Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I still love you antithesis.
Also, splitting up on that one map with all the parasites is the best idea and we should do it again and again and again.
EDIT: NEO|Phyte is the REAL butt here.
Hey, speedrunning Residential by splitting up would work if you people weren't so terrible (and maybe if we weren't on Brutal). The parasites are all in predictable locations, and we have flamethrowers. Just a matter of puffing the vents as you run past them. It's the actual bugs that are the real concern.
:edit:
Also, I haven't tried out the first-person view override thing, we should do that.
More capsuleers should look as cool as I do.

It's predictable, but we all die horribly every time (including you).
First person view thing sounds cool, though likely it'll make it harder since the game is designed to be played top down.
Also, some awesome console commands.
Whoa, there's chatter in Alien Swarm, but it's disabled? At least I don't remember hearing any real chatter while playing AS, but why the hell would it be disabled by default?
Looks like a client side command, so it's probably not synced across the internet, which would be awkward.
So unforgiving.
Soooo good.

This means agreement, people.

I think they're all the same, I just recall that GOG was cheaper outside of sales. Whatever can load the most recent version.
(I call tech!)
Yes, and those are compatible with the retail versions.
And yeah, AS in UT2K4 is pulsating hive of death.
For a second there, I read that "AS" as "Assault" and I'm like "Hell fuck yeah, I could play some fucking UT2K4 Assault now." That shit was so bomb.
:edit: dibs on Sarge.

It is kind of sad that I'm probably more interested in playing Assault in UT2K4 again than, well, whatever in UT3.
For that matter, I'd even be happy playing Torlan in UT2K4 again. I just really disliked the Gears of Unreal art style they went with in the last game.
Hmmm, I may have to pick up UT2K4 from GOG.com sometime. I've got the disc versions, but really, installing them and patching them up is going to be a pain.
Anywho, it's installed, and I ran through the tutorial for good measure. Who else is in a ready-to-play state?
:edit: install process: Install your ut2k4, make sure it's all updated and shit. Then go here and download AS 1.3 and the 1.3 to 1.34 patch. From there, follow the readme.

the ut2k4 alien swarm is a different beast from the source one.

Right-o, I've got it all shortcut and everything. Anyone?
The closest comparison my mind is coming up with is that it is the TFC to AS:S's TF2, but there's a lot less differences between AS and AS:S than TFC and TF2.
Actual differences (besides the obvious engine/graphical differences) that I can recall off the top of my head:

Also the original has several more campaigns and can be played in single-player throughout.
Okay that does sound pretty cool. Guess I might go get that other game.
