Natural Selection 2 Bi-weekly meetups

best_jeppe 2016-07-27 16:03:44 UTC #41

I would as usual want to thank everyone whom turned for this week session. A few new faces…or voices really that I hope will join us for future events. From my perspective it started out pretty weak but finished strong so I came away on a positive note Also, the very first game we played I forgot to stream but from match 2 I started to stream and that is what is listed below.

Game 1, starts at about 3 min and 20 sec: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/80247760

Game 2, starts at about 3min and 50 sec: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/80247916

Game 3, this Highlight is currently just showing up black at the moment of this typing. If the problem persists let me know. Anyway this was the only proper game this evening in my opinion, starts at roughly 5 minutes: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/80248065

The next event will be at Monday August 8th at 20.00 CEST (18.00 UTC).

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely, Jesper

We had a focused turn up last time and even though we started off with 2 bot-matches I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Feelt good to play again from, involentairly, have missed the last session. Here follows the matches from the evening. In my opinion the only real interesting one was match 3 and 4 since they were proper games.

Match 1, hard to tell when this starts exactly because its a bot-match but I start commanding at roughly 11 min and 50 sec: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/90975193

Match 2, starts at roughly 4 min and 15 sec: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/90976036

Match 3, the first proper game and it starts at roughly 3 min and 30 sec:https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/90976706

Match 4, the second proper and last match for the evening. It starts at roughly 4 min and 40 sec:https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/90977252

Unfourtunately these events have been in a bit of a slump recently for which I take a huge part of the blame. But I intend to restore these events to their former glory with our glorious return set at Monday October 3rd at 20.00 CEST (18.00 UTC). Be sure to be there!

Sincerely, Jesper

Krathor 2016-09-24 18:29:09 UTC #45

Great stuff Jesper - thanks for continuing to host these.

Infuriatingly, Steam does not allow me to set up recurring events in group calendars, which is very annoying. However, I have set an event for 3rd October. Hopefully it’ll attract some folks.

best_jeppe 2016-10-16 09:21:35 UTC #46

A late Thank you for that Krathor!

So I am apparently growing senile at the age of 30 since I keep forgetting to post this announcement in a timely manner. Time to schedule an appointment at the doctor!

Anyway, the next gathering for NS2 extravaganza will be tomorrow Monday October 17th at 20.00 CEST (18.00 UTC) as usual.

For you whom didn’t partake last time you can watch it here. I would go directly for the 5th game though.

Game 1, started streaming midway through: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/95278452

Game 2, As the non-good sport I am I would say that the teams were a bit lopsided with the marine team having significantly higher “skill”-level compared to us on the Alien teams which made it quite hard, the game starts at 4 min and 37 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/95278757

Game 3, Same problem as in the previous game but now its getting a bit ridiculous, Game starts at 2 min and 35 sec: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/95278935

Game 4, this game is so short that I wont even bother typing the timing out: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/95279150

Game 5, The last game of the evening and the first proper (second if you count the first game) game in my opinion, the game starts at 4 min: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/95279436

There you have it. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Sincerely, Jesper

So I had totally written up the Reminder this past Thursday and was just about to post it when I heard someone calling my name. Like the attention needing person I am I instantly left my computer to seek out the person whom needed me. Turns out I just was hallucinating. In any case, when I got back the neighbours dog had just deleted my Reminder-announcement and then I got amnesia from which I just recovered…So yeah. There you have it. Crazy huh?

In any case, tomorrow October 31th at 20.00 CEST (18.00 UTC) we will again embark on the great ride for battle which, if we are deemed worthy, will grant us access to Valhalla!

What happened the last game we played I hear you ask. Well here you go:

The first game of that evening starts at about 2 minutes and 15 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/98055767

The second game of the evening where we switched server and I had some trouble getting in to it. I started playing at about 2 minutes and 57 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/98056225

The third game of the evening with me as commander starts at about 6 minutes and 45 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/98056695

The fourth game of the evening starts at about 6 minutes and 3 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/98057378

And the fifth and final game of the evening starts at 4 minutes and 57 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/98057870

Also, you might not know this but NS2 have had a Free Weekend this weekend so hopefully there will have been some influx of new players In any case I hope to see you on the Battlefield tomorrow with your shiniest Rifle/Claws ready!

Sincerely, Jesper

best_jeppe 2016-11-13 10:30:32 UTC #48

Tomorrow Monday November 14th at 20.00 CET (19.00 UTC) you will hopefully play NS2 as usual. I am not sure if I will participate or not. Its my birthday tomorrow you see so it depends on how the evening turns out but for now you can assume that I will NOT play. Here is last sessions games in any case:

Game 1, I think we joined midway through or something: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/100808834

Game 2, game starts at 3 minutes and 38 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/100809017

Game 3, game starts at 2 minutes and 37 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/best_jeppe/v/100809496

I hope you have a blast tomorrow if you play

Sincerely, Jesper

Krathor 2017-02-04 20:16:00 UTC #53

Great stuff Jesper.

