Not a clue. In game, the SubSPUF Guild chat should be fine, or for Mumble, MLM is probably where to go (although I can't listen to multiple things at once, so I'll probably not be there.) Otherwise, I dunno, open a multi-user Steam chat. Also hope these technical issues get ironed out fast. It's bad when someone goes from inaudible to echoing, bah. (Yet I'll admit, Robo-Tobi is pretty funny.)

Skye has connected to the game. Skye has blown your cover because he tripped over a plant and accidentally punched the bank clerk. Skye has disconnected from the game. i am not very good at this game

Testing textlogs. They're hard to write while feeling genuine. I feel I got it right here, though. Also some theorycrafting for if I take Pests (my bug homebrew) in a modern day setting (which could be a splat, who knows.) [spoiler2][[RHarrison OPENED CORRESPONDENCE WITH AMillton ON SRDPriNet AT 05/17/2033 10:14AM]] --Please follow the SRD code of conduct; failure to do so will result in managerial intervention. Virtual communications may be monitored for internal security.-- RHarrison: Hey Alice was the new specimen transfer for Thursday or Friday RHarrison: Michael told me Thursday but he was wrong last month RHarrison: I told him not to wipe the schedule off the blackboard > AMillton: Hang on, let me check. RHarrison: Ok AMillton: I have the next one scheduled for Thursday morning. RHarrison: Thanks RHarrison: Hope it does better than the last one AMillton: Are we really going through specimens this quickly? RHarrison: Yeah poor thing couldnt make it through the language intergration phase RHarrison: Gave up too early and the electrodes fried it AMillton: Great. I knew I shouldn't have let Margaret choose the specimen last time. Thank God she's on vacation. AMillton: I assume it died for a good cause? RHarrison: The manager is saying the guys up top want something tangible by next term RHarrison: We need to have them accelerated to the point of communicating with humans RHarrison: Means we need to forcibly increase their intelligence and subsequent exposure to us about six months in advance of what was planned :s AMillton: I think the manager needs to realise that getting a specimen to talk to a human isn't as easy as it sounds. Even if they make it through the procedures, very few specimens have the resolve to talk to something like us. RHarrison: Like us AMillton: Imagine us from their perspective. Hardly the sort of thing you would want to have a chat with. AMillton: I also think the manager needs to get some brains and realise that we won't get very far if all our specimens are dead. RHarrison: You know they read these things right AMillton: I am fully aware of that, yes. RHarrison: Well what about the next specimen RHarrison: I mean I know its coming on Thursday but have you got it chosen yet AMillton: Not yet. RHarrison: Just pick the smartest one AMillton: Have you tried psychoanalysing insects? AMillton: Even with sentience, their body language is different, their facial expressions are almost non-existent, and their social interactions are hard to find patterns for. RHarrison: So is that a yes or a no AMillton: That's a no, Ryan. AMillton: I have five possible specimens for Thursday, and I'm still trying to decide on the right one. AMillton: I don't like wasting lives, and I definitely don't like wasting time. AMillton: I may ask Lloyd to add more stimuli amongst the groups to incite more behavior for me to record and analyse. RHarrison: Ok AMillton: I have a feeling about Ant 01551. RHarrison: Why that one AMillton: Amongst the entire colony, this one seems the most aware of our influences on the colony. A01551 currently has the most recorded instances of observing human equipment. RHarrison: I thought our stuff is hidden AMillton: It is. Over the past three weeks, she has slowly become harder to track on the cameras. I trailed over the footage with Mark the other day and we think she knows where they are and she is actively avoiding them. RHarrison: Sounds like a troublemaker AMillton: Sounds like the smartest one. RHarrison: Hahaha fair enough Rharrison: Anyway back to work RHarrison: But you know did you want to grab a coffee at the lunch break or something [[AMillton CLOSED CORRESPONDENCE WITH RHarrison ON SRDPriNet AT 05/17/2033 10:26AM]] RHarrison: Oh [/spoiler2]

Skye's Summer Loot: Battleblock Theater The Wolf Among Us The Banner Saga (Deluxe Edition) Payday 2 (& Armored Transport DLC) Injustice: Gods Among Us (Ultimate Edition) Goat Simulator Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (& Deadliest Warrior DLC) Knytt Underground All in all, a very good sale. Shame Purple didn't win. dirty commie reds

Also disregarding the sticky drama (even though, from where I'm sitting, it's absolutely hilarious) I've seen some gameplay of the Back Scatter and it seems to be just that. Still trying to find the ingredients to make it, though. Oh, and not entirely Love and War related, but how come normal quality weapons aren't on the Steam Market? Would make things a lot easier for me, since I don't use stranges (wouldn't get any mileage out of the non-Spy ones.)

...That's it? Wow. It's like you were expecting a three course meal and you get a lovely appetiser. I mean, yeah, it tastes nice, but I'm still pretty hungry.

