Got tired of spending 2 hours+ getting my ass kicked by consistently by un even teams. No one ever wanted to step up and make the really good players manually go to separate teams so when the randomizer put them on the same team it over before it ever started.

If you go back 100-200 pages there were long discussions about this, but many were against going with picked teams. I myself would prefer playing with team captains that pick their teams.

I'd be ok with that. At this point, it no longer hurts to always be picked last.

Yes, I am well past the point in my life where I will feel bad about being picked last for kicksoccer.

Just get me in a game lobby. No one ever needs to fear being picked last if I'm there.

This one goes back about 100-200 pages too!

Only if you are supposed to be the lifeguard.

The real question here is... What the hell is kicksoccer?

I wish I had more time to play. The most gametime I get is usually my breaks during work, but that's about it.

Someone should pick a week sometime in some month and maybe put up an event to play this game. Maybe other people would play as well.

This. You let me know a solid recurring date and time and I should be able to sign up. This is what my static gaming life has come to, by the way. I know also that I can make Drexam come too.

Next tuesday, the 16th, at 10pm EST? Schedule two hours, if we get enough committed we can assemble teams in advance, balance them?

Open to suggestions, my schedule is flexible, just want to get another game or two of GWJ L4D VS in, been waaaaaaaaaaay too long.

Sadly I work nights so that doesn't work so well for me, but I understand why it would be hard to schedule this kind of thing for the weekend. I'm also not super competitive so if you guys want to play VS I'm not going to feel all that left out anyways.

I generally can't come on until 10 PM ET, which I don't know will work for everyone. I'm up for it, but if you can find a time that doesn't work for me- GO FOR IT.

Anyone up for a versus match Friday night? I'll be starting one up around 10PM EST, so let me know if you're interested.

Color me interested. There's a chance I'll be out of town, but if I'm home I'd love to kill some zombies (and you too, Laarrs).

Sure, why not.

Sounds like half a lobby right there.

Tempting, though I will be awful. Steam says I last played this on 6/25. :p

Don't worry, I plan on playing terribly.

I want to, but that may be too early for me. I'll try to make it.

I don't like to play until my wife goes to bed. If chance arises, I'll absolutely check the lobby at 10 (probably not going to happen- but will show up if it does).

This is exactly why I rage uninstalled L4D2 the last time I played it.

I'll do my best to make sure I'm online around that time and hope there's a spot open.

I'll also be doing my best to make sure there's a bottle of tequila at my desk, so my contribution to the team may be of questionable value!

I plan on being available tonight so if a spot needs filling' I'll come runnin'. Better spam requests early, Lars! (maybe there will even be 2 lobbies!)

There's little question what 'value' I'll be adding but count on me shooting Lars at some point regardless of the teams.

(I really don't mean to when we're teammates. It's like the scorpion and the frog).

(edited to correct my fable)

That was a good bit of fun. I'm happy I joined.

Lars is a jerk.

Hey, it's not my fault the game was invalidated.

SO was anyone left 4 dead? I logged on late and saw the game was mis-stream. Lucky fools.

Boo, I was out last night. I miss you all. Even Lars.

It's now the week-end deal. Guess some might grab it for Halloween.

So, people will be playing this. People should play this.

Who doesn't already have it though? I mean, really, who doesn't?

I have 18 friends out of 155 who don't appear to have this game. I need to hunt them down and throw molotovs at them.
