ttlg down

[BEAR]

Is ttlg down for everyone else? It went down last night it seems and there has been no annoucement in IRC and even the host of the temporary forums is down.

 

downforeveryoneorjustme.com doesn't even register the domain name :-/

[greebo]

Nope, works fine for me.

[Komag]

It just recently came back up, was down for a day

[greebo]

I guess that reveals how often I open the TTLG website. Mustn't have checked the site in days/weeks.

 

There's not much that is of interest for me there anymore, but that is partially due of the fact that I didn't play a fan mission for at least one or two years or so.

Plus you have TDM to work with now

You're devoting so much time to a FM-construction toolset and haven't played a FM in years?

lol, I gather a lot of your commitment comes from just making the thing itself ...

 

 

ps, you really ought to play a few recent ones, though ... Broken Triad, 7 Sisters, and Mission X, if only because they've been so brilliant.

I'm an indie game developer, and I only just got around to playing Half-Life 2 in the last month or so. Almost four years since it came out.

 

The only retail games I've played this year that I can remember have been Prey, Portal, and HL2.

 

...yeah.

Actually, I'm not feeling I'm missing anything. I have warm memories about playing CL or Frobber's campaign, but it's much much more satisfying to create things for yourself. That's probably similar to DromEders not playing too much fan-missions themselves, only stronger. Coding or mapping on TDM is a terribly creative process and I like challenging my mind. Then again, there's times you ask yourself why you should waste your time on that thing at all, because it can be so frustrating. Say it with Iron Maiden: there's a thin line between love and hate.

 

And I don't have much freetime these days either - choosing between playing an FM or working on TDM is a clean either-or decision.

 

That being said, I did play a co-op Empire Earth a few weeks ago and we played through Baldur's Gate II in spring. That's about it.

[SneaksieDave]

Seems down again, for me at least.

[Springheel]

It was up most of the day but I haven't been able to connect since a half our ago.

[Macsen]

There's some down time while they rebrand to 77LG, in accordance with Thief's new leet makeover, and move to a new address.

[Subjective Effect]

May be overloaded at the moment. Eidos forums are on fire post-announcement but TTLG's Thief Gen was already heading towards mental for the last 24 hours.

[demagogue]

Yeah, I didn't think it was a coincidence.

It's too bad because it's such awful timing for it to be down.
