There is the penny arcade ventrilo server, which we could use.

 

[Majist]

do you need the client program or the server program or both?

 

[Sensai]

If we're talking Vent and we already have a server (which apparently we do, since there seem to be about 4 of them), all you need is the client, NOT the server.

 

[SK8orDIE]

I'm gonna try connecting to the Penny Arcade vent server, since that's a pretty major site. I'm sure they will like having more users and potential donors as well. The PA Vent forum says that to obtain server connection info, you must contact one of the officers. It also says not to distribute this info to non-PAA members, which means we ought to join Penny Arcade (should be just as easy as setting up any other account). I guess PM Munkus for server info, because that's what I'm doing. I just hope they have the voice quality dialed down to minimize bandwidth usage.

Oh, and all you need to run Vent is the client-side software. Download it, install, and connect to the server of your choosing, assuming you have obtained the proper info.

 

[munkus beaver]

Aye. Don't download the server, just the client.

Oh uh that. The PA:A is a series of wow guilds which has no affiliation with me. I meant the Penny Arcade forum vent servers, which are funded and run by Penny Arcade Forumers. The information for it is stickied in a thread in the Games & Technology section of the PA forums.

So what's going on this weekend in the wonderful world of Smash? I want to play somebody (in real life).

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Yea i wanna play someone in real life too... but i cant so yea...

 

[j00t]

You always have online. That's what everyone else is using.

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Yea i know but the online is gay anyways. I dont want button lagg i want no lagg.

 

[j00t]

You were telling us before Brawl came out how you couldn't wait for it because you'd finally be able to play us. And look at how good moogle got from playing 64 (As he's already said). Beggars can't be choosers, man.

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Yea i understand that, but i dint expect it to be like this online. Hell when i bought Mario Strikers for the Wii and played it online there was no lagg what so ever. Anyways ill shut my mouth because complaining like this will get me no where. Like i said ill still play online but its not ganna get me better.... in my opinion.

 

[theONEjanitor]

i'm always down.

 

[munkus beaver]

Tarnish, I have orange lag when playing you. That's pretty bad. Have you opened up your ports for your wii?

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Normally i dont have too. My router allows everything to work properly, besides you have yellow connection on my side. Also on a side note metaknight seems to work out really good online cause his moves come out real fast, and his Side B move is completely gay .

 

[Sensai]

Tarnish: what you want to do is change the router's wireless channel from 6 to either 1 or 11. That should speed things up.

Also, I saw somewhere on the boards another DNS that you could change the Wii to work with that allegedly sped things up....worth giving it a quick search if you're interested.

Olimar is officially my man. Change me to an Olimar main, please. Um...no secondary, really.

 

[munkus beaver]

Good games JWT. I'm signing off because I'm far far too tired to continue. I think we had a good connection, though.

The lag was balls. I was weeping when I was doing my lag taunt and you just kept on dash attacking me.

Thx for the info on the wireless way to go, but i dont use wireless.. i use the LAN adapter cause running through wired is always faster.

 

[munkus beaver]

You taunt, you pay!

 

[theONEjanitor]

ay george or midguy hit me up if yall smash today.

 

[Sensai]

Tarnish: Oh. That's weird. It should be pretty speedy...

 

[[_-T4RN1SH-_]]

Well you would think that but my internet has been ****ing up lately and were switching from DSL to Comcast soon so that might fix it. Other then that it also varies on the other person's connection to. So one person having a good connection means nothing for Brawl, like i keep saying the online for Brawl is garbage right now. Nintendo has alot to learn about online before it becomes good, and for the people who use wireless well... its ganna make it worse to host cause of wireless being not that good and all.

i see homer simpson, batman? and phoenix wright. i don't know who the rest are

Ha ha. Coach and Moogle recently switched in the opposite direction. I'm sure they cringe upon reading your words. But trying this couldn't hurt.

Switching to Comcast might make it worse depending on the subscription rate in your area. With cable, you share bandwidth with the other neighbors in your hub. With DSL, your quality of service is more a function of distance from the weigh station. Also, both services are prone to throttling which will limit your actual quality of experience.