ARMCHAIR GAME DESIGNER MODE ACTIVATED The Back Scatter seems built for how I usually play Scout, which is never taking a straight fight. But I am still pretty bad at Scout. I'll enjoy it, though take that with a grain of salt. The Tide Turner is another shield. It does shield things. That sure is a shield. Boy, what a shield. The B.A.S.E. Jumper sounds like a lot of fun, I'm sure Soldiers will come up with some neat things to do with it. The Classic... I don't really "get it" from the description. Moving on. The Air Strike is situational, being great for vertical maps or with secondaries such as Gunboats or the B.A.S.E. Jumper, and being poor otherwise. So a very good sidegrade. Bread Box stuff are just reskins which I don't feel very compelled to get. I'm happy with what's there, but I was expecting a bit more than just five, given the timeframe since the last bunch of weapons. Hopefully, there's more than those. Hopefully.

That was everything I could have wanted and more, and that was only Day One. [spoiler2] Miss Pauling is just a fantastic character in every way, I adore her. The door inside the camper van has a keypad, and the 1 is worn down. Ha, nice throwback. Could be nothing, but in the fridge along with the Bottle and Sandvich is a brown paper bag. Could be a Heavy unlockable, who knows. "This... is a bucket." "DEAR GOD." "There's more." "NO." Love that exchange. I want a game of Payload Pinball. The way the Soldier takes the bucket is hilariously cute. The painting in Spy's Smoking Room is not only pretty neat, but I don't recognize that knife... Pyro seems to be reading a comic book with Red Scout and Blue Spy on the cover. Peculiar. Scout is actually pretty good at drawing. Be sure to stop and pause to see some of the books Scout was reading. Some pretty hilarious titles, such as "Being Friends and Getting Naked." I love the Spy in this so much. He has 3 days left to live and he spends it trolling Scout and being incredibly smug the whole time. ...Did I? "Dining Area" is just taped over "Nuclear Waste Area". Heheh. Potential redesign of the Pain Train, I see? Also possible new Spy revolver being used by Miss Pauling. Actually think I saw that one in the Workshop, so very good chances. Pyro playing with the bread monster is too damn cute. [/spoiler2]

STANDBY FOR TRANSMISSION

Implying that they're not..?

I'm more interested to see if "tourneys" will allow customization. On one hand, totes unbalancing, broken, unpredictable, too much fun. On the other hand, many more different strategies and tactics, metagame n' shit. which may be what we already discussed but you know whatevs Actually, does that mean Palutena won't be allowed in them, or in matchmaking? Or does she have a "default" moveset?

Same. I love Melee, I really do - I played it so much that I wore the disc out - but Brawl was more forgiving, accessible, and less reliant on twitch reflexes. 4 seems to be the happy medium between the two, which is exactly what Nintendo should be doing, so that they can attract as wide an audience as possible for the largest amount of sales. Besides, if the "pro" scene doesn't like it, they can just keep playing Melee.

[spoiler2]Zero was a cowardly fuck.[/spoiler2]I love you, Reggie.

Loving the event, awesome stuff, Geoff and commentators are doing a nice job holding the event up, the character coverage is great, and the matches are fast and exciting stuff. ...Yet, call it heresy, but that guy's white scarf makes him look like an utter tit. And that's coming from me.

Those two things are most definitely true. seriously what was up with the powers thing it was like a commercial interrupted the show

The initial reaction just sells it. "...Oh, fuck."

Things I Liked: Ori (looks and sounds gorgeous) The Master Chief Collection (assuming it's the price of a regular release, it's actually pretty good value) Tomb Raider 2 (original really deserved more sales) Bloodborne (not as much as everyone else, just a light interest) Magicka 2 (if only because of the funny trailer) Below (it looks really fucking good, if only it wasn't for Xbox One) GTA V (coming to PC, at last) Batman Arkham Whatever (okay, not actually that bothered, I just really like Scarecrow) Things I Disliked: The Division (Tom Clancy's Tom Clancy Game About Americans Saving America by Tom Clancy is getting old) Fable Legends (I take back all I've said about Borderlands 2, THAT was annoying writing and voice acting right there) Dead Island 2 (zombieszombieszombieszombieszombies) Let It Die (I guess I'm just soft, but... EW) Powers (this guy did not. shut. the fuck. UP.) Mortal Kombat 10 (it looks exactly like 9, which was a really good game, but still, we need a bit more this time) Metal Gear Solid 5 (sneak was asd because he was sad and a solider and he had liek this rlealy cool scar beacuee he was badass but sad because sad. veyrone else was sad beucase war was bad so snaek had to get hiss gun to stop badgusy from the war but hewas sad becuaes war.) Things I Have Already Repressed And Refuse to Acknowledge Ever Existing After I Am Done Making This Post: "The Conker Thing" Let's see if Nintendo wins (which it always does.)
