I wish I wasn't busy when games were happening :(

Thanks for the invite Smiler.

I think I finally had one decent tank run! I am still really bad at Charger and Hunter.

Pretty much all of the infected take a lot of getting used to. Nice tank though.

I think Tank might be the easiest to play. All you have to do is run around and punch things, and you don't have to worry about dying in one hit!

Niku · « **Reply #624 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:33:22 AM »

Which also makes it the most frustrating if you don't actually accomplish anything.

MadMAxJr · « **Reply #625 on:** February 26, 2010, 09:41:40 AM »

So is there any point to throwing rocks?

Niku · « **Reply #626 on:** February 26, 2010, 10:10:03 AM »

If you can actually hit with them, then that person will be open to the full fury of your fantastic fists. It's really best when used in wide open areas if you think you can get the shot off and the survivors are all at decent enough health that they're just going to keep kiting you.

Smiler · « **Reply #627 on:** February 26, 2010, 10:15:34 AM »

In most cases the rock is useless. It leaves you sitting around for survivors to pelt you with bullets. I guess I underestimate rocks a lot though because it seems like most people don't know how to dodge them! It's pretty easy: hide behind a tree, or practically anything that isn't usually destructible. A door won't save you, but a park bench will.

Or circle strafe. Whichever floats your boat.

Chuck rocks to force stand-offs or to prevent yourself from being kited.

If you are between the survivors and their path of advancement in a one-way tunnel sort of way, you can just set up shop and chuck rocks down the tunnel at any one who pokes their head out. Call for your friends to go to work. Gorilla in and mop them up when something sticks, or hit them with another rock when they're a lot more stationary.

If you can pull off a Surprise Rock, then by all means. Top of the Stage, Dark Carnival Finale for life, yo.

Obviously, if you identify a guy who can't dodge a rock to save his life, hey, free incap.

Today while playing the chapter of Swamp Fever where you have to lower a bridge between two shacks I got a continuous horde that followed us to the safe room. In Dead Center's 3rd chapter we got a continuous horde that lasted the entire playtime and we died just outside the safe house, where we found a tank waiting for us. In the finale of Dead Center, we got a Jimmy Gibbs zombie which is incredibly rare and has the HP of a tank. All of this on normal.

Good times.

So has everyone pretty much moved onto L4D2 at this point? I only have the original and I ain't payin' full price for the sequel when I know I can get it for at least half off when it inevitably goes on sale.

Wait for a sale (I saw it for $30 once already, so this isn't outside the realm of possibility). In the meantime, I'll play L4D1 with you every now and then if you'd like. My steam name is [GHS]NexAdruin.

7...fucking...points.

I blame niku for crashing his game and making us lose.

Niku · « **Reply #634 on:** March 01, 2010, 07:58:29 PM »

I blame McDohl for not being man enough to be as good as two players in my brief absence.

Cannon · « **Reply #635 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:55:16 PM »

It turns out a Charger can fly, if it believes in itself.

Smiler · « **Reply #636 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:36:15 PM »

I have to high-five Niku for incapping a dude by falling onto him.

McDohl · « **Reply #637 on:** March 05, 2010, 05:30:43 AM »

It's amazing! When I'm not on a team with Saxton Hale, I get to be the tanks!

McDohl · « **Reply #638 on:** March 05, 2010, 08:10:04 AM »

Also, hats off to Doom last night. Epic charge at the start of the tunnel of love. Smashed in to me and bowled the other three over.

I do believe that's just the AI Director realizing you're honked off, McDohl. He wants you to have Fun, in the end. Awww.

I say this without sass, however. Playing Infected in Vs. is basically Trolling with Mutants: The Video Game. So yeah, it's going to be a few more games before I can get schooled like a man. I assure you this is true of every online game I play which I am terrible at (psst! It's pretty much all of them!).

Getting Boomed while on my back, though? Still utterly hilarious. Throw some Spitter acid on me next time, and you'll kill me with laughter as I die in-game. No more Cannon for you, Survivor team! You are cut off!

Who was the Hunter that was foiling my amazing melee skills by, oh, running in a broad circle over and over? You're not helping my frail gamer ego.

I am quite fond of Ellis. I'm sure that living in a North Carolinian mountain town does not factor into this at all.
