Nevsky Posted October 20, 2009 I'm guessing this is happening. As with the last couple of weeks, I have a lecture, but that's finished by 7.30pm. Just received an email that there's going to be a screening of Fritz Lang's M right afterwards, as a link with the lecture ('Talkies'). Bit of a bother, as I've already seen the film, own it on DVD and I'm looking forward to running down Action Shakespeare... on the other hand, hm, any extra contact time makes this course less of a waste of money. So, either I'm there in full effect, or I'll turn up for the last 30 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted October 20, 2009 Well, that was awesome. Lots of great moments tonight, like my intense carro a carro with Marek on the bridge, and the totally awesome fire truck blockade consisting of eight (or at least close to it) burning fire trucks. Also, rocketing Nevsky (I think) as he was speeding straight at me and having the explosion lift and turn his car just enough not to behead me. Oh, and while you were running around sniping each other oh Happiness Island, I managed to collect three -- three -- boats in a pile on one of the piers. I guess we can all agree who really won that round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted October 20, 2009 Yeah some damn great moments, especially nevsky pulling off a barrel roll in a fire truck (which gave me the lead) but it was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 20, 2009 That carro a carro was fucking hilarious. Rubbing bumpers that hard did become vaguely homoerotic after a while though. I'm just sayin. Oh and based on how often you guys killed me Shenmue 3 is hereby cancelled. Let that be a lesson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah, you need to sort out your connection, Peels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 21, 2009 It's been so long since James pinned me down with a fire hose, and the spray was only rendering quite a way above my guy, that for about 10 seconds I was thinking "Come on... why won't my guy get up?" James, later getting to spawnkill you repeatedly at your roadblock kind of sweetened it, as did seeing Nevsky do a barrel roll in a fire engine. toblix said: Yeah, you need to sort out your connection, Peels. Sorry I didn't see you for most of that, TP I was late, how many different people tried hosting? Sometimes we've just managed to find a host that everyone can connect to. Perhaps a guide to setting up a game that won't let strangers in would also let this happen more quickly on the night? It's not obvious or straightforward at all, and everyone who tries hosting for the first time seems to fall foul of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted October 21, 2009 I seem to remember things going well the times I have hosted in the past. I can try next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"great moments", guys... *sniff* It seems to be you and Action shakespere, Probably the best way to test this would be either of you host a party (xbox one) and invite the other, being unable to connect would confirm it. The only reason I can think f is having incompatible NAT types (say one of you has closed NAT and the other had moderate, or both of you have closed NAT), in some bizarre occurrences you may have closed or moderate NAT, but your xbox detects it as open. I felt really awkward being the host and not knowing what to suggest to do, which wasn't fun. Actually Thunderpeel could you hear Action? different NAT types can prevent voice communication.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted October 21, 2009 Don't sweat it, Patters... there's always another GTbA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Action Shakespeare Posted October 21, 2009 One of us hosting a game does sound like a good idea...also I'll try and fiddle with my NAT for once to see if it helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevsky Posted October 21, 2009 Hey, I really enjoyed this week! Especially terrorising Actn Shakespeare in a wholly over-the-top verbal way. And doing a barrel roll. Three times! (The fire truck works best, I found). Also, mad sniping d'match. I think we reached our 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' with that first GTA Race, by the way. Just way too indulgent. How long was it in total, 40 minutes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
