You must have a PC with Half Life 2 DM installed. Please read and comment regarding the possibility of adding a new mod to the game choices. The post in this topic is found
here. The polling will end on, or before Sunday, November 13th. Please vote and post before then to let your opinion be heard.
Starting 2-15-10:Looks like we're moving the day, but not the time at this point.
Next week (2-15-10) we'll be starting PC-Gaming on Monday at the same times we currently have (6PM PST, 8PM CST, 9PM EST, 2AM UTC/England)
Time looks like it probably won't get changed. It's just too much of an issue with North America, moving back a few hours interfered with nearly everyone's dinner schedules, and later usually isn't an option seeing as it won't help anyone.Until further notice, we're playing Counter-Strike: Source, with the GunGame mod. Same server information, just look up the IP under your Favorites tab, and add the appropriate servers.Come play Half Life 2: Death Match (HL2:DM) with all of your friends from Rsbandb! Have a problem with someone? Try shooting them in the head! If you've wanted to test out your PC gaming skills, you'll be right at home NOTE - For the week of Aug 26th, this event will be replaced by CS:S - Gun Game. Please check the other topic for details.***As a special thing this week, the 'winner' will get a Guest Pass to Madballs in.. Babo Invasion. I got the game a few weeks back, and got a guest pass... So I've gotta get rid of it before the 19th!***Also, congrats to our first PC Gaming 'Winner',
Directxfire! You will recieve a guest pass to
Madballs in.. Babo Invasion. Please be sure to add Pfkninenines on Steam to receive the guest pass. If you do not want the guest pass, you may pick who you'd like me to send it to.
Also, one last
Humble Indie Bundle will be given away.
Since you can't buy guest passes to any game, I can't say we'll always have (or even often have) a prize. But, I have recently come into a few codes for a 6 pack of games. They're Windows, Mac, and Linux, so literally anyone use them. I've got 4 unique codes, so we'll have to determine who gets them. They're not through Steam, though, and that's the only downside. At any rate, I've currently got around 5 codes to give away. More news as to when/how they'll be distributed to come.
NOTE - Day has been changed to Monday to hopefully get more people to show up. Two were in attendance for the first day, and unfortunately weekends aren't exactly the best for me either.. Soo we're back to Mondays! Please note, however, we're at the new time of one hour later than in previous times.
The mod chosen is GoldenEye Source (GE:S). Please go to
http://www.goldeneyesource.net/ for more information, and for the client download. Use the guide found
here for the installation process. From my experience, just run the client .exe file, and it should install. Restart Steam (I'd begin the process with Steam off, then start the program after the installation), and try to launch GE:S. You'll (probably) be unsuccessful, and it will say you need to download the SDK. It should begin to download automatically. Once finished, you should have a working copy of GE:S.
SORRY!! The CSS server is misbehaving, so we'll be doing TF2 this week. We'll have a week of no-voting this coming week, and do CSS for January 2nd 2012.
We'll be doing it one more time as last week I was sick and heard the event wasn't all too great. Let's change that. Voting resumes Wednesday for next week.
Remember -- Please vote for your available Day + Time combos in
this thread.
We have added CSS back to the poll, so if it is chosen we will do our best to get it running for the event if chosen.
Please vote for upcoming PC Gaming Event changes (choose your top two). Please leave a comment if you have any specific reasons regarding your vote.
**NOTE** The results are for my use, not necessarily what will guide the exact path of the changes. The goal is to allow it to fit my schedule (leading the event, after all), and hopefully allow the attendance of many community members. But, just because midnight on Tuesday would be a perfectly fine time for me, I won't change the event to that schedule.
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (HL2DM) can be downloaded from Steam with a valid account for
free supposing the user is on a computer with an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card. If you are unsure of your graphics card manufacturer, you can use the free utility
GPU-Z to determine if you qualify for the offer.

Pre-download the maps and follow instructions further in the thread / other posts below if you choose.
Please vote in the poll, and if possible restate your votes in this thread as well.
Please pick your top two days + times
Thanks,
PfkUnofficial till January at some point. Read the linked post for more info. For the week of 12/4/10, consider going at the normal time+place and play HL2:DM with those who voted.
Please vote in the poll, and if possible restate your votes in this thread as well.
Please pick your top two days + times
Thanks,
PfkEDIT - 1-3-11 - Please post any games you'd like to see on the voting rotation
here after reading the requirements. I'll be putting a poll up next week with a few options.
ALSO - Please comment with any new games that fit the following few criteria:
1) Low Price (HL2:DM is very popular likely due to the price of FREE)
2) Must have a server runnable on our Linux based server
3) Must be playable by 15+ users at once, so something like L4D would be out.
4) ?
5) Profit.
**Note** The new day/time is one day later. See the new information posted below.
Also, CS:GO will be offered once we get the kinks worked out. Almost there!
** NOTE ** If you can't get into a game, (F2P means the server is almost constantly full) please PM me on Steam and I'll boot someone to let you get in.
[color=#40FF00]NOTE-- We moved back to the old time. So one hour later. Still on Tuesdays, though.NOTE - This week we will have PC Gaming Event on Monday 1/28/13 at the same time.Vote for day/time changes -
Please choose the top two days as well as the top two times you'd be able to attend an event. We've been having very poor turnouts in terms of voting as well as event-attendance, and with the 5th year anniversary coming up, it'd be nice to have a bit of a revival.
Also, if the games are no longer of interest, please let me/us know. I've tried a few other games recently, and will try to fit in a few more in the coming weeks. Just Cause 2: Multiplayer seems a bit too chaotic and disorganized, but I'm open to other ideas. We're not so much limited to the server any longer, so as long as the game can support 6+ players, I'll give it a shot.
Also, if you could comment as to days/times, that'd be pretty cool too. Otherwise, we'll just rely on the vote to show the answer.
Which game would you come to play this week?
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
