The NEW NPF Steam Game Night Extravaganza Funtimes Party Thread

[Pip Boy]

For reasons totally unrelated to the MYSTERIOUS THING, if anybody could point me to where I might find the My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic soundtrack, I'd really appreciate it. Totally off topic. Yep.

Why must you all make me download with my tiny, incomeptent internet connection?!

I'm playing some L4D2.

[Bells]

So, a while back my Steam simply went Kaput, and i lost all my downloads. Barely had the balls to re-do them until now. 9Gb for TF2 and 12Gb For L4D2... wuck.

But, that is done and in the near future i'll be back to cripple any team i'm a part of by Awkwardly positioning Turrets! ...or by Tossing furniture around if you guys decide to be awesome and play Halflife 2 Deathmatch.

On a related note... i just ended up getting Spiral Knights and War Inc. So i'll be joining you guys on those too. Now, i see many of you play Spiral Knights, but i don't see any of you playing War Inc.

So i went ahead and played it to check it out...

It's actually quite a fun little game. It's free, not very heavy (not top notch graphics either), it's your standard Online PvP FPS, except it's a 3rd Person shooter and there is a Level and class system.

As you battle you get more Xp that lets you earn new skills (like move faster, have more ammo, 5% less damage from explosives, that sort of thing) and every time you win you get cash that lets you rent gear and weapons (you start with 10k and the daily rent of a good weapon is around 1k, if you're good you can get more than that in a good hour of play)

The game also lets up to 32 players in 2 teams fight it out, and you can create sealed rooms with passwords, so no intruders. However, the game does not have native voice chat support.

it's a 1.2Gb download, i suggest you guys to check it out. Might be a fun alternative if you are looking at a more realistic Shooter to goof around online.

3 things:

1- getting blown up just as i was singing is bad

2- It does get less fun when the randoms outnumber the Shyrias

4 (cause that's how i roll) - I encourage all to turn on the option to play a sound whenever you cause damage, and then go Pyro or Engi with sentires... DingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDi ngDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDingDing

Tonight I airblasted a rocket into a cloaked Pip Boy.

This is probably not a thing that I will ever manage to do again, so I'm making a note of it.

That my friends is the sound of progress

[Jagos]

Is War Inc any fun?

[Arcanum]

Spiral Knights has PvP now, and Brink is having a free to play weekend (I'm assuming in celebration of the new DLC they releases). I'm kind of glad about Brink 'cause now I can see first hand if it's as horribly terrible as some people claim it to be.

[Overcast]

I tried War Inc. I didn't find it too amusing honestly, but then I also don't like 3rd Person Shooters on PC's so you may want to try it out yourself.

Guess what? I finally got a server working, it's really easy actually.

Anyway, my connection isn't the best and people have pings of at least 100, sometimes going over 250 so can anyone with a good connection try to set up a server? If my laptop can run BOTH the game and server just fine (that is, the server was working just like if I use my desktop PC for it and my laptop for the game), one of you should have a badass computer to do it too.

If you want to try it, do this:

• Go to the tools part of your steam library
• Download the Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server
• In your modem/router's firewall settings, add this ports:

• TCP: 27015, 27020-27039
  UDP: 27015-27020, 1200

• Do what post #2 says
• Start the server
• Add a pass in the player password to avoid non NPFers

If someone wants to try this and needs help on how to set the server, PM me or ask via steam chat
