I suppose, though I often use much more than 140 characters on here, and the community is much tighter than that of twitter. Generally people here don't do as much stupid stuff either...

Considering what is actually going on within this forum, I'm surprised that no newcomer have drawn the conclusion that we are more insane here than anywhere else on the internet. Maybe intelligent people have a knack for being deviant?

I don't have a slightest idea what you're talking about. Let's go butcher some mermaids.

That thread really has become the thing people say about:
"this is B12 in a nutshell"

[Blizzlord]

Well, what else are we going to do while waiting for beta?

[Girlinhat]

People think mermaids are nice and a treasured race.
Bad people like to kill mermaids for laugh.
Smart people like to kill them because they're a treasure.

As bad an act as you may think it is, it's profitable.

I think it's more like some kind of electronic corkboard spanning the oceans. The clipboard hanging from a series of tubes, if you will.

Higby just put up a 30min stream of Planetside 2.  I have to say it is looking amazing, and the beta can't come quick enough!  The only thing I could complain about was the facility captured/defended messages taking up half of the damn screen, though they have supposedly been shrunk in the latest build.

Here's the youtube link for those who missed it.

Most of the lag seems to be from the stream (the image will freeze up but Higby doesn't seem to lose control of his character), although Higby gets a client crash and there's a TR MAX that starts warping about due to server lag.  It looks pretty good for an early beta though.

Highlights of the video:
-Higby not doing anything (first ten minutes)
-Higby getting his ass kicked
-A prowler dodging Higby's Vanguard by wedging under him battlebots-style
-Higby actually doing well
-Elmo oppressing Higby's spawn point
-Higby ricing out his assault rifle with a tacticool scope, which he uses to aim at people two meters away from him indoors, running out of ammo when he actually gets a clean shot at a guy standing still outside
-Higby dealing with an illegally parked Mosquito
-A barney crashing his Scythe into a crowd of smurfs for the glory of Vanu
-Higby being ingloriously shot down by an ATV-riding space-nazi

Also, the first hard number to come out of SOE.  The exact nature of "a few" may soon be cleared.

Anywhere from 2 to 5

[Matz05]

I would say that "a few" excludes 2 in most uses, but sometimes means "threeish", which could still end up being 2.

Threeish is still between 2 and 5.

[Matz05]

That's what I meant. Use of "a few" means that 2 is a less likely outcome than the others, but still possible.

Just saw this and this.  Looks like Smedley isn't screwing around about the technical test, and if things go right they might have a beta date announcement by the end of the week.
