All,
Last week Toby unwittingly shared his thoughts on Global Agenda with us. It would appear the tables have been turned as I now have to give some unexpected support to Team Fortress 2.
All I can say is… IT’S ABOUT F#%KING TIME VALVE!
That is all,

Hey, a snap poll — that’s a poll just for us! Actually they called it a flash poll, but close … !
Be quick, fill out the Global Agenda Survey — tell them what you like and — for Funballs especially — don’t like. Maybe they’ll improve? They certainly have been asking a lot lately, so I reckon they are keen to cater to players and get numbers up. They’ll have to be quick, with The Passing and Episodes from Liberty City due to drop late March!
Meanwhile I’m still plugging away with my med now. She’s 16. Uh, level 16. Medium security PvE is so mellow, it’s like therapy. Gaming therapy.
So there’s a fresh new Steam rising over the horizon. Beta is ready and waiting for you. All you have to do for a sneak peak is open Steam, then go to: Settings > Account > Beta participation > CHANGE… and select UI Update then restart.
So far, seems more responsive than the old Steam. Prettier in some respects, no theme selector though. The integration of different information into the games library is a nice touch.
If you give it a go, let me know what you think?
Submissions must be received by 28 February 2010. Submissions received after this date may not be able to be considered.
Hop to it snappers!

All,
As most of you would know, there has been much discussion amoungst the clan regarding the merits, or otherwise, of Global Agenda since its release a few weeks ago. Fumbles put forward his case for the negative to us last night in this thought-provoking video. Enjoy.

there is 4v4 PVP in GA now. well, there’s not anything *now* because they just shut the server down again. also high/max security PvE have more waves of enemies so less of a bore (but no match for the wave of enemies in l4d! 
brink does sound like it has potential. proof is in the playing 
I really like that physical appearance will reflect player stats. That way I know at a glance what I’m up against and can choose how to tackle them… or choose to run away!
Looks like it could have potential. The tactical coordination aspect appeals – depends how well they implement that “SMART” function I think. If they dont get that right it could be frustrating.
I like global agenda. But for a game that wants to be considered an MMO it’s surprising it doesn’t make it easy for more than 4 of us to play PvP together. In that respect it sounds like Brink will be different.
you mean it could be another global agenda? :]
frag_spawn that Wow clip is absolute gold. I just told Scott (hubby) he is a level 6 and banished to Elwin forest hehehe.
Denying credit, is it that bad??
BTW it should be easy to skin, so if you have ideas or requests for a new skin, let me know.
I’m not taking any credit for this irama! It’s all you dude – genius!
first up, respect JP, for getting irama on facebook (even if just admitting to watching a video).
secondly, we totally need to start using some of these techniques at work — headsets, and names above our heads, and respawning at boost when we need immunity packs.
I don’t see the connection, but that vid is hilarious. Especially liked the baby shower raid / leeroy jenkins at the end 
Driving games are not my favourite genre, but that looks like a lot of fun!
So Valve are thinking about Portal 2. That should be out just in time for Christmas 2016.
I would settle for something that completely f#@ks up spys.
I wonder what engy’s will get … I reckon the risk of leaving nests unprotected could be mitigated a little by alarms and/or booby traps. but I’m sure valve will figure something better. oh, they should give the engy a banjo
