The screenshot topic

[Jolt]

Portugal lives! I'm happy. :)

[Jolt]

Anyways, here's some Single-Player Left4Dead screenshots I took while playing:

Tribute to my leet-skilled foresight on how an infected was in the toilet and shot through the material.


Me facing one of those mega-hordes. Curiously, the girls love me. I guess that's a thing I carry from the real world into the virtual one.


And me in the process of wtfpwning the said mega-horde.

Yikes. How'd they get that close to you?

[Jolt]

There's a thing the zombies have: Overwhelming numbers.

Obviously I can't be killing them all at once. When someone happens to get too close to me, they get to see how tasty the butt of my rifle is.

[Jolt]

Some more screenies.

The basic guideline of the game is "When in doubt, shoot." I heard what seemed like a zombie sound from the other side of the door so...I shot. Whereas most of the time, it is nothing...This time, I was right. :P


Zombies are really stupid. Why? Because they think they can kill me. >_>


This horde was gigantic at best. Thus why I'm already out of ammo. That's what I get for playing in Expert level. Louis is getting in trouble as usual.


As you can see in the wall, I sprayed all my bullets against an incoming horde of zombies, coming up the stairs. As I'm low of graphics, the bodies disapear after a handful of seconds. What you see there is one of the zombies which came last in the marathon.


Louis is such a helpless guy. The rest of the team needs to be constantly protecting him. I'm in the process of killing those pesky puke-adoring zombies.


*sigh* Why must I always be watching over Louis? In other news, submachinegun powa!


At the beginning of the level, I begin with some target practice. Just to be sure that the weapon isn't jammed or so.

Those are expert level screenshots? Expert with bots and everyone at full health doesn't look normal to me...?

[Jolt]

I was trying on teh' god cheat when I took those screenies. But it was in expert though.

EDIT: Never finished a campaign in Expert. Only in Advanced so far. I must say it's much more fun in Expert or Advanced since I barely manage to survive through the end of the level.

Expert takes a lot of determination and "Monk /VehoNex / Crazed Rabbit" Stubbornness. You WILL die, its just are you gonna quit or are you gonna pound it into your head that you can do this and suffer through 30 reloads on the frustratingly lame "Sewers" of No Mercy.

[Jolt]

On No Mercy my teams (Me and my friends) usually reach the part where I took the photo with the minigun very badly treated. Afterwards its normally the horde after pressing the switch that kills us. After 1/2 reloads, I'm tired of constantly wandering the very same places and leave.

I must say yesterday I had the most emotional game ever on advanced. Blood Harvest. The level before the Finale was ridiculously insane with never ending hordes. Then boomers spawned like crazy and we were puked like 5 times on the house just before the safe house. One of my friends died while fighting those endless hordes and the rest of us were badly mauled. After we got rid of those hordes, we headed to the safe house in a train in a bridge and to our dismay, there was a witch right in front of the :flower: safe house door. I remembered that my friend had dropped an assault rifle when killed (I ran out of ammo while killing zombies in the house). He said he had little ammo, but didn't remember how much. So we went back for the assault rifle. After I got the rifle, it only had like 60 bullets and immediatly a horde hits once again. I basically wasted everyhting that assault rifle had in the horde, afterwards another boomer puked on another friend of mine, triggering yet another horde. Needless to say, we left the house in even worse condition than in which we returned to it (We all had red HP). So we tried our luck to sneak past the witch (Which is obviously impossible, considering she's right next to the door.) So one of my friends triggered the witch and was obviously killed. Afterwards, we managed to kill her and entered the safe house. Most of the finale went smoothly until the first tank killed one of my friends. Afterwards our HP steadily went downhill. We (Me and a friend) barely managed to get to the rescue armored vehicle (We had like 5 HP each), while the other friend still alive got stuck in the final horde (We were already in the vehicle shooting at everything that approached the vehicle) and as soon as he was incapacitated, the doors closed and we won the damn campaign. Woo! That was a good game.

How curious, I had no idea there was a group of that on steam.

I rarely play on the net since I play on a lap-top which wasn't made to play games. As a consequence my games are already very laggy as they are while offline (Especially in outdoors places, even more so when the horde attacks in said outdoor places), how much more in online, due to ping and connection problems. I play with my friends on LAN usually.