A friend and I did a traceroute and found that for him to connect to me, his Knology connection routed the packets from his house in Madison, to Memphis, to Atlanta before switching over to Comcast's network and routing the packets back to me. I'm not sure that the routing is that complex if you both have the same ISP. Either way, we should all try to make friends in Atlanta because one of the major network backbones in the southeast seems to be there.

@ Midguy: Good games, man. I like how you changed your slogan to "ROB WAIT ONE MIN" when we were trying to coordinate matches. Funny stuff.

 

[Majist]

^^it's interesting that you say that. every georgian that i've played online has has a flawless connection.

i don't know much at all about wireless routers. how do i set the channel from 6 to 1/11? i don't know how to open the ports either... i'm a n00b, i'm sorry.

oh, and f uck meta knight. just throwing that out there. i am either going to figure out a way to beat him, or i'm going to stop playing once he's selected. i can never win. he's broken beyond broken.

edit: i'm already a member of PA, too. all of you guys should join

 

[theONEjanitor]

just learn to space against metaknight. and don't try to override any of his attacks because it won't work. his swords have priority over everything even so called high-priority moves. and don't try to shield grab him, that doesn't work much either.

btwizzle i should have my brawl friend code in a matter of hours

btwizzle parte dos: moogle take lucas and marth off my characters and add jigglypuff and olimar

 

[SK8orDIE]

Yeah, I'm so used to shield grabbing people. I don't enjoy fighting MetaKnight either, because he can punish both rolling and shield grabbing, but I keep trying. And Snake's startup lags don't help. Then again, I look forward to trying shield-dropped grenades on his provocations.

@Majist: The router doesn't have a direct interface. You have to access it from your computer's web browser. Go to http://192.168.1.1 and follow your router's login instructions. From there, you can do all this stuff, but proceed with caution. Usually there will be a wireless tab with a drop-down menu with a list of channels (or frequency ranges). Note the default setting and select a different one and then do the same for all devices that connect to the router wirelessly (Wii, laptop, etc.) Call me if you get stuck.

 

[theONEjanitor]

okay i've got my brawl code. Should be over to the left.

my and my roomate share this for now...my roomates tag is LOKI? so i donno how this works yet, but if you see that, thats us. i'll be T1J

i completely agree with everything you said, but it goes so much farther than that. i can't punish MK for ANYTHING. if he misses say, a dsmash, i can't grab or do anything before he'll dsmash me again. if i shield against it, it'll push me back out of grab range, but not far enough to where he can't hit me again. every one of his attacks are nothing but instant. i can counter his upB, but unless i'm at the top of the attack, the counter won't hit him (i'm referring to using Ike against him). urgh. everything he does is spammable. i hate MK with a passion. i haven't found anything i can do that will consistently work against him.

thanks for the help dude

 

[theONEjanitor]

i dunno if anyone's tried to add me yet. but the original friend code i had was wrong. its correct now.

 

[theONEjanitor]

wtfs the deal with yoshi's egg roll
in melee all you had to do was hit him out of it. now almost all attacks just clank with it. are we gonna have to start banning FD against yoshis?

 

[theONEjanitor]

everyone add my friend code
it will say LOKI? for my name.
it'll either be me on my roomie. i'll change my tag to t1j when its me

Hm...I may show up at that Memphis tourney. I'm getting tired of playing the same people here (no offense Bloshi, but you know my roommates).

Anyone else plannin' on going?

 

[theONEjanitor]

i will go if someone takes me. or if i have a car by then, which is doubtful

 

[j00t]

God. It's on my dad's birthday.... ugh.... sorry, but I won't be making it to that one.

 

[Majist]

Janitor, i'm adding you right now, sorry it took me so long

Moogle, please add DK and Wario to my secondary list. DK is frickin amazing! And it turns out that Wario is a great counter to meta knight i hope i'm doing you proud Rob!

J00t, i'm gonna want to get some Wario training with you sometime.

 

[j00t]

Wait, Wario counters Metaknight? I wanna know how you came to this deduction.
