A pity, because I would trade a fez for a Tricone and a few Refined.

Wait, seriously a Fez? Huh. I guess I haven't quite gotten the HATS fever. Oh well, I guess I'll have to learn from mistakes. Probably best that I learn it now rather than later.
But eh, I'm still a little giddy from having a vintage weapon for my favorite class.:smallsmile:

Hey, I'm sorry. I feel like a real jerk, and would like to apologize about my rather blunt opinion. It's a mistake you'll make, and will soon make up. (I once traded a Rather Festive Tree for 2 reclaimed and a Crossbow.)

But this is TF2, the whole thread is obligated to suddenly turn overly angry and argumentative, and generally be horrifyingly serious about the whole thing.

But as we all know, we talk about other things. Like Fallout, because the ridiculous glitchiness of GameBryo is unacceptable, I've realized one thing: Life's a glitch. Then you die. /Simpsons Reference

If anyone needs any of the yellow items on the first page of my backpack they're free. The strange weapons are available but you'll have to offer me something for them.

I've only got one refined...


Thanks... wait, what!?

Yup.






Anyone have two crates by any chance? I've got two keys and I kinda want to try my luck.

Alternatively, I need like, three more keys and I can go trade five keys for Civilization V... :smallfrown:

If there are any Stranges you would be especially interested, your best bets would be the crate(s) those can come from.. or series 19+ in general, so you have a decent chance of getting something with some trade value to it. Otherwise, you'll most likely just get a standard weapon for your trouble.

Gentlemen. I have a Strange Bushwacka.

Now, I have the Jarate Practitioner's equipment, all in Strange format.

Now to begin my epic of waiting for a Jarate Master's Headband. This should take three years and involve voyages into the unknown world, pushing bombs and stealing blank sheets of paper, combating weird beasts such as the Octo-Heavy and OddScout.

If you're planning on using the Slinger and Sleeper for specific recipes rather than scrap you may as well take them. The other two are yours if you want them, just send a friend request some time.

I finally checked my email after about a week (YOU HAVE 200 NEW YOUTUBE MESSAGES) because I'm heading out for an all day birthday party dnd game, and I normally skip over the few messages that tell you people have subscribed to you....

Then I saw this
http://i55.tinypic.com/2zebatw.jpg

He subscribed to me, and yes, it's legit. It's thee chungaconroy (http://www.youtube.com/user/chuggaaconroy) who has hundred thousands of subscribers and has one of the most annoying fanbases of all time :( It all started around when he did his okami let's play (which I heard of and it made me very happy because Okami is my favorite game and needs more recognition). When he did the lets play he linked to a few of my Okami soundtrack videos and I was raided by fan boys spamming "CHUGGAAAAAACHUGGAAAAAA" all over my videos and I had to do nothing but police it for awhile so a flame war wouldn't break out between the non fans and fans of this guy. Chugga eventually PM'd me about all this and I explained why I did it and we had a great conversation about Okami and the development of it's sequel Okamiden.

This is pretty surprising because I haven't done youtube projects for so long... Maybe I should start up that project idea I had for okami again, play it with music off and edit music from other games over it to give it a different feel. Just I know only so much music and there are literally hundreds in the Okami soundtrack. I'd play other games, but my commentary is only good in blind LPs of scary games so people can laugh at me while I cry.

Atomizer. Got a random drop, never mind.


Um, I dunno. Any recommendations?

You could take a look at the wiki page on crates (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Crates). It lists all the possible contents for each series.

And, if we're linking our backpacks, here's mine (http://tf2b.com/?id=76561198024973681). Any weapon I have more than one of is up for trade, as are the name tags and all the crates.
Looking for weapons I don't have or things I can use to craft them, said weapons being:

Sun-on-a-stick
Atomizer (Though if I can just get this from thetsyman obviously discount it) Got a random drop, never mind.

Haunted metal is untradable unless you have giftwrap. Keys are NFT, and I'm trying to get three more of them so I can trade for another copy of Civ 5.

Hmmm...how about the hats? Are there any hats you're willing to give to me? Or even Refined metal? Any metal at all you're willing to give?

Edit: Just realized that since I'm not Premium, I can't give you anything in return if you trade me a hat or metal.

I'm down to my last few items here peeps.

Cross posted from server thread.

Good news! For at least the next month there will be a dedicated server for GiTP to use for the game Natural Selection!

What is this?

Natural Selection is a hybrid FPS / RTS that pits Marines against Aliens ("the Kharaa"), played primarily in the first-person perspective, within the confines of large atmospheric maps of spaceships or space stations, which have been invaded by the Kharaa.
[/Wiki]


How do I get this?

