Penguincon 2011: It was Fedorable

If were're still looking for games to play I'll throw Bloodline Champions out there.
It's free, fairly small, doesn't take a lot to run, and easy to learn.

It can do anything from 1v1s to 5v5s

I had it installed on my old machine but I haven't played it yet.

I'll try and remember to toss it on the list. My concern is that our internet won't be what it needs to be for all these online-only games. The lack of LAN play on most modern games concerns me.

However, if the entire weekend ends up being Torchlight 2, I won't complain =)

Does it offer the Unbeatable Value of another game I know so many of you are fond of? Because I could completely see a bunch of you running away with that one for the weekend, too. If the internet holds out.

Yes, if we have the pipes, I imagine pulling people away from LoL might be a duty I need to assign someone.

It is still free, but it could become very costly for me in the near future. Funny comic.

LoL and WoW should be outlawed from every LAN ever.

We have semi-regular LoL scrubs practice nights for people who are learning the ropes. Usually Fridays and Mondays. If you ever decide to act on that curiosity and download LoL, PM me, oilypenguin or drdoak and we'll put you in the Steam group.

With that endorsement, how could I not download it?

I am pretty hooked on it and just started playing a week ago. Lot of fun in that game though I still seem to get gang-ganked (Hey look, I invented a word! I think...) every other minute. If you can find it cheap, the retail box game is a good option for getting a diverse set of champions at the start.

Alright alright alright already. (downloading LoL) There. You happy now you filthy, filthy bunch of enablers?

I've downloaded it as well. I haven't loaded it up, but I will.

Oh good god, we keep growing.

Look for me on steam this weekend, we'll play through a couple of bot matches to learn you guys up.

And if you don't already have it, we use mumble for voice.

Frozen Synapse could be a good tournament game.

Don't overextend alone. :3

The only sins considered unforgivable are murder and not playing League of Legends before today. Oh god. This game is good.

I played the tutorial match against bots... I suck.

What's your Steam handle?

I played the LoL tutorial and managed to squeak out a win. I think my AI teammates did way better than me.

Then I played co-op versus the AI. We got hammered.

Lol is an unrelenting mistress that I have been visiting off and on for about a year and a half....
She will thrill you with a nice string of wins and amazing plays and then the lol karma flips and you get you face pounded in to the ground, hard...

If you missed it from the lol thread this is a good comic too....

Or apparently if you missed it from when I linked it originally, which is what started the entire LoL discussion in this thread, you filthy skimmer.

Don't shame him! We're still trying to guilt him into blowing off his in-laws! We don't want to send mixed signals!

I have sent my gold doubloons to you sir. Lock them up good and tight and then bury them on a deserted island for no apparent reason. Because pirates love the idea of gold but can't stand the sight of it?

Glad to have you on board, SB.

Aaand I might be interesting in this. LoL has had me once before and I'm feeling the call.

In other news, I'm registered. Yay!

What time frame are we looking at for getting hotel rooms? Not completely sure which days I'll be taking off from work yet, so I'd like to wait a bit if possible.

You've got some time, Gunner. The discounted rate ends I think 30 days before the event? So you've got some time to figure it out. Glad to have you on board.

You. Are. Bringing. LoL. Into. The. Fold?

Her tiny blue hand reaches for a goddamned, big hammer. She smiles wickedly, whispering "Whomper".

Poppy hears the call to spear a bunch of dudes into the rocks.

Spoiler:

Come on lottery ticket, work!

Only 115 days left!
