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. |

Six on a goddamned saturday morning, omgwtfmongoloidporninferno!? but watching changes every fact
and your curves are best described by mathematical approximation anyway so I use fingertips to trace our play |

Ehh, dude, it's Friday. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

The hell are you talking about? but watching changes every fact

Would now be a great time to tell everyone I'm talking about the xbox 360 version of team fortress 2? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Really, any time this weekend will do. I only went with 9 pm friday because that's when we used to get together and play ET and bombing run. |
|
Also I just went through most of episode two. I would be happy with fallout 3 if it were a lolhuge version of the initial car areas in hle2, I think. |

About this nonsense: Six on a goddamned saturday morning, omgwtfmongoloidporninferno!? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

PC TF2 OMG space bears! April 26 @ 06:00am but watching changes every fact
and your curves are best described by mathematical approximation anyway so I use fingertips to trace our play |
|
Yeah, great stuff that time is. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.
|
|
I can probably do late friday or late saturday. Late being sometime after 10pm EDT. And I suck with the spy. But I make up for it by pwning with the demoman and the engineer. "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

I'd definitely be up for some TF2, but don't do Fridays. I usually play with the QT3/POE guys then. Saturday would be great. |

Off topic: You guys need to help me figure out what iPod to buy next. I lost mine on a flight back from San Francisco. Got to baggage claim before realizing I didn't have it on me, talked them into letting me go back to the gate, then the agents there wouldn't let me back on the plane (which was boarding new passengers) but went and looked for it themselves. Of course, they didn't find it. I hope that whatever douche is listening to it now enjoys it and then dies of cancer. ANYWAY. I've got $450 coming to me from a freelance writing project I did, so I'm going to buy a replacement. I'm leaning heavily towards the iPod Touch because it's just so damn nifty, and it's got WiFi. But any honest appraisal of how I use these things reveals that I really just listen to music and audiobooks. I could be wrong since I've never had a video iPod before, but I don't foresee much video watching. And a closed WiFi network at work means that my portable web browsing would probably be limited to home. Where I have a couple of computers (including a laptop) already. And I don't buy music from iTunes (thank you, Amazon.com) so while the integrated iTunes store is cool in theory, I'll never use it. So the rational thing to do would probably be to buy another Nano since they're cheaper and probably more durable. But the Touch is so nifty. You guys need to talk me into doing something. |
|
I love the Nano I got for Christmas to replace my Mini. It's tiny, but the screen is big enough to enjoy Peggle. And at 8 GB it's plenty big enough for my small music library, audiobooks and podcasts. I went with the Nano over the Touch because I was certain I'd never watch movies on it or use the other applications. |
|
Personally, I got a Sandisk Sansa because it was retarded cheap and does more than I ever need. It plays video, but like the iPod you have to convert anything you want to watch, and I never plan ahead and/or can't be bothered. For an mp3 player, all you need is something that plays music and has as much memory as you need. Mines 8gb but I could probably get by with 2, considering how little I use it. If I had a car stereo that it could plug into, then I might need more. I would say that you should get the nano, if you're set on an iPod. Why pay for features you don't need? 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."

The Apple stormtroopers are all illusions. I'm immune because I don't believe in their power. 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."

Sorry bishop, QT3 > Planetcrap when it comes to choosing who to play TF2 with. DON'T VIOLATE THE SANCTITY! |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

Also, if you want a decent sized flash player, the Sansa View goes all the way up to 32GB, for not too much. Though the 16GB one is significantly cheaper, and both of them have a micro SD slot for future expansion. It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

Just buy a Nano. You'll get more space for your dollar and you'll have all the features you need. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Didn't Bob have all kinds of problems with his in terms of syncing with Windows? Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I have the HTC Touch today plugin on my PDA. It's neat. What do you mean, not impressed? I don't know the tech specs of the Touch, specifically, but my Trinity has: a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, it's a quadband phone with 3G and Edge, it has a2 mpx camera, a front camera for viedeocalls, a Gps receiver, WiFi, BlueTooth with A2DP audio, IrDa, it has M$ Push Email for Exchange servers, can run Blackberry client, runs MSN Live and Messenger, together with M$ Voice Command it can be completely voice controlled, I can install the software I want... The iPhone on the other hand, looks pretty and has a nice UI, but that's about it. I've read somewhere that , in Germany, an iPhone costs you about 1200€ from the moment you take it out the store till the moment the contract expires and it's legally yours, and then you have a phone that does less than a Nokia N95 or almost any other PDA phone. It's a status symbol and not much more than that. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Fine, fine, I'll just play with the qt3 fags. I need to murder some of them for their idiotic statements about castlevania games anyways. When and where? |

