Whodathunkit?

Fixing the server turned out to be less painful than expected. All I had to do was turn sv_password.

That’ll work until Valve fucks it up again.

Update

While it does allow me to create a lobby now, it doesn’t make it public despite setting it that way. Looks like I’m not out of the woods just yet…

Public Service Announcement: The Future is Nao!

Because meh Blog-o-Sphere friends are soooo marvelous and all, I have some very important information that I would like to take the time to share with you all!

First of all, The Future is Nao! You can see Rand at his very own church next door the Cyan Headquarters! This a real boon for all of yous who are head-over-heels for Rand and are in the Spokane area! Yays! Hear him preach the gospel of spiritual, computering, and fiscal mythology like never before, Live and In Person!

For the rest of us, we will have to continue to not hold our collective breath for Open Source to be released. At this rate, we will reach the end of the Mayan Great Calendar before Open Source is released! Therefore, we will all be forced to make some key decisions before ‘lil ole Earth aligns with the rest of the universe in 2012:

1) To Gmod or not to Gmod? Prudent Explorers are getting their dose of Rand however they can by inserting him into the game! This move is reserved for the more advanced Gmodders, but if you are nice they might be willing to share with you. Or not! LOL!

2) After 2012, because of dramatic climate change and vast pollution, Lima Beans are predicted be the only food that will be able to grow and prosper on this planet. Therefore, it’s time to whip out your Lima Bean recipes for classic yummers like Lima Bean Dip and Lima Bean Casserole!

3) Spam is the perfect companion to Lima Beans! Be sure to stockpile tons of all flavors for the best odds of surviving 2012 to see Open Source eventually released!

4) Keep plenty of pasta on hand in case someone grows tired of Lima Beans and eats the Flying Spaghetti Monster instead!!!!

5) In case of power failure, make sure you have a stationary bicycle on hand that can generate power for yer computer for a few moments while getting yer dose of Uru and Rand in the End Times!

As you can see, with a bit of forethought, we can get through this just fine!!!!

Best Luck to all of you out there and may you all Live Long and Prosper even in the (Back) End Times!!!!

“I will survive! As long as I know how to love Uru I know how to stay alive! I’ve got all meh life to live and I’ve got all meh love to give! I will survive – Hey Hey!!”

Great to be here!!!

Thank you for the warm introduction, Overlord TomalaTram! It’s a real honor and privilege to be blogging here!

As our Overlord mentioned, I am the founder of the Guild of Loud Farters! I am still hoping that we will be able to host our Enchirito, Prune Juice, and Margarita Social, but Open Source doesn’t appear to be opening anytime soon! There is some missing code or summin – Oh noes!!!

I am really excited to be a Guest Blogger! I can blog about some of meh favorite topics, such as Bordeaux and Fromage! Sparkling Wine and Microwave Popcorn! Beaujolais Nouveau and Peanut Butter Sandwiches!!! These are a few of meh Favorite Things!

I also enjoy being a Ranger in Guild Wars! I am working on meh Incorrigible Alehound Title. I’m about halfway there with 5000 Drunken Minutes!!! Wheees!!! I will work on meh Party Animal Titles next for fun! Guild Wars II should be funz toos!!!

Congratulations, Prchrtram, for finishing Prophecies in Guild Wars!!! Amazing!!! You are wayyy ahead of meh!!!

Thank you very much for reading meh blog, and have a great Saturday Night!! Drink Up Meh Hearties and haz lots of funz! Wheees!!!

>Slackers Greifing Stories Chapter 2

Last night I had a hell of a time with a greifer that visited my server. The guy was in my friends list too and he saw me in a game with Ivan_Fookinov. He wanted to join in and I had no problem. It was supposed to be a easy match so that we could practice a serious match after so many goof off matches. He decided to be an ass and run off ahead to the safe room and steam all the health kits. He even tried to tell us that there were never any! Soooo I opened up the admin list and incapped him instantly, then I helped him up, dropped him etc etc etc. Then I set the safe room on fire, sent an airstrike in there to his coordinates, killed him and revived him so that I could kill him again. Eventually I had to permaban him for being a total fuckwit and I removed him from my friends list.

I wish I was filming it… It was fucking hilarious.

>Server news

Tonight/Today I fixed metamod on my TF2 and HL2MP servers. Plus I also added extra maps. Will test those further when I have the time. I got distracted by the Ravenholm campaign for L4D1. Really fun set of maps despite it being slightly buggy. I may do a video review of it in the future. I suggest 4 people play it as the bots tend to be complete fucktards.

Oh well… Time to sleep.

>Invasion of the $5 n00bs.

Tonight Ivan and I decided to play an easy match in L4D2. Had one guy that liked to speed ahead and another asshat from my friends list that tried to grief. Little did they know that they were in my basement… One guy tried to kill himself and I brought him back to life, the other moron got lost and killed constantly. Same guy tried to team kill everyone by lighting a gascan in the saferoom. So I bitchslapped and blinded him. Eventually he got the idea. He was still stupid though.

>Christmas comes to Slackers.

Christmas maps can now be found on L4D1, L4D2 and the TF2 servers!

Last night I actually had a good evening at work. Came home and tried a new soap made of natural oils and sandalwood. Made a sweet rolled Japanese omelet and finished off the rest of my imitation crab with some sushi rice.

Last night Ivan_Fookinov and I were trying to play a serious round of Left 4 Dead 2 when a couple of n00bs came in. We were nice to them, hell everyone has to start somewhere. But I knew it was going to be a long campaign when the first question was “How do i pick up things?”. Things went rather well, at least until the finale came. Everyone got raped. This is why you either train in singleplayer before a match or with a friend. Oh well, Yutram came in and it turned into a total admin match. Between him and I gnomes were everywhere, tanks and witches ran rampant, Francis chargers were there to rape, the Nick Hunters were bouncing in the special gravity. It was all good fun.
