If we can talk to these guys and get this going "if needed or not" that would be great.

Also, to those really interested in playing TF2 360, feel free to drop by for our Wednesday night games, the more the merrier. Typically myself or shrensky does the hosting.

I don't think rabbit has TF2 for the 360. Not sure why he's on the list.

Well, he didn't specify and he was the only podcast member left. We've got a couple of weeks to get it figured out.

By the way, TF 2 is definitely a go.

Not to put any pressure on you guys, but don't f*ck this up or the wrath of Gaald will be on you.

No really, it's all up to you guys. I don't think Fremont wants to go with the "both are losers" in the event of a win on our part. So, I'll have to dream up some sort of tie breaker. Maybe Certis, Rabbit, Hilden and John can have XBLA team showdown of Hardwood Spades or something.

Any chance of us changing it so we don't play 2Fort? It seems pretty universally loathed. Maybe Dustbowl instead?

Sort of late to try and change the map. It was floated out there 3 weeks ago and no one had any real objections on either site. I don't want to be in a do-or-die and try to change the agreed upon setup. It looks sort of shifty.

I'm not seeing a lot of chit chat here. Should Certis fire up the 8 track for the podcast recording this weekend?

When will there be a GWJ - Freemont TF 2 PC matchup??

Although I doubt I would qualify for the team I just don't "get" shooters on a console. It must be the name.

Mike O'Hara over at Team Fremont is looking for some PC gaming vs. GWJ. Try getting in touch with him.

A PC match Freemont would be cool. I know there are a ton PC TF2 players who would love to play, especially ones that weren't able to participate in the OO vs GWJ matches. And to add fuel to the fire we are still undefeated =p

Mystic, we had a random drawing in the TF vs. GWJ thread. We had more people sign up in each game than the max limit allows. I'd never ignore you on purpose, but I did miss your request (I just had to go through all the TF vs. GWJ threads and look at your post tracks). What I did find was your post was after the team had already been picked. Let Bean and Fred know, and give us the finger on Friday during the Gears game if they need someone. It's all good.

I apologize to everyone for not keeping up with the original GWJ vs. Team Fremont post-- it fell off my "recent posts" list and I forgot to go back and check it. Thanks to the podcast, I just now realized our game is Friday. I better practice some 2Fort since we usually skip it on our Wednesday night games (I'm not complaining, Hemi, I understand not wanting to change the map at the last minute).

I just looked at our team list, what is everyone planning on playing? I'll probably be Medic.

Depends on what we're missing, but i'll probably start off spy and switch over as needed.

I'll probably go engy on 2Fort - you can never have enough of them around. Soldier or heavy depending on circumstances on Well. Soldier on Gravel Pit as well, maybe. Though I still haven't found a class I really like on that map, especially on defense. And throughout, if we want/need a second medic, I'm happy to do that.

I'll be around as an alternate, but I won't be useful for anything more than a meat shield/distraction, as I've probably only played about an hour of TF2. Ever. If there's someone more qualified that could stand in in a pinch, if it comes to that.I won't be offended.

Have we established who is hosting yet? (if i missed it, I apologize for being a filthy skimmer)

I'm looking forward to it. Is the start time 10 EST?

Im up for soldier, demo or pyro duty. No problems with being a medic either. Whatever we feel we need.

After fixing my clock, I realized that this is going on an hour earlier than I thought. I'm going to a Jonathan Coulton concert that night (coincidence?) and will probably not make it back before 10pm.

Anyone want my spot? Any chance of us subbing people in and out between rounds?

Assuming everyone else shows up (which, admittedly, is a big if) I don't think we need to pick a sub - isn't the largest we can do 8v8? And don't we have 9 people listed up there?

Good catch Swiss. I guess that takes care of Mr Eko's absence. Occasionally Bumpie has been able to host something like 12v12, but I think it's an unreproducible fluke.

Tomorrow is the day. Just remember, if you need any sort of motivation to perform well (or at least better than the COD 4 team) I give you this:
