Oh man, I just saw that there was such a thing as fast reloading. This is going to save me from so many deaths.

Well, dang.
Alien Swarm
The Vindicator’s grenade explosion effect should no longer crash users running a GTX260 graphics card.
Fixed a bug where marines would continue to be buffed by the Damage Amp if they were standing in it when it expired.
Fixed ammo usage on the Tesla Cannon to properly decrease 4 times a second instead of 2 (doubled clip size to account for this). Rebalanced Tesla Cannon’s damage to encourage it to be used more as a support weapon.
Tesla Cannon will now use ammo slowly even when it isn’t damaging something.
Fixed Unicode text chat

Yeah I knew that thing was OP. I won't be surprised if the vindicator gets a slight nerf later on.
First time playing was last night. Had a great game with randoms, almost no FF and a good balance with a decent medic, tech, sarge, and Wep Spec...
Until we got the last level and then we discovered that the aliens were just a mini game and the real main game was drawing wangs.
It devolved into us drawing wangs on the mission map during briefing for 30 minutes.
At one point it was a competition to see who could draw a stickfigure and finish before someone else gave it a cock and balls. The level of coordination was astounding. The comments over mic had me cracking up and we didn't even finish the last level.

There needs to be an equippable item to double the time it takes for your drawings to disappear

Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I played a little bit last night. Game seems really fun but pick-up-groups are murder. There's always the one guy who runs ahead of everyone and the other dude who lags behind. The game wouldn't be anywhere near as difficult if people learned to stay with the group.
It's like they've never seen Aliens before.
Also, they need to learn not to run-around erratically in front of other people's machine-gun fire.

Running ahead should never be the problem. You have to keep moving forward. It is the responsibility of the rest of the team to keep up with you. Unless there is some other objective. If there are enemies behind, shoot them while moving and keep up with the team. Of course you are getting swarmed if you are sitting way behind your team.
Uh no holmes, if dudes are getting attacked and need to stop a minute to fend them off you should be there to help them, not a million miles away.
Its exactly like l4d where a dude can get stomped by 5 guys and idiots are too busy being all "keep up fgt" over mic to actually look behind them.

Nah. They should just keep moving. People in both games have this big problem of just dicking around in one area instead of doing the one thing they should really be doing, which is keep moving. You can still shoot when you are moving, and you don't get slowed down by enemies in this like l4d

Artreus is correct, except that only the bottom three of you should be shooting to avoid FF... the point man should be facing ahead clearing the way and setting the pace... if they are moving, the rest should be moving

Well I just tried to do a 2 player campaign with some pubbie random. Wouldn't unweld the doors on the first level, so I shot him in the face with the autocannon until he was really really dead and quit.
I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

I didn't want to have to keep dropping my damage+ and picking up the welder, then swapping again every time we got to a welded door or I wanted to weld one shut behind us. It was two-player, do your job and I won't kill the fuck out of you.

Sorry about that silent playthrough earlier, Stig. I was on skype at the time with the two other people in game (my roommates), because they prefer it over game chat for some reason.

Go figure.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
If you're the tech, unweld the fucking doors.
Or I'll turn your face into mince.
The in game chat doesn't allow for a low enough mic sensitivity.
I have no idea whether Blake was in the room with her or not.
