Never got round to playing the UT version, but as you probably all know by now it's just come out on Steam, remade in the Source engine, for free. It's damn good fun as it's basically Space Hulk meets Left 4 Dead. If you've got Steam then you should get it now. I've got a few of you on my friends list but if anyone wants to get friendly fired by me then add Bobble_Hat.

Gave this a quick go with Rob last night and it a) runs and b) is ace. I believe I'm on your list so fire me a note anytime you wan't someone to fill out a four. I haven't tested my old headset yet though, I suspect it might be broken.

I don't have Alien Swarm because my computer won't run it. If this changes I'll let everyone know.

I know but the computer I'm using at the moment is a cheapo, stop gap, ex school or something computer I bought to test whether it was feasible to plug a PC into my TV. It is so I'll get a new one soonish.

I have Alien Swarm but I don't want to imply in anyway that I would be available for a game so as to avoid people cancelling their daily schedules and sitting online waiting for me to come online to play a game only to be disappointed when I fail to show at their expected time.

It could happen...

I have, that's why you probably won't see me online for a while.

Look Matt, you were aware of the schedule well before hand. If you had to cancel but did not provide the required 24 hours notice and B-75vg "Official Cancellation of Fun Activities - Video Games" form then that's your problem and you'll just have to accept the penalties.

Furthermore, this on going ribbing of ftookl without the proper filing of a Z-24 "Commencement of Light Hearted Banter" form, signed in triplicate by both parties is unacceptable.

Sorry to be a pain about this but it was all covered in the handbook, "So, You Want to be Friends with ftookl" (REF. S286a rev. b 2006). If you have lost your copy a replacement can be ordered for a fee of £5. Not including P&P.

How will I tell. But yeah lets let it stew a few more days. You should probably talk to me before the barbeque though.

Anyway nothing to see here people, how about that Alien Swarm eh?

Also, I've recently found out you can add your own music to play during the slow motion parts. May I recommend the Starship Troopers theme, or Joe Esposito's You're The Best Around, from the Karate Kid soundtrack.

It runs on my PC. Yay! Game sometime? Monday evening? I'm away tommorow, and will be too tired Sunday to do anything more demanding on my brain than watch Top Gear. Which requires little brain. Mainly because I'm cycling from London to Cambridge.

Hooray, now this game has a dedicated server browser meaning we can look for an empty one and avoid all that proxy bollocks that results in 400+ pings. I just played a game with a couple of english chappies and a german chappy who insisted on ordering us all around, and not once did it dip below 20.
