Anyone up for a match?

If I do well at the casino then I'm getting this. Unless I do really well then I'm getting a DS. >_>

Well I just beat Episode 2, even after everything that happened it seemed so anti-climatic to me still.

Episode 1's ending at least left you with a few questions, but this time around it's like you already know what comes next.

Portal isn't catching on with me very well, and Team Fortress isn't going to kill Halo, Gears Of War, or even Stranglehold.

I disagree, everyone who's playing TF2 seems to like it much more than Halo.

For me, its a far superior game, but Gears is still the best multiplayer shooter on the 360 right now IMO

[Guest Kou]

Gears is probably one of the most horrid FPSes I've ever played but I won't get into that.

[Maxx]

Probably because it isn't an FPS

I hope you and the rest of the gang will be on tonight, Maxx. Those were some good times in 2Fort last night.

Also, let me be quoted as saying Zan is the only other person I have ever seen play medic correctly (other than myself). <3

TFC was one of my favourite experiences ever, and still the only ever time I've been in a gaming clan (excluding MMORPG guilds). Mostly because it's the only game I've ever been good at (including MMORPGs), but probably partly because of UK Team Fortress Radio, and the BYTFL and UKTFCL.

All of which, as far as I know, are dead In fact, I think BlueYonder Gaming as a whole died.

So, whether or not I'll get as involved this time around as I did last time (Team Fluffle ftw!) I dunno. Will definately still buy it though.

Oh, and Monkey_l was CLEARLY the best map. Ever. Don't know if they've redone it for TF2 though. Doubt it

Fuck 2fort. Fatty on the bridge, Sniper in the sniper nest, Sollies in each doorway and Scouts concjumping between forts. EVERY FUCKING GAME :@

Not that I cared. I was an engineer ¬_¬ 2Fort had(s?) the EASIEST flag room for an engineer. Ever.

For those lucky enough to have already played: Are Spies disguises still useless? Invisibility sounds nice though. I'm assuming you can still Feign Death? Taking that out would suck.

[Fluffle]D-Lyrium will ride again ¬_¬

I experienced one of the strangest glitches ever yesterday. Somehow I joined a game with a 16 player limit, but there where 23 people playing (11 vs. 12). Apparently, this glitch or whatever has happened to others as well. This is for the 360 by the way.

Perhaps the people you've encountered, I myself can't make an opinion as I haven't played Halo 3 yet and don't plan on it either as Halo 2 didn't do much for me.

I will agree that Gears is the best multiplayer expercience you can get on the 360 atm. It's a real shame though that there's only one mode of play.

Gears is probably one of the most horrid FPSes I've ever played but I won't get into that.

Portal alone is miles better than Halo 3. Miles.

[Maxx]

Oh my god. Nearly every game of 2Fort I play is comprised of me and my friends playing offense and defense respectively, and then everyone else on our team running around our base doing nothing. Sometimes, literally nothing and other times, doing such helpful things as standing on the sniping post, trying to shoot rockets at a solider across the way, whilst the rest of the opposing team runs across the bridge unharmed.

[abundant]

Yeah, I hate 2Fort now. It’s either what you described or it turns into a giant stalemate where half of the people playing turn to Engineers and camp out in the Intel room

Was Wednesday the play with Valve day?

I love me my companion cube

Also, minor spoilers, the best taunt ever.

"There was even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all of your

friends were invited to. I invited your best friend, 'the Companion Cube'. Of

course, he couldn't come, because you murdered him. All your other friends

couldn't come either, because you don't have any other friends because of how

unlikable you are. It says so right here in your personnel file; 'Unlikable.

Liked by no one. A bitter unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned.'

SHALL NOT BE MOURNED. That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official.

It also says you were adopted. So that's funny too."

Portal.

Was Portal stolen from Prey, or the other way around? ¬_¬

[Guest Kou]

Hardly the case, Portal has been in development a good long time and most of the team that worked on Portal also worked on Narbacular Drop. So Portal was not swiped from Prey.
