The NEW NPF Steam Game Night Extravaganza Funtimes Party Thread

[Pip Boy]

Come one, come all! Watch as Pip Boy grinds his face on a wall in frustration! Hear a managerie of swears you thought not possible! Behold the glory, terror, and wonder was Pip Boy faces... Super Meat Boy!

I'll try to also have Alpha Protocol by then, in case Meat Boy gets boring.

I'll watch if you post the link :P

NVM, I was mixing the twitch.tv with the livestream one, here's the livestream one.

Well since everyone and their mother is doing some livestreams, I figured I would jump onto the bandwagon.

Here are your choices:

1) Diablo 3 Hardcore
Because real men only die once. Blizzard server lag coupled with when livestream inevitably decides it wants to fuck with me and fiddle with my fps or ping will make this especially interesting. Also, everyone watching will have free reign over every choice I make, from class to skills to items. If the popular vote is to run through, or even murder everything in, a dungeon while naked with no weapons, that's what I'll do. This choice has the added fun of up to three of you joining in on the fun.misery.

2) Quantum Conundrum
The game is pretty fun, although there won't be much room for viewer interaction.

3) Deus Ex: Human Revolution
So many choices! Plenty of augs and paths to choose, not to mention the ability to play as a mass murderer or a sneaky pacifist.

4) Jade Empire
An amazing RPG by Bioware. Old game, but still plenty of chances for viewer interaction.

5) Any other game I own
Take your pick

D3 Hardcore, No question about it.

[lazy man]

Much as I'd love to join the D3 Hardcore game, I'm gonna be away from my computer for half a week (again). Tell me if you're going to be doing it again, I think it'd be fun.

Well I won't be streaming until Best Buy sends me my gift card for the broken headset I sent them, since my current microphone sits on my desk and likes to cause an endless feedback loop on livestream (since I can't figure out how to get push-to-talk to work, if it even exists, on livestream's procaster thing).

Me and Aldurin were playing some Tribes: Ascend the other night, and while Tribes is always a learning experience with a high curve, (and the graphical requirements are troublesome, remember to set it to only 1 cpu in Task Manager if it freezes at the login screen) the new game is a blast that makes it easy and fun to get from A to B.

Everyone kinda sucks when they first pick it up, and if you're used to a conventional FPS, you'll find yourself out of your element, but when you manage to kill someone with an explosive glowing blue frisbee at range while you and your opponent are moving at ludicrous speeds, it certainly makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It's also a game where everyone gets a rocket launcher or a grenade launcher, and yet the game is completely fair about it.

What I like about this game over the older games is that Skiing is now much easier, you just hold the space bar to slide and let gravity and your jetpack take over, and you get points and cred for doing what you should logically be doing, even if you're not so great at actually killing the other players. A low level player will actually get plenty of experience destroying turrets and repairing their own team's turrets while they work on getting better at frizbee death and skiing, so when they unlock the better weapons and kits they'll know how to use them.

And the maps are large and beautiful!

Time to break out the Monkey Avatar again.

Also all of the people owning Killing Floor, bit of a PSA. Try and launch it, it will then convert Killing Floor into the "new and more efficient" content Valve was talking about a few months ago that apparently makes performance/downloads on Steam faster. You are essentially re-downloading a good chunk of the game, so it is better to know now so to not get blindsided on Steam Night this weekend.


Also HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY FINALLY DID IT.

Do you hate Thumpernicians yet?

If no, you haven't been playing for long enough.

I used to hate them, then I learned to have a priority of jumping and/or cloaking around them in an erratic manner (I exclusively play Infiltrator right now so I spend a lot of time fighting off technicians at either generator.)
