I am confused as to what a Ps2 beta key is, do you mean play station or planetside?  Cause if it's planetside I might have to take you up on that offer... tomorrow, my paypal account isn't stocked yet (I just checked with the intention of starting a give-away or contest XD)

If you can confirm you can get that for me I can send you all the keys and stuff now.
I can't new bank account and new pay-pal this is the first transaction so it may not go through

Everybody keeps saying that Free Aiming rockets can't be done, which saddens me. But Greg's stream just popped up with a "Free-Aim: Rockets" globe, and it makes me confused. Am I remembering what I've read wrong?

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

I didn't manage to save enough cash for the game by release, so I'll have to watch this thread enviously 'til I can buy it.  I'm a sad camper.

You can free-aim rockets, but not regular shots. So no demolishing barns with laser-weapons any more.

Coupled with the fact that you have extremely limited supplies of rockets and grenades. I understand missed shots can still go through cover...which I think Jake said in a podcast that they feel that keeps some of the random "Oh shit, I didn't know THAT was behind the wall!" element.

I think I'm watching at least half of my work in my Steam list sitting there doing the same thing.

So I've got KitKat and Crayon on my first team. Will they die horribly, or go all the way?

Get ready men, remember; five men's a juicy opportunity, one man's a waste of ammo. I'll see you on the beach.

How do you deliberately crutch a dwarf who seems to have no urge to go to the hospital and be diagnosed with "walklessness?"
