    I wonder how easily breakable this is going to be once you unlock everything.

    First person to find the most hilarious body/class/weapon/skill combo that has the ability to piss off the other team wins a prize.

    I just had an idea.

    I want Penny Arcade to release their PSN error code t-shirt for an XBL avatar so I can wear that shirt on an online network that actually works.

    I wonder if the wonderful Mr. Khoo could make that happen? I wonder if Xbox would be OK with their main competition being made fun of like that.

    Hopefully it won't take more than 15-20 minutes to do initial character creation once the unlock is finished.

    Also since I bought on D2D but activated the key on steam, not entirely sure which pre-order package I'm getting.

    They stated specifically that there was no integration between PSN and PC. It "wasn't in the cards".

    The devs said the big unlockable items come first, the later ones are cosmetic things, or things that allowing you to specialize your characters even further.

    yeah negate that last post

    there are a lot of buttons, I need to do some solo testing to get my control scheme straight

    edit: S.M.A.R.T. is rad though, you just have to keep it in you mind to use it, it's really easy to forget about but when using it you can really get the drop on folks

    brink is getting slammed in reviews

    its fun but feels rough

    also the only way to play multiplayer is to open ports so uhh same problems as borderlands

    anyone with port control feel like hosting a game (ports to open are 27015 and 27016)

    how is the game, weaver

    the SA comments are all over the place. People can't get the game to run, it runs at 30 fps even on my 3500 rig boo boo, there is no sound, it crashes boo boo, it is awesome, this is more fun than any other game ever, etc

    I found a bunch by googling "brink reviews" with results for the past 24 hours

    there are some reasonable quibbles, like "the campaign might as well not be there" and "putting a multiplayer game together is kinda weird"

    I'm less able to understand complaints like "the bots are bad" and "you level up too fast"

    one site, i think it was eurogames, bitched about the hand holding tutorials

    another site, ign or gamefaqs, had no clue how to do anything

    so yeah, reviews are crap

    i want to know how it performs. does it look good, sound good, have a good connection, is it easy to understand the controls, etc?

    I had the usual Steam unlock pains.

    Had to play around a bit to get a feel for how I wanted my controls set.

    I cranked the graphics up and it's pretty. AI is fucking relentless, but so are your bot buddies. Haven't played with real people yet, because I've been getting a feel for things. Almost rank 4. It's fun.

    Also the only body type available initially is medium, you have to level to gain the others. So no, it's not just tons of people parkouring around.

    Also warning, the client isn't very alt-tab friendly yet.

    Which is exactly what happens with human players when you get snuck up on.

    Bot play feels a lot like human play, minus real people don't care about changing class when there's a hole.

    I don't know how I feel about this so far, the visual map design isn't as good as the Enemy Territory games, so you have to over-rely on the objective guidance. It's also more constricting.

    The general shootery also just doesn't feel ... solid.

    Feels fine to me so far. Doesn't take a whole lot to bring people down, but you also aren't made of glass.

    I think it will take a couple of days for people to get a really good feel for the mechanics before passing a solid opinion.
