I has Team Fortress 2 Now.

TheMightyAnonym

URG, typos. I would fix it, but then *your* post would look weird.

Anyhow, I care because lots of fanart makes references to things that I can never know about, which bugs the hell outta me.

TF2 looks like such a fun game. One of these days in the distant future, I will pirate it for an emulator and have no one to play against.

Anyone here plays VS Saxton Hale?

Myrmidon

If Hydro was one of the original maps, why do I barely ever see any servers running it?

Blueeyedrat

Hell if i know, man. When I finally take up mapmaking, I want to design more TC maps. It's an interesting mode, if you have enough players to attack and defend.

Protip: It's free-to-play.

OrangeSpider

Because Hydro is not a fun map, Myrmidon. Matches end way too quickly. Under 45 seconds quickly.

> pirate it for an emulator

.....an emulator for what? Windows?

TheMightyAnonym

^Oh, right; sorry, force of habit...

^^^Now if only I could actually run it.

glennmagusharvey

Wouldn't it be worse if you emulated Windows on your computer, then, and then tried to run it within emulated Windows?

ninjaclown

Basically, he pirates every game, even ones he doesn't realize have become free.

IMMA PIRATE ME SOME CAVE STORY AND SPELUNKY

TheMightyAnonym

I actually first found cave story on a Japanese site and later on found it on TvTropes, hence resulting in a dramatic shout of shock and awe that it was both well known and translated.

Coincidentally, it is not free if you want it on the 3DS/Wii/whatever.

^^Well, I figure that just about everything that my computer can actually run is abandon-ware already, unless for some reason it is ESA protected. In which case I go to extra lengths. I really hate the hassle of bittorrent, so I avoid it whenever humanly possible.

Eventually, however, I will have a laptop which may very well actually be able to run stuff like Starcraft 2 (fan squee), which will be sooooo super awesome as I will fiiiiiiiiiiiiinally  be able to get all those video game references. By then though, nobody will be making the references anymore, and I will be left out of something new...

Bittorrent is a hassle?

It's like... the most convenient way to download things. Unless there aren't any seeders, of course, but that shouldn't be a problem for popular things.

TheMightyAnonym

I have difficulty getting it to work, and above all else can only use it for certain things. For example, I can't use it for Tv shows, because a single episode that takes up more than 200 mb is going to crash this thing. In fact, the only things that I can imagine using it for aren't really all that popular.

ClockworkUniverse

I've never gotten how it's more convenient than direct downloads.

TheMightyAnonym

Eeeeee-yup.

glennmagusharvey

@INUH: Probably because it's easier to max out on download speed if your direct-download server has its upload limites.

DYRE

^^^ Direct downloads are more likely to screw up part of the way through and possibly require you to redownload the whole thing (like... if I leave my computer for 10 minutes and it goes into sleep mode).  Downloading lots of files at once is inconvenient too, since you either have to deal with lots of individual downloads which can be inconvenient especially if you're downloading from somewhere that limits the number of simultaneous downloads, or you have to download a huge zip/rar/7z/whatever file and you lose the ability to choose to only download specific files, or to download them in a specific order/open specific files before you finish downloading everything else.

Also torrents just usually go faster for me, for new/popular/whatever-else-would-cause-something-to-have-lots-of-seeds things anyway.

Myrmidon

I just unlocked the Force Of Nature!

ColorPrinter

Congratulations, you just unlocked a weapon from the "FUCK EVERYTHING UP" category. Use knockback to FUCK EVERYTHING UP.

(not really saying it's overpowered, but it is very useful when used correctly. Very useful.)

Stormtroper

Bump in an attempt to make this the IJBM thread with the most posts.

Vorpy

So I am getting really good with the Pyro now. I no longer use the backburner, although in some instances the 10% more damage would be useful, when trying to kill off heavies. My habit of running at them from where they can see me is still bad, since I never win against said enemies, but hitting them with airblast to mess up their aim while juggling + burning them is nice, and if they are disorientated enough, I kill them with a Mailbox.

I have successfully killed 1 heavy with my Mailbox.

ninjaclown

You guys have anything you wanna trade? I myself have a half-zatoichi and holy mackerel for trade, but I'm advertising this everywhere so if you have an offer you'd better make it quick.

Stormtroper

In which I whine again for not having a premium account.

I have three Black Boxes I can't trade with.

ninjaclown

Oh wow, you would be so popular right now.

This.

DonZabu

So, what's your favorite map?

Mine is Orange CP; the one with the tower and the box design and whatnot. A close second would be the one where it's medieval times and everybody uses melee weapons.

Forzare

I'm partial to Gravelpit and Goldrush myself.
