It's weird, we had like at least 10 quitters at the start, but people still came and joined in, but in the 3rd map, we didn't get any new joiners.
Pretty much.

Of course it would probably help if I didn't do so many pube-stompin' games and did more GAF vs. GAF games. I guess.

I honestly didn't need to know what you did with pubes in your spare time.

That said, Volcynika should play with more GAF people. I would, except people like DaFish HATE ME and refuse to invite me to secretive Steam chatrooms where they plan their survival sessions (spoiler: everybody dies), on the weekend in the few hours when I can actually play.

I stomp them.

Quite hard, usually.

They cry or ragequit quite a bit, but sometimes they stick around for the entire round. It's the latter that make me really enjoy it.

I've managed to get to finales on expert solo, but I've never come out of one alive. It's just impossible to coordinate the bots in an intelligent defence, which is vital.

I haven't played too many vs since the update, but it seems harder to get a full gaf game going these days.

Hasn't Scarlet done the BH finale on expert solo? I'm pretty sure she said something about that.
 
I believe she did, which is some achievement. She managed to drag the bots up into the barn somehow, whereas whenever I tried it they would run back to meet me when I called the radio, or would sit at the bottom of the ladder, and it was just too frustrating to try more than three or four times.

L4D was pretty fun to play all night friday, although after beating all of the campaigns I'm not sure I would spend more than $10 to replay it
I'd spend 10 times that just for versus. :D

You're going to start missing it soon. :lol

I would pay a ton just for Versus. If I was told I had to re-buy the game again for versus, I would in a heartbeat.

95%+ of people's gametime is in Versus, you're doing it wrong

How about that versus last night, huh? Did you enjoy yourself?

I entirely blame myself for picking those teams :lol

I mostly feel bad because it's already like pulling teeth to get fox to play, and your 5 minutes of tank taunting I don't think helped.
 

Akuun

Looking for meaning in GAF
I cleared an Expert campaign for the first time the other day (on a campaign I've never cleared on any difficulty level since everyone just plays versus :lol) and while we managed to finish it, I died to a tank on the finale so no achievement for me. Oh well, it was fun - I rarely get to play campaign, much less on expert. Trial by fire and all that.

I'm -⑨- Only Human on Steam, or just search for Akuun. I'm usually up to play at night, Eastern time.

The "Let's Go" audio command seems to get the bots to follow you or move closer.

I think you're missing some of the game's modes.

Really? I didn't know that. If I ever had the desire to play it single-player, I would bind that command to the attack button (if possible.)

Yeah, I felt bad because he sounded a little gloomy pretty much the whole way through. Give that man a hug.

Did you feel bad when you were teabagging him with the tank? :lol :lol

Anyway I'm off until Wednesday, we need to play some gammmmmmmes. I usually don't actually get to play with you guys all that much, you're usually off or finishing a game by time I get home during the week.

It keeps track of your total zombies killed near the top of the stats page.

As for BH expert single player, I went up the ladder in the barn and walked over to the far corner, the one between the front window and the ammo, to get them all to climb up. That wasn't my main problem, though.

I have the zombie genocide achievement, but my stats page only shows like 25,000 kills. Think that means you should have close to 200,000, Red?
 

Easy_D

never left the stone age
What? Did they reset the stats on L4D or something? Says I only survived 4 finales :lol I know I've survived more than that!

Those of you playing survival better get your asses in gear! Sanjay,Fish, Pillow and I demolished a few of the GAF highest times. Most of those on our first try :lol

I just bought this not even knowing if it will run on my computer.
HL2 Ep2 ran quite good. Is that any indication or may I be fucked untill I buy my next computer? (as happened recently with UT3 :lol )

It's the Source engine.

You can scale back the settings to run on some pretty shitty computers. lol
You'll be fine.

Which ones? Pretty much, once we got 10:00 we stopped caring as much.

Considering how easy they were to beat, yeah, I guess so.

Oh, you've beaten 8 of them. Nice job. But...at least I knew walking through the metal detector sets off a horde. Not even a 40 minute survival time will counter that. ;)

He purposely ran through it, and that's what probably cost us the game. :(

We would have won anyways. We destroyed you guys on the finale :lol

Actually, it would have been really close

:lol Minor victory, but this won't save the rest of your survival scores.

I don't really care about them, but as long as you are having fun, that's cool. Am I supposed to be some kind of obstacle/good player? A lot of people here are far better than I am (try to beat syllo's times, for example). Well, whatever... have a good time with survival mode (RD and Vol want some help sometime).

You're supposed to get angry and stuff so we can have a war involving survival times damn it!
 
^that too

You were just the one to respond, we were throwing down the gauntlet to everyone in gaf. We set out to beat all the scores on our friend list, and mostly succeeded until fish had to go.

FFX blows

Who should my party be? I was thinking Wakka (Auron's path) + Kimahri (Yuna/Rikku/Lulu's path) + Auron (Tidus's path). Gonna mix it up from my usual group/s.

Make a party with only Lulu. She's the only worthwhile character in the game. And the only character that isn't retarded, cliched, or looks like the opposite sex.

Shit, I said I wouldn't talk to you anymore!

Her attack animation takes too long, main reason I almost never use her as a main party member. Update your survival progress though.

Just be happy I can't make tags, you'd have had Tidus fanboy extraordinaire for awhile.

Really? then we should create some artificial bitter rivalry among our selves. I here by challenge you all* to beat our super douche unbeatable times!
