News from the front lines

Incoming: SummerSmash LAN

Posted by spiii on February 4th, 2012 @ 13:31

SummerSmash is 11 February 2012. It’s also my birthday, if one celebrates birthdays every 6 months instead of once a year. Which I don’t really. So the bit about my birthday was a lie, but the bit about SummerSmash was true. Anyone interested? TF2 3v3 Arena is on offer. I dunno about everyone else, but my TF2 is pretty rusty…

If you’re interested, there are 3 things to do:

  1. Practice the universal greeting
  2. Learn your blues name
  3. Play TF2

If you’re not coming to the lan, you only need to do the first 2!

Ba-weep!

Running commentary

  1. Awesome! Back to Brink TF2 :)

  2. happy holidays folks!

  3. neat twist :)

  4. Star Peace

    I wonder if there *is* a Twilight MMO?

  5. Turn the brightness up.

    j/k I dunno what it would be. how’d you post a screenie if you can’t see?

  6. For the rest of us, there’s always youtube!

  7. what’s the verdict?

    I thought the opening cinematics were awesome, although a little long (watching isn’t playing after all!). Sadly, they stole the show from the in-game graphics, which look pretty dated. Like Jedi Academy quality (which was good looking in 2003). Worth watching the cinematics though, the production values there were awesome!

    I went with Sith and got given a practice sword. That put paid to my early hopes of yelling “I’M FIRING MUH LASER SABRE!” I picked a class with dual wielding light sabres. Not practice sticks :(

    There is a dance emote, but it is not as good as /jig in global agenda.

    I guess this is more classic RPG control based? I know now how much I prefer RPS over RPG. Let me point and click to shoot—not point and click to select and spam 1, 1, 1, on the keyboard to swing a practice stick. Wah! I was expecting gameplay like Jedi Academy (which is awesome).

    It probably gets better when you get light sabres and spaceships. I assume you get that by grinding.

    I liked the first couple of missions in the jeddi faction better than the sith. The sith have to run around in a temple killing crab worms. Also, all the other sith are unfailingly polite in their polished British accents, even when making threats. I expected to see more force choking!

    The jeddi get to run around a forest killing large pig-men and rescuing holocron discs. They are pretty much exactly what you’d expect.

    I haven’t seen enough to judge the quality of the story.

    I don’t have any RPG cred, but I played both Witcher 1 and 2 this year. This game plays like Witcher 1. Witcher 2 kicks butt in every aspect: graphics, controls, fighting, bad-assery.

    Sorry Ali! :]

    Did you get further into it? What were the highlights?

  8. I don’t think we’ll really know if it’s worth it until we can compare Zoey and Chewie in a blog post

  9. and I’ll look at it the year following that, when it goes free to play and I can afford it ~:)

  10. BF3 is so 2011! GTA V is where it’s at!
