Great Man!!!! I thought you might be banging on them in there.... I've kind of got hooked on it myself.....
Yesterday I forgot I was doing laundry while I was playing on line with my son.... Wife wasn't too happy with me when she found wet clothes in the washer..... (Just my luck she had to do a load last night)......

OK, so I replied to PF's PM, and now I got three people wanting to play... I'll have to scrounge up some cash and get the game...

Too bad Jef. It was on sale on at steam all last weekend for half price. I'm sorry that I was busy and didn't make a post about it..... It's back up to $50 now...[dang]

Been looking at getting Left 4 Dead recently. If you guys say it's a good 'un, then reckon I'll pick up a copy.
Playing a lot of Rainbow 6 Vegas: 2 recently. Getting quite into that.

We are mainly still doing Forged Alliance. We also all picked up World in Conflict, and it seems cool, but we just haven't really gotten into it yet.

Disappointed with COD5, seemed rushed and was quite short in terms of how long it took to complete.
The Nazi Zombies was a nice touch though.

@ Vokofpolisiek That's right. L4D has a single player mode, but it's the same as the on line game. I haven't had so much fun with a on line game since I Played Tribes and Tribes 2. That was a team playing game as well, but it took 10 man teams to compete in that game. 5 on offense and 5 on defense. It was quite the feat to get a 10 man team to play in the 56k days.
L4D is a 4 player max, which I kinda of like. It's a lot easier to practice and play with 4 players for sure. Now my sons are adults and they both play with me and my 7 year old grandson can kick ass in the game. Of course the grandson has had a computer built by me for gaming since he was 2. He plays all the latest games STALKER, FC2, and now L4D. Really that's the future of gaming, my grandson's generation coming up. He shows me moves I haven't thought of, because his mind isn't cluttered with pre conceived notions yet. He plays from a place that only he can get to because of that. It sure is funny to say to him on the mike during the game, nice shoot man!!!
@ RobD I think you'd like the game Man. It's a no holds barred game. You got between 13,000 to 15,000 infected attacking you iin every mission. It's a shooting frenzy! It's also got the coolest move, knocking back a swarm on you then shooting them before they can charge again. You will be swarmed in every level at some point, so that move is the one you need to get down. It took me awhile to get that move down. Other than that, it's a regular shooter taken to the extreme, at least that's the way I feel about it.
@ anyone If anyone knows how to get DSL to play on Steam in L4D, please let me know. I've got a friend of mine that bought the game and can't play it on DSL. I know it can be accomplished, but I've researched it and can't come up with the fix yet. The funny thing about it is, he just bought Fear 2 and it's a Steam game as well. Fear plays fine, L4D drops out every time he tries to get into a game. I'm sure it's in the network settings somewhere, but I never have to mess around in there on cable. HELP!!!!

One last thing that should be first - make sure the firewall isn't intervening. From what you've said I'd recon something terminates the program when connecting to steam. So that should be the first port of call.

Two grand eh? I bet that's the smallest amount that's been on your AmEx in years.

The Smoker is an average sized boss infected covered in growths and boils and has a fifty foot long tongue as its primary weapon. He also releases clouds of smoke.
Yeah, sounds Wingy-ish...

The problem I wrote about above was solved by disabling the multi core support. We thought it was the DSL, but it wasn't. It seems to be a dual core issue. My quad core hasn't had a problem, but when I had my dual core running I had trouble playing old games with it.
Hey, I just built a new machine to get around it and gave the dual core to my son...... [struts away with a Wingy swagger]

I disembowelled and cannibilised an Inspiron 6000 to stick into a HTPC case. It actually works bloody well (overclocked and watercooled, naturally - any idea how hard it is to work up the energy to type 'Pentium M pin mod' into Google?) for said purpose.
Okay, okay, it was an excuse to waste some steel sheeting and a few Dremel blades.
Wingding you're a bastard. Your Dell notebook is better than mine. I hope it melts when you cum all over it while watching downloaded feral monkey corpse porn.

I use the DIR-625 D-Link wireless N router. It was a pain in the ass to set up my notebook to transeive using the N protocol. It always defaulted to G protocol.
Total **** I think.
