since it hasn't been posted yet here on the new site, I'll do so we have a steam group! we don't really do much, but rostran targo decided to make one so there you go. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tohno-chan
>>160 >but rostran targo decided to make one Actually, Popo was the one who made it, and then he passed the ownership to me when he...yeah.
Do a lot of people use mics? I'm kind of shy about talking
>>161 oh... never knew that. >>162 don't have to if you don't want to(i do tho). then again, we don't really use it for anything. I just use it as another group of people to spam invites to when playing l4d.
Yay just joined you guys. Hi.
>>165 Forgive me for being retarded, but how do I go about joining? I play L4D all the time (pretty much all I use Steam for)
>>206 Am I being trolled?
>>207 It wasn't visible in the OP's picture, and I've never had to join a Steam group before. Fuck, I was only asking, you don't need to be a dick over it.
I've got two extra copies of Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. If anyone's interested... leave me a message. I might give out more copies of shitty games depending on the Steam Christmas sales and if they renew the game packs deals since I have no friends.
>>283 I'll be your buddy, buddy. http://steamcommunity.com/id/boppsson
>>283 oh, that reminds me, I really found it interesting but my shit CPU is causing major control lag. so until I get a better computer, I can't play it ;_; still, thanks for the game! first random gift I've gotten.
>>283 Speaking of which, I have an extra copy of Dawn of War 2 that I'm willing to give away. If any Tohno-channers want it you're free to have it.
>>294 I'll probably wait for DOW2: Retribution.
>>294 I have dow2 already but I might know somebody who would want one.
I joined. I don't normally join stuff either!
Bumkp for members.
I joined.
CD???
>>851 what now?
Joined!
Why don't we play some games together? I'm sure we could organize something other than bitching about LoL all the time.
>>925 none of us have the confidence to organize it
You should get rid of the link to the .info board since it redirects here now
Id be more than willing to organize anything on steam. Especially game nights. I even have a vent that we all could use. You dont even have to talk on vent, just listen in. Also the steam group chatroom is a good place to hang out for vidya. The only problem i can see us run ing into is not everybody havong the same games, but i may be able to throw a few gifts out.
>>1014 I don't have vent and have no real desire to get it. I'd rather not talk/have people talk to me with voice.
i might be able to join, but not anytime soon. my only decent gaming computer needs to be reformatted, which is gonna take some time.
So what's the next big steam game everyone is playing? I just can't get into L4D anymore and I'm getting tired of TF2. I'm so bored ;_;
Well, we could play some Alien Swarm, at least everyone has that game. If you have a Source game there is also lots of mods we could play but I guess people are busy with their finals (including me) and/or watching animu to play any games right now.
Well I've been playing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Itsfree no nobody has to worry about being poor. "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free, stand-alone, downloadable multiplayer game in which players wage war as Axis or Allies in team-based combat. It's a team game; you will win or fall along with your comrades. The only way to complete the objectives that lead to victory is by cooperation, with each player covering their teammates and using their class special abilities in concert with the others." http://www.splashdamage.com/content/wolfenstein-enemy-territory-barracks?s=5286af7f9aca8888ef7fa983a3986ef2 just get it downloaded and patched and we can get some fun games going.
>>1031 i just installed it, when do we play?
>>1033 Since it saves your xp on a specific server I usually only play on one. http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/74.53.29.121:27960/ It's usually always full and its easy to add to your favorites list. My ingame name is Codine. I'll usually play whenever, just give a shoutout on irc.
Hey tohno finally made a steam account!
On the subject of steam I noticed there's a spot on profiles for screenshots, but it's a beta feature. Anyone know when that will be final? I want to finally have an outlet for my gmod screenshots
>>1172 You can opt-in the beta clients, just go to your settings and look under the "Beta Participation" section of the account tab. Not entirely sure how it works, but I'm guessing how it goes. And if you get it working, what's your account? I wanna see them. >>1036 I made him do so.
>>1305 I tried this the other day and apparently it only puts down screenshots you took after the screenshot thing started, so I uninstalled the beta. As for the screenshots, they're nothing really special (plus I've taken a lot less than I thought).
I'll join this in the future. I'll need some games first.
>>1307 You can still make an account even without any games, I think. Even so Steam has deals all the time so you'll probably find something cheap you'd enjoy soon enough.
