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

Oh god oh god oh god, me and my friends just got slaughtered by a horde of aliens. That game is incredibly addicting, and I now have a TF2 hat that looks vaguely like a headcrab.

**onasuma** · 2010-07-20, 01:05 AM (ISO 8601)

I left it on to install and let me idle all night. Steam client updates and thus everything is on 3%

Yes, technically.

Fan made content is already possible, even easy, and there's a tutorial campaign.

Other than that, though? Nope.

**Worira** · 2010-07-20, 02:38 AM (ISO 8601)

So, Hat Trick should really require three levels.

Also, flame-fu is ridiculously effective. Faith, with a flamer and medigun, is a force of devastation. I also like to take freeze grenades to murder shield bugs.

**ZeroNumerous** · 2010-07-20, 03:33 AM (ISO 8601)

Shotguns: I shouldn't be using them. I shoot my teammates more often than not.

Also: I am apparently an excellent rearguard. Not that, you know, being at the rear is any safer than being in the front.

**Izual6764** · 2010-07-20, 04:34 AM (ISO 8601)

So, there isn't a specified time frame in which you have to play enough to get that hat? Just making sure. Also, thanks to TF wiki I know that I want it. Hell, any hat would be great. I'm poor and hatless right now.

**Dispozition** · 2010-07-20, 04:41 AM (ISO 8601)

So, tesla gun, medic gun, armour...Most win loadout there is.

**KBF** · 2010-07-20, 04:45 AM (ISO 8601)

That is the exact loadout I've been rawking just.. I had no Medic Gun. It was.. Hard.

**Cogwheel** · 2010-07-20, 04:52 AM (ISO 8601)

So, problem I've been having with this game. As soon as I reach the lift, it lags to pieces and becomes unplayable. Has anyone else been having this problem? How do I fix it?

**Dispozition** · 2010-07-20, 04:53 AM (ISO 8601)

Oh yeah, medicing gets a lot easier once you get to level 9.

**Jibar** · 2010-07-20, 06:14 AM (ISO 8601)

So... I don't know which thread I should be telling stories in, but Alien Swarm is awesome.

On the 5th map, me and KBF were left after Onasuma and Faulty bit the dust to some parasites. I'd run out of rifle ammo, and needed to conserve my flamethrower.
The solution?
I punched my way through over 100 aliens.
I am the BOSS.
This is why I'm Captain and Onasuma is just a Corporal.

Also, hey, Chiasaur, where's that Level Editor. I can't find it.

**potatocubed** · 2010-07-20, 06:19 AM (ISO 8601)

I'm guessing the level editor is just Hammer, like all the other Source games, but you'll probably need to know which entities go where to set up an AS game.

EDIT: Please direct your eyeballs to this link for all your Alien Swarm mapping needs.

Rearguard is ridiculously easy if you're Special Weapons Guy. I did that for most of the campaign. Autogun, tight hallways, no worry of friendly fire? Muahahaha.

Launch the game.

Enable Developer Console.

Enable cheats.

Then put this in: ASW_tilegen

The game has got a map builder and randomized mission tool built into the game.

Needs more Tesla turret/Tesla Trap.

**NeoVid** · 2010-07-20, 01:13 PM (ISO 8601)

Oh yeah, on the earlier subject of posting pictures and being amazed at how wrong we all were about each other's appearances, I'm the one in the camo jacket. Cloak Crab is the one with the white hat.

Hashabadawahbahdahawa

Is that a Street Fighter IV tournament?
Are you playing with arcade sticks?

Sir, I'm in love.
With a jealousy that burns like BlackFox's love for me.

**NeoVid** · 2010-07-20, 04:19 PM (ISO 8601)

It's not a competitive event... comp play ruins the fun of most games for me. And I mostly play BlazBlue over SF4.

But yes, several people attending bring sticks. I quickly found out that my years of playing on a pad left me unable to use even the basic combos with my main (Tager) on a stick.

Annoyingly, with my other two most-played characters, Arakune and Tao, I was able to immediately do combos that I have never once gotten to work in all my time in practice mode.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to finding out how far off people's guesses about my looks were.

**Jibar** · 2010-07-20, 04:25 PM (ISO 8601)

Worrysome and encouraging.
I've been considering buying a stick for SSFIV, for the proper atmosphere, but they're all so ridiculously pricey for some reason.

Of course I don't know why as I refuse to pay for XBox Live and none of my friends will play me because I'm a Fighting Game God.

You aren't actually a medic?

**Byrnbot08** · 2010-07-20, 04:29 PM (ISO 8601)

Just a heads up guys, I will not be available for some time this week due to my compy sulking whenever I try to login to Steam or use the internet.

I think she's refusing to play nice with my router and such. Either that or my ISP has gone bonkers again. Either way, I don't think I'll be around for a bit this week. Just when I got the hang of Alien Swarm as well.

**Rutskarn** · 2010-07-20, 04:48 PM (ISO 8601)

How do you guys LiveStream X-COM? Record your screen or what?

**Anonomuss** · 2010-07-20, 04:48 PM (ISO 8601)

Man, alien swarm is awesome.

Or maybe Awesome.

More like, just plain EPIC.

I really like it. And I had a great time mowing down the xenos menace with my rows upon rows of railrifle fire.

**potatocubed** · 2010-07-20, 05:11 PM (ISO 8601)

Tips for living a long and happy life in Alien Swarm:

1. Always combat roll into the end zone.

2. Do not dual-wield grenade launchers and take a pack of grenades as your utility item.

3. Do not stand between me and the aliens, because I am always using one of the following: autogun, minigun, flamethrower.

Hey, it got me to the landing pad!

Where I died by shooting a nearby alien.

**watsyurname529** · 2010-07-20, 05:30 PM (ISO 8601)

Electrified Armor is win because it stops infection.

**NeoVid** · 2010-07-20, 05:31 PM (ISO 8601)

(After recieving 8 invites so far today)

Dammit! If it's not the weekend, assume I'm not on a gaming computer, and I can't play anything!

ProCaster streams what you want it to stream. Just line up the 'camera' with X-Com's window and viola. It streams X-Com.
