop-out, now that they have done it like 20 times

Riker

03:32

@quartata be proud senpai I finally got around to playing half-life

2 only though, since my friend had it on ps3

quartata

oh 2

Riker

nope sorry

quartata

that's fine

Riker

lol

I get why you wanted me too

quartata

(except for the fact that you're playing on console lol)

Riker

03:33

^ ikr

I hated that part of it

quartata

so you have the full orange box then?

Riker

I'm planning on buying the orange box next steam sale, or maybe just the hl series

quartata

if so I wonder if TF2 on PS3 is still alive

I know people still play TF2 on 360

you should try it, you'll get the original source 2007 experience

(which is to say hell)

Riker

@quartata doubtful

@quartata lol

ASCII-only

@Riker wait. is the orange box on sale every seasonal sale?

Riker

03:34

@ASCII-only dunno

but i would expect volvo to put in on sale to bring more money

LOL the half-life complete comes with team fortress classic

Pavel

@ASCII-only Basically yeah

Riker

anyway @quartata I'll buy hl1 and play it later

but hl2 was good

9/10 dumb AI sometimes

Pavel

@Riker Also Counter Strike 1.6, Day of Defeat, and a couple others

Riker

^ seeing that

Pavel

I actually have the cd edition of the Half Life complete pack from 1999

Signed by Gaben himself

My dad recieved it from him personally and promptly put in the basement until I dug it up three years ago

quartata

03:37

@Riker get one of the bundles

like the anthology

or yeah the half-life complete one

TFC is worth it alone

@Pavel gabe must have been the more forgiving type back then, if he still talked to your dad after leaving microsoft

Pavel

Technically what I got was the Platinum Pack (not purchasable on Steam), not the Complete Bundle, with the only difference being that it didn't come with HL:Source

@quartata My dad doesn't know him personally. Apparantly Gaben worked with the MS Flight Sim team at one point so when they shipped Flight Sim 2000 he gave the whole team half life for free.

Oh wow, the only thing missing from the Valve Complete Pack in my library is DoD:Source, HL:Source, and CS:CZ.

@Pavel Oh nvm, Platinum Pack had DoD, CS, and Ricochet, which aren't in Complete Bundle.

.oO(Does anyone play ricochet?)

I actually own Ricochet and it's fun.

10 hours later…

AdmBorkBork

13:31

Ricochet is very fun. Too bad it never took off.

AdmBorkBork

13:43

@quartata I've played HL2 co-op before. It only really works if everyone has already played HL2 (maybe even several times), since it's really easy to get ahead of everyone else.

2 hours later…

Pavel

15:27

@AdmBorkBork We have a discord and we can just tell people to wait up

Also, I think lots of people have played HL2.

AdmBorkBork

That's a fair point

quartata

15:47

yeah I don't think that's a huge deal

Pavel

Does Synergy make the game spawn multiple hoverboats

quartata

pretty sure the way that works is that you all get into the same one

(the airboat is for scrubs anyways though, we don't need it)

AdmBorkBork

How the eff do you do "Water Hazard" without a hoverboat?

Pavel

There's like, poisonous radioctive goo

AdmBorkBork

Also deep water that you die in

quartata

15:55

wallclimbing

I didn't say glitchless mind you

Pavel

You wallclimb

I'm taking the airboat

quartata

very suboptimal

I wonder how carrying the gnome works in Synergy for episode 2

AdmBorkBork

Bummer. I enjoy playing games glitchless.

quartata

well then we'll take the airboat but you have to do at least two 360s with it to make up for it

(360 roll-wise, not yaw-wise)

Pavel

I've done a pitch-wise 360 a couple times off of some explosive barrels

quartata

16:05

roll-wise you just have to hit a ramp too fast from what I've seen

of course the risk of dying is a bit higher

I'll be honest my only exposure to Synergy is from watching two idiots play so I don't know how the multiplayer aspect really works

is there saving? Probably not

Pavel

There's probably saving on the host computer

quartata

I mean we could just change to any map we liked but we'd be missing all our shit is the thing

Pavel

Oh man I just realized I haven't played a game without iron sights in forever.

quartata

LOL

I mean, you have the suit zoom I guess?

Pavel

Yeah no

It's fine

quartata

16:13

Now Sven Co-op I have done before for HL1

but it adds its own weapons so ehhhh

DJMcMayhem

17:04

@AdmBorkBork @quartata @Pavel All of my tests are today, so after tonight I'll be free (almost) whenever. I would love to play synergy sometime, what do you guys think?

Pavel

I have work today, but I have a lot of time tommorow.

DJMcMayhem

Tomorrow night would work great for me. Or Saturday afternoon, or sometime Monday

And I bet I could convince Hades to play too if we wanted more people

El'endia Starman

@DJMcMayhem Probably would be a nice distraction from the dreary underworld.

DJMcMayhem

Haha

@El'endiaStarman HadesHerald is a friend of mine

He's on the discord server, but less active on PPCG

AdmBorkBork

Evenings Central time work for me. Really anytime after about 6pm Central.

quartata

17:21

Saturday afternoon is probably the safest bet for me since my weekday schedule is in a bit of flux

I'm fairly flexible though so I'll see what others say

moonheart08

18:08

Ok, so the server IS down. I'll go boot it up again when i get home.

El'endia Starman

18:29

@moonheart08 Might be worthwhile to use a cronjob to start it periodically?

moonheart08

Probably :P

Pavel

I can never figure out how cron works

Eric Tressler

just set up a cron job for "man cron", and you can learn about it later

El'endia Starman

@Pavel What's confusing about it? It's a sequence of numbers for the date/time and then the command to run.

Martin Ender

woohoo, new Opus Magnum levels

moonheart08

18:33

wait wat

@MartinEnder damnit i was going to actually do something tonight

Martin Ender

they added another journal issue

Christopher

Hello

Martin Ender

Christopher

What game this time