As a mod for the original Half-Life you must first own Half-Life on steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/70/). Then you can visit the website for NS to get the download (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/download/t), as this game is a mod for Half-Life it is free to download it once you have Half-Life. Please note that to install mods for Half-Life you must run the game to a gameplay screen at least once. This means going into at least training mode and not exiting until you can walk forwards.


What do I need to know?
There are two gameplay modes. NS mode is the main mode and is a FPS/RTS hybrid. CO is a bonus mode without the RTS element but with a slight RPG element. Most of the talk here will be about NS as it is the main mode and much more complex.

There are two teams:

These guys (Marines):
http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab170/tsythe4th/Marine.jpg

and

These guys (Aliens):
http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab170/tsythe4th/Gorge.jpg

They do not like each other.

Marines:

One player is the commander, he plays the game as a top down RTS. The other players appear as troops and he can left click select them and right click to give them orders, unlike regular RTS games this doesn't send them to a location but instead gives them a marker they can see through walls that tells them where you want them to go. The commander also places down the foundation of structures which the regular marines build by holding the use key. The only player with access to the team's resources is the commander who can use buildings like the arms lab to research upgrades and he can also place down new weapons and items like jet packs for his team to pick up.

The marines lose the game when all of them are dead and there is no infantry portal for them to respawn in. If the command chair is destroyed and the commander has not built a back up one then the marines will no longer be able to build anything though they could theoretically win from this position still.

By default the marines are very squishy dying to the most basic alien in about 3 bites and they move slowly, they are however much more adept at ranged combat than the aliens.

Late game marines generally wear heavy armour which gives them a lot of health and use weapons that can kill all but the strongest aliens in less than a second of firing.

Windows 7 and Vista uses set "cl_gammaramp 0" if your commander UI is not displaying properly.

Aliens:

There is no commander for the aliens. Resources are spread out between the whole team and everyone has a max of 100 resource. Aliens right click to bring up a menu that gives them choices including evolving into a new life form and evolving upgraded abilities (faster movement, health regeneration etc.). Your evolutions are reset upon respawning and you can change your life form at any point providing your have the resources. The gorge class of alien can place and build structures at the cost of his own resources however he does this in first person and there is no limit to how many gorges your team can have at a time. Unlike the marine team who respawn at infantry portals the commander can place anywhere the aliens spawn at hives, there are 3 set hive locations in every map and they are the only places that the alien team can build hives. The more hives the aliens have the more upgrade abilities they can research and the more attacks they have. When all hives are destroyed aliens no longer spawn and begin losing health continually, a hive can still be rebuilt from this position providing you survive long enough and have the resources to do it.

The default alien is the Skulk. The Skulk doesn't have very much health however he moves quickly, is small and can stick to walls allowing him to attack the marines in ways reminiscent of Alien. The Skulk's bite attack is fast and can kill basic marines in ~3 hits and a good Skulk can close the distance quickly. An alien player can very quickly evolve from a Skulk to a Gorge who is less mobile and offensive than the Skulk but has more health, better supports moves (including healing) and can build.

End game aliens include the Fade and Onos. The Fade can move at ridiculous speeds, regenerate his health, shoot acid rockets that do splash damage and has very powerful claws. The Onos has a ridiculous amount of health, deals a lot of damage and can devour enemy marines whole with his special "devour" attack. There is also the Lerk who can be accessed a little later into the game than Skulk and Gorge but not as late as Fade or Onos, the Lerk is a low health flying class that can harrass enemies with poison gas and spikes, or protect allies with its bullet proof mist.


Resources:

A resource node:
http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab170/tsythe4th/Resource_Node.jpg

For both teams resources are spent to upgrade your players and build buildings. Resources are harvested once every few seconds by resource towers planted on resource nodes. There is a set amount of resource nodes in each map and the struggle over the resource nodes is one of the most important aspects of the game.

CO mode:

This mode is good for new players and small games. There is no building in CO mode instead each team has a home building they need to defend (Commander Chair for Marines and Hive for Aliens) and they lose the game when this building is destroyed. The maps are far smaller and instead of getting resources for upgrades you level up after a certain amount of kills and gain points to spend on upgrades.

If you've never played this game before and are interested make sure to read the manual (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/static/comm_manual/basic/index.htm) or at least the quick start guide (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/static/comm_manual/basic/quickStartPointers.htm), as a hybrid RTS it is more complex than most FPS games.

The default minimap key is C, use this a lot.


*

Anyway the server is very basic right now as I haven't done any customizing on it so far but it is fully functional for playing NS and I can admin on it.

Despite my dislike of Steam, my recent purchase of Shogun 2: Total War has forced me to boot up Steam again during installation. This comes with an incredibly slow download (70-80 kb/s) as it installs the last 17% of the game from Steam instead of the disks. Does anyone know how to improve the download rate on this god-forsaken program so the remaining 2,400 MB don't take days to download?

