Just a friendly reminder: A bunch of Bitmob staffers and community members will be hopping online in a bit to play some Team Fortress 2 (PC).
A quick email poll shows that 99% of the Bitmob staff will be a little late, but we'll be trickling in throughout tonight's session.
The official details:
Tonight: 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST start (via Steam)
Add your online ID here, or join the Bitmob Steam group.
That's about it. Look for Jay Henningsen, Rich McGrath, Ryan Rubis, James DeRosa, Mike Minotti, and hopefully a few more of us from the staff side. Here is the original post if you want to check the comments to see who else is coming.

Davneet, can we take you up on that server offer? Can you coordinate with Mike?
I can't make it, unfortunately...TF2 keeps crashing on me about 15 seconds into a game. Working on it, but I don't think it'll be fixed in time.

An event? Like...an earthquake or a bright light from the sky? No, sorry...nothing like that. But otherwise, I think you'll just want to look for those guys in the Bitmob Steam group and join them.
I've never done it before, though...maybe some more experienced Steam/PC gamers can advise?

Ah Mr. Hsu, neither sarcasm nor ignorance impresses me. I take no pleasure in you applying one or the other to me. I meant a Steam Event (sends everyone in the StreamGroup a message when the games starting) and it seems someone has heeded my advice. Hope my ping holds up.
Yeah we need to decide on a server... unless we are all content being randomly dispersed amongst the TF2 ether. You don't "create" games/sessions in TF2.
I just played...its kinda nice. And one sided, but nice. Gonna go and finish stinking up the joint in Brutal Legend...hopefully you guys will be on when I'm done.
After a few games, I realized that I just wasn't having fun at all. Maybe if the games weren't so obviously imbalanced, it would have been better.
Sorry... the random server I chose didn't have a !scramble command to rebalance the teams like most servers.
@Demian - Sorry, I didn't see your message here until after I left the server. Regardless, it was fun, if a little one-sided like everyone is saying.
You can definitely take me up on the server offer the next time we play TF2!

Man, I need to actually go to some of these game nights, I feel like I miss out on stuff, but until my 360 is fixed and my PC is transformed into awesomeness, I can only play PS3 games.
I was in there at the beginning after a couple of false starts. I logged off to fix my mic and have a cigarette only never to be able to get in again. Oh well, maybe net time.
Spencer - The teams were mixed. I personally got about 6 kills and died about 30 times. Davneet, in particular, dominated me at least once. It wasn't a good ratio for me, but it was still fun playing with a bunch of names I recognized.
I was flareon if anyone was wondering. I was playing till it got to the custom map. Feel free to add me on steam.
I took screenshots of the scoreboards for the later maps (Goldrush and Dustbowl):

You can see how unbalanced the teams were, though it seemed to work out in my favor for the most part.
In the future, a private server, regardless of the game, will definitely help in maintaining balanced teams and a good map rotation. Again, sorry for not taking care of that last night.
