Games and Platforms

If there is one universal truth to this outline it is that we retain the right to change these rules at any time. These are guidelines of what we generally expect, and simply because we haven't explicitly stated here that you can't do X doesn't mean you, by default, can. Generally I don't like Codes of Conduct because it implies that the forum members don't know the appropriate way to act in a public forum. My feeling has always been that if you need these rules to know how to act, then you're probably not going to be here long.

Steam Community

It's live - I've taken the liberty of creating a GWJ group. Here's the link:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GWJ

But I kind of effed up. When you initially create a group, you have the choice to make it private or public. I left it private, thinking I could change it later. So far, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.

So, until I get that figured out, link to your Steam ID here and I'll get you added to the group.

Ventrilo can be downloaded at The Ventrilo download page.

Ventrilo (50 slot):
Server Address: v22.darkstarllc.com (those are lower case L's)
Port: 4018
Password: mmmkay

Mumble (40 slot):
NSMike also has a mumble server that is sitting largely unused, if you don't want to use Vent... It's only a 40-pop server, but I mean, unless the entire Steam group is playing, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Server Address: nsmike.mumbleserverhost.com
Port: 16705

We have a great many different ways to communicate and play games together these days and I thought it was about time we made a sticky to keep it all together.

[quote]Early last year, we got to take a look at some… well, some really fancy-looking concept art laid out on the walls inside Valve’s headquarters.

2012 is off to a great start. Some of us had a pretty impressive January. February is a short month, but that's not an excuse to at least knocking one more game off the pile.

If you're interested, m0nk3yboy, has the 12 month pile plan thread over here.

A quick reminder, in order to be considered "Pile of Shame" the game needs to be at least three months old. Otherwise, it's just a new game you haven't gotten to playing yet.

Also, if you are curious about some of the previous threads, Pick's of the Pile, etc...

Just saw the video on Joystiq for this one. The only part I wonder about is the FPS looking part.

From now until 1pm PST on Sunday, Dawn of War 2: Retribution will be free to play. Many GWJers agree that Dawn of War 2 is a fantastic game.

It would be awesome to see some new faces give the game a shot this weekend. Perhaps we could bring some spark into the DoW2 community.

Edit: I'll be popping in to give people advice while they learn the system to help ease getting used to the relic RTS-systems.

How is PC gaming dead, again?

[quote=GlobalGameJam.org]The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event. A project of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA), it occurs annually in late January, and brings together thousands of game enthusiasts, participating in hundreds of local jams around the world. Attendance at each site might be anywhere from 1-300, though is typically 5-25 people, usually students, though many professional game developers and other interested hobbyists attend as well.
