alright, i added all that info and cleaned up the lists a bit. should be a lot easier to read.
keep in mind if you want people to add you in games, i need more info than just your name usually. like battletags, friend codes, or whatever the hell the game uses. otherwise people will have to contact you through other means to add you to the game.
as for any console stuff, you can add that in your forum profiles. most of you have done that already anyway ^^

*sigh* moving my steam install from my SSD to the HDD so I can actually play my games. Gonna miss those quick loads but a new SSD isn't in the budget just yet.
On the other hand, I can now re-install TF2 and L4D2, so add me to those lists please :>
i rock the fucken house in l4d2
Might be an interesting idea to start up some sort of TBA game night sort of deal, like what we used to do with SC2:WOL and TF2 a bit. Make some kind of loose calendar, saying this saturday (etc) we should play x game. Then people could just show up in the irc at the designated time or whatever, and if there is enough people, we could play. Could be an interesting way to play a wider variety of games / incorporate more people. Also would be give us some time to install if needed.
yeh

Playing with four or so friends of mine with the modpack from Feed the Beast. It's pretty fun so far. I really wish that Zeppelin Mod from a couple versions ago was updated and included in this modpack, it'd be so fun to be a steampunk adventurer with an airship.

it's pretty cool

If anyone else is playing, I'm really enjoying Titanfall and would like to have people I know on my team rather than strangers. As always, my Origin name is Gilthwixt.
i'm morbidly curious about titanfall, but i really don't want to purchase another EA game. i'm open to having my mind changed, though.
I could write a whole lot about Titanfall, I'm 50+ hours in. I know how you feel about EA because I was/am the same way, but the beta pretty much sold me. So far, EA hasn't put so much as a finger in this pot yet, it's all Respawn Entertainment. I'm worried that future installments will have too much meddling but the first entry is pretty solid. To sum it up as best I can:
Pros:
+Almost perfectly balanced gameplay
+Titan control is tight and intuitive
+Pilot mobility is so addictively fluid it's like meth
Cons:
-Shotguns and Satchel Charges are pretty strong, need nerfing
-"Campaign mode" is basically just multiplayer + fluff dialogue and cutscenes, and disappointing plotwise
-Matchmaking is still wonky; takes forever to find matches when you're premade and/or in an unpopular playlist.
-Teams can get incredibly unbalanced in numbers/skill
The last two cons are currently being worked on, I didn't buy this game for the campaign, and the shotguns can be outplayed if you can adapt/have map awareness. They'll probably nerf the range on them soon enough anyway.
I still recommend getting it though because the Titan gameplay and Parkour make for a completely refreshing experience that I don't think Battlefield, Planetside 2, TF2, CoD, or Halo can match. They did a surprisingly good job balancing Pilot vs Pilot, Pilot vs. Titan, and Titan vs Titan, with nearly every weapon/perk/ability feeling powerful and useful in the right context. I use a variety of different loadouts and make MVP 30% of the time, Top 3 85% of the time. It's just fun, wall-running from building to building, clearing the entire map in seconds, flanking the enemy and killing a bunch of AI-controlled minions. Then, when the enemy pilots come to investigate your blip on the mini-map, you wall cling over a doorway while cloaked, drop down and kill a couple of them, flashbang and runaway from the others, who chase you only to find you sitting in your recently called Titan. Moments like these don't happen frequently enough in other games and aren't nearly as amazing.
If you do decide to get the game, I play regularly with several of my IRL friends and we almost always have room for another. Now excuse me, I have to clean this jizz off my keyboard.
what about the titan gameplay? i've barely seen anything about that. i'm more interested in that then typical fps play.
also, i really wish i could try a demo or something. there doesn't seem to be enough content to justify the $60 price tag
Titan gameplay is more balanced than pilot gameplay and also really fun. My initial reaction and that of my friends was that pilot mobility was so fun that we didn't really bother piloting Titans in the beginning and just left them on auto-pilot. Once the excitement of Mirrors-Edge-Multiplayer wears off, it becomes apparent that Titans are too important to ignore, as a coordinated team of 3+ people in Titans will dominate the entire map and prevent a whole team of pilots from doing anything meaningful.
The balance of Titans is really straightforward:
-Three Chasis: a Speed-type, Damage-type, and Defense-type
-Three active abilities: Electric-smoke, Vortex Shield, and Particle Wall
-Six Primary Weapons each with unique sidegrades: Chaingun, 40mm Cannon, Railgun, Arc Cannon, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher
-Four Ordnance: Rocket Salvo, Cluster Missile, Multi-Target Missiles, and Warheads
Essentially, every option the loadout trades one strength/weakness for another and excels under different circumstances. The Chaingun has average dps, but is incredibly accurate and is great for taking out pilots. If you upgrade it with an accelerator, it does great damage with crits but now you have to burst fire if you want to hit pilots. The 40mm cannon does great damage, but has travel time, so you have to lead shots and it's pretty hard to hit moving pilots with. You can splash damage them to death, but that doesn't work against pilots on rooftops. If you upgrade it to 3-shot burst, you do better dps but lose to high mobility Stryder Titans who just strafe your burst. And so on and so forth. Arc Cannon gives you area of affect, Grenade Launcher gives you area denial, Rocket Launcher is a mid-rage powerhouse. The only one that isn't strong is the Railgun, which is supposed to be the long-range sniper, but is generally mediocre at everything and needs a buff.
And the situational uses apply to the ordnances and active abilities as well. Do you want area denial, portable cover, or defensive counterplay? Burst, AoE, or DoT?
There's a mode specifically for fighting in Titans. My friends and I play it often because it's where teamwork and communication really shine through, as flanking and defensive lines are really important. In most other gametypes you optimize your Titan-loadout for solo combat since there's no guarantee your teammates will have their Titans the same time as you, but when everyone is guaranteed to have theirs all at once, you can start specializing and experimenting with team comps. Things like sending a defensive Titan up front with a Vortex Shield and regen perks while everyone takes shots from the back, or having two speed Titans flank from opposite sides and pop smoke to disrupt the enemy line while someone with a Grenade launcher is raining damage all over them from behind cover.
