InkofDeath

Lol nice. You always have such more confidence when attempting to kill the witch when you know you either have to, or you'll die. Guess that's kind of obvious but I wouldn't risk it any other time. I'm just glad it was on versus, now doing that on expert is a totally different story, lol! What's really funny though is that it's easier to headshot the witch with a shotgun than with a sniper rifle. I'm gonna laugh at the DLC they release in the next few weeks and if it fixes the shotgun, than a lot will be pissed. -- Another thing is the tank dies far too easily in versus, though we've been over this in like page 21-23 I think. Fire alone is a 20-30 second time zone and than you die. Have at least two people empty 20 shotgun shells into the tank, and it's dead, which only takes 10 or less seconds. I think the arm swing needs to be decreased in recovery time and the hp needs a buff, or the defense does.

Told ya it would happen! =P And I promptly went up to a witch, sat down, looked her right in the face, and emptied 10 rounds of a shotgun into her before she could scream, and she happened to be so generous to drop this: I got so excited I fell down the elevator shaft...xD

So is this a Mario Vs Sonic thread, where we grief over how inferior Sonic has been marketed, and developed compared to the gaming industries #1 icon, Mario, and make sad pathetic excuses, that won't make up for anything at all? Cause that isn't a thread.

Mario doesn't get old, because he's re-invented every time. A mario in 1990s isn't a mario in 2005, nor one in 2008. Each mario game had a distinct different style in gameplay, (usually storyline was different, but it did involve the same characters, just different roles...plots). Mario can be a hero, plumber, puzzle master, or many other different things. He's a character that we've been conditioned to love and adore and think highly of, and because of that we buy the games he's in because we know there will be a different style of gameplay, the storyline will be different and something innovative will be put in the game, alongside creative gameplay as well. Also Mario has produced games that appeal to the masses. Sure plenty of games for niche markets or players, but altogether it basically means everyone will have a reason to play Mario. It's not so much that it's Mario, it's that he's used differently every time. He's never the same Mario in any game that he's in. He's always different and is always surrounded by differences and inconsistencies compared to any other game he's been in. You can excludes series from that, but each new game in the series offers different gameplay, or more creativness packed onto the previous games creativity and uniqueness. Sure there's been some crap games with Mario, but majority have been major sellers for the points made above. When the next mario game is announced most casual to enthusiast gamers will check the game out for sure. Why? Because deep down we know Mario is going to offer us something we either want or haven't seen before. --- This is why Sonic, and other game icons fail. The developers or publishers limit the creativity in the games, or stop developers from trying 'new' types of gameplay, because they might fail in the market. Sonic hasn't changed at all. It's still the same little hedgehog that is fast and can roll really fast. There's been nothing re-invented about Sonic at all in any of the games he's been in.

Next Zelda game. Mortal Online. Darkfall. Earthrise. Left 4 Dead 2 or Mod w/ fixes to exploits. Mechscape. Duke Nukem 3D(Vaporware!!!!) Next game release from Valve.

Most latest is in Left 4 Dead, when you have a tank coming to you just as you reach the safe house only to find that the tank spawns right outside of it, after you've already fought a tank, and the most randomist amount of hordes ever, with no molotovs to be found anywhere, on the third chapter(longest one). Freaking ridiculous AI Director. Another one I can think of is when you're at the end of a level, and your teammate just teamkills everyone and then does idiotical stuff until they die. On any game. >.>

Boomer totally owns if you're good at finding opportunities and observing possible distractions and then acting on it to get them from their weak spot. It's especially awesome in places like the elevator, or when they've gone into a room to camp a horde. Boomer shines when they're just leaving the closest/bathroom. However I find the smoker to be much more fun to play. It's just something about tongues and taking away a vital aspect to one group far away, totally disrupting how they've been sticking together and one runs off to aid the guy getting pulled, and the other two are still trying to find out whats happened or are getting hit bad by zombies forcing them to move slowly, and leaving opportunities for the boomer/hunters to easily get them to use a health pack/all of their hp. Smokers ftw! Than again Hunters are just awesome too. I'm really disliking anything but the smoker or the hunter.

Even with the closest though, if you muck up with reloading, or people don't get that one zombie that makes it through to you, then you're getting hit. I also think everyone can't get hit. Which just adds to the difficulty. Good luck whoever attempts it! - Any PC users though want to add me on Steam though? It's inkofpain on steam, but these 360'ers are starting to get annoying. :?

Most of the achievements I was thinking to get by actually doing the campaign, and I never really thought about using friends to get them, I guess I just wanted the challenge. =P Is the tank able to get in the elevator in No Mercy? If so, then that could get pretty bad, lol.

