    I'm in the same boat as Julio - I haven't played any TF2 - just played through portal and about 5 hours of L4D and I've had Orange Box and L4D for some time now.

    Hi there,

    my name is chris but when I went to school I had 11 chris's in my class so we all got called by our last names so call me burt! :)

    My name on steam is Burty117 and I absolutely love tf2 and if you go onto the tbr clan servers I'm in the top fifty rank wise which I'm fairly proud of.

    I also have a fairly large steam libary with plenty of games such as fear 2, cs:source, mass effect etc...

    I would love to play with you guys on Saturday,

    my girlfriend is away with her parents that weekend aswell so perfect date, I live in england and I guess when you say 5pm that like early morning morning for me?

    I'm currently away but will be back home tomorrow to add to your steam page,

    Look forward to shooting you then!

    Cheers,

    burty

    This is a great idea, get some community fraggin on and change that inactiveness of the TS Steam group!

    I'm definitely down to join you guys in some TF2 fun. My Steam name is Relic same as here, a gaming tag I've been using for about a decade now. While I'm on Steam often I don't have a huge game collection mainly want to keep it for Valve games or something I find for 5-10 bucks :) . So TF2/L4D/HL2DM are pretty much my only steam multiplayer games atm. I really need to buy L4D2 sometime :eek: .

    Since the get-together is around 5PM which is 3PM my time (MST) I might be late depending on what's going on for me so just a heads up.

    I guess that the server you'll be playing on will be hosted in the US, right?

    We haven't determined exactly what we're going to do for a dedicated server. Ideally, we'd like a TechSpot member to host the gathering. If that's not possible we will look into renting a server, in which case it will probably be US-based.

    If anyone happens to have a server set up and is willing to host the event, please message me.

    I'd love to play with you.

    The 8th of May I will be celebrating my birthday but I live in Denmark (GMT+1) so I might be able to play I don't really know what time it will be here then 9 PM according to my calculations.

    Team Fortress 2 seems like a good idea. Other games could be
    Call of Duty 4. (Always good)
    Bad Company 2. (My clan has a server we might be able to use)
    Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. (Very cheap)

    I would really like to be in, I'll do my best to be availble on this exact time and I hope that if I had the opportunity to be gifted the game that there will be other gaming get-together's like this :)
    The only online game I can recommend is Quake Live, or any other similar open-source like Open Arena

    I do not have TF2 but I heard a lot about it and it would be great if I can have it, in fact I'm really interested to because a couple of friends have been nagging me to get it, but payment options from Egypt is so 1997'ish :D

    I'm in! I play TF2 quite a bit so I'm looking forward to this. With all the Left 4 Dead 2 sales lately, I think it'd be a great idea to play that!

    I just joined the TechSpot group. Name is CyruS JumpjeT.

    Hi,

    My name is Sunny, and my steam tag is Xplicit.
    My steam account name is achahal08 so you guys can add me.
    I am active in many games on steam.
    I have the following:
    -Team Fortress 2 (since release) (i consider myself mid-high)
    -Modern warfare 2 (fun :) )
    -Starcraft 2 BETA

    Those are the games i am most active in, and most fun for me.

    I am a interested in this gaming get together as i do play pugs and scrims on tf2. I have created a clan named Comrades and was a strong team for a year. Then everyone had to go do real life things and since then i been playing other games. I still have my skills as i do play now and then. :D

    i have vent and mumble.
    Hope to c you may 8 around 5pm :D

  14. Xile Newcomer, in training

    Yes!

    Hey, would love to join if I am about, think it is 10pm GMT so quite possibly :D

    steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960777130 [non-link as 1st post lol]

    Have TF2 [and do like a game!] and a few more if this is becoming regular :) and more than happy for a loose excuse to buy more games!

    Primary gaming machine is down :( - Gonna see if I can handle playing on a secondary gaming machine for this event.
  16. Matthew TechSpot Staff Posts: 5,893   +53

    Bummer LNCPapa :(. Any idea what the issue is?

    By the way guys, it looks like we only have one eligible person for the free copy of TF2 (correct me if I'm wrong). In other words, if you don't own the game but want to join us on Saturday, your odds are pretty good at getting a free copy if you make yourself known ;).
  17. LNCPapa TS Special Forces Posts: 3,946   +120

    I think the video card died - haven't had much time to troubleshoot, but I'm 75% certain that's the prob.
  18. Matthew TechSpot Staff Posts: 5,893   +53

    Perfect excuse to upgrade eh?
  19. Serag TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 173

    You got that right, :D
