Just played Favela at lunch with the guys at work. My first time playing and loved it, so did all the guys! Great work Rick.

Just had this offer sent around work and thought you guys might be interested.

Thought it might be handy for some of you guys. Especially if you're moving to a new studio who uses a package you might not be used to.

Cheers

I want to join in on the spoilers. I feel left out. Need to read all those damned books

Yeah the "Press B to skip" part is ace

Can't wait for this it looks like it's going to be great.

Got a code from work. Shall give it a proper play tomorrow.

Add me on Origin. I think my name is Ren182 on there.

A guy at work has had an XBox One invite. Still nothing on the PC front for me.

I don't like how kicks are one-hit kills. I guess it's something different to a knife like every other game but a kick just seems silly. I've been kicked before and I didn't die! Surely they could have invented some kind of futuristic tech to disable enemies; heck, even a tazer would be more believable!

Anyway, we're all thinking about getting this at work since there's normally about 12 of us playing Counter-Strike at lunch this would be perfect to accommodate us all in one game. Do we know if this has LAN support?

Signed up because I wanna try before I buy!

This.

But even then I'm going to wait until after release before I buy it since the BF4 beta was pretty good then the full game really didn't deliver.

Saw this posted over at Reddit:

FMPONE, not sure you were aware?

I'm just worried it's just going to end up with the 4 humans just kiting the monster once people figure out how to play the game. In L4D if you were a tank alone you had no chance against an ok team who would just kite the tank around. At least in L4D you had other infected to slow them down. I guess he does have the leap ability and but will that be enough?

Some nice behind the scenes footage from season 4. I don't think there are any spoilers in it, at least I didn't feel anything was spoilt. But obviously view with caution.

Urgh...

Was in a competitive match last night and we ended up having an appalling start to the game and went 0-4 down. Then a guy on our team start complaining that we're all shit and just kept shouting down the mic when only one of us was left in a 1v1. He then kept rushing mid on D2 not shooting and just dying instantly on purpose and whilst he was dead he kept telling the other team where we were in the chat box. We pulled it back to 6-4 to us and then he just started team attacking and flashing us.

So annoying. If he'd have just played we'd probably would have won but instead he decided to troll us and lose on purpose. It ruins the game when you get people like this. Tried reasoning with him but he wasn't having it. Tried kicking him and someone kept voting no. -_-

Blah no wonder I've gone down a rank

Just gave it a quick spin on my dinner hour with some of the guys in the office and the underhand grenade throw is a very welcomed addition! Was nice to be able to drop a molotov on the floor whilst retreating without having to look at the floor to throw it onto the ground.

The Aug fires much faster now when aiming down the sights and is still deadly accurate. Loved it!

Didn't really notice much difference in the accuracy when firing whilst moving, but I'm sure one of you pros will be able to tell the difference.

I like how we can now roll grenades, that should be helpful in some situations!

I think I was sold when that music kicked in. Loved it.

Art style is great too!

Have they told you the right order in which you should watch everything?

I'm going by the order that Netflix has it in. I assume it's correct?

Get ready for one hell of a ride. One of the best series I've ever seen.

A lot of people have told me this. I hope I'm not disappointed!

I hate how trailers always spoil shit these days. When they drove off the cliff and cut the video there I was kind of interested. Dudes got some balls and must be in a really bad situation to do that... I wonder what happened... Two seconds later they show me he's tied to a helicopter and all is well. What's the point?!

I doubt this will be that great xD

Started watching Battlestar Galactica and I'm really enjoying it. I don't know why I never got into this before because I'm a giant space geek!
