I'd be game as well, especially if it's Versus.

I know Jibar would be up for a campaign run though...and perhaps vs. as well.

Toss either or both of us an invite!

Other things I rage about:
Missing things from lists.

Speaking of lists, updated the player list and teams list, plus I added a fancy new column to the table so if this gets locked before I can copypaste the table I will probably have a new thing to rage about.

Also: I would be looking at a campaign runthrough of The Passing first because I like to do that before versus.

...
NEW ITEM:
When Emlyn headshots me five times in a row.
When Emlyn says Medic is easy
When Emlyn's boolet and rockets always hit me
When Emlyn doesn't say "roof" even though I asked politely
When Emlyn plays on the server pretty much
...

Though most of those aren't rage-worthy. You just made me think of them.

Oh, did you guys catch up?

It's nice, if a little bit disorientating. Take advantage of lists, and take a few minutes to customize the view to your liking.

Doing so, then getting stabbed
Seeing crits and dodging into them
Falling off the platforms on Nucleus
People who interrupt Sandvich parties
The Equaliser
People who use the Equaliser
People who get the Equaliser out when you are healing them
People who get the Equaliser out when you are ubering them
People who condone the Equaliser

That is all.
Of course, you forgot to mention the following:

Being shot in the head by Byrnbot
Having Byrnbot wave at you in the killcam
Being tauntkilled by Byrnbot
Emlyn. Just... Emlyn.
Being killed when your Ubercharge is at 96%
Being killed just before you deploy an Ubercharge.
Having your Ubercharge buddy try to melee a Lvl 3 Sentry

In fact, Team Fortress 2 is just full of rage. Let's just skip it all and say that this game is for angry, masochistic people. Except for Emlyn. He's just angry.

So, I've been working my way towards fixing Powerstation for versus. Good news! I think the first map works, and the bots can find their way out of the saferoom now! Yay!

Okay, whatever.

My point was that regardless of how it plays in versus, Hard Rain is a great map when played in the standard co-op mode which is better than versus.

Today's Penny-Arcade news post made me realize one thing. Valve should make a sequel to Tribes (2), jetpacks and everything. Since the original developers have died a slow death, there's only one company I'd trust to make something remarkable with the Tribes IP. Intense multiplayer, multiple levels of skill for players, insane amount of detail, fair amount of balance, everything.

Or just add jetpacks and skiing to TF2.

I still think Spies should be getting those Batman-style grappling guns.

Sidetracking a little, does anyone play Synergy Mod? Might be nice to have a GITP/ChHa server for it, or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

Hell, could even try a Co-Op LP of the HL2 campaign or something. Maybe.

Just a thought.

It would fit so well thematically, it would greatly increase mobility and they'd add another dimension to the Spy's limited (in the sense of whenever having more than two targets, Spies usually end up dead) killing power. Apart from game limitations, there's no reason not to add a grappling gun. Some other classes are already able to take advantage of vantage points certain other classes can't reach, a limited grappling hook wouldn't be overpowered in that sense.

Some of the maps would have to take this in consideration for it however, apart from the few sniper spots where it could already be used (Pipeline, Nucleus, for example).

Did I ever tell you guys about my unlock idea to give the Medic extra mobility?

The Luftwaffle!

A delicious waffle that replace the needlegun. When the Medic eats the Luftwaffle, he gets low gravity for a limited amount of time!

I would never use that ever. Medic is already sort of a sitting duck, but his quick running and jumps give him some amount of dodging skill. Take away his quick jumps and he just lost alot of his edge over rockets.

So, thanks to Sleverin, I now own L4D2.

Excuse me...

*bounces off the walls*

Anyway, it looks like I'll have one chance to play before Realism Versus mode is switched out. Wednesday afternoon (Pacific) before my D&D game. Hope to see some of you then.
