[quote="Dave"]Well yeah, of course it's just the powder, but the SMALL version of those bags that you buy at Home Depot weigh eighty pounds. I have no problem believing that a whole palette full of them would stop a bullet.

JEEBUS STOP KILLING MY BOOMER.

Also it's hard playing infected when a person in the same room as you is playing survivor. Hence I started using codewords for the type of zombie I spawned as. Then, periodically, I would use the same codeword for a DIFFERENT ZOMBIE TYPE.

BRILLIANT!

I'm in the same room with Mankoon when we play, but we both have our headsets on and they lock out sound pretty good so we can't hear each other outside the game. Occasionally I say something false purposefully loud, but it hasn't worked so far.

Its true I use to have to moves those bags of cement at work and if used right (put down a slide when they aren't paying attention) they can take out two fully grown men. the bullet would so be stopped

cement is only second to BBQs in the co-worker injury Olympics

See? Fuzzy agrees with me and HE DOESN'T QUIT THE TEAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MATCH TO GO SMOKE CRACK.

So there.

What the fuck is this "hearing" I don't hear shit when I'm playing the game.

[quote="Dave"]What the fuck is this "hearing" I don't hear shit when I'm playing the game.That is a distinct failure on your part. Hearing the infected is only slightly worse than seeing them in the "where the fuck are they?" department.

[quote="NthDegree256"]This also means that you should, ideally, spawn as late as possible when you're an Infected so you don't give away your position, and avoid crouching as a Hunter until it's time to pounce (it makes them growl loudly.)
This is definitely true, especially of the boomer. When I hear the burping start, I immediately look around for the fat bastard. When I'm playing as the boomer, I always try to spawn as ridiculously close to the survivors as possible. With a little practice, you can spawn basically right next to people in the first level of Blood Harvest, if you crouch and get the proper angle behind trees (even trees that truthfully are far too small to fully obscure the boomer's body).

Also, as for audio cues, pay close attention to the hunter's loud scream. If you hear him scream, that means he is in a position where he can see you (as in, not behind a wall or something). Take this as an opportunity to quickly scan around for him.

As for shooting through walls, I don't have a problem with it *if* they fix the clipping issue. Yesterday, Joel shot me through a wall while I was a boomer, and did so on the first shot. Now Joel will have to confirm this, but I've got to assume I was clipping through the wall there. I've killed other infected when this was occuring so I think that's what happened there. I'm willing to believe that these guns could shoot through an average (non-reinforced) wall. I'm not willing, however, to believe that my zombie should be able to walk so close to a wall that part of his stomach is somehow sticking through the other side.

Shit, my gun might as well have heat seeking bullets then. Are zombies still warm after they're . . . undead?

ILL GET YOU BEAVER

What happened with that vaper snake guy anyway?

That was an odd game. Both teams in the high thousands all the way through.

First off, I never said they're getting a tank. I couldn't hear shit through your broke-ass speakers, as if I would listen anyway. I said shit like 'they have three pipe bombs left'. Which is something you can divine by PRESSING TAB.

GG though. Try again next time plz.

According to Sony, Dave and I had a hand in creating the term fuzzle dumping. I can't remember what it means but google confirms it doesn't exist anywhere else. Care to remind me what I was talking about.

This goes here because Sony used the term in game. As in, "I wish I could fuzzle dump the survivors."

@kyron: You were yelling out false information? Why do you have to be so clever!? I'm not going to make any connections to why my team loses...
@classic: last minute boomer is awesome.

The thing that makes the game not fun to play? Ehm, how about crashing atleast twice a day.

O shit. NOW I remember.

Eh, that was a long time ago. Cut em' slack.

good games tonight guys (and gal if I remember right). if a little heavy on med kits for teams I was not on

Honestly, we had a few chances every level to kill them but never managed to. The way I would call it would be that the teams were a bit uneven.

Ya we missed some great chances but hey its a game it was fun and I learned lot about projectile vomit (hint it doesn't go as far as you think it should)

Everyone's very impressed by your e-peen.

[quote="classic"]You have rookie eyes

[quote="Digitalguardian"][quote="classic"]You have rookie eyesRookie ears holds more weight in this game, since you can hear them coming waaay before you can see them.

[quote="Dave"]Everyone's very impressed by your e-peen.My e-peen is very important to me. But I did think that putting that many hours into the game was something like a self-deprecating statement. But I guess if you've played a game like WOW, your e-peen is the ruler the rest of us use to measure ourselves.

Hey guys, would any of you be interested in a L4D versus match this weekend (Friday night - Sunday Night).
I've finally made it back to civilization and cannot wait to try out this game.

This conversation is boring.

I saw the game go up last night but was too late to join in. I did spend about 1/2 hour checking the game info. Hope springs eternal.

It's even more annoying if you are playing but the game crashes and someone takes your place.

Human League - Don't You Want Me. If I'm around, it could be a duet but you have to be the girl.
