Bahamut

Actually, I also switched for ctf_well as well haha.

Alright so tomorrow, I'm going to change Badlands for Gravel Pit. We had some pretty good matches going on today, although it led to the frustration factor being high for me . Sleazy is just too damn good.

Hahahaha what? Harmonix is the one who developed the original GH 1 & 2 games - Activision just published their games before, and when Harmonix ended working with Activision, Activision just took what they did and repeated much of the same, with the exception of online playing and adding boss battles. Perhaps you misunderstood the corporate reference - most big corporations in any business are loathe to innovate in their business, especially in the entertainment sector. It represents undue risk to them, since they tend to already have a stable business model. In the case of Activision, it's sequel pumping like no other.

DLC is a big draw for such an expensive title - it helped Rock Band immensely as well. I've seen or heard so many complaints about lack of DLC support in GH3 or Rock Band for Wii that people refused to buy them, or forswore buying any more GH series games. In addition, I don't know about you, but I don't have room for a new drum kit in my apartment with each iteration, or have the money to plunk down over $350 on two games every year. In addition, Activision is always going to be a step behind Harmonix, since they don't care to invest in innovation unless someone else does it first - it's your traditional big corporation. Unless they can prove that they can one up the experience by that much, reasons for justifying spending so much on GH 4 won't be there, and there's nothing to suggest that it will so far.

No vocals on created tracks is fail though. And Activision hasn't been very supportive on the DLC front, much less in providing a variety. This is a wait and see IMO.

Spies have a pretty small chance of living now with the pyros and their wanting to complete the spy related achievements. Also another plus about the PC version - it's easier to mute in it compared to on the 360, which I loathe doing.

For all those who haven't gotten the ubersaw yet: http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=posts&id=1653&cc=US This means the unlocks happen at 10-15-20 as well (or 10-16-22 if you count the Milestones as achievements).

He doesn't look too happy cutting that cake

I've still been killing pyros most of the time, even with their new bonuses. You guys just need to figure out how to neutralize pyro's advantages

And there you have it, xuck in action!

Just like to add that this birthday was a great day indeed - if I had known this was Andy's birthday ahead of time, I would've bought him 2 tickets to the Liquid Tension Experiment concert earlier.

It doesn't break it - the only thing that sucks is the class balance fucked up temporarily because of the mass pyros, but that will change in the next few days anyway just as it has changed after the medic pack.

You guys don't get the benefit of custom servers or extra maps or such though...admin controls are a must.

Well, I just remember many times when I was killing some of your teammates, I'd get scorched by a pyro and it'd always say killed by Sciz . Some very good players drop by the server at times though...I just hope less pyro whores are around soon. Also, I'm about to change Hydro for Well. Tell me how it goes everyone, as I won't be around tonight (Liquid Tension Experiment concert) Edit: Changed Hydro for Well and also changed Fastlane for Badlands. Right now the rotation is: Goldrush Badlands Dustbowl Goldrush Well Dustbowl Goldrush Dustbowl What do people think? The rotation has been like this for the past two-three days with Badlands and Well replaced by the respective earlier maps (Hydro, Fastlane, and Turbine).

Greyhound definitely goes there - good luck with a 4 hour bus ride though

Uhh, last I checked, birthday threads are still allowed.

Go take him out to a bar Jill!

YOU! You kept raping me, which doesn't happen overly often with pyros

So I got to play Fastlane, but it blows when you have unbalanced teams, moreso than some of the more popular maps.

He answers that question right here: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=24281#post24281

I liked Turbine today, but I STILL haven't gotten to play Fastlane so far. So tomorrow I'm replacing Turbine with Hydro in the rotation.

I dunno, as nice as something like this is, I don't like the idea of going on a bus dressed up. I think I'm gonna pass.

So I just added the new admins, and changed the map rotation to include Fastlane and Turbine. Also in case people didn't notice, there are now sections on the HLStatsX page for flare gun, backburner, and axetinguisher kills (in the daily awards). I also changed how people get the reserved slots - my suspicion is at 23/24, only admins are allowed on, so I gave everyone on the list admin, but not all the capabilities like what the full admins get.

I still have yet to get the axetinguisher . I think we'll pass on the achievement whoring tomorrow and just leave it as another regular day. Should I switch out 2fort for one of the other maps we haven't really done regularly, such as hydro or turbine?

So, tomorrow will be the normal open server, but Saturday will be a passworded achievement whore day.