>>1305 >what's your account? I sent you a friend request
>>1306 Oh, that sucks. Though being a public beta I'm sure there's an official feedback thread on the forums or something like that, maybe you could request the ability to upload your old screencaps since they're still in the game's screencap folder. But for now, how about uploading your gmod screenshots to photobucket and putting a link to the album in your steam profile? >>1308 You can, but seeing tohno go through it they don't like it if you just use it as a social thing since he couldn't really accept friend requests or whatnot until someone bought him a game. I personally don't know since I made my account after returning from the Best Buy with retail Orange Box.

What should you do when you are offered a gift by someone on steam? I heard you shouldn't accept it because the person could be using a stolen credit card or something which could get your account banned
>>1618 sounds like bullshit to me, unless you're knowningly particpating in the theft
So what games does everyone play? I'm hoping that one day we could all play something together.
>>1622 I've gotten pretty bored with all my multiplayer steam games (L4D, L4D2, and TF2) and have been spending most of my gaming time in the APB beta. I'm getting pretty sick of that too now though (though out of frustration rather than boredom). I'll be all over Portal 2 when it comes out though, then DNF after that.
>>1623 I'm actually really hoping some other people here get Portal 2, since playing with a brohno is probably the only way I'll get to see the co-op mode
Am I the only one who immediately searches through the member list when I see we have a new member? 58 now, by the way
wow, 58 for the steam group. only 17 in the mal group though.. and just 2 in the fig club. I wonder how many of the members are people who actually come here, and how many are people that joined just because...
>>1861 Im pretty sure most of us spend more time on games than on anime.
>>1862 yes it makes the user bass's priorities rather clear, that and showing why the game board is so much faster then the anime and figure boards.
>>1862 Or maybe it's because more people have steam accounts than MAL accounts. You don't need a MAL account to watch anime, but you do need a steam account to play PC games (well not exactly, but you get my point).
>>1862 It could also be due to the fact that you have to request to join the MAL group, whereas the Steam group is public. I know that's made me shy away from joining the MAL club, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's turned away a few others as well.
Secret club. Nobody we don't want in allowed in. Also you have to undergo an extremely painful hazing process if you wish to be initiated. Good luck little one.
>>1861 I get the feeling some people just want to be a member of as many groups as possible for some reason. As for me, the tohno group is the first and only steam group I've ever joined. I feel that comfortable with you guys... ;_;
>>1867 laterally half the people in the fig group are just there for that reason, people that don't come to the site and just want to join as many groups as they can.
>>1871 I'll never understand people with that mindset. Do they think people are going to look at their profile, see that they are a member of a thousand groups, and think "man that guy must be awesome!!"?
On one hand I don't like how the steam group never does anything together. On the other hand, even if I saw a big group playing L4D2 or something I would probably be too shy to join, especially if mics are involved.
>>1865 Wha, is making the MAL club public all I have to do to get more to join? Alright, sorry I didn't think the request thing would scare anyone away. I just was afraid that some random undesireable who doesn't even visit Tohno-chan would join and shit it up. Now I realize that'll probably never happen (and there's nothing to shit up anyway). So yeah, it's public now.
>>1898 cool I guess I may as well join
>>1861 Well, there is a certain stigma for MAL...
>>1898 Just to be clear, I wasn't complaining about it, and I can certainly understand the reasoning behind not having it public. I was just citing one possible reason for having so many fewer members than the Steam group. I figured I probably wouldn't really contribute anything to the club, and so having to request to join made me shy away. I mainly just join clubs so I can look at the member profiles with similar interests to me and occasionally read club comments/discussion, anyway. Anywho, joined.
So, what's the most played game in the steam group? I have some money and I was thinking of buying a game just so I can join here.
>>1953 From what I've seen nobody plays games together very much. I think a lot of us have L4D2 though
>>1955 Well, I'm not much of an online player myself, I just don't want to be left out in case we decide to play together someday.
>>1955 I'm almost afraid to play with people in the group because I don't like voice chat. It ruins my perception of people online, and I don't want that to happen with you guys
>>1956 then yeah I'd pick up L4D2 then, since that's an online game a lot of us have that requires the least amount of people to get a game going
>>1957 most of us also dislike voice chat, that's not something you really have to worry about.
