Re: [Steam] Thread XVI: The biggest in-joke in gaming
I miss the funny trailers. Its not as if anyone playd left 4 dead as a serious game.
Also, Im giving in and buying the pack - Not that I think its a good idea to charge for items, but more because I want valve to give more money to valve for tf2. I dont think I have to, but I feel that if I can, I should.
A custom campaign for L4D2 that will astonish and amaze you! Play through the Haunted Mansion ride! It's like Disneyland, but with zombies! Fight through the mines of Moria! It's like the movie but with zombies!
I want to play a campaign of this with some people this weekend, if possible. I'm free most of Saturday and all of Sunday.
I would love to play that, but I'm busy all of Saturday and some of Sunday. Perhaps Sunday evening GMT?

Alas, I have the Tyrant's Helm, and thus do not want the Soldier's Stash...Ze Goggles, on the other hand, are appealing, but that may not be the greatest trade ever on your end.

BUT YOU HAVE THE CROCO-STYLE.
All the stylishness of a Crocodile, and all the MANLINESS of an Australian!
Sydney Sleeper + Jarate + Bushwacka = Jarate Master
Also I have taken a vocational specialisation in Jarate, and will spend the next few days shooting Jarate at people and chopping Jarate-covered things in two.
I wish to trade my three reclaimed metals for a Master's Headband. PM me please.

So I had four hats. Beanie, Vintage Vintage Merryweather, Yellow Belt and Bonnet.
Then I get a random hat drop. As my first drop since the update.
It's a Yellow Belt.
After the prerequisite WHAT GUYS, WHAT; it turns out Magnus has a brain slug and is willing to trade.
My luck amazes even me sometimes.

I guess that’s not really an excuse, but I did say these would be sincere.

With that hat, I could fill the grand canyon.

Chocolate Hammer IRC: A how-to
Quote:
You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining Internet Relay Chats. I thought so much of this IRC channel, after having been elected to establish operator powers , here, in this #chocolatehammer, so thoughtfully provided by our benefactor. I am proud to call #chocolatehammer my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through to parts unknown, welcome, to #chocolatehammer. It's safer here.
Join us in #chocolatehammer on irc.sorcery.net, using the password of chha
There are many ways to connect to and enjoy IRC, either by using a web client, a traditional desktop client, or by using a plugin for your browser / game. If you already have some experience using IRC but would like to know more, once you're inside the channel, any questions you might have should be answered by those already present.
Web
Spoiler
Mibbit
One of the most popular and easiest web clients around, Mibbit only asks for a nickname, server and a channel. It runs on all sorts of browsers, both mobile and desktop variant. To connect to #chocolatehammer, connect to the server first (irc.sorcery.net), after which you type in
Code:
/join #chocolatehammer chha
However, Mibbit is terrible and you should get a real client.
Desktop
Spoiler
There's a Brobdingnagian amount of desktop clients available, like mIRC and XChat, both of which are the easiest to set up, and with the latter useful for different operating systems. Beside those, there's Pidgin, Colloquy, Adium, ircII if you're adventurous, MirandaIM, and a whole slew of other such clients. I'll briefly describe mIRC, XChat and Adium here.
mIRC
Once you open mIRC after installing it, a screen should appear which asks for your name, email and nickname. Only your nickname is of importance, the rest can be gibberish. Once you have set these credentials, you have to choose the server. You can select Sorcery.net from the dropdown menu, or enter irc.sorcery.net and once you connect, it will ask you which channels you want to visit. You can type in #chocolatehammer chha where it's needed, and it'll connect you, but you might want to set it to join the channel automatically, should you wish to return.
XChat
XChat works pretty similar to mIRC, and following the steps above will work just as well. Otherwise, when you're in a terminal, type
One of the more popular ways to connect to #chocolatehammer is the ChatZilla plugin for Firefox. Once you have it installed, all you need to do is open it from your Tools menu, configure as desired, then type
Code:
/server irc.sorcery.net
and
Code:
/j #chocolatehammer chha
once it finishes connecting.
