[Steam] Thread XIV: Dr. Steamlove (OR:How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Poosh ze Cart)

X-COM (original) livestream to begin shortly, will link when it's ready.

Note: Might have to leave for random errands or whatever in the middle, not sure.

Edit: Had endless trouble getting Procaster to cooperate. As a result, I'll have to go with a resized Monitor stream. Sorry about that. On the bright side, I can mess with people by streaming the livestream window itself. Infinite recursion.

Neat.

Will watch. Will advise.

Will lie when it seems funny.

As a wise ork once said, we's all gonna die.

**Cogwheel** · 2010-07-17, 10:13 PM (ISO 8601)

Link's here. Will get shot at shortly.

Cogwheel, perhaps in the future, we shouldn't schedule overlapping events.

**Phase** · 2010-07-17, 11:24 PM (ISO 8601)

Whoa, check it, guys, Alien Swarm.

Gameplay.

Looks like Valve are reusing some sound assets, I heard some reused bits. Also if one of you dies, you all fail. Fancy that.

**AlterForm** · 2010-07-17, 11:28 PM (ISO 8601)

The little "mission failed" window said "no live tech marine," so that might have been a mission-specific requirement. Still looks awesome either way.

Sorry! Hadn't thought about that. Finished now, anyway. Will be more careful next time.

ALIEN GRENADE.

I spent, like, six posts making fun of the story of this game.

(By the by, that's totally a gonarch in that gameplay video. Surreal.)

**Phase** · 2010-07-18, 12:01 AM (ISO 8601)

Well there is a headcrab in the achievements... Hmmm...

New IDE/Theory, Alien Swarm takes place after humans have finished off the Combine and all moved to Xen, leaving Aperture Science and GLaDOS alone on Earth.

**onasuma** · 2010-07-18, 01:03 AM (ISO 8601)

This theory works. Especially due to so many Gonarchs in the trailer.

And the cake in the achievements!

**Griever** · 2010-07-18, 01:47 AM (ISO 8601)

Thanks to Mr. One Tasty Sammich, I now have all 39 Medic Achievements with the addition of Blast Assist.

Yay me.

Hey, looks a lot like Shadowgrounds - including some of the enemies. Which is no bad thing, if you ask me.

**Byrnbot08** · 2010-07-18, 07:32 AM (ISO 8601)

Alien Swarm looks good. Free game looks good.

What say we set up a bug hunt for Monday evening, any takers?

I should schedule that. I really should.

I am in IF:
A. The game will work on my computer
B. I am not busy around the scheduled time.

**potatocubed** · 2010-07-18, 08:28 AM (ISO 8601)

I am in IF:

a) the game is released on time and
b) it's released at an hour suitable for us UK-types.

Otherwise, a second event might need to be scheduled for GitP Alien Swarm blasting in the UK timezone.

Awwww,I DON'T get to kill everyone and claim all the kills for myself?

No, you can still do that if you're a tech marine.

**Byrnbot08** · 2010-07-18, 10:54 AM (ISO 8601)

Okay, big gripe here with L4D2.

The servers and my connections to them suck. Not like, a bit of suck. Like, I can't even move, I attempt to reconnect every 5 seconds and I get killed instantly by anyone who picks on the person who is not even moving.

The only server I seem to be okay on is our own server and the ones that are dedicated.

This is not funny. This is not FUNNY AT ALL. So BRINDLE, don't ever say it is funny, because I am not here to be lag and be mocked.

If I am lagging, I will tell everyone, and I want to be given a minute to figure out what the [expletive] is going on. Otherwise, I will rage and quit at the event of people getting cheap shots at my lagging figure.

Excellent, I hope none of you are offended if I decide to pump you all full of lead and then post my score on the thread for bragging rights

.

EDIT: The game won't work on my computer, darn it.

You do realise that I may be a Medic, and choose to revive my teammates with uncanny precision and debuff you to the extent that you are a sitting duck that every alien will love to che upon, right?

Also, I assume that if any of us dies, we fail. It's just that in this case, they are highlighting who specifically was killed, so if the Medic dies, you may get a game over due to "No live Medic."

**shadow_archmagi** · 2010-07-18, 11:49 AM (ISO 8601)

oh god, that game.

Phase, Brynbot (replaced by Blackfox after he raged), Jibar, Me.

We had a 930 point lead, which meant even if they did the finale perfectly they couldn't quite win. We decided to see if they could make it, so we all ran down to the helicopter and chilled there.

There were no survivors. The only thing in the helicopter at the end of the round was the tank.

**Worira** · 2010-07-18, 11:53 AM (ISO 8601)

I got mobbed by 5 billion commons :(

You got quite the lead. We knew we were struggling. Although, to be fair, we gave you a hurting when we were playing Infected. My 1000+ damage that one round was the highest I've seen so far. And I remember someone having trouble with a Jockey on the bridge.

**Jibar** · 2010-07-18, 03:15 PM (ISO 8601)

For the record, we were going to ambush you if you made it to the Helicopter and put you in ourselves. Preferably in the hands of a Charger, Jockey, Hunter, Tank, whatever.

There. Network (a 8.1 on IMDB, 90% on rotten tomatoes) is now scheduled for Friday at 9 PM.

Join us for the rise and fall of Howard Beale, the mad prophet of the airways.

Fantastic movie. Which makes me wonder.

Why are we watching it?

Because we're as mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore?

**xp194** · 2010-07-18, 08:00 PM (ISO 8601)

At some point I'd like to steam Space Oddessey: Voyage to the Planets. T'was a cool 2 part BBC production posing as a 'Documentary' of a fictional manned voyage to various planets in our solar system. It's very scientifically hard, the only pieces of technology that are 'science fiction' are very plausible, i.e. Magnetic Field generators and fusion engines.

Anyone interested? If nothing else, you get to see a group of astronauts mess around on Mars for a week or so :-p