>>1959 That's a relief then
I'd be up for L4D2, But I call Ellis. >>1959 Except for me. And no, do not hope that my mic breaks, since I have two. And while I'm posting on the steam thread, for some reason I can only send message and receive messages from people on my friends list now instead of when I could do it with the whole steam group. I'm trying to ask valve what the fuck is going on with my profile, but their ticketing system is fucked, so just /msg me on IRC in the meantime. If I'm not in the channel, I'm probably idling in the network. Â Though I know nobody talked to me in the first place...
>>1965 >Except for me. And no, do not hope that my mic breaks, since I have two. I probably wouldn't want to play with you then, no offense.
>>1967 None taken. Besides I usually feel awkward saying anything if nobody else is. If others are talking I will, but if not it'll only be if I don't have the time to type it out, like if I need to warn somebody about something. I might test the waters in the beginning of a round, but if I get nothing then I don't talk.
>>1977 Well in my case, I don't speak english very well, so you probably wouldn't understand anything I'm saying.
I have exactly 38 dollars left. You think I should buy the potato sack, or wait until portal 2 gets cheaper? How much could it take?
>>2026 I thought the potato thing was an april fools joke
>>2027 Nah, it's real, and really cheap too.
Is it just me or has steam been acting weird today? Sometimes it won't load images, other times it says people who clearly have a steam account don't, and right now it won't let me even look at my own profile.
>>2093 Yeah it disconnected for me today too, it did again when I checked recently.
Is there some sort of trick to making a steam av not have compression artifacts everywhere?
I am gonna cry now.
>>3483 facebook integration is in everything these days. I'll cry if it ever becomes mandatory
>>3485 If it's anything like the Google/Youtube setup I will burn.
>>3486 It's not, and never will be. The google/youtube account thing happened because google owns youtube
whats wrong with youtube/google and why are you hating on Facebook in a thread dedicated to using Steam as a social network?
>>3490 because hes a brohno and on tohno-chan and as time tends to infinity, the probability of a discussion becoming about normalpeople approaches 1
I propose changing the group avatar to this, because it is adorable and features the humble yukkuri, mascot of all things taking it easy
>>3509 Well I wanted to keep Minagi, since the site was named after her and all, but I guess Rostran beat me to it, so..... yeah. Though I am liking the vibe this pic is giving off.
I just noticed that there's an option to view group history. It's weird how there's people who join and then immediately leave after like 10 minutes
>>3579 Oh wow you're right. I guess I never really payed enough attention to notice. And it seems though natsume rostran and tohno had a bit of a profile edit spam on the 12~13th. I think I might send invites to everybody who was too scared to stay in the group~
Alpha Protocol is on sale for 5 bucks on steam, should I pick it up? I've been curious about it but I heard it's ridiculously bad so maybe not
>>3829 I got it because I heard it was good/unique. Haven't finished downloading it yet. Much more importantly, Fallout: New Vegas is $15, and the DLCs are $3 each. All of those are absolutely worth the price. I wish I had waited on buying Honest Hearts, as $10 was a bit much for it.
>>3830 Well, let me know how it is, assuming it's downloaded and you play it a bit before the sale is gone
I got a steam summer achievement for playing a demo, but I didn't. Cool I guess???
>>3844 I played a demo, but didn't get the achievement. You stole mine!!
>>3845
>>3844 I only downloaded a few megabytes(Hitman BM) and got the ticket Also I was a whore and created a FB account in the only purpose to get another ticket.Hope there are more free tickets.
>>3844 I've won battle in Warband and got achievement.
L4D2 is on sale for 5 bucks today, if you don't already have it
I've been wanting to replay Blood Money but because of the steam sale the servers are always too busy for me to redownload it ;_;Post edited on 10th Jul 2011, 12:53pm
Is anyone else having problems uploading screenshots?
>>3904 I've had that a few times where the caption was apparently too long, even though it was under the character limit. Not sure why though, it only seemed to happen once or twice. I've also before occasionally had problems with games not taking screenshots, though I suspect it's because I had turned off windows updates a couple months prior. Also on the topic of screenshots, how do you guys upload pics that aren't taken in-game? Do you just change the actual picture in the file folder before uploading?
