Tempest_01

I have to reinstall it though, as a config I used fucked it up, and -autoconfig didnt' fix it and I didn't feel like manually fixing every command to "1" from "0"

My mouse came, so I can probably play now, but I need to actually figure out how the game works first.

So do I! Hence the Orbital sessions.

There's a TF2 wiki if you want to get a head start.

Mine's friendly_h.  Steam names should appear on to the left if you fill in the field in the profile.  It's been a while since I've played.

I might buy this soon.

the control scheme is simple, took me a day to get used to it, and most FPS use one very similar.

Mine is Mina.

It probably won't be so fun with so few players on big maps. Also, are we actually getting a server or something?

I figured we'd all just join the same game.

We should add Dave to the list. He needs more reasons to learn2play.

AND THERE'S CS:S TOO NOW ITS ON OFFER AND ON MACS AND STUFF

Like seriously, the price (66% off). Also the new overhaul/update looks really fucking awesome, even if I am something of a sucker for lots of statistics.

Please?  :-\

Also I'm rostilfc on Steam. Even if I don't have TF2.

If everyone ends up with the Source engine somehow, we could all play Goldeneye Source.

Given that pretty much all the decent Valve games are on the Source engine, I'd imagine most people will have it.

Goldeneye Source.

Woah woah woah.
This caught my attention.
Do tell.

It's Half-Life 2 modded to vaguely recreate GoldenEye

http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source/videos/goldeneye-source-trailer#imagebox

I've never tried it, but I'd be willing to. Though I suspect proper PC controls might unbalance weapons a bit which were fine with the old N64 controls.

Oh wow, that looks sweet.
Definitely going to have to get this.
I guess a purchase of the Orange Box is in my future.

Last time I checked, Orange Box was a ridiculously low price for what you get, unless you've already got Half-Life 2, Portal, Counter-Strike Source etc. They're all fairly old games now, but they're still friggin' awesome, and it's especially worth it if you don't have a particularly high-spec PC.

I don't have any of them, and neither one of my computers has anything more than a default graphics card. :p

If you've got an actual graphics card, then you might be OK as long as your specs aren't awful.
I definitely wouldn't bother with Intel integrated graphics though. From my experience it just flat out doesn't work properly, even if the rest of the specs for the computer are fairly good.
