PS3 version anyone?

*looking around*

:cry: 

Here's my pre-write up:

It's post E3 and this week's Game Night is Team Fortress 2. Don't have the game? Well go out and rent it! If you do have the game, you might want to go back and see if you're still good at the Scout class. Because you're not just going against the users, GS staff will be on deck. *Imagines wacking Ryan Mcdonald in the back of the head with a baseball bat*

We might be able to use WeGame.com's server.

I'll ask for permission.

I'll try and be there on the PC.

By the way, how do you post a bulletin on the Union page?

Last time I checked the Orange Box was twenty dollars.  I might pick it up for the PS3 because Xbox Live will be down next Tuesday.Moroes

Yes, do that please.

All right.

Jeff Gorndt, community manager at WeGame, said it's okay for us to use their TF2 server. It's a 32 man server.

I'll post the server info nearer to the day of the game night.

The server is located in San Francisco or Los Angeles.
