Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Also I am guessing I need to read the newspost to fully enjoy this comic?
it is an incredibly simple joke
I am guessing MAG is a video game
and the art is funny!
Mag?
so I play a sniper
It's not that much fun so I probably won't buy it but hey free beta so why not get my snipe on
ahahaha what was the infraction for
Satans..... hints.....
They really, really don't.
Also: Birthday comic.
Countless other battlefield games and other military shooters. Incidentally, replacing the name "MAG" with "Battlefield" fits rather nicely in the corresponding newspost, primarily when Tycho's talking about the "Optimal round." I haven't played MAG, but such rounds tend to be enough of a rarity for me in Battlefield and it's ilk that I have a hard time getting excited for such games anymore.
Nothing can have as steep a learning curve as that game. Even figuring out how to spawn was a trial.

At least Counter Strike has servers where, once you die, a line is drawn to show where you were shot from.
Also, if you want rocket launcher, play like UT or something. Fast-paced FPS games always result in me dying from some fucker I don't see, or if I do see 'em I'm caught in some fucked up free-for-all that lasts for three seconds between 10 guys.
You would run around for 15 minutes and probably never see an enemy or a friend.
no
not at all
so i tended to spend most of my time trying to crash my plane or jeep into people
i somehow hit myself with the APC i was driving

Seriously. Whenever you died, you did not know how you died. It was just a quick fade to a black screen. No explosion noise, no gunshot noise half the time. And it was like this in whatever unit you were using. So in a tank you had no idea if you were killed by another tank, or if it was some douche infantry with a stickybomb.
Yet, I somehow found it in my heart to enjoy that game.
I didn't realize you had to level up to open up new maps. That's kinda shitty.. So are "powerups" and more powerful weapons, but that's the current trend in viddya games I guess. You kids today I swear... I made it to level 8 in about 4 hours. Healing gives you better XP I guess, I used my points on weapons and junk instead.
The maps.. er the MAP. is a little big but not too bad. If you die you do have to run a bit to get back to the action, but it's not THAT long, 10-20 seconds maybe not really 5 minutes. The worst part is when you miss a respawn and have to wait another 18 seconds - you RTCW/Wolf:ET players will know what I mean here.
I love the game really, but don't see it de-throning MW2. I guess the later levels have vehicles and stuff, otherwise it's pretty much "action shooter 1234" with all the same weapons we've seen a million times before.. At least the teamwork and the level design is much better than MW2 and there's none of that bullshit "kill streak" bullshit crap shit crap. Oh and the weapons aren't total bullshit, you have to actually AIM.
Snipers aren't that bad really, it takes 2-3 shots from most of the snipers to kill you, and everyone can heal themselves (if you bring a health kit, which everyone should). But I have to say, when I first started playing my kills:deaths was like 1:10, then I grabbed a sniper rifle and in about 1 minute got 10 kills in a row and went 35:3 or something ridiculous.
