    Had a pretty shit game against Cango and others yesterday. It was all PA, but I knew things would end badly when the first 4 people into the lobby were already infected and refused to go random. We took our string of losses relatively well, by which I mean we didn't bitch and stuck around like good sports. Until Cango's team decided they were done pub stomping (PA-stomping?) us and killed each other in the saferoom.

    Great game with job, minty, iowa, and... others.

    Only really decided on the finale where we managed to rape them. We won 1, 3 and 4 on points (both teams completed), but we messed up royally on 2 and got massacred not 15% in, so it was a close thing.

    One day I will be able to remember things like this for more than two minutes.

    So many good games today. There was the Jakorian, Mandalore and Mooman team of No Mercy. Jak did the standard molotov at the entrance of the red room of NM3 and I get smokered as I'm last to drop but the fire killed the smoker and I lived! Such a good moment. We eventually went on to win by a not exactly huge margin. It was a great vs.

    Then there was the first Blood Harvest which kinda went to hell as the other team decided to lol, RACE 4 DEAD because we wiped them with the BH1 tank and all of us survived (we were the first set of survivors).

    Then there was the truly fan-fucking-tastic second Blood Harvest with Flippy, TV's Frank and Job. We mauled them on the BH finale thanks to my first 25 pounce in ages whilst Frank did the exact same whilst Flippy kept on booming them at the ladder of the red train cart. Then I smoked 1up as they did the drop down to the fields. First time I've ever managed to get that one.

    edit:

    Yeah, I killed my team on BH2. Sorry about that, folks!

    I smoked you at the sewer good, fire be damned.

    I had an interesting game after when it spawned me as the tank on the NM finale...spawned me off the roof so I fell2dead straight away. But it's ok because on NM4 the other team were hiding in the vent so I parked the tank in the safe room, where it killed them all and we won.

    Also you guys only won that first game on the finale, I blame mandy's REDICULOUS molotov. That and when your tank punched someone and a hunter caught him in midair and they both went flying, we were too busy standing in awe and got more injuries that we would have.

    Unless there was a game that I didn't play in that was remarkably similar to the one I'm thinking of, that mozzle-tov was tossed by me with the purpose to kill the boomer on top of the ladder. EDIT: Rereading this leads me to believe that it was mandy that caught you on fire as tank?

    I was also the guy that got caught midair by the hunter. The hunter most likely kept me from hitting the pavement below, or at the very least, saved me much fall damage and kept me in easy view of the other survivors.

    So I was campaigning Dead Air least night and was shown an awesome hold-place by my team. I'm sure plenty of you are aware of this, but I wasn't, and I'm probably not the only one. Anyway, behind the rescue plane (other side of the rescue plane from the gas truck, there is a gravel hill with a 2D boundary (the edge of the level). No zombies come over this wall, so all you have to do is put all four survivors in a short line, back to the wall, and shoot. Zombies come from both sides and from the front (around the the plane) but you have the high ground, they have to run right at you. Special infected have to come around the plane at you; they never get anywhere near you. By using this tactic and being good at Molotov n' run tank tactics, my teammates and I got through the Dead Air finale on Advanced (I know, no expert, whatever) barely taking a scratch.

    yeah thanks for that. my plan worked perfectly and then you decided to buy us time by scavenging flippy's health pack. That warehouse seems to either be really easy or a complete death trap.

    also, never thought i'd say that I wouldn't mind playing with goose on my team again but there ya go. he wasn't completely unbearable and i am shocked.

    I threw it really crappy. Like it completely missed where I intended, and I thought it was a waste.

    And fuck yeah that was an awesome pounce by Mooman. He's like "gonna pounce this guy" and I'm already mid-swing. He lands on him a split second after I nail him, and they fall to a fairly safe place while he om nom noms.

    EDIT, to Icemopper: Yeah. Duld and Antipop weren't having fun, and I didn't really feel like grabbing a fourth for the second half of the finale. Jumping down the elevator shaft is the solution to this.

    Well that's a bit shit.
    After you dropped off we lost the guy who wasn't Redfield from your team as well so we did DA co-op instead.
    Then we lost Kris and Red halfway through DA3 (which me and Radne finished by the way, guys) and this is my summary of events before I head to bed...at 7:40...

    Help needed! Every now and then while playing L4D (this actually happens in TF2 aswell) my screen suddenly goes like this. And I have no idea how to fix this. It goes away when I go to my desktop and go back to the game again but that still bothers quite much. Especially when I'm running from a tank. :(

    So, can anyone help?

    Does it stay like that for a while? How long do you stay on just the desktop? And do you have any way of knowing how hot your system becomes?

    Often, artifacting like that can come from overheating, but if it goes away when you bring the game back up and stays away, I'm not sure it would be overheating...

    Yes and when I go to the desktop I immidaetly go back to the game and it's gone.

    I did that today. Was that me? I felt kind of bad about it.

    Also played against some pubs and Tom Cruise Control, in an early round when the all the survivors were down but one made it the safe room to only listen to their laments, I huntered through the door and killed him. I felt kinda bad about it too. The French Pubber who was on my team was pretty cool though. Smok-eire! Boom-eire!

    It's pretty silly you can't start up a vs game on your own, playing with/against bots only. I'm not saying it would be fun to do so but it would be handy to practice the movesets of the different infected roles.

    The bots are far too omniscient and trying to pounce all four would see you being absolutely torn apart mid-air or possibly before you could even take off. Sucks when the other team has a bot :-(

    You can do both of these things, more info here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=765781
