GF TF2 Part 2

“Is the sniper wearing high heels?”

I think she should do the ZeroPunctuation thing and record herself playing more games.

1802

Looks like the QT3 weekly TF2 is on tonight. I recommend hoping on in the 10 to 11 EST hour if you can, since spots are open and it’s before the most drunken POE antics kick off. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

1803

No major patches this week, and for you EST folks, there are often people on Garbage day a bit earlier than that, say 9/930PM.

Everyone is invited - just join the Qt3 group under Steam, and you can see the server/password settings from there.

1804

But what about Battlestar Galactica? ;)

1805

You can DVR that.

You can’t DVR a drunk guy from POE calling you a fag, can you? No you can’t!

1806

There’s a snowball’s chance in hell that I’ll be able to play tonight. I got one hell of a virus infection and after hours of cleanup, I’m still getting popups that spybot, adaware, AVG, and superantispyware can’t stop.

1807

have you tried system restore?

1808

Didn’t help. On the other hand, I think the infection has been removed. AdAware has been Usurped. Spyware Terminator is the fucking king.

1809

Had some serious luck with crit rockets the past two days. Yesterday I was in 2fort and hid at the enemies base entrance, just where the bridge meets base. Then two medics and a soldier fell from the battlements and started to run across the bridge, and even though I was low on health I had to try. My first shot was a crit, and it took out both medics. The soldier didn’t notice, apparently, and kept going, and a rocket got him. Then I turned around and there were 3 other enemies so I died.

Just now I was sittin’ on the roof of B on gravelpit, and a medic/heavy combo ran up to the ramp to the point… crit rocket took them both. I wish there were achievements for both those two events, I felt like I deserved them.

Well tonight was fun until the server switched to one of their shitty custom maps, except this one crashes TF2 for me when it’s downloading with an engine error. I guess no one else has this problem since the server’s still full?

1811

I crashed too, but it reloaded fine when I logged back on.

1812

I just tried joining but it didn’t want to download the map. oh well, looks like pretty much everyone left anyway.

edit: scratch that, i’m coming in.

1813

there’s a forum server? someone wanna point me in the direction of that info?

1814

Join the QT3 group in Steam communities. You should then see the events on the calendar along with the server IP and password. It sometimes changes.

1815

It may not be up on Steam yet, but our weekly TF2 game is on for tonight at 10PM EST (though some of us are on by 9 or 930) on our regular server.

All are welcome - just join the Qt3 group under Steam, and look for it under events - server IP and PW is listed there.

1816

Excellent, looking forward to it now that I have a working mic.

1817

I’ll be there after poker. 12-ish most likely.

1818

Things have been awfully quiet on the Steam News page, especially about TF2. Is this the calm before the storm?

1819

Last I saw, they claimed the big patch (with Gold Rush) was expected the week of April 21 (next week), but that was a few weeks ago when I read that.

1820

I still enjoy the game, but there is something broken with the engineer/defence vs. medic-uber/offense, that is dragging the strategic depth down almost regardless of the map.

A turret that is shielded from indirect fire is almost impossible to break through unless being pushed by the full weight of the team; likewise, this means medic-uber is not just a powerful option but pretty much necessary for offense. Teams without ubers get steamrolled time and again by teams with ubers.
