Biggest problem with the FPSs is lag. How about everyone moves to Australia?

How about you move to the world ?

so if we're branching out from the half-life universe, i'd love to see a star wars jedi knight or battlefront deathmatch, but i'm not sure if you can play those games online anymore? <checking...>
might be fun to do a red alert 2 or yuri's revenge ladder as they are free to download and play online, but it lags a bit when you make more than 20 units =)

Battlefront would be awesome. I haven't played it in years though, and that was on Xbox. Luckily it's 50% off on Steam at the moment.

On the Star Wars theme, Battlefield 1942 is freeware now, idk if it will be permanantly, but it is currently. I hear there's a SICK star wars mod for it.
That could be a free alternative? It's much easier to get a whole community together if it doesn't involve spending cash, for our bros on budgets.
I think it's called Battlefield: Galactic Conquest and here is a hilariously small screenshot:
Wait, my bad, that's from the BF2142 version of the mod. I'll try to find a screenie, but the 1942 mod takes place in the same Hoth environment as far as I'm aware.
Here we go

How will we know who wins ?
We could go some TF2, LoL, any other free game, but lets not forget this is twhl so it should be something hl related.

I could bang out a quick Star Wars themed mod for HL?
It will consist of a box with a few weapons and 'Star Wars' spelled out with decals.
And we could maybe assign a points system. First place in each game gets 5 points, second place gets 4, and so on. At the end of it the person with the most points wins.

rufee, please vote again on the new one that will be up in a bit.

I think it was pretty obvious, but I guess I could have mentioned it.
Tell me what else you would have voted for and we will count it in.

I need a time, time-zone and date as I'm working right through from now till after new years, but its shift work so I can pull an all-nighter to join in.

Yeah, I have no idea when people expect this to happen. Should I create another poll for that too?
You know what, I'll just do it real quick.

Here is the poll for dates and time for the TWHL X-Mas Special
It's definitely not the best way to do this, but this is as sophisticated it gets without it being a poll that is outputted as HTML:
http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=50d3bc51e4b09e94ffe677e2
The intervals, in GMT, are morning - afternoon - evening/night.
This Saturday morning is left out as voting will still be going on by then.
I have tried to make the intervals make the most sense, although I know this won't be the case for people in different time zones.
The first week of January is included as I figured it would be better to have the x-mas special later than not at all.
Don't forget to vote on the games poll!

If only there was a program that all of our games were stored in, and we could like, add each other as friends in that program, or join some sort of TWHL group in said program. Then we could organize such an event through that group. If this hypothetical program had a list of free-to-play games, that'd be even better. We could even have two different, time-zone specific events in order to accommodate everyone since we live on different parts of the planet and have jobs 'n shit.

You know, you could have just said that without it being extremely offensive and arrogant. Hey, how about you said it a week ago or when I was suggesting the vote, then it might still have been relevant too?
And besides the fact that you didn't even bother to vote, your alternative doesn't offer any features much different from the thread you are currently in which is dedicated to discussing the event. So how about we do just that, right here - where the community actually is?

If CSGO wins, you can count me out. I don't have it and I don't think I'll ever buy it.

Post #311754
EDIT: Sorry, I think I confused you with cstriker? :S
It's not a single game that wins. I guess it will be something like any game with more than three votes or so will be played, I don't know though, but it's definitely not just CS:GO - I won't buy that either.

So since someone decided to screw with the poll, there is really not telling exactly how many unique votes the games got relative to each other. A few games do stand out, but you can obviously figure that out on your own.
I'm out of this event.

I think we all knew which two games were going to get the most votes anyway; Half-Life and CS: GO.
