Fallen Empire: Legions, the browser game Garage Games was developing, is actually really good! It's faster paced than Tribes 2 but it's simpler because they haven't added a lot to it.
Unfortunately Instant Action still isn't fully rebuilt yet so you can't play it anymore. It really sucks.

Ugh, my laptop freaked out and now it won't restart.
Jetpack is really slow. It's trivially easy to shoot at somebody who's hovering around. You can take people by surprise and move across the map in unconventional ways and a few weapons are very effective while airborne, though.
My brief experience with the game was: If I have a jetpack and you don't, you die via nades.
Some of that is just surprise. Dudes jetting around tend to be targets.

So I guess for some reason I don't understand my company is giving me fifteen thousand dollars for last years taxes. I guess I was overcharged on the tax front while I was in Greenland.
I've learned to be very conservative with my jetpack use. But it's handy sometimes for doing some non-conventional approaches. When takes are being utilised, I try to use jetpacks behind walls and such to get closer and then hop over with nades or a more intimate assault.

Excuse me while I go rob a bank to make myself feel better.

It's gonna be good times, though you'll need to be patient when Strikeade inevitably arrives.

Yeah they are fantastic to use for positioning. I just had to learn to quell the impulse to try to jet up to snipe and such

Yeah they sent me a big PDF on friday and it wasn't really clear what wE up. At first I thought they were telling me that I owed them fifteen grand.

I have not made enough money in my entire life to have paid that much in taxes.
Well he was overseas, so you can't really get taxed on that. I used to get sick returns when I was contracting for the DOD. I still love when work sends me to Africa because it's like a month where work pays for everything, and I rake in about 2k more a month in non taxable income to "live", plus my normal rate. And that's in the NGO international development field. It's not unheard of for contractors in areas (and I don't mean blackwater) to clear 10k in a month or so. And most of that is in save the world type foreign aid missions.
Combine that with various ways to avoid taxes on medical plans, and other scams and you should always get several grand back a year even on a minimal salary.
Hence the joke in DC, all of the save the world organizations are nothing but middle class welfare for overly educated people.
Man I should be making 50k a year according to that. Sadly I am neither full time employed or ever made that much money.
Hell I'm making only 2/3 of what I was a year and a half ago. There are goddamn teenagers making more money than me on a regular basis. What's mind-boggling is that there are people who are even poorer than I am. I'm already economically a non-entity as it is.

I could never move to DC. I'm only depressed when I think about money here. In DC I would be depressed every other moment.
Also if I ever had a job where I was required to stop working so hard I would start living up to my avatar.

God, I know. There's some browser-based tribes-alike, but it pales in comparison.
Get your brother to steal you a copy of the haloes or something
that kid is hilarious
he was so peeved

You should bro it up with us. I never played tribes but have been given to understand that it feels somewhat similar
If people are actually planning a meet up I will.
2 problems. No brobox, no halos. And I am not paying for a brobox just for halos.
my xbox diarrhea'd the bed
i found out microsoft won't cover it, though i guess i never finished looking up how much it would cost to fix
i had my second interview on wednesday night and was told things went well, i'd be getting a call soon
so i'll call in the morning
maybe once (when?) i get this i'll spring to fix it or get a new one
they're only like $200 now, brand new, and they include built in wifi?
not bad
We are, just working out details and who will be here. So please, with sugar on top?
Yeah I think these days the value proposition lies with the new models.
Hopefully you will be able to play with us again soon. Had a lot of fun with the bee see two
I had a good weekend this weekend
and I am still dreading going back to work tomorrow.
I also didn't get anything done, and I need to fix my car and do my taxes
Hrmmm

On the black screen
Man I cannot wait to play this with you.
Haha nice
I use "bro" conversationally to refer to fratboys and such.
Excuse me while I go rob a bank to make myself feel better.
the cost of the high end model is $100 more, and you get the $20 wired headset for free
is the 250 gb hdd more than $80?

I have no idea. I am use to the ps3 which uses standard laptop sized hds. And you can get a big 250 gig hd for cheap.
I think that elks bought the HD and it was 120 dollar IIRC
i dont even know how console hdds work
Yeah they sent me a big PDF on friday and it wasn't really clear what wE up. At first I thought they were telling me that I owed them fifteen grand.
I have not made enough money in my entire life to have paid that much in taxes.
ok
so $300?
hmmm
or, walmart offers the 4gb onboard console, bioshock 2, the headset, and a year of xbox live, for $280
sell bioshock 2 on ebay for $20
so
$260 for the console, the $20 headset, and the $60 live membership
or $360 for the 250gb console, the headset, and the $60 live membership
i guess it works out similarly either way
i don't know if i need the hard drive again
i'm too cheap to really pay for dlc, i only used it to download free demos
Fuck you economy.
i don't know yet
it's taking a long time for them to call me back, so i hope they're not jerking me around
but i did get called back for a second interview which is a good sign, and i know they have to setup an 'orientation day' before calling you
i am calling in the morning to be safe

Move to DC, we have government jobs and shit. You will go broke on housing but make bank.

Gods, getting one of those is such a pain. I have been trying. I have friends there as well.
or shouldn't it?
