thinking about it, Hard 8 probably stemmed from the fact that SI "twins" already appeared in the game randomly.

a game mode built around an in-game glitch. sweet. :D

it is actually pretty damn fun though. anyone try it on Expert? is it completely fucking impossible?

Good grief Hard Eight is tough :lol

Just when you thought you were safe, another spitter or jockey is up ahead. I played with a few GAF'fers last night, but at one point there were like three witches in one spot. :(

We did for Dead Center's first chapter. But we just tried to rush through the first and wasn't able to get inside the mall for the second chapter mostly because the Tank spawned there D:

I was spectating and I was so confused by that choice of spawn that I was too late to warn you guys.

So basically you fail at L4D2 so hard that you can't even ghost for the other team right.

I'm not familiar with the trick at all, but I think I know how it goes: the boomer spawns beneath the elevator and lets it crush him, thus spraying everyone inside, correct? (I know that the spray can travel through solid walls if the boomer is inside them. Maybe the same goes for the elevator entity and prop model)

even with all the hax, last nights game was pretty good

Yeah, I'm glad you guys ended up winning because I'm pretty sure Branduil was fixing to trace my I.P. and murder me in my sleep.

Started up a healthpackalypse game and I was greeted with
"how much dick have you sucked Minamu?"
:lol
I was impressed, in last night's game, I didn't hear anyone telling other people to "eat a dick". :lol

This was only because I was not on stallion and vert's team, however.

I think this was the first time that someone has been so direct to ME :lol I responded with "5 kilos" and the host said "oh, just me then" in the blink of an eye xD

While I understand that limiting weapons to melee, (single only?) pistols, and one hunting rifle makes it possible for the infected team to kill survivors more feasibly, I think it feels a little weird. But with chainsaws, miniguns, medkits, and a variety of other automatic weaponry, I'm not really sure how Valve intended versus mode to work. :lol Why did they make the hunter weaker in l4d2? Why did they make the tank run so slowly when it's on fire, to say nothing of explosive ammo? I really don't know.

So Left 4 Dead 2 has basically become virtually unplayable for me because of severe lag issues. net_graph tells me that my "in" value is multiplied by roughly 10 times (sometimes by even more) when I experience radically high ping or severe warping. What exactly does in signify, and what can I do to help keep it under control?

Ouch, that's pretty bad. Can you change your DNS servers, Botolf? Your ISP might be throttling your connection.

I just realized today that I messed this up. The mod I was playing allowed normal shotguns, machine pistols (or whatever those silenced things are), and Uzi submachineguns as well. I think I saw someone saying the shotguns are really bad so no one uses them much though.

I also tried a magnum, or some large 8-shot pistol, and it felt powerful and satisfying...until I found out I needed 3-5 shots to kill smokers with it. :lol Or else the bullet spray is really bad, or damage really tapers off at distance, or something similar.

Not exactly sure how to accomplish the bolded. Tutorial plz.

See if OpenDNS can help you (https://www.opendns.com/start/), as that's what I'm using. They'll walk you through the setup process, but if you don't have access to your router's setup page and just connect directly via a cable/dsl modem, you may be out of luck here.

You don't even have to sign up with them (though that'll make it easier). Just login to your router's setup and find the section that says static DNS 1 & 2 and enter 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, respectively. Save and you're ready to go.

Hope that helps you out!

Okay, I *think* I got it working. Hopefully it'll help :>

Thanks!

Man I wish I could have got into the last couple games with you guys. The pubs I've been playing on have been terrible, and my other group of friends have been irritating the piss out of me.
