Also more custom maps! I've requested cp_warpath, and I'm sure there are a bunch of others that'd be nice to add.
Last time I checked warpath, it had issues with the amount of time each point takes to capture.
-
Pacman is only set for 20 minutes or so, so it goes by quickly - one option could be to reduce the time even further to 15 minutes so it'd be effectively 10-15 minutes for the most part.
It's already set to 15 minutes, and the round ends if less than 5 minutes are on the clock when a round ends.
On another topic, people need to stop bugging me trying to get me to trade hats. Just because I unbox new ones doesn't mean I'm going to trade them. >:/
-
tosslecap and bakerboy ftw.
I never really liked Baker Boy.
Oh right, unboxed two more Festive crates today and got two more hats... Pyromancer's Mask (Pyro) and Larrakin Robin (Sniper).
-
New day, new deals... the interesting ones I see today are:
Amnesia: The Dark Descent for $6.80
The Quake Collection for $10.20. Note: Quake 4 is not on Steam, so it is not part of the Quake Collection or iD Software pack.
Dead Space for $6.80
Plants vs. Zombies GOTY for $4.00
I've been eyeing The Ball for a while, but I don't really know if it's any good, but it's part of today's sale. (Fun fact: It's published by the same people that make Killing Floor)

I'm torn between wanting to wear it all the time and screw the clipping issues with the Fez, or reserve it for when I'm not a Saharan Spy. Decisions...
I wear mine all the time.
I got a Flipped Trillby from my festive crate! I feel it's worth noting that this is the only non-event hat I have, because the hat gods hate me. And it appears to be broken -- in-game, it's an eye-searing white instead of its normal color. I have no idea if I got a painted one somehow, or if it's just bugged.It's still the best scout hat, though.
Really? Mine looked more of a yellowy white the last time I checked.
Also... best Scout hat? Whatever you say...
-
Damn, I'll have a lot of catching up to do once I get back to a decent computer again. (Just two more weeks...)
Also, I officially want Le Party Phantom. That thing is classy.
It looks strange when combined with the Fez (because the Fez has sunglasses)... but otherwise, it is classy.

I hate posting lots of posts in a row, but this is the current list of reserved slot holders:
FireSlash
Powerlord
FROGG
Sea Bear
Bark
Mav
Biohazard
We have opted to use the "Kick worst player" option... which should kick the non-reserved slot person with the lowest score.
P.S. You can't join a full game through Steam's server browser; you must join the server through the game itself.
-
We've installed a new server mod (which is whitelisted) that lets us add reserved slots.
Unfortunately, you need to connect to the server and have FireSlash or I add you via the admin web interface.
-
When we were cleaning up some extra files, we accidentally blew away one of the directories that had some of the HL2 Shared files in it that are required by TF2.
BLU and RED will be back up shortly, as we're copying the data from the event server.
-
I'm tempted to pick up Global Agenda, since it looked interesting... but I'm not sure how much it relies on its online component. Although, it does appear that its online component is now free to play.
-
A required update for Killing Floor has been released. Please update your server to remain compatible with all clients.
This update fixes an exploit in the Evil Santa's Lair map.
Server has been updated and restarted.
-
You didn't have Portal? They gave that one away not too long ago!
Also, since Portal's currently $7.99, why wouldn't you just get Orange Box for $14.99?
Unless he meant he picked up Portal for cheaper earlier in the week...
-
what game isn't worth 10 bucks!
Off the top of my head? Lucidity.
-
Slight settings change to the KF server... it's now VAC secured. Apparently it ignores it if you try to set VAC on the startup command line. It has to be done in the server configuration file.
-
The TF2 Beta Server has been taken down due to lack of demand.
-
So, today's sale is a rehash of some of their more popular sales from previous days.
Like Super Meat Boy for $3.75, Mass Effect games half-off, Borderlands stuff half-off, etc...
-
So, a few minutes ago, we discovered why our KF server wasn't queryable from Steam and then we fixed it. So, it'll now show up in your Steam favorites and friends tabs in the Steam Server browser.
Edit: To add the game to your Steam favorites list, you actually need to add 206.217.135.90:28852 (note the different port number). This is the game's Steam port.

For those of you who didn't see it on the Steam news, the Mann Co. Store is having a hat sale, this weekend only.
Of course, if you don't buy things from the Mann Co. Store, this news is totally useless to you.
Reminder: Hats purchased through the Mann Co. Store are not tradeable.
-
Was it here that someone mentioned wanting Sam and Max games?
While it's not on Steam, TellTale Games has a half-off sale on most of their products. While it doesn't include the TellTale Holiday pack (which, strangely, is a different pack than the one of the same name on Steam), it does include the Sam and Max Collection, which will go down to $24.98 when you put it in your cart.
-
Thank god, not much of interest for me today. All I got was Overlord.
The only problem with Overlord is that they never released the Overlord 2 arena-mode DLC for the PC version.
Granted, I wasn't that fond of the first game's arena mode, so no biggy there for me.
-
I got a JAG with my free key. FFFUUUUUUUU-
Whoops, my count is off... I've opened 5 Winter crates and gotten 3 hats, a Jag, and a Fists of Steel.
-
The Overlord games are pretty fun. Since you can get the Complete pack (2 games and an expansion pack for the first) for $3...
If you already own some of the Overlord games, the first game is $0.75, the Raising Hell expansion is $1.50, and the second game is $1.50.
Edit: Oh right, Overlord is like a demented version of Pikmin.
-
I hope a Festive Crate drops for me before it's all over. So I can use the free key on it instead of a standard. I want a tree hat
People were telling me that my tree hat was acting weird on a different server I was on yesterday, so I stopped wearing it.
I got the Festive Tree hat for my first crate.
In fact, to date, of 4 festive crates I've opened, I've gotten 3 hats...
-
So here's a fun TF2 story. I was happy to see that everyone's present was a freeibe key, because I have no intention of ever buying one of the damn things. I decide to use it on my Winter Crate for the hell of it, instead of one I have lying around with a few hat possibilities, and I wind up with A Rather Festive Tree. Cool stuff. I then wind up getting another Winter Crate, which I trade to my brother. Now my brother just started playing TF2 this week, as I finally nagged him into buying the Orange Box during a recent sale. So he uses his key, opens up the crate...and gets an Unusual Flipped Trilby with the Vivid Plasma effect. Best of all, the bastard didn't even know what was significant about it until I gasped over it, and he doesn't even care all that much in the long run. So yeah, that was my night.
(Though on the plus side, I did have a Whiskered Gentleman drop for me today, so it wound up being a pretty good day as a whole.)
That... *sucks*. Some of us have been opening tons of crates and never getting unusuals, and someone new opens one with a free key and gets one? >:/
I can't WAIT to see Brushfire's reaction to this.
er... but congrats on the Festive Tree and Whiskered Gentlemen.
