1) Go to Dynasty Net's java chat 2) Type in your nickname
3) dtoid-brawl as the channel
4) Click Chat
Simple and easy to use, if you want to use voice chat, I suggest steam or skype.
If you are having lag problems, check the Wii section of this guide.
Team Fortress 2
If you have not been coming out, you have no idea what you have been missing, machinema, rock paper scissors, pick-ups, and general shenanigans.
First plug – Eschatos made another steam group due to the other one being dead and locked. Its open to the public and we’ll be using it to post announcements for things like FNF, TFT, Machinema filming, and co-op nights among other things. Many of these are also being organized on the forums ScottyG was kind enough to set up, which leads me to…
Another plug for the forums! They are quite active and if you play TF2 on the server you should probably go make an account and post there, you can view them here.
Not sure how much I’ll be around tonight, going out for happy hour(s), depends highly on the level of drunk and the time we leave the bar.
Starship has been taken off rotation, you can still vote for it however. Still have not gotten around to doing spring cleaning on the map list, this will happen eventually.
I’ve also been seeing the server get very full very fast, while this is great, we can only have 24 people participating at any one time, so below I’ve listed an IP for an overflow server that a friend of mine runs. If the server is full, do the following…
1) Join the overflow server
2) Open the server browser menu, double click on the destructoid server and click ‘auto-retry’ and then click ‘join as soon as a slot is available’
3) Hit Esc to close the menus, this will allow you to continue to play TF2 with other dtoiders while you wait for a slot in the main server to open.
Again, if you would like to get placed on the reserved slot list for dtoid readers, please POST YOUR STEAMID HERE. Your reserved slot is a privilege, not a right, and asshattery will get it revoked.
Wow, what an awesome video. Well done.
I actually don't have to work on a Friday night (first time EVAR) so I'll be making my third appearance to a FNF tonight!
Why would someone play brawl with IRC when there is ventrilo?
I don't get it, you are playing with your hands already, and now you want to try and type too?
@Chee - So you can organize your own voice chat like Skype, where its nice and private or for people who don't have access to voice chat by your console.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I might be on at some point, depends on when people are showing up for our weekly shindig at my place. If I am it will be early.

Don't be afraid to speak guys, Christ.
Always a treat to enjoy TF2 exactly how Valve wanted us too. Over the top stupidity and jocularity!
console makes it easier ;) (at least for the lazy like me)