The iPod Touch and iPhone aren't compatible with 64-bit Windows or Win2k. So you need either 32-bit XP SP2 or 32-bit Vista in order to use one. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
which is what most people would be using, since Win2k is old and pointless, and 64bit is usually used by people that have no business using it. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
But they do work with 64-bit Macs. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Oh, it appears Apple has fixed the issue with 64-bit Vista. 64-bit XP is still not (and surely never will be) supported. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Bob, what exactly do you mean by "compatible"? Do the iPods show up on the computer as mass storage device only, because the drivers that support the advanced functions of the Apple PC software aren't compatible, or aren't they even recognized as mass storage devices and are therefore completely unusable? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
They are recognized as mass storage devices, but iTunes doesn't recognize them as iPods. You can't transfer anything through iTunes. And the device requires that you activate it through iTunes once before you can do anything on it, so you must have access to a compatible machine. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

#42 by FoRmaT a nice UI Well, you kinda had me doubting but then mentioned the quoted part. Sold! I'm buying one just for that part. For the UI and overall user experience. Fuck specs. "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke
|
|
UI and the ability to rate my iTunes music on the go are two big factors for me. I am a total rating/tag/album art nazi. I'm all about making sure that everything is synched with my iTunes library as accurately as possible. |
|
but then mentioned the quoted part. Sold! I'm buying one just for that part Millions of cool kids agree. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
My music's rating is done in my head, I don't need a UI for that. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

#51 by Ray Ray! What's up, back for good or random visit? "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke

So basically all x64 users miss out on is the ability to sync with iTunes. Doesn't really sound as too big a deal for me. I haven't tried or seen iTunes, but generally I hate music library progs, like MediaMonkey. For me, nothing beats looking directly at the music folders on my HD and just clicking on the song(s) I like to hear. I have quite a few non tagged mp3s which probably could never automatically be categorized by any program anyway. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
Format, that sounds like Chaos. The Smart Playlists in iTunes are great. If you want to listen to all your Indie Pop that you've played less then three times in the last three weeks which is rated more than 3 stars, it is all generated automagically. Once you commit to tagging and rating everything, it's sooooo swell. |
|
Gaggle, I'm going to try and post more. I'm the most educated and well spoken member of a lot of the other communities I partake in and that scares the bejeezus out of me. Being exposed to the rest of the internet without the Crap to balance it out is rotting my brain. |

I have quite a few non tagged mp3s which probably could never automatically be categorized by any program anyway. That's why they allow you to, you know...manually assign a category? I'm not sure why that wouldn't be a reasonable option here. I rate and categorize my music because then I don't have to manually build a playlist every single time I want to listen to music. If my mood is to listen to Middle Eastern ambient, I choose that playlist rather than having to manually go through every 4 minutes or so and click a new song to play. That would seem silly to me. I rate the music because every so often I like to remove the music I get tired of listening to from a playlist, so sorting by the star system means I can just grab a chunk of 3-star-and-below songs and move them in one shot. Bellydance!

It is a bit of a chaos in the sense that I have a few albums who's songs are called Track1, Track2 etc. But generally, those are albums I don't care about much and there are some of them that I havent heard. I have seven main folders called: Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Soundtracks. I throw full albums into the pertinent folders, loose songs into the folder's root. Songs that I'm unable to categorize go into a "Various" folder. It works for me. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

There are a ton of advantages to the smart playlists, tagging, and ratings. |
|
Is band X post-punk, indie, or post-punk revival? And then the system fails. |
|
Caryn, I rarely listen to an entire album anyway. Normally I'll listen to maybe 3-4 tracks and then I've had enough. Plus, I like to listen to my music with more volume than than my wife tolerates (a bit louder than conversation volume), and after 3-4 songs usually comes the moment of "please turn it down or wear your earphones!", which takes all the fun and mood out of it :( "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Is band X post-punk, indie, or post-punk revival? Any of those would probably go into my Rock\Alternative folder. I have about 40 GB of music, but I don't think I regularly listen to more than my favourite 20 songs. Maybe I'll try iTunes one of these days, who knows, maybe I'll like it. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Tag your music. Divorce your wife? |
|
I've got it! Headphones! |
|
Wife ! loud music. Ray, I better say this now: I've said nasty things about you some days ago while you were absent, in case you read up on recent posts. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

It is a bit of a chaos in the sense that I have a few albums who's songs are called Track1, Track2 etc. With a click of the mouse you can change the name of the song in a program like iTunes, and probably other programs. Caryn, I rarely listen to an entire album anyway. Normally I'll listen to maybe 3-4 tracks and then I've had enough. That doesn't really have anything to do with music programs. All music programs allow you to listen to whatever songs you want, make playlists of any songs you want, etc. Whatever system works for you is fine, but it sounds like you've never, ever looked at a music program ever and just assume it doesn't do anything useful when it sounds like you're making extra work for yourself that a program like iTunes would automatically handle with ease. Bellydance!

Wrong, Caryn. I have tried MediaMonkey and one or two others, and while some of those programs did look nice and useful, I never really felt a need for them, that's all. Plus I prefer Windows Explorer to some of those terribly colourful and happy program skins. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

What the fuck? Why would you do that? I don't even know you. |
