Welcome to the world famous GitP Steam thread, where we discuss Steam and the games on it.

So, do we still have a Killing Floor server or is gametracker just broken?

**Dispozition** · 2010-12-23, 05:26 AM (ISO 8601)

IIRC we no longer have it. But don't quote me on that.

Well that sucks. Every time I played Killing Floor I was able to fill the server. It was only for a couple of hours at a time though, so I guess that isn't worth a whole dedicated server.

Also: Whoops. Looks like I quoted you

**Gamerlord** · 2010-12-23, 08:17 AM (ISO 8601)

Ah the sweet smell of a new thread

!

On another note, Deus Ex is HARD

**Penguinizer** · 2010-12-23, 08:39 AM (ISO 8601)

Remember to duck, be sneaky, and aim for the head. You also need to let the weapon crosshairs center. It's pretty easy actually.

**Jahkaivah** · 2010-12-23, 08:58 AM (ISO 8601)

Stick with the prod, prod with the prod, just in case though, we're police.

JC2 is a very funny game, as far as its physics go. Like propelling yourself towards the grouind with a hookshot slowing you down.

Oh god, I didn't do either of those

Youtube secretly has a sense of humor, it would seem

JC2 does not have physics.

JC2 has magic. Michael Bay magic.

I felt that way, the first time around.

Second time around, it was stupidly easy, and I'm not even sure what I did differently.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't just changing the difficulty. Pretty sure.

Edit: Incidentally, my Steam wallet will be recharged shortly. Just saying

**Neftren** · 2010-12-23, 10:02 AM (ISO 8601)

Once again, I seeketh a goode olde keye of thee festive variety-ee! Er... yeah, metal for one? :D

Oh nifty. I unbox a freaking Backscratcher with my stocking stuffer. /cry

Why can't I be blessed with the unusual luck!

**Dread Cthulhu** · 2010-12-23, 10:47 AM (ISO 8601)

I'm sitting on slate and lime-green paint if anyone wants to trade for either. Looking for new weapons, preferably of the Demoman, Heavy or Medic variety. Minus the Buffalo Steak Sandvich.

I got a Candy Cane as my festive stocking stuffer.

**Jibar** · 2010-12-23, 11:12 AM (ISO 8601)

Had a Vintage Merryweather drop for me randomly.

This would be my 3rd or 4th one, and I still don't want it.

Why Valve, whya re you tormenting me so.

**Volatar** · 2010-12-23, 11:17 AM (ISO 8601)

I just beat the story of Just Cause 2. I am now at 44.86% game completion.

Now the game gets fun

(I have no cheated at all until now. Now I will.)

The night before Steamas

Spoiler

Show

Twas the night before Steamas, when all through the servers

Not a creature was stirring, not even a spy;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that the AI director would take pity on us;

The members were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of free games danced in their heads;

And admin in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a noise,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter, my AK-47 in tow.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and smashed open the window.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a giant charger, and eight tiny infected,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be my death.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now,spitter! now, hunter! now, tank and witch!

On, boomer! on jockey! on, smoker and Horde!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of common infected, and the charger too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The clawing and screeching of each little brain eating abomination.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney the charger came with a bound.

He was dressed with the skulls of his victems and common clothing., from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with blood and guts;

A bundle of gift passes to l4D he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a demoman who was checkign his ammo.

His eyes -- how they glowed yellow! his dimples how awful!

His cheeks were like blood, his nose like a infected clown!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of one of his victems was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a litte round face face and a broad belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old infected,

And I screamed in terror when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A blink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had plenty to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod,as if to indicate "The director has decided to spare you this day" up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Steamas to all, and to all a good-night. It will be your last if you don't buy portal 2 next year!"

I have way too much free time.

I've used five so far, and I'm feeling your pain. I haven't gotten a normal hat, forget the unusuals. (Looking for a final festive crate so I can rid myself of this last key.)

In other news, I have more of the new weapons: Candy Canes, Fists of Steel, that demo sword I can't be bothered to spell. I'll give 'em away for a scrap apiece, but I'd like to get a Brass Beast, Steak, and crossbow.

**Silverraptor** · 2010-12-23, 11:51 AM (ISO 8601)

Left 4 Dead 2 is reinstalled. I'm ready to play again.

Iuhhno. Some metal would be nice, unless you have a hat you don't want.

**Silverraptor** · 2010-12-23, 12:29 PM (ISO 8601)

Could I get invited to the Left 4 Dead 2 group?

I have the new saw I'd trade for 'A Color Similar to Slate'. I'm kinda digging it.

Meet Rico Rodriguez.

Rico is a man with a problem.

You see, Rico is a mob boss. A really big time mob boss.

Rico's first problem is that his entire mob got themselves killed, so he now has collect his protection money himself.

Rico's second problem is that no one seems willing to actually pay their protection money. You see, everyone, literally everyone on Panau owes protection money to Rico, even if they don't know it. From the gangs to the government, the fisherman to the truck driver, everyone owes him money and yet pretends to be surprised when he asks them to pay up.

Rico is not a happy man. Not. Happy.

So begins his mission to extract his money from all those who owe him it.

Every. Last. One.
