Let's play a... game?
April 25th 2008, 02:36 CEST by bishop After spending several months not giving a damn, I finally got around to purchasing the orange box and I am now getting into playing Team Fortress 2 on a regular basis. This feels like a game that most of us have, and could probably get into organizing game nights around. So why not? Gabe's already going through the initial steps on server setup! Maybe it's a horrible idea doomed to failure (this topic sure seems like that!) but when was the last time all of us got together to play something? Enemy Territory? Bombing Run? And just think, there are no pants for me to steal! I've never made a topic before. I have no idea what I am doing. |

A szomorú dolog az, hogy mÖnty never even had an "öld rep" to begin with. Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.

Food n00bs. Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

Greg's new icon makes Monty look sort of like a balding Gordon Freeman. |

Ergo (#1550): A pale shadow of his once slightly kind of glorious self. Lies, I was never glorious. |
|
For a moment there you did scintillate though. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Yeah, I don't get what was so great about me before that I've somehow lost. Someone needs to explain that to me. With crapsifted examples, preferably. |
|
You escaped with the briefcase and 400 ping. A more glorious moment cannot be imagined. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.
|
|
Right, so I need to start playing SOF2 again? |
|
Team Fortress 2 also has briefcases in CTF. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

#1557 by m0nty Yeah, I don't get what was so great about me before that I've somehow lost. You weren't always such an unbashful stalkerish fanboy continuously badgering those around you with whining and snarky requests. But I say that in a loving way. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Unbashful? So I should be more humble and quiet? WTF? Also, were you here when UAC was happening? I was all about the stalkerish whining badgering fanboyism. You people have got some weird ideas. |
|
UAC might've been the seed, but you bloomed later. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
I was here for many years before UAC. Try again. |
|
Monty's glory peaked the day he escape with that case. It's been downhill ever since. |
|
#1562 by m0nty You people have got some weird ideas. You people? It's only you and gaggle mutually trolling each other. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

|
Well what can I say, it's a bit of a slow day at the office. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

You used to write good topics. Look at the top of the front page to see how far you've fallen. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

The short time we spend on-topic, and the perceived difficulty in getting a topic through the submissions process aren't conducive to making much of an effort to write a good one. The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read “Go stick your head in a pig”, and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.
|
|
You people are to blame for that. Why should I spend time and effort keeping up to date with gaming sites, finding nuggets of news and writing them up into polished, journalistic 300-word articles when all of you shit on them by ignoring the topic at the first chance you get? I learned that lesson a long time ago: you people don't actually want good topics. Or, if you do, you want to make fun of those who contribute them. Guess what, that demotivates people to supply good topics. So fuck you all. |

And repeating what I said using more words. The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read “Go stick your head in a pig”, and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.

Keep it up guys! I see smoldering. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

It's symptomatic. You used to encourage discussion by posting reasoned, researched topics about current events. Now you encourage discussion by trolling political threads. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Speaking of which, Qt3 has a Star Wars vs. Star Trek poll and Star Wars is winning like 2-1. I'm no huge fan of Star Trek, but WTF? The Star Wars prequels did exactly what everyone said they could not do and made the original movies suck. The whole series is dead to me. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

Remember, guys: it's all OUR fault. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

The prequels got better as they went along. Whereas the Star Trek movies were always very hit or miss. 2, 3, 6 and the one with malcolm mcdowell. I don't care to remember any of the others. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

m0nty will be the next one to leave. He'll argue he's left in spirit already and will stick to IRC exclusively. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."

The prequels got worse as they went along. The first was passable except for the damn kid, the second had some good action scenes but also some absolute dreck like that romance scene, and the third was garbage from start to finish. Fuck Star Wars. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright
|

Who cares about pitting SW and ST against each other. I will say though that some of the Star Trek movies I saw couple a years back were really pretty good. The cloaked ship sent to kill some politicans, Kaaaaaaaaahhhhn!, and others were entirely very enjoyable. Well, to be fair it might've only been those two movies that were good, but that's still a perfectly fine ratio from such a campy series. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Translation: Star Trek? I think I've seen that before, once or twice. It's okay for something that sucks. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright
|

SW III at least had dum dum duum dumdedum .. dum de duuuuum music, and wedge-shaped spaceships. It regained a tiny bit of an edge compared to the first one that was just entirely kiddie. They are still enjoyable and has some pretty awesome action-sequences but the only relevant movies in the series remain the original triology. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
The poll had no qualifiers, it just said "Star Wars or Star Trek". It was left up to the individual to decide whether the prequels counted, or whether video games and books and action figures counted. I had a lot of fun playing SW games and I have fond memories of the original movies. And Picard was a twat. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
It doesn't matter if the prequels count or not. By their mere existence they have made all of Star Wars suck and I'm embarrassed for anyone who still likes it. For the record, though, I took the third poll option. Neither is very worthy of acclaim or emulation. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

I guess I'll just have to suffer Bob's embarrassment, as horribly soul-crushing that will prove to be. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

If you're going beyond the movies, ST had DS9 so that trumps all of SW fandom. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Star Trek 4 was lots of fun |
|
Star Trek 5 and Insurrection were terrible. |
|
Star Trek 4 is pretty much the low point of the entire franchise. Worse than Enterprise. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright
|
|
IV was pretty great. II through IV is probably the best sequel run in moviedom. VI was pretty good, too. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
I love Star Trek IV |
|
and VI |
|
Maybe you guys have a nostalgia thing going on. I only saw it a couple of years ago and it's just wretched. Really, it is awful in every way. It's a fish-out-of-water comedy about people from the 60's idea of the future traveling to the 80s. Scotty talks into a mouse. What the fuck. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright

I recently watched all of Enterprise in a couple of very long sessions, having totally ignored it when it aired. It actually isn't that bad, and even the theme music grows on you. That said, the story-arc pales in comparison to some of the fan-made timelines of the early Starfleet/Romulan War years are far far better. |
|
Bob you haven't watched enough TOS. There was a ton of campy shit and slapstick throughout its run. Enterprise visits the Wild West, Enterprise visits 1930s gangster planet, Tribbles, etc. |
|
You know, I have never seen the Tribbles episode. I keep meaning to do that. "The best experiences are generative experiences. The best stories are player stories." - Will Wright
|
|
G-Man (#1596): even the theme music grows on you Lies. |
|
Enterprise? Oh, you mean Scott Bakula's Sausage Party? Because that's what we called it, on account of their taking every chance to show him in tight underwear. My wife and I still laugh if one of us says "blue goo bath!" because of that one famous scene in the first season. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group
