Morning Discussion
Games writer Tom Abernathy, who's worked on titles including Halo: Reach and The Saboteur, launched a rant on Twitter yesterday about the terrible state of female characters in video games. Inspired by seeing his daughter get so excited about the few female characters that are out there, it's pretty passionate and interesting. The whole rant was collected by Border House.

Attack speed does for sure, not sure about the others. It does matter which order in which you pick them :http://www.uberent.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1157 has some good info on that.
The most common setup for assassin that I've seen is Gold armor, Silver RoF, and Bronze skill regen. -
Attack speed, effects sword/dagger/shuriken

Man that last map last night blows donkey balls. Steel Peel or whatever it was? Yeah, fuck that map.
-
Should I set up another server due to the increase in players?
-
Depends...

i just played a fun round. top of the leaderboards, pushed in the bots, had ~1k cash more than anyone else. enemy money ball is about to die, and a tank drops on me and kills me. soon as that happens, i'm told YOU LOSE, and its apparent that i've just been team swapped.
need to balance that shit more }:( -

I don't think they make it for Mac, do they?

Slightly lower than my normal KD--about 7 to 9 on Shack server last night versus 11+ on pubs.
Shackers seem to underestimate territory control. Gotta control the center as soon as possible. -
Can someone please explain this to someone who just started playing. In particular the part where 10 k/d isn't good
-
It is just gibberish.....
-
No one is taking the game serious except alias as per usual. Because according to alias, if you aren't pro you aren't really playing.
-
don't you assholes know how to have fun right? jesus.
-
Oh hush, I was just explaining.
-
-
-
^^^ exactly this, plus the arrogance that your opinion is incontrovertibly correct

hahahahaha

rate of fire gold shuriken launcher is best. i need to do sniper smg rof gold next.
-
-
i dunno, whatever shoots the most bullets the fastest. i'm being completely sarcastic if you couldn't tell. if im not playing gunner or assault then im most likely not trying very hard.
-
-
Yes it is :)

i had fun the one round i had time to play last night. i'll make sure to `quit when i see you playing, however, if you're going to be all pissy like this. :|
-
We have 4 servers.....so just move. :)
-
i need to add them to my favorites still. and if a linux dedi comes out, i'll be throwing one up, myself
-

You should probably realize by now that we don't give a fuck what you'd prefer.
-
-
Maybe they are trying to win.
-
-
on the occram's razor side of things, it could be much more likely that you're just being a dick about internet video games.
-
INCONCEIVABLE
-
Perhaps. However this type sentiment: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=25087931#itemanchor_25087931 appears in a lot of posts leading me to think otherwise.
-
maybe, maybe not. the thing that still hasn't changed is that you're being all serious business about a video game, and talking shit to the community you should be enjoying the game with.
if you don't enjoy playing with them, for whatever reason, you should probably disconnect and find another server. or maybe you could try saying "fuck it", not worry about it, realize its a game, and just relax.-
Dude, it's alias, the very concept that some people may not play games all SERIOUS BUSINESS is like me proposing to you that Earth actually has 2 moons
-
oh don't tell me you're one of those 'one moon' crazies

People tend to not worry about bot-killing very much, but the cash-flow for the two major lane-pushing classes (Assassin and Tank) is simply insane when they're played right.
-
I love me some bot killing action.
