Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 256MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

If you're wondering if your computer can handle any of these games, please refer to the 'Can You Run It' site. It should give you an idea as to your system specs, and what they can do. It's not 100% accurate, though it should give you a baseline.

Other Info:
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (HL2DM) can be downloaded from Steam with a valid account for free supposing the user is on a computer with an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card. If you are unsure of your graphics card manufacturer, you can use the free utility GPU-Z to determine if you qualify for the offer.
[ ATI Steam Offer :: NVIDIA Steam Offer ]

We now have an official Steam community page. Join it to keep up to date on the current weekly event.

The mod chosen is GoldenEye Source (GE:S). Please go to http://www.goldeneyesource.net/ for more information, and for the client download. Use the guide found here for the installation process. From my experience, just run the client .exe file, and it should install. Restart Steam (I'd begin the process with Steam off, then start the program after the installation), and try to launch GE:S. You'll (probably) be unsuccessful, and it will say you need to download the SDK. It should begin to download automatically. Once finished, you should have a working copy of GE:S.

http://rsbb.ca/t74317 is the unique short url for this topic.

If you don't want to wait on map downloads the night of the game, get your maps early from the links provided below. If you do not wish to download these separately, no worries. The Rsbandb PC Gaming server has a fast download for all maps, ensuring that even if you don't pre-download maps, you'll get them quickly if the server contains a map you don't have. Follow Shane's instructions below to make use of these downloads.
[ HL2:DM Map Pack 1 :: HL2:DM Map Pack 2 :: Complete HL2:DM Map Pack August 2010 :: Complete CSS:GG Map Pack + extras May 2010 ]

Note: You can download individual maps from the HL2DM server and put them in their correct folders by going to the HL2DM server with your browser.

If you'd like to submit a map for us to play, please PM the map info (preferably with a download link) to Mike or Shane.

Updates
8/30/10 - This weeks' game will be CSS
9/6/10 - This weeks' game will be HL2:DM
Outdated information


You must have a PC with Half Life 2 DM installed.

Please read and comment regarding the possibility of adding a new mod to the game choices. The post in this topic is found here. The polling will end on, or before Sunday, November 13th. Please vote and post before then to let your opinion be heard.

Starting 2-15-10:
Looks like we're moving the day, but not the time at this point.

Next week (2-15-10) we'll be starting PC-Gaming on Monday at the same times we currently have (6PM PST, 8PM CST, 9PM EST, 2AM UTC/England)

Time looks like it probably won't get changed. It's just too much of an issue with North America, moving back a few hours interfered with nearly everyone's dinner schedules, and later usually isn't an option seeing as it won't help anyone.


Until further notice, we're playing Counter-Strike: Source, with the GunGame mod. Same server information, just look up the IP under your Favorites tab, and add the appropriate servers.

Come play Half Life 2: Death Match (HL2:DM) with all of your friends from Rsbandb! Have a problem with someone? Try shooting them in the head! If you've wanted to test out your PC gaming skills, you'll be right at home ;)
NOTE - For the week of Aug 26th, this event will be replaced by CS:S - Gun Game. Please check the other topic for details.
***As a special thing this week, the 'winner' will get a Guest Pass to Madballs in.. Babo Invasion. I got the game a few weeks back, and got a guest pass... So I've gotta get rid of it before the 19th!***

Also, congrats to our first PC Gaming 'Winner', Directxfire! You will recieve a guest pass to Madballs in.. Babo Invasion. Please be sure to add Pfkninenines on Steam to receive the guest pass. If you do not want the guest pass, you may pick who you'd like me to send it to.

Also, one last Humble Indie Bundle will be given away.

Since you can't buy guest passes to any game, I can't say we'll always have (or even often have) a prize. But, I have recently come into a few codes for a 6 pack of games. They're Windows, Mac, and Linux, so literally anyone use them. I've got 4 unique codes, so we'll have to determine who gets them. They're not through Steam, though, and that's the only downside. At any rate, I've currently got around 5 codes to give away. More news as to when/how they'll be distributed to come.

I have some maps for you all to download. Make sure you have them before you come to the server as it will greatly speed things up ;)

Download the maps here: http://events.rsbandb.com/rsbandb_maps_1.zip

You will then want to extract them into your maps folder. This is usually located at: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[your username]\half-life2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps

Please note the actual bsp files must be in this folder. The simplest way to accomplish this is to just open the zip file using Windows Explorer and drag the contents to your map folder.

Had a low turnout for the first event, what gives guys? Would anyone be more likely to show up if it was a Team Fortress 2 event instead? I know there are people here with TF2 installed, so there isn't any reason to suggest it's too expensive.

If you'd show up in a few weeks, but you didn't this time, could you please say why?

I attended the inaugural event a few months back, but I don't think I'll attend religiously, for the main reason, as Pfkninenines stated, that I'm just too wrapped up in Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead. We do need to do a TF2 event, if it's an issue of a server you can borrow mine...

Servers, we can handle ;).

Contemplating moving the time back a few hours, and potentially the game if people just don't like HL2:DM. Please feel free to keep giving your opinions, after all these events get quite boring with just a few people ;)

I wouldn't mind it being a different day, especially during the summer. The only problem I have is during the school year since I usually have exams Thursday nights. The event tends to be after any exam would end, so it tends to have worked out.

If moving it to Wednesday would help, that'd be fine by me. This summer I'm taking a course and I have exams every Friday... Needless to say, Thursdays aren't great for me anymore.

Not really. Unless people are consistently in there, it will be empty.

Anyone else in favor of moving the event to Wednesday?

If you haven't heard of it, why bother spamming in the thread? Download it, it's free if you qualify with your graphics card.

Nobody showed up for the TF2 events. We had a good turnout the first week because a ton of other people not from BNB joined. If people want a certain event, they actually need to show up for it. We went back to HL2:DM because we always got a better turnout, and it's free for nearly everyone who wants to play.

Point of the matter is, don't ask for it if you aren't going to show up.