Event notification is up in the Steam group for Monday.

Davkaus 2017-02-06 12:12:01 UTC #54

I don’t suppose you have any other new/returning players? I was pretty bloody bad when I used to play this lots, I’m not sure my ego could handle being the only person re-learning the game.

KwisatzHaderach 2017-02-06 18:32:47 UTC #55

Oh hey, Davkaus! I think most people that play nowadays are seasoned players. But during our bi-weekly matches the skill is always mixed and the game is mostly fun to play. I’m sure you’ll be fine!

best_jeppe 2017-02-14 11:27:56 UTC #56

So finally I am sending out this reminder well in advance so people should be able to see it and plan for the event properly. Because you wouldn’t miss it for your life, right? Anyway, first I would like to thank everyone who showed up during the last event. It was a lot of fun The next event will this Monday February 20th at 20.00CET (19.00UTC) as usual. I hope I can see you there.

Here are the matches from the last event.

Game 1, which was quite lenghty but enjoyable: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/122029867

Game 2, not quite as long but still sizeable. It starts at about 5 minutes and 48 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/122030165

Game 3, the third and final game of the evening. In this last one there was only 2 of us (because everyone else were weak and couldn’t muster anymore apparently ) and unfortunately the hive balancing placed us in opposite teams. The match starts at about 9 minutes and 52 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/122030287

I hope to see you on monday!

Sincerely, Jesper

KwisatzHaderach 2017-02-16 19:58:17 UTC #57

Ye, that first game was very enjoyable!

Thanks for the vids jeppe! You seem to have a strange echo effect in the recording of the first game. Audio seems to repeat in a lower volume after a couple of seconds. Maybe it’s just my computer though. Or my brain…

best_jeppe 2017-02-18 13:43:20 UTC #58

No your computer and your brain is working correctly…or at least the audio processing of your brain works What happened was that I had a browser open with my Twitch stream running and I forgot to mute it. So OBS recorded the sound of the stream itself from Twitch producing an echo of sorts. I realized it after a few minutes and fixed it though.

best_jeppe 2017-03-05 20:52:57 UTC #59

Welcome to the extremely timely reminder that we will play NS2…whats that? I am reminding late? I beg you pardon! I am extremely timely and sending notice well ahead of the event that will take place on Monday March 6th at 20.00 CET (19.00UTC), thank you very much! Obviously you must have gotten a bit senile and not remembered that you have read this way before…like 2 da…4 da…1 WEEK ago! There, thats that.

Now, I would like to thank everyone that participated last time and hope to see you this upcoming Monday and for thoose of you in the future that is tomorrow. In the mean time you can jog your memory (or pitty my suffering) from the last time

Game 1, which was a short one: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/126677587

Game 2, if the former was a short one this was definitely a long one. The game starts at about 2 minutes and 57 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/126678067

Game 3, and to close the evening out we got a game that was almost right down the middle. This one starts at about 3 minutes and 51 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/126678591

I hope to see you all tomo…I mean 1 week from now which will be tomorrow for you future readers

Sincerely, Jesper

best_jeppe 2017-03-19 20:39:29 UTC #60

So tomorrow (Monday March 20th at 20.00CET (19.00UTC)) we will again play NS2 as by the new law laid out by the RPS-players which follows: Though shall play NS2 every monday! [unless you really doesnt want to].

Since I for some couch-potato reason didn’t post the previous matches previous to the previous game session you get 2 for 1 in this announcement!

So first, March 6th:

Game 1, with me as commander and this was a long one: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129839441

Game 2, again with me as commander AND (if I am not mistaken) our own Carter a.k.a. TheDR as commander for the marine team and this was as equally long as the first one. Battle of the ages! Also, none of us had play this map before as far as I know. This was the last game of the evening Starts at about 4 minutes and 11 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129841263

March 13th:

Game 1, I don’t fully remember why I didnt start recording at the beginning of the match but if my memory kind of serves me correct it was because it started out as a bot-match and then slowly converted to a player-match and thus I forgot to start to stream it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129843814

Game 2, was a pretty short match and it starts at about 3 minutes and 58 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129845050

Game 3, the last game of the evening and I must say that the commander (which was the same as the previous match) annoyed me a fair deal. He just had a passive aggressive attitude that rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t know, maybe I am to sensitive. Judge for yourself The game starts at about 48 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129845415

And that is that…until tomorrow that is where I hope to see you guys

Sincerely, Jesper
