This Pixlbit Steam Group Idea Is Pretty Fantastic

On 07/16/2013 at 03:16 PM by Ryan Bunting

So "sharky," or known around these parts as asrealasitgets, created a Steam Group for all of us here on Pixlbit, and I think it's a fantastic idea - it lets us all see what games everyone has, share some games that are worth playing and might have flown under the radar, and of course, play some coop/multiplayer games together!

You can join the Steam Group here, and be sure to introduce yourself in the discussion thread, and vote for games we should try and get and play together. This adds a whole new level of community integration, and as far as I know, is pretty much the first of its kind - at least the way it's being used here.

So join up, say hello, add some friends, and most of all, get gaming!

Thanks Ryan. I really dig your Youtube channel BTW. I know a lot of work goes into producing them, so kudos! Everyone should visit some time.

About the Steam group and coop... feel free to invite me to any of your games, if I have time I'll join, although I might suck at them. I haven't figured out what games people want to play yet, so for the time being I think we should just hit each other up and play whatever we got. I'm game for anything really, when I'm not playing MMOs.
My games:
Left 4 Dead 2
Chivalry - I'm horrible at this , but I like it
Doom 3 BFG
Border Lands 2 - (Pending) Waiting on sale
Magicka (Pending)
Torchlight 2
Diablo 3
Team Fortress 2
Warhammer 40K
BattleField 3

Also, I think you are an expert player so you should suggest multiplayer games for casual to hardcore!

Thanks! I'm glad you dig the show! We've got some new editing techniques and fun stuff we're implementing that should make it even more enjoyable :D

I'll be down to play later in the week. I'd like to play CSGO, but I'm not sure how it will run on my computer. I bought LFD2 yesterday when it was on sale though so I can play that too. I bought Chivalry as well but I've never played it before. I have Torchlight, but not on Steam. And I think that's it.

I also have a headset.

It's running on the Source Engine, so if you can play HL2 Episode 2, you can play this. It's meant to be played on lower end machines, so just lower the graphics options.

Good stuff! If you want to play CS:GO - perhaps tomorrow night/afternoon (4-5pm-ish EST), I can give you my Ventrilo info and we can do some scrims. If you're good, I'll keep you on board as our 5th :P
