It’s the second bi-weekly Lazygamer community gaming night and once again the wonderful team over at Lazygamer.net has mucked it up royally. Zoe apparently has friends or some pathetic excuse, Geoff thinks his kids school thing is more important and I have a gaming event that I have to show face at.
Darryn is trying to get the game but knowing his technical competence he may end up hacking into the NSA instead.
So yeah sorry guys but don’t worry we have used our super skills to ensure this game still happens and I am really hoping to join in a little later.
Our deputised Community Manager for the evening is Chief Admiral Erwin the 3rd or whatever he is calling himself this morning.
Now in an attempt to ensure everyone gets into the game we have changed the schedule slightly. The game itself is planning to kick off at 8pm sharp but we need you to join our Lazygamer group chat on steam at 7:30 so we can get numbers and tell you what server to setup in.
You have to be part of the Lazygamer group so do that now and then add Erwin as your friend.
Let’s see how this works out and if you have any comments on how we can do this better please let us know. We’re all learning here and don’t want anyone to feel left out.
That’s it now place nice and remember.. 19:30 get in the chat and be friendly.. 20:00 stop being friendly and unleash hell. Oh and invite your friends, the more the merrier.

It’s a 7.5 or 9gb download… hope you’ve got an epically fast line you can abuse for that!
Gareth L (That Guy)
January 24, 2014 at 11:24
Gah! Next time then. Unless I can call home, get my dog to answer, and then explain to doggie how to start the download.
I’m not sure about the likelihood of that working though.

Cat will just lie there looking at the phone like it’s the bane of the cat’s existence… and then move to a sunny spot that it can tease the dogs from.

Oh my word, dude, that’s a frikken’ cool idea. I unfortunately can’t do anything now, but will sort that out this weekend for future situations. 🙂

lol Glad I could help 😉

January 24, 2014 at 16:31
That works well… and if you know enough about dynamic dns, routing, firewall rules, etc, then rdp also works pretty well.
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 11:18
I have it downloaded, installed and my headset is setup… so I’ll be all good for joining!
Gonna try get a friend to join in… but he’s stuck playing Torchlight or something, so I dunno if he will 😛

I installed it overnight, just hoping it doesn’t decide it needs an epic update when I start Steam later tonight.

January 24, 2014 at 11:22
You should be fine 😛
I’m ducking home just now to check mine 😛

VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 15:16
140… something… meg for mine… if I read it correctly in my rush
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 15:16
I had a 140-odd meg update on TF2… so you should be ok.
Also see response to the Admiral *salute* below.

@lazygamers:disqus I think you need to change the Title of this to “Tonight the community dines on Team Fortess 2 corpses cos we cocked up” or something like that.

[insert amount of cuss words that would make a pirate run to his mother crying]… I honestly need to stop saying that I need to get a new PC and just get a new PC…
On another note, do you guys have a teamspeak server or something like that? I might have a friend that would be willing to help out to arrange something like that…
Gareth L (That Guy)
January 24, 2014 at 11:36
Dude, just try to invest on a new piece of hardware when ever you can. It’ll build itself up over time.
Unavengedavo
January 24, 2014 at 11:48
I am just afraid if I invest in something now, then over a couple of months I would regret it. That is why I am trying to save up and buy in bulk. But the saving part is proving to be difficult

As long as the motherboard can support decent RAM and good graphics card, the rest is just gravy. 😉

Someone offered us a mumble server… but I don’t know how to use it 🙂

well make sure you get into the chat on time to get everyone connected.. my event starts at 6pm so I really hope to be home in time to jam
Unavengedavo
January 24, 2014 at 12:16
I will have a chat with him and find out if he can arrange something for us. I don’t have a PC though, but I might be borrowing his desktop PC to join in. It all depends on whether he can get the game client up and running on his PC an Laptop
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 11:52
Download mumble client… connect to server… done. 😛

Unfortunately with my line the download would only finish at about 01:00 AM tomorrow and that’s if I started it as soon as the article was posted yesterday.

January 24, 2014 at 11:54
Yeah most likely will be joining, just need to get you address from you later today or early tomorrow. The one thing going for me is my pc may be old and sad, but atleast I have a big ass monitor!
Unavengedavo

TiMsTeR1033
January 24, 2014 at 11:59
You I worry about! I drove past you like a week ago and you looked at me very confused!
Unavengedavo
January 24, 2014 at 12:01
Everybody says that… But to be honest, I never actually notice them. I am really focused when I’m driving, but that doesn’t mean I am focused on my driving
TiMsTeR1033
January 24, 2014 at 12:02
unless I saw someone that resembles you! White car was filled with people!
Unavengedavo
January 24, 2014 at 12:05
What type of car? I drive a grey Chevy Spark, I was in the car with a buddy of mine about a week ago and he drives a white VW fox.
TiMsTeR1033
January 24, 2014 at 12:06
I think could of been grey… Think was a chevy spark.. Was near that total garage on ouklip.
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 12:02
Yes you are… it’s your other… ummm… qualities… that have us worrying about you.

January 24, 2014 at 12:03
Be like howzit Werner ummm why do you have a knife in your hand?!?
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 12:13
lol… knives don’t bother me… as long as it’s an actual knife and not a sharpener.
TiMsTeR1033
January 24, 2014 at 12:15
What would a sharpener do… except sharpen your knives.
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 12:36
Not that kind of sharpener… as in a pencil sharpener… sheesh *shakes head*
VampyricSquirrel Monk
January 24, 2014 at 12:00
Hahaha, I’m using a 32inch TV as a monitor at the moment! Will bbm you my address shortly.

Suggestion guys – have gaming sessions either late night Friday or rather on Sunday afternoons.
That or weekday evenings 😀
I will try and join, but 8 might be early for me.
Friday is usually scheduled for other things for most people 🙁
