I'm on the 2 non-European servers. Took an hour to get in at one point thanks to a 2500 person queue. But dear lord the lag makes the game unplayable once you get in. I can't believe yet again, another company under-estimated the amount of players when they clearly knew how many people pre-ordered Founder's access.

My Origin ID is: LordLOC

Had the game all the way back when it released, but now that it's free, more people to have fun with! So feel free to add me for some MP shenanigans.

RIP Alan Rickman

Sigh, the deaths always seem to come in 3 for stars and famous people. Lemmy, Bowie and now Rickman.

By grabthar's hammer I shall avenge you Alan Rickman! Gonna watch Galaxy Quest just to remind myself how friggin awesome you were Mr. Rickman. You will be missed.

I really miss Auto Assault. That MMORPG was way ahead of it's time and the audience thus wasn't ever there for it. It was also before all the F2P conversion epidemic started really. NCSoft could have made it F2P, but obviously just closed it down. Such a fun ass game, I really do miss playing that.

Pretty good list Patrick. Also, it's great to see that you are basically a PC guy now :)

PC had some of the best games and experiences in gaming this year, bar none.

OMG on PC it'll be in 2160P! :D

What the hell? I had no idea this happened until today when I watched the replay/upload of The Lobby from earlier Tuesday. Chris Waters started off explaining (somewhat) what happened, and I just sat there in shock. Not because it was some super surprise or anything, but I was just super surprised.

I really enjoyed Caro's stuff over the past few years on GS. Same with McGee (especially his XBLIG shows along with Caro et al) and McShea etc. Really shocked is an understatement. Just the amount of bigger names let go is shocking I guess. Well, I guess they really weren't big names to GS, just to fans of the site? Still, kinda bummed now. Brad and Dan on The Lobby made up for some of the icky going forward, but eh.

I wonder how Kevin Van Oord is doing, since he probably had to make some of those decisions (he is the top editor at GS right? Though not EIC if I remember correctly). Gotta remember to follow everyone on Twitter who got let go now :(

Wow, I don't even know what to say. RIP Ryan, you were truly an awesome guy. To Jeff and Brad and Matt, Patrick and Drew and Vinnie and everyone else at GB, I'm so sorry and my sincere condolences to you all. I hope his family is doing ok, I will be thinking of them after this horrible turn of events.

Seriously, I don't even know what to say about this. I feel like Ryan (and everyone else at GB) has sort of become part of my family after being a part of the community for so many years now (and going back to the Gamespot days) and this is just horrendous news.

I'm going to assume this game uses that sweet tech demo engine Square has been showing off for a couple of years now? It sure looks like that engine. The fire effects especially looked quite good.

Also, why does that one dude look like Cloud? Does every FF game have to have a Cloud-alike in it or something? lol

My ID is lordloc, characters name is Cheeser, I'd like an invite please :)

GB will be represented in Defiance, yeah!
