Wait, so it's wrong for me to think that it doesn't matter what game peripheral you use, and to get annoyed at people trying to one up the Mouse, but it's okay for you to call me stupid for disagreeing? I know I can be a big gasbag constantly, but that's ass backwards. Or wait, am I stupid for looking down on the peons subjected to nickel and diming, at the 'conveniece' of a mouse? Either way, sit and spin. Douche.

Havoc · #**303** 05-20-2011, 08:59 AM

Aw look, the troll is trying to throw a fit but utterly failing at it. How cute. Let's throw bread at it until it goes away.

I just finished arranging the ending song for flute ensemble. It doesn't work as well as Still Alive, but it's ok. I'll probably post a video once I record my soon-to-be-formed flute ensemble playing it. I'm considering transcribing the turret song, too. That would work in a smaller ensemble.

I just finished the story again and loved it again. It was good to do a runthrough to get a feel for the post-game atmosphere that helps to make the song so good just in-case there was anything missing from my version.

I believe so, but it's not a fact. Views on other peoples' views are still views.

:

and to get annoyed at people trying to one up the Mouse,

Yes. They should be able to be happy about things. Neither of them were arguing with you, in fact in this entire run of posts there were only two sentences that amounted to 'The mouse is better'-'No it isn't'. There has been no argument over which is better, only one of whether it's actually possible for a certain peripheral to be better than another (The Forums vs. You).

:

but it's okay for you to call me stupid for disagreeing?

Ah. Here we are. That's probably my fault for not specifying. It's not stupid for you to disagree (I think you're wrong, but again that's my view and I'm trying to be impartial here - at least on the whole controller issue). The stupid thing you did was get completely riled up and attack largely irrelevant...

You know, the 3rd paragraph you helpfully edited into your other post and the rest of your most recent one pretty much says what needs to be said. I called you stupid because you're being a big gasbag. Acknowledgement does not equal resolution. Try and work on it.

:

Or wait, am I stupid for looking down on the peons subjected to nickel and diming, at the 'conveniece' of a mouse?

I'd just like to point out that I try games with different controllers if I think it'll be better. I'm not a slave to the fucking thing.

I want a seprate Poll.

Mouse/Keyboard VS Controller.

Havoc · #**307** 05-24-2011, 03:19 AM

Could have sworn that thread existed. Oh wait, it does.

Crashpunk · #**308** 05-24-2011, 03:40 AM

So it does. Turns out I commented in it as well, Boy I need to learn to remember.

OANST · #**309** 05-24-2011, 02:10 PM

I have all of the single player achievements, but no one to play multiplayer with. I do have a headset now, if anyone is up to tackling it with me.

Portal 2 is amazing. I only got it rather recently. A little too easy for my tastes but I enjoyed it a great deal regardless. Haven't played much multiplayer yet, though; the guy I played a few levels with wouldn't reply to half of what I said so it got rather frustrating.

By the way, Nate; why is your post invisible? I didn't see how old the thread was, and I was going to ask if it was just me that couldn't see anything when I thought to click the Quote button and read what your post consisted of. I'm still not sure if it's meant to be invisible, though, and if it is - why? Wouldn't it be better if people read that?

***Nate*** · #**312** 03-04-2012, 03:24 AM

It's invisible because I /was/ planning on deleting that post after DarkHoodness had posted. Thanks for making that impossible now.

DarkHoodness · #**313** 03-04-2012, 04:08 AM

Yeah I requested to necro-post here, there's something small I wanna share.

Ever wanted to play the original Portal in Portal 2's updated engine and level style/design? Last night I found someone making a mod for Portal 2 doing just that, and they have released a demo of the first few levels. It's something I was waiting for someone to do for a little while.

I dunno how I missed his own showcase vid, but I did, and made my own vid (even though YouTube loves to corrupt my stuff lately). However one of my suggestions was that he should re-introduce the original soundtrack to retain some atmosphere from the original game, and my vid still demonstrates that (I added it in editing):

There are some bugs, and perhaps the starting chamber should be like the original and not look like the hotel room, but otherwise it looks very good. Will be keeping a close eye on this.

I'll MP with you if you want. Me and Phylum got sick of trying to fit into each others' timezones.

Crashpunk · #**315** 03-04-2012, 06:59 AM

I haven't been on Portal 2 in a while but what I remember is that the DLC hurt mine and Havoc's brains.

Varrok · #**316** 03-04-2012, 07:11 AM

I can MP with some of you if you need - I've completed both MP and DLC, but I'll try not to spoil anything.

LondonTime + 1h Zone

Well exactly. The only reason I volunteered was because neither me or Ench had got very far. Mutual virginity is vital for the full experience. And in the game.

It's also awkward and hurts more than it has to.

Can't argue with that, although I've completed whole MP with 2 guys who hadn't done that before and their experience wasn't broken because of me. And I used to forget the solutions for most chambers, so every time it's like a new adventure for me 8D

Can't argue with that

Argues anyway

Varrok · #**321** 03-04-2012, 10:32 AM

It's still not as good experience as if I'm playing for the first time too, but not bad in overall, I mean

We did get trough it though.

Crashpunk · #**323** 03-04-2012, 12:22 PM

Yes we did. Eventually. The cutscene at the end was hilarious.

Wouldn't it make more sense for me to mp with him to stop the exact problems we had occurring?

Interested, Ench?

MeechMunchie · #**325** 03-05-2012, 12:13 AM

Oh yeah. I thought he was one of the Irish guys. Damn you foreigners and your seperate countries.

Phylum · #**326** 03-05-2012, 12:49 AM

The best part is that he's actually an additional 30 mins ahead of me.

whoever did this has talent. i hate the look of the original, the test chambers are really 70's style and tacky, whereas portal 2's test chambers look futuristic and new, like they should.

AlexFili · #**328** 04-02-2012, 11:31 AM

Still need to download this off steam... damn you slow internets.

Phylum · #**329** 04-02-2012, 11:45 PM

Just download it over several days/weeks?

My download took a few nights to finish.

crimsonxking · #**330** 04-04-2012, 11:35 PM

This was like the best game of 2011. I'm still waiting patiently for more DLC...
