@grimskin Green is the default non team color for some of the human armors

D'awww@Mini-Medic sitting on the bar. :P

You can list and select servers pretty nice in external game server browsers. I prefer QTracker which nicely displays all L4D servers with lots of details. Double-Click and play.

ahh... i remember the days, unfortunatly all of my favourites were put down, so don't see the reason to play

and right next to them is the Mecha dad from the causal arc.

So much photo notes! i can't breath!

Does I smell a reference to heavy/baby team arc?

Pretty much, Microsoft wants to make more money off of gaming. What's the easiest way to do that? Make every gamer own a 360 and make them pay to play online. No PC gamer is gonna pay 50 bucks to play online when he can simply use the same internet connection that he uses for everything else to play

Nobby, I wholeheartedly agree.
I would also like to point out that a server choice option in L4Ds party system would have been ideal.
Or at least an option to just friggin join a server.
Thank god for that console command.

Matchmaking can kiss my arse. Microsoft have gone too far in their efforts to "consolize" the PC gaming market with their Windows Live technology. Keep that crap on the Xbox, we dont want it here >:(

I was chatting to my local netcafe owner about this and how it is mainly because they're trying to stop the pc community around CoD. We then turned to the full netcafe full of people playing nothing but one giant cod4 LAN. IW are idiots for cutting down on their biggest market.

wait didn't the wife had some small green tint to her dress in the coming to age arc and blue when she first appeared?

Ah, I love the Cheers theme. One of my top favorite songs.

Also, matchmaking sucks. Still, I guess it makes things easier to people new to computers.

Too true, such a dumb*** manuever not letting dedicated servers into play. Prepare for the onslaught of games being ended by their hosts.

On another note, I love the picture. Its literally worth a thousand words.

Oh god, you put a label on him. Now this is a political cartoon.

MW2: Now with the same connection setup on PC that MW1 had on consoles! Watch as the game plays fine until someone calls in an airstrike and half the players lag out because the host who has the best connection (according to matchmaking) is on the other side of the freaking planet!

Cue barfight!

CUTE: the heavy and medic are always together! aWwWw <3

Cheers to you sir

Cheers to Couch and Voogru, they both have good servers.

Anybody notice that tomorrow is Jo's 200th comic?

The Couch Athletics server is good, but now that I've started using skins and models and such, I can't go on the server without weapons and characters becoming invisible because of SV_Pure. It's a shame.

I always think that in games that try to 'match player skillz', some skilled player could always exploit it by making a new 'Beginner' account and beat the crap out of all the players of 'similiar skill' for a couple of laughs. Rinse and Repeat. (Yay Exploits!)

P2P fails because you never have any connection with the people you play with, it's different each time and players are just a list of faceless names.

Servers fail because the majority of the admins cannot resist adding mods to "improve" the game.

New system anyone?

@2033: the one you marked as "Dawn of War ?" seems to be similar to the green one. Also I'm not sure that they are from UT. There was Blue and Red teams, but not green.

Haha Good! Mw2 isnt here >:) mhuahaahahahaha fuck you IW and your matchmaking PC!

@2033: Chibi Medic's definitely sitting on the bar, it's just th edge of it is obscured by photo notes.

Where's Chibi Medic Tan sitting on?

The TFC pub server I used to haunt back in the day used to play that song... *gets all nostalgic*

so this is where mecha dad was during the bondage arc.
drinking him self under and avoiding the miss and her crazy bondage fetish.

ye old server "selling booze to hairless chaps since 67'"

STAY OUT COD. WE DON'T LIKE YOUR KIND HERE. GO BACK TO CONSOLE GAMING.

Thanks for the plug, Nerf! We love having you on OUR dedicated servers that WE manage JUST FINE!

What IW doesn't realize is that there's so many more people between hardcore and newbie, who don't want to play in tournaments but also don't want to play on shitty P2P.

Oh, and I really really really want to put photonote on this one, but I'm out of town job related and I don't want to put my email on some random internet cafe computers :(

oh well......

Love this scene, back when I still have cable tv Cheers always been one of the very few shows I watch.

Lot of cable channels and almost nothing to watch, I disconnect my cable tv (but not my cable internet) after tech tv closed down. But I miss mythbusters though :(

This theme song was the best. It's on my iPod

The guy who wrote that gameinformer article is a wanker. Don't waste your time reading it if you don't feel like raging at his stupidity.

Read that, guys.

ENTIRE MW2-MATCHINGMAKING IS BABIES

In hindsight, I see the bubbles withing the beverage, but I am a stubborn SOB, so I say it is a delicious amber beer. Mmmmm. Beer.

Iz dat sum beer I seez?! UNDERAGE DRINKING! ... like we don't all do it. :D

Chibi-Medic: makes me go DAWWWWWWWW each time.
