I played it earlier...I have to say, they're pretty successful in how they market it, even though their conclusion from their premises is ridiculous.

I did! As for Risk, I think it takes too long. I prefer shorter group games these days like Bang! or Settlers of Catan.

It's not the challenge that really bothers me - it's the atmosphere + L4D is mostly a co-op game, and those type of games have bored me quickly in general (either type). If it ever goes on sale I may purchase it, but right now I'm cheap because I'm seriously considering purchasing this HDTV on Thanksgiving: http://bfads.net/Sharp-42-1080p-LCD-HDTV

I personally bought this HDTV back in September: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HL50A650-50-Inch-1080p-Slim/dp/B001413EJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222024449&sr=1-1 I don't regret it at all, such an amazing TV for my gaming & watching Illini football sucking ass.

http://www.bfads.net is the site to go to!

Newer console games look like ass on SDTVs now with all of the overload of effects they do now. GTA IV was near unplayably bad, and games like Lost Odyssey looked questionable at times on my shitty SDTV before.

So I know most of you already have 360s, if not all, but here's a pretty good deal if you don't have one yet (even if you don't want the games packed in): http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&ref_=amb_link_82351331_2&docId=1000305461

So I beat single player on the demo and...perhaps I'm the only one, but I don't care much for L4D. The creepy type of atmosphere just doesn't do it for me in games, and I got disinterested pretty quickly. I don't think multiplayer would change that for me at all either.

It could be the broadcast signal - the programming has to be designed for HD, and even then sometimes the networks (or in this case whoever designed the programming for the TV advertising) suck ass with it. I agree that oftentimes in store it looks kinda shitty or it's impossibly hard to tell the difference, but at home it's a completely different beast (assuming you picked a good TV).

What, there was a Chicago show?

Only need to care about using one console instead of switching between two?

Well I don't know what happened last Saturday, but as for this one, maybe it was because I added a lot of new maps to the server? Also, I'm going to try to add/fix the Extend Map option sometime this week.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you could put your PSN ID either.

So, thoughts on the new maps?

You're right, I just copy/pasted from the version on my hard drive.

Ahh right, time to pw lock it. Does anyone want a rotation change btw to include some new maps? It currently is: cp_dustbowl pl_badwater cp_granary pl_goldrush ctf_2fort tc_hydro cp_gravelpit pl_badwater cp_well cp_downtown_b3 cp_steel pl_goldrush ctf_turbine

For those looking for Wiis, quick, before they sell out! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009VXBAQ?tag=overclocked02-20&camp=15309&creative=331469&linkCode=st1&creativeASIN=B0009VXBAQ&adid=1PSZEW8716NYH71GZVDV

I just tested it, all map cfgs are supposed to be in the root cfg folder in order to work...which is nice! For example, does anyone want specific round settings instead of time limit settings for maps like dustbowl, goldrush, or badwater? How about time settings to be changed to a mix of round limits for maps like well or granary? Edit: Was it for an antagonistic reason, or because he's busy or what?

So...from what I've read elsewhere, it turns out that I was supposed to just put any map specific cfgs in the root cfg folder...so anyone want any map specific settings? i.e. alltalk, map time limit, round limit, etc.

Btw, does anyone want map changes to be based off of rounds completed or by time?

Updated the map list in the first post. I recommend people downloading all of these maps and putting them in the map folder, as some of them are quite large. In addition, what was the consensus on pl_strider? I never got to try it out

So I was looking around for some extra arena maps (since we haven't played arena in a while), and found a few that might be worth a shot at trying. Any thoughts on these? http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/63657 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/65313 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/64649 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/64978 Edit: Also some more payload map candidates: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/65823 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/67780 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/69292 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/62351 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/60212 And a cp one! http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/46179 I'll look for more maps a little later to potentially add, but I feel like we need a fresh rotation right now, or at least a fresh set of maps.

Did something happen with him?

No links to rips of game music in formats such as ogg or mp3 (especially of modern games) unless it's legal to freely distribute them.

They're just fine. Especially in a single player game, the difference is trivial.
