    tattoos and scars are another item in the customization menu, but are permanent when applied and apply to both security and resistance versions of that character

    Oh. Well, I made what I thought was a new resistance character... but the tattoo I gave him transfered over to the security character. Not a huge problem was just... confused.

    I love the game, but in multi, even when I go in the options and set up a key for global voice and my mic works and it just doesn't broadcast or people just can't here me

    It's crap. The objective wheel is great for getting people to switch classes

    until the wheel says you need a soldier and because voice doesn't work everyone changes to soldier leaving you maybe one stubborn engi (me) and no medics

    but

    is it fun enough to buy on an extremely limited income?

    I think aside from Valve's stuff, I don't think I've ever seen a game that's implemented voice well enough that people ever bother with it instead of vent.

    I can wait

    Mori rented it for the 360, which might be okay to try it on even though I'm strictly a PC guy (not out of misguided loyalty, or anything, it's just what I prefer)

    have I mentioned recently how much I love the parkour thing

    there's this one spot in container city where you can cross a gap and enter a light bodytype-only sniper nest by walljump bouncing three or four times between adjacent walls


    I mean you could just get a running start and leap and pull yourself up, or do one longer walljump, but my way is so much cooler

    Can't say I've had a problem with it, but one of the first things I did was switch crouch from toggle to hold.

    It's a bit easier when you realize that it's set to toggle sprint rather than hold, so as long as you keep moving, you only need to tap crouch to go into a slide

    My smart key is left shift

    my crouch key is left control; it's a twitch of the pinky finger to do either

    So I play games with a group of like 6 dudes from my old WoW guild.

    Today I said "hey, let's play brink, guys" to the two of them online

    one said "i'm downloading LA Noire, I'm done with brink"

    me: "What, why? We've played it for like 2 days"

    him: "yeah, we played for 2 days, beat it, and now we're moving on"

    I don't understand this attitude. Why the fuck would you pay $38 to $50 for something and stop playing it after a few days? It's not even that he dislikes it, we've been enjoying the hell out of it. Ugh.

    pipe I would have shot all the men with you but I did a test game to see if my xbox was still freezing up
    and it gave me a disk unreadable error while ending the match even though the game was installed to the hard drive and it had done the disk check already

    so I probably won't be brinking much in the foreseeable future, unless someone feels like giving me $300

    Thus far I have made two dudes.

    One is more or less an attempt to look like someone from Akira.

    The other is pretty much Axe Cop/Mike Haggar.

    i've made three characters, and my nephew has made two

    My first guy's Resistance... persona? appearance? is vaguely what I think Otomo's art is like, having looked through Akira at the mall 8 years ago. I saw the movie... 16 years ago when my parents thought I was asleep. He's a punk guy with vaguely Black/Asian features, an orange mohawk or fauxhawk, a gas mask or hockey mask, and a pair of combat capris and sandal socks. Totally sweet tribal on his one arm. "wind screen" scars on his face. I pretend he was defenestrated.

    His Sec... appearance? twin on the other side? He has a shaved head, athlete black lines under his eyes, the good cop glasses...

    And I just made a guy with that mouth tattoo and the matching arm tattoos

    I'm really digging the art style of this game something fierce. I beat the Resistance side of the missions, but not the what-ifs, and hit a wall with the Sec side on the very first mission. Man, that is a wicked choke point almost as soon as you start, nearly as bad as I imagine CCity to be from the Sec side.

    The bots aren't up to snuff for that.

    But holy shit PSN IS MAYBE COMING BACK RIGHT NOW, AS I TYPE

    You can check this link to see if your state is back up and running yet.

    I just hope they roll it out internationally before too long.
