Tribes Ascend PC live stream right now - This game looks amazing
I've never played or seen a Tribes game before, but this game looks like Battlefield 2142 meets RAGE meets Halo meets Unreal Tournament meets Crysis meets Quake 3, and graphically it's stunning.
Absolutely on my radar right now, it's fucking refreshing to see a good old PC shooter with spectator mode/freecam and this vibe of freedom and great community content potential.

Well message me anything. I did not play more then a few rounds. But I had fun. The controls are a bit hard to get used to. It was mostly sailing in a straight line.

Yeah but really fast. I got into the beta as well. It was fun, but damned if I could actually hit anyone.

I got a kill from the awesome side weapon/granade launcher.
You could also go to http://www.facebook.com/tribesascend?sk=app_126443417467788 , "like" the game and get a key for free. (For those who don't have one yet)
Yeah thanks to @yinstarrunner: I just played for a few minutes and it's really fun! The skiing and jetpack launching really feel good, not to mention the raw feel of he weapons as they fire.I just played for about an hour, it's a blast. I'm definitive gonna play more!
Just played for a good hour or so and it feels pretty good. The high speed thanks to skiing and the verticality thanks to jet packs really raises the skill ceiling in my opinion. Grinding out tokens seems like it will take a lifetime though without boosts.
I love the sense of speed and the mobility you get when you use your jump pack properly but I'll be damned if I can hit anything with the spinfusor. I'll probably play more T:A after the Steam holiday stuff dies down.
I was like 10 when tribes 2 came out, so I absolutely loved it but looking back I was so shitty at it. I have yet to play this game, but watching this stream it's got a nice nostalgia factor and looks really fun. Hopefully my laptop will be able to run it on at least low, or else it will be a while before I'll be able to play it. Hopefully it can get a competitive community and stick around a while! There needs to be something other than counter-strike for PC FPSers to waste their days on.
Never played Tribes before, decided to check this out yesterday. I have concluded that Tribes is fucking amazing... Speeding through a pinhole in the side of the enemy base, grabbing the flag before they even know what hit 'em, jumping out just as shots hit your feet and skiing back to your base while avoiding enemy fire - all in a single, fluid motion - is the greatest (and also worst) feeling in the world.
