Spent about 15 minutes in practice mode. Seems fun!

I think it would be a blast 4 player. We should try to get everyone on for some games.

Say Wed and/or Thurs around 8 pm?

I just downloaded it, assuming my computer isn't too shitty I'm in.

I may or may not be online - my hard drive took a bit of a crash. Trying to procure a new one, and hoping that it's only my HD that is having issues.

Really fun so far. Some of the missions can be brutal. If you get surrounded or infested, you're pretty much done for. Ammo can be a big problem if you're trigger happy.

So confirming tonight. Haro, Wyzt, me. Alien Swarm 8pm.

Post if you'd rather do it tomorrow, but I'm probably going to be playing either way to get the hang of it, as this will be my first experience using Steam Multiplayer.

I could use some help setting up. Is there a chat system or headsets like XBox Live?

Should I connect my XBox headset to my Hori stick to my laptop? That sucks, but I'll do it.

How are we going to find each other? My sn is compacta_d as always. It's never taken.

Does this look infected to you? I've been picking at it.

I need answers to these questions. Also confirm so I'm not figuratively sitting in a dark room by myself.

I'm going to be working out tonight. So prob cant make it. Been on a pretty tight schedule for the past couple weeks.

I'll check to see if you guys are playing tonight. Never played multiplayer on steam before.

We've got a Steam group page. I have sent you guys group invites. Once accepted, you will be able to see everyone in your friends list and whether they are online and if they are playing anything. It basically works like an internal instant messaging service.

There is in-game messaging and voice chat. Headphone/speaker set would be ideal, but not required. I type out of habit a lot.
