Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam

So my PC has been down and I haven't found much time to work on it, so I wanted to get something rolling here that I could play on my macbook.

I was thinking a Gib Fest run through The Parish on advanced, but I'm open to suggestions for other settings.

Let's do Dark Carnival again. This time, I want to avoid death at the end :D

Dark Carnival was really fun and had a great ending.

What difficulty level were you thinking?

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/21/2013 at 11:38pm

DAMN! Not fast enough for this one. The next one, perhaps, now that I have a machine that runs this well enough to play with others.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/22/2013 at 01:30am

I was thinking the same settings as last game. Wondering what those were so I can host it. Unless you want to Tim? That would be ok.

@beansmyname: yeah, catch you next time!

vdogmr25 wrote on 07/22/2013 at 05:58pm

It was a Gib Fest mutation on advanced.

Also, would a versus match be possible in the future? It takes longer, but we can fit up to 8 people in.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/22/2013 at 06:01pm

Is versus some kind of deathmatch?

vdogmr25 wrote on 07/23/2013 at 03:30am

Two teams of four. They alternate each leg of the campaign playing as the survivors and the special infected. You get points for how far you get through the level as the survivors. Team with the most points at the end wins.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/23/2013 at 04:04am

Oh fun. Yeah, the next event could be that for sure. Could be fun.

Travis Admin wrote on 07/23/2013 at 04:54pm

Bean, it's yours if you want it. Some stuff blew up at work (not literally) and I have to go in at 4AM in the morning, so I'll be asleep before this starts.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/23/2013 at 05:34pm

Awww, catch you next time Travis.

Travis Admin wrote on 07/23/2013 at 05:47pm

Damn right you will! :)

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/23/2013 at 08:31pm

Thanks for the heads up, Travis. Are event times localized?

Travis Admin wrote on 07/23/2013 at 08:37pm

Yes they are!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/23/2013 at 08:46pm

Yeah, if your timezone is set (and I am certain we require it is) then it should be localized. After you join you can add it to Google Calendar / iPhone / Android or whatever and that should localize it too :D

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/23/2013 at 10:17pm

All set!

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 07/24/2013 at 12:49am

vdogmr called & the trains are running a little slow this afternoon. He should be home right around 7 and will hop in. Jon you can host it, :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 12:58am

Great, ill try and figure how how to run a game with the mods like last time. We can hold off a bit for vdogmr no problem.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 07/24/2013 at 01:11am

Cool, honestly I'm not sure myself how to set the mutation up. vdogmr does it for me. :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 01:16am

There is a mutation game mode and you select which one you want. Then "games with friends" and advanced and there we are. Not too bad, but I will admit that Left 4 Dead isn't the most intuitive UI Valve shipped.

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/24/2013 at 01:46am

And this is version 2. I'll be in there in about 10 minutes.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 03:20am

Whew, that was fun! Glad I beat that finally.

Oh and vdogmr25, thanks for the tips, they helped :D

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/24/2013 at 03:37am

That was ridiculously fun. Sorry about the voice thing. Turns out it's a long-standing bug in Steam or Pulseaudio. Apparently, there's a workaround and I'm going to give that a shot.

Definitely down to do that again whenever.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 03:43am

Totally. If you guys want to setup the next event feel free!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 03:43am

I haven't tried voice in Linux yet, I wonder how it would do... Hmmm.

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/24/2013 at 03:39pm

Well, voice works in the Steam app proper (so far as I can tell), but once you're in L4D2 the mic shuts off completely. I'm going to jump into Awesomenauts and see if the problem is there, too.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 07/24/2013 at 05:28pm

You have to press "C" to chat when I am playing L4D2, unsure about other games.

I tested my headset in Linux too, it works well. Totally amazed by how well Linux is progressing. Had to select it out of a list of things, but after finding it in Steam it worked like a charm.

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 07/25/2013 at 03:05am

I pressed 'C' a few times last night and the bubble over my character showed I was chatting, but no one heard me. I am still unable to get voice chat to work in L4D2 at all. I'm not the only person having the problem and I've even tried a few things that were suggested on the forums. Still no dice.

It works in the Steam settings but nowhere else seemingly.

If anyone ever has a moment and would be willing to help me test my configuration, please let me know. Want to confirm that it works anywhere but the settings. Voice chat in group or in-game would be preferable.

OK, I moved it to Wed.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/23/2013 at 03:24pm

Im in, thanks!

Tim_Bodnar Post Author wrote on 06/23/2013 at 05:10pm

Have you got steam voip working?

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/23/2013 at 05:26pm

Yes. The trick was "push button to talk." Forget the button, but I just need to press it in LFD2 for it to all work properly :D

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:02am

Ahh that was fun. Really enjoyed the gun we started with. Killing the normal zombies with one hit was pretty rad.

Tim_Bodnar Post Author wrote on 06/27/2013 at 09:53am

That's a fun level and mutation. We just need to survive, :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:33pm

Heal up at the end of that level

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:34pm

jdodson: Hah, yeah totally. I got slammed by a tank outside the helecopter. Next time ill heal up a bit more before i sprint for it.

I'm glad you're using that image again :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/24/2013 at 08:07pm

Yeah, I had too. Looking forward to Cold Stream, it looks like a fun map.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 05/25/2013 at 01:46am

Would if I could. Also, that picture, as well as the "kidney" shot you had up earlier, are hilarious. :D

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/25/2013 at 02:15am

If pushing this out an hour makes it better for you let me know.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:39pm

Welcome vdogmr! Does anyone have a preferred character?

Tungsten wrote on 05/27/2013 at 12:04pm

If no one else signs up I may pop in.

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/27/2013 at 07:41pm

I don't really have a character preference.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:33pm

If everyone is ok with me picking Rochelle ill play her.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:52pm

I don't think I've ever picked a character, I just have it randomize it for me.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/29/2013 at 11:55am

I usually play as Rochelle but it doesn't really matter to me, it's aesthetics anyway. I'll even play as Nick :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/29/2013 at 04:20pm

ROCHELLE FIGHT!

Ok, to be fair then ill just take luck of the order. :D

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:05am

Safe to say vdogmr has had the most L4D experience. :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:06am

That was very fun guys thanks. Ill have to sort out my voice issues.

First time all the way through Cold Stream myself. Have you guys played that one before?

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:12am

I've played through all of L4D2, but only this map and the mall in L4D2. I'm still kinda new to it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:14am

I didn't quite parse that right I think..

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:26am

That was awesome. I've played Cold Stream once before. Thought the door in the canal was on the left.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:28am

Haahaha, that water was fast. Oh well nothing says "learning" like dying.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:51am

Yeah sorry, I've played through all of L4D1. That was the issue

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/31/2013 at 11:58am

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 03:08pm

Whats gib fest?

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/31/2013 at 09:34pm

M60's with bottomless clip and magnum's (magnum's need reloading) :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 09:44pm

Hey that's cool.

That could be really fun.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:27pm