If you're in Seattle, gimme a buzz sometime. I've been in contact with Tokromar in Mountlake Terrace and AeonWarior in Kingston, while I reside in Edmonds. Again, gimme a buzz.

As for Forbiddenwar, I'd take that sleeper off your hands. I'm apparentely the only person (read: McJerkhole la Cheapguy) who uses the Snaggletooth set in the entire server, so a rifle to track all my counts of Valve-Endorsed-"Griefing" is well appreciated.

Yeah, internet in general here sucks. The fastest you can get here is about 10MBPS, and the least is just pathetic, with around a measly 50KBPS. That is the only reason to hate living here in Washington.

A moment of pedantry follows:

kb = kilobits, kB or KB=kilobytes. 100 kb = 12.5 KB. KB is what your browser shows when you download.

A T1 carries just under 200 KB/sec. Your college probably has a fiber connection.

As I mentioned yesterday, TheMagicalCake and I have created and posted our first video on youtube (The Sneaky Spy Crab). We've been coming up with ideas for another video, and we came up with one we can use on Payload. The problem is, we need a few people willing to help make it. Anyone interested?

Pretty sure most hats are worth at least a Refined.

depends on the person and the hat. Some people don't like/want hats, but do strange weapons.
As I said, everything is negotiable. I can see trading 2 strange for a hat.

Yeah, internet in general here sucks. The fastest you can get here is about 10MBPS, and the least is just pathetic, with around a measly 50KBPS. That is the only reason to hate living here in Washington.Our connection provider person whatever thing was ripping up cables and replacing them. They were supposed to be finished Friday but apparently they did not finish until this morning, hence the slow internet. It's all good now, since it finished downloading overnight.

All trades follow market value if everybody knows what market value is. That only happens if the marketplace involved has free and easily accessible information about pricing, like RL stock markets and most MMO auction houses. TF2 trading is all individual unmediated transactions- it's not like you open up the trade window, choose an item, and get a popup telling you what other trades involving that item were worth.. I would dare say the majority of TF2 trades are essentially completely new and single-use markets between any 2 random users, which means there's no way for market value to develop and settle. If you're not a member of a TF2 trading forum where there is a broader marketplace to determine that stuff, the best you have to go on is the Mann. Co store pricing.

This is why vermont is better. Lax gun laws all around. You can buy guns when you're 16, ammo when you're 18, and either your parents can give you either at any time. And from what I know, vermont had no restrictions on guns from other states. The US has a few import restrictions, mostly on fully automatic things. Note: this may not be completely accurate. From memory of looking it up a bit less than a year ago.

I somehow managed to basically not play Dredmor (or want to do so at all) since the patch, which is odd. I also got bored with Space Pirates And Zombies in record time which, given the title, is rather unexpected.

That said, I've been playing a lot of Street Fighter 4, by which I mean bumbling about in a storm of punchy incompetence.

Y'know the PC I've been hyping for months now? The one I didn't speak of for three threads? WELL I JUST ORDERED IT! :biggrin:

It's not a super special PC, but I get a free copy of Just Cause 2, and it has 8GB of Random Access Memory.

Here's the full spec sheet, courtesy of ibuypower.com:

1 x Case (Battalion 101 CZ-12 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 Widescreen LED TFT Laptop w/ HDMI Port, Li-Ion Battery, Universal AC Power Adapter - Original Metallic black))
1 x Processor (Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM Mobile Processor (4x 2.00GHz/6MB L3 Cache)))
1 x Memory (8GB [4GB x 2] 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM [Laptop Memory] - Corsair or Major Brand))
1 x Video Card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 2GB 3D Video))
1 x Primary Hard Drive (640 GB 5400rpm Serial-ATA Super Slim Laptop Hard Drive))
1 x Optical Drive (8x Dual Format DVD±R/±RW + 16x CD-R/RW Combo Drive [CZ-12]))
1 x Sound Card (3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard))
1 x Speaker System (None))
1 x Network Card (Built-in 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN [Laptop]))
1 x Mouse (iBUYPOWER Internet Mouse))
1 x Operating System (Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium + Office Starter 2010 (Includes basic versions of Word and Excel) - 64-Bit))
1 x Warranty (Standard Warranty Service - Standard One(1) Year Limited Warranty + Lifetime Technical Support))
1 x Rush Service (Rush Service Fee (not shipping fee) - [RUSH !!!], Ship Out in Next Business Day))
1 x USB Ports (Built-in 2x USB 2.0 Ports + 1x USB 3.0 Port [Laptop]))
1 x Video Camera (Build-in 1.3 Mega Pixels Digital Web Video Camera))
1 x Headset (None))
1 x Internal Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Combo [CZ-12]))
1 x Flash Media Reader / Writer (Built-in 3-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer [Laptop]))
1 x Carrying Case (Free Deluxe Carrying Case))
1 x Free Stuff ([Free Game Download] - Just Cause 2 - Free with Purchase of NVIDIA Video Card))

It's nothing special, but it can take care of the games I want to play on decent settings, like Coddy BlOps on High at 60FPS, Starcraft II on High at 40, etc.

