It's a Tested cast and replaced the main "This is Only a Test" a few times IIRC. Check over on Tested.com and you should find the correct RSS feed. I believe it's called "A Bunch of Dads."

From what I've heard it's specifically a problem with 'human interface' devices. So you know, basically anything. You're not missing much, honestly. They somehow managed to truly fuck up the mouse controls which makes it really really unpleasant to play. The option to turn off mouse acceleration seems to only turn off positive acceleration, but negative is still there. It feels truly awful.

Here's three more if those run dry.

@squidc00kie: Yeah, C9's generally a really fun team to watch play. Bummed they didn't get into the final, but oh well.

@johnlocke: You should get everything that you would otherwise get from Valve. If you want to level it, you should also be able to buy points on the market, but you won't be able to get many of the 'freebie' points from the predictions etc. The battle booster is almost over as well, but if you just want the items you'd get from the compendium it's totally viable to just get it now.

@johnlocke: You can no longer purchase the compendium. Sorry man. Maybe check the market?

@klei: The combat feels way jankier. I'm constantly whiffing strikes that clearly should have hit, Batman did his "go flying 20 feet" thing towards the guy, isn't getting hit, and just stops. I'm also constantly getting caught on level geometry while fighting (often mid strike animation, exacerbating the inexplicable misses), and the camera seems way less intelligent when fighting bad guys, especially near buildings, trash cans, light poles, inside... basically around anything that it could possibly get caught on.

The fact that the basic combat IS so good and was absolutely great in the first two games just underscores the fact that it doesn't feel quite right here. Its still better than in most games, but it's not an issue of the new systems or rebalancing, rather more of a general lack of polish that permeates the entire game.

@alternate: I did too.
