Pilgrim72

Y'all seemed to have had much more fun in the second round then... After I'd left? Coincidence? Hmmm... I like L4D, but it seems that it's very easily to get brutalised now, compared to L4D2... I still wish I could bring my Abakan AN94 to the versus game though...

LoL... I hope for the love of all thats Smeg that I am in the Fast Cars bracket, and not the Hot Women bracket!

I started out as another of Armchair's waifs and strays... He collects us like a strange, rather odd man with a side parting might collect plaques form old steam trains, lovingly polished and hung up on the wall...

Phew! I am the big 3-0 in November, and was starting to think I would have enforced retirmenet brought upon me!

I LOVE THE ABAKAN ASSAULT RIFLE...

You're such a closed book, Patters... You really should show some emotion once in a while...

I just finished a two and a half hour hour game, and the friends list status thing is rubbish - cause i couldnt tell if anyone was also ingame that I could hook up with... Meh... Oh, and also - Am I the only one who thinks that anyone who calls someone a 'Noob' ingame is invariably always a tosser? I mean, who the hell says 'Noob' anymore? The the vocabulary equivalent of a shell suit with parachute pants...

Is anyone around for some bad company squad death math tonight?

The squad we were in was me, Andy, and Lucien (with some random i think) and we stayed together pretty much all the time and it was great fun - i had some of my flaws pointed out to me once or twice (or three, or four, or five, or six times... etc etc etc... ;o) ), but it was much more cohesive than normal rush. I think that a massing of players in Skype first and then all picking an empty server would be fantastic. This Sunday is BC2 isnt it? I propose we all meet up around 10 minutes early for the usual banter involving willies or dropping trousers, before embarking on an evening of smoking barrels and near ragequitting at Andy's continued use of the 40mm grenades! Hey, Lucien - get Skype ready for 10 to 8!

GOOD LUCK with the exam, Andy! How do you think it went?

I know that today was strictly speaking, the day that Left4Dead2 was scheduled for Thumbs playing, but me and a couple of others (a couple of others and I? Oh, what the hell...) played BC2 on Squad Deathmatch instead, and it was actually really good fun! Normally I only play Rush, and hadn't had a go of this mode before - I dont think I was alone either. Anyway, point of this post is to ask whether we should make the Sunday turn for BC2 into a proper Squad Deathmatch thing? If we could get enough Thumbs together to fill up a whole four squad server then that would be amazing, but if not, a couple of Thumbs squads should make for an entertaining game (except for the rubbish Snow level -rubbish because I was even more crap at it, of course)! Well, that's what I reckon anyway...

In that case I shall get my daily fix of BC2 now!

I find that over-analysis just turns you into a character from Dawsons Creek, or some other American 'teen-opera'...

I.E. Treasure Island Dizzy is mature... COD6 is not mature...

To me, a mature game is one that has been around for a while, and is no longer new....

Yes! So you should, my dear fellow! Feel the shame of a thousand generations and atone for your sins!

Armchair is on the developer of BC2's payroll... I swear he's just there to advertise it for them! As mentioned on the Left4Dead thread, I'll add you tonight on Steam (have you bought the game on Steam, but either way, whats your BC2 ID?) and we can have a game! Looking forward to a bit of most-excellent gameplaying! (Air guitar riffs)

I'm proud to say I havent played an exclusively public game of left4dead in months and months... I'll add you tonight, mate!

Hey Andy, look at it this way... I was in college from 1996 to the end of 2001, and only came away with three AS levels! Shameful, and I cant even remember most of those years... I'd struggle and just about make it through the year, and then completely implode about a month before exams... I envy you for managing to get this far with what you do - and dont worry, I'm keeping your details for cheap, 'knock-off' surgery when I get older...

Am I added to the list Skratche? I cant remember... I am Pilgrim72 on Steam, here, and on BC2. I'm usually on most nights for varying amounts of time - if anyone is getting something together and I appear to be in another game or idle on Steam, message me and chances are I'll drop out and join in your game! So, is anyone around tonight? What are everyone's favourite servers? I have been frequenting one by the WonkaWarriors recently. It seems to be quite decently inhabited... Anyway, back to looking like Im doing work, at work!

I think playing 'Left4Dead Lite' was good, but it sharply showed the achievements and flaws of both games... (as well as my own meagre playing skills!) I am usually always free to join in a Left4Dead lobby to help make up the numbers, even if I am ingame somewhere else... I am Pilgrim72 on Steam (of course), just message me if and when I'm about...

It was... interesting playin gLeft4Dead1 tonight lads... I think that it helped bring into focus the triumphs and flaws of both the original and the sequel... (And not just because I was especially rubbish tonight!) Anyway, back to BadCompany2 for next week? Is anyone going to be around on that tomorrow evening (Monday)?

About three seconds once I'd read your post and realised what I'd done!

Post what, old fellow?

Taxi for Wrestle!