It's other DLC with deck unlocks and foils are not worth a penny. Foil skins are bugged and decks unlock if you just play the game.

If you have the money around it wouldn't hurt It's $10 for game and $5 expansion. I've been a casual magic player for awhile and this fits the way I like to play. I should note that the decks are pre rendered with set cards, you can remove the ones already in it though so you don't have to have cards you don't like. Each deck has it's own play style and chances are there is one that should fit you.

Multiplayer does work, at least for me. Its online only right now, and you can even play co-op with 2 other people against an archenemy AI (or player with new expansion) or 2v2 against AI or other players. I do want to try a 4 player free for all sometime for sure...

2012 version came out a month or 2 ago, 2013 will not be out for awhile, I wouldn't bother with waiting.

I'll swap you a Targe for any pyro weapon. I need two more to smelt a pyro token.

The only reason he's putting ads up is to hopefully net the forums a better server. The more adblockers there are, the less chance of that happening. :smallfrown:

Fair enough. I just have adblocks. It goes by pageviews anyway, doesn't it?

The Linker
2011-09-16, 10:52 PM
It goes by how many times the ad's loaded up, IIRC. Unless that's just how some other, not-Project-Wonderful ad company I'm thinking of does it.

Obligatory. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14)

The Giant's revenue from the Project Wonderful ads is 75% of the winning bidder's price-per-day times the ad's server-side uptime. It's completely independent of both clickthroughs and pageviews -- at most, your adblocker use only affects the "hits/day" chart that PW uses to give advertisers an estimate of how many views they could potentially get for their money.

On the other hand, though ... since advertisers are placing bids on specific adspaces on specific sites, PW ads are very frequently geared towards viewer interests -- the two I've noticed in my visits today have been for another RPG-oriented site and for the LP: Gengame thread on this forum.

Adblock stuff. I'm gonna wait and see what gets advertised. If it's annoying/super-distracting, adblock goes back up. Otherwise, it's quite fine for me. Don't mind helping out with the forum server in that regard.

Worira
2011-09-17, 02:11 AM
Yeah, the ads are pretty darn OK. So far I've seen ads for a site with DnD podcasts, and a fiction magazine, both of which I might check out at some point.

Not to mention some of the ads are for GitP threads. I mean, that's just kind of cool.

The Giant mentioned that there will be no audio ads, no animated ads and all ads will stay in that box, and won't expand and take over the screen.

Yeah. Right now I think the main bidders are other forumites using the opportunity to plug their favorite stuff while helping to support the forum.

We should totally buy the adspace for just a day to advertise the steam thread.

I'm also unblocking this ad from opera adblock, since it seems rich might need some help.

@Scuzzball

As for things I could give you.....I could possibly photoshop something/create a banner/logo for something for a key.

Or maybe I could just give you an internet hug.

So after about five minutes with Infinity Blade, I can say many things about it.

1. HOLY COW THIS GAME LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

2. UNREAL?! IN MAH IPOD?!

3. HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY DO THIS?!

4. The gameplay's alright. No, it's freaking amazing.

And then I tried to play Deus Ex. I may have vomited on my old PC, in realizing that was UE on a PC, and this is UE3, on my iPod.

Mirror's Edge is notably frustrating at times, with a great deal of retrying certain parts, either because you die, or because you're doing a time trial and that cost you a couple too many seconds. Once you get fairly good at it, though, it becomes very fun indeed. Note that the plot's quite silly, but this doesn't matter. Fantastic art, great movement... overall I like it a lot. Would certainly get it for £3.

If you do get mirrors edge though, and you don't have an Nvidia, turn off phsyx, or your game will crumple in certain areas. Took me forever to figure it out the first time I did it.

I'm not totally sure how the ads work, but the Project Wonderful site says Canada traffic is selling for one dollar, euro traffic at one dollar, US at five dollars and ten cents, and everywhere else at one dollar and ten cents.

I assume all prices are USD.

It is the day in which all the little boys and girls gather together underneath their wallets and buy Cogwheel things. There are many songs and stories related to this day, such as:

The night before Cogsmas
The wallet-cracker
Robin the Red Nosed Designer
Here comes Shadow Claus
Gaben got run over by a Reindeer
Steamy Night

And of course:
How the Gabe stole Cogsmas