Returned that sounds epic, lol. Finally got the Back 2 Help achievement, that's one of the many that I feel hopeless about ever getting.

For me some days I don't mind, while other days I just want everyone to play fairly. Personal taste really. New versus maps should be coming soon as said by the guy in the podcast.

Another fun thing is failing Expert in under 2 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DESugIWe ... annel_page *I didn't embed cause you need high quality or high definition for it. Uploaded it to test FRAPS & quality though, so nothing special other than failing expert in under 2 minutes, lol.

Most will be annoyed, but it's catchy. astISOttCQ0 OH! eFdu1LAJ78I

Because both major OS companies are said to be releasing their new OS's with higher multi-thread support, and game developers are catching on to how to support quad cores better, and the overall development of programs are starting to mature and take advantage of quad cores. 2 years we won't have dual cores, or any software/hardware problem revolving around quad cores. Dual cores will become the Pentium 4 in 2 years for 'system requirements', if they aren't by a year to this day. Also for the graphics card, follow the extremetech link in jaerk's topic, 4850 beats it or the 9800 I think, either way still better for price or performance.

Yep, hp m8120n, with some hardware adjustments...

Lol, Tanks are the most easiest thing to kill ever in open concept areas. Train yard in Death Toll, Rooftop of No Mercy, and anywhere that there's a loop. The problem happens when a smoker, hunter or boomer get you. Mostly the Smoker though, they're the ones that get you screwed. Actually this is the reason why they put the 'rock throw' thing with the Tank. If anyone has gone through the commentary in No Mercy you'll find this particular commentary icon and it's quite interesting how the early testers abused the tank. As long as you got 80+ hp and can run backwards while shooting, and not bumping into anything, and while staying close to things to keep close to buildings to dodge the rock throws, you'll be good. It's when you get caught in places like Dead Air's office rooms, then you're screwed without fire. jysCkS9Im34 Shoulda stayed with the group.

So I got counterstrike, and so with playing on the servers, would things be downloaded onto my HDD, and later try to connect to the original server? Or would they have to go through steam first? Would explain by l4d, Cs:S are the ones that crash and lag so badly. I'm thinking I should allow the connection and stop blocking it, but I don't know if it's something 'negative'.

Nope.

For some reason symentec is giving me a pop-up saying someone is attacking my computer, with much dramatics: [hide=image][/hide] I'm QUINN-PC, and the IP listed in there is mine, though the next IP, 255.255.255.255, I got no idea what that is about, and is why I'm confused. I've done the scans with everything for malware/spyware, haven't done a hijack log, as I want to know if this is a program alerting the AV for X reason, or if anyone knows if it's a known reason. -- This is a hijack log done when the pop-up or the alert was popped up: [hide=log] [/hide] The problems that arise from this are: - Lower FPS in games - Programs or images will load slowly if clicked on while the pop-up informs you/pops up - Mouse actually skips out on DPI - Will crash games/programs on occassion (for games, the fps go low, screen blinks, sound stops & stutters, and then crash to desktop with windows telling me I just experienced a problem, lol) Thanks

Lol, I found the left4dead411 site and I laughed at these: http://left4dead411.com/news/2008/12/l4 ... ches-case/ Mainly though this one: 0AdsLTRWEdE Then again: [hide=Your Eyes Will Burn][/hide] Fun stuff: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/55246 Bad exploit: http://www.left4dead411.com/forums/inde ... topic=8171 And here's some news about DLC: http://left4dead411.com/news/2008/12/l4 ... ment-soon/ & the podcast: http://kotaku.com/5118863/chet-faliszek ... ite-subtly - Bad quality, but interesting though Yea, new maps & some new content perhaps! That's all I found, since most people were asking about some updates and none of this was posted, enjoy it or fail.

Found a forum for beta leaks. There is currently one person beta leaking on there. He's been identified as a credited leaker by the admins by giving solid information. So it's most likely true. Anyways here's the topic & forum: http://betaleaks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1619 You must register though to view the topic, and yes it'll so totally give you a virus that will kill your computer, so you should be AFRAID! Anyways in his last few posts he says that 'they are getting ready for the next phase of beta right away'. This was posted YESTERDAY. So hopefully that means good things for us. It's on page 17 of the thread. Kind of worrying they don't have things turned on, but meh, the other stuff he indicates about is enough for me.

Cause Xbox is like an ant & the pc is a god. /troll /lying about the troll :

Why mention something that you're not going to tell us about anyways? Lol, it'll lead us to either hating you, becoming more paranoid by the game's AI, or think your lying.