No wonder I got "Oooh! Shiny graphics for L4D! They feel so smooth!"

So, a little background- after having secured my position so nicely in the Americas, I found myself increasingly bereft of basic necessities- coal primarily. Since its VIP, I still had peace treaties with most of the people in Africa that the programmers put in. In a near simultaneous group of events, I was able to invade what is now Nigeria(once 1885 had passed), annexing two smaller tribes and obtaining myself glorious, glorious coal and timber, in addition to setting up colonies on three different pacific island chains. Unfortunately, my grab at Africa unsettled the Euros. At various points, I have been at war with Germany(managed to defend myself and grabbed a few of their African colonial buildings while they were in the process of being built), but otherwise settled for status quo. My old buddy, France, also attacked, but once again, I was able to fend off the attack. Then, finally, my old nemesis, the Brits, attacked once more. I seized Togo in the war. A while passed, somewhat uneventfully. And then, three days after the peace treaty expired, they came AGAIN. I'm not sure if they've just been this adventurous all game long, but I got fed up. With the US on my side once more(they guaranteed my independence), I occupied the last of their west African possessions near Togo. Then, brazenly, I send a scouting fleet into the channel- a meager fleet, and not an army in sight at the time. I jump on the opportunity, leading to this...





The US negotiates a treat on my behalf, and I receive the last two british provinces in the Togo area. The US, during the war, annexed Canada and took control of the Cree natives while getting assaulted by the French.





I AM ON TOP OF THE WOOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!



NOT!




Following the war against Britain, almost immediately I might add, the Yanks decide to remind me just who's in charge on this continent. Praying, I sent an envoy to the US, offering a white peace, hoping their war weariness(they'd been fighting France for a long time following France's DoW on me previously) would work in combination with my fierce last lines of defense would convince the Yanks to accept. Miraculuously, they accept and I lose only face during the war.

And an upgrade on my EU3 campaign, started this one with Mecklenburg if I haven't mentioned it yet, and managed to form Germany before 1600, now Austria has had the position of emperor of the HRE for some time and overall it looks like this:

Proof that I am still a mediocre player in Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. The teal cities belong to Cyrus who is dominating the game.



80 turns later, finally made contact with the other continent. I'm Isabella and while I'm not doing too bad, my main ally is Joao II, who is doing very poorly. Cyrus, Huayna Capac and Zara Yaqob are all friends and dominate my continent, they also dislike me. My roomate, who is playing the Celts is even in worse shape, at war with four factions and getting totally destroyed.

Finally, my Fallout 3 character, not much to see about this.

Jolt is improving in Quake 3 Arena again!

I can't find a Vicky topic, and since a lot of people are posting screens of this game here, thought I would give it a shot and ask:

I heard you can play the game as the Manhattan or Paris Commune, is that true? If so, I really need the game.

LOOONNNNGGG game... But damn it was fun. About 20 min in they controlled most of the map except the south side, and there was a constant arty to my team mates base. I soon got out jagdpanther and pushed back on both sides. At the end of the game where my team mate and I came back from the brink they kept saying we didnt have the bragging rights because it wasnt a vp game. And only real people play vp matches. BAHAHAHAHAHA sore losers. Ima post some in game shots from that match later.

[Jolt]

32% accuracy now, am playing ALOT better. Will probably continue to improve. :D

[Veho Nex]

He's hanging in there



And at the beginning of that match they called me a noob.



Was a slaughter

Im sure if my computer could handle this game on max detail these would be way more impressive and bad A looking

I am sorry, Meneldil, for taking so long to answer. I haven't played as France or the US much. However, a little browsing has informed me that the Paris Commune is NOT playable directly. However, the Paris Commune IS an event that triggers for France in 1871. France is given the options of either kicking them out(which triggers an increase in rebelliousness), negotiate(which results in loss of prestige and cash), or to let them into the government, which results in le Parti Ouvrier Français becoming the ruling party of France.

EDIT: and I still have nothing on the Manhattan commune.

how did you manage 4 tigers? oh wait- did you use that PE recovery vehicle?

[Veho Nex]

aint it grand. its right behind them The match ended before his other two could finish their jobs making it 6. They saw the four and said we cheated and left

[Veho Nex]

Once I found out you can slam gliders through buildings in this match I started dropping them every where taking out what i could get my hands on. Man that was a lot of fun.
