Guest_Jim_* Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 So if we do go with a ventrilo where would you guys like it located? I think most of us are in the US, but I can setup a poll for it, if you want. Just list the choices and I'll put it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbaxm2 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Welll most usually end up in Chicago due to the fact that it is somewhat central. But I mean we could do NY or Dallas also. Mine is is in Chicago and I have people on it from Poland and Denmark that have no ping issues. Don't think we need a poll for it as long as no one objects to Chicago.

BluePanda Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Hey I'm still game to play about anything... guess I don't own too many multi player games -- you can always send me a copy (haha JK JK) but yea... I haven't played L4D in for ever -- seems a lot harder than I remember it being, but I've got borderlands and TF2 (not that I've ever played it) but you can find all my games on my profile obviously. Should be on the OCC members list already, if you can't find me PM me, Steam has apparently made me hard to find even after making my profile public. lol.

Any time you see me in Steam, like now, I'll be willing to play Borderlands and/or Left for Dead 1 & 2 (I only have L4D2 installed right now, but it should only take a few minutes to put the first on, since I have it backed up).

Bubbaxm2 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Ok well I know that steam is winning the voice chat poll, but I am wondering if that is because people are not familuar with vent? I mean I have used just about every voice chat program out there and setting up and using vent is very simple and is so much easier to get things moving when you want to just hop on and play a game. No need to invite people to a chat or anything, just hop on and get your game on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjrmy Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I'm cool with Vent or Steam. But it's less to download since you don't have to download Steam since you already have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to invite people to a chat or anything, just hop on and get your game on. That is very possible, but having a non-steam option is a good idea, for those that don't have Steam (are there any of you reading this?) and for non-Steam games that you don't open through Steam.

No need to invite people to a chat or anything, just hop on and get your game on. I've used Vent once, and I personally like to use steam more. The way vent works is kind of like how some of us use the OCC IRC, we just keep that window open all the time and idle until somebody says something and then a conversation may start, that's my understanding of how vent works. The problem is, you're going to find a lot of people on OCC, and especially a good number of people in this thread, don't like to hang out in these kind of things. Another thing about use the OCC Steam Group chatroom is that a person can keep that open all the time probably, and it won't really cause that much of a problem to them since they can just put it on a tab on the steam chat window, I think because of that it's a little easier to idle in perhaps, but again, a lot of folks here really don't like to idle in chats. Right now I have the steam group open and I noticed there has been a couple joiners in it, but they didn't seem to stick around too long. Also I know some of you have to log off steam at some point too, I'm not trying to imply there are no reasons for why a person couldn't idle in the chatroom, plenty of people probably have good reasons for why they can't. Personally, I've voted for steam because I keep it open all the time, I have space on my desktop dedicated to the Friends List and Chat Window. However if we did end up using vent then I think I could probably use that a little better maybe because then I will be able to use a mic, where as with steam I would be limited to text. I kind of agree with you though, I think some here are voting steam because it's something almost everyone already has and already knows, where as vent might be a little intimidating for some that haven't use it. I think a solution to this could be just to let everyone try it out real quick on an already setup vent server and see if they like it, some people might change their mind if they try it out. Sorry for so many words for those of you that are all like "TLDR". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for so many words for those of you that are all like "TLDR". I'm in it now. I joined but left because I know you guys idle and nobody talks. I'd stay if people were talking. Same with the IRC.

danieljury3 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Just jumped in the chat for a couple of seconds to see death in there. Didn't really even know that type of chat was even there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
