Whoo! Zombies!
 
Edit: Admit it, it's better than "First!!"
 
I was considering buying this, after seeing the funny little jab they made at MW2 in their Steam trailer.

Do not let these Scrooge's fool you. I'm terribly addicted to this game at the moment. Not for everyone, but it has great balance and when you can find a good server you'll be in for some fun.

It looks pretty fun and simple. Maybe better if it was just 5 bucks, though.

15 bucks is way too much for this. You can get some pretty awesome first rate games for less than that on Steam.

I was recently on sale for $10 a couple days ago. I do agree with you though, I will also probably wait until it gets cheaper, if ever.

This game is crazy fun and lightning-quick if you're in a server that doesn't have less than four people in it!  ($15 is a bit much, though)

Ohhhhhh, that's where he is. Maybe I should have watched one of the last podcasts.
And yeah, everyone should download this demo from steam. The demo is ridiculously large, and I'm amazed people actually bought the full game.

Looks interesting. I would consider getting this but, $15 sounds a little to much for this game. Maybe if it were say, $5 or $7 dollars, then maybe.

$10 for this? Really? It seems like a free to play flash game. No thanks.
 
Also, I'm so glad PC games stick to server lists because they make finding a game SOOOO convenient especially when you are looking for a certain game mode. Matchmaking? That's for noobs and console pussies! AMIRITE?!

Now that's a quick look! More would've been nice, but I guess there's only so much you can show of a 2D Dog-fighting game :P 
 
Looks fun though, I'll admit that, and leveling up. SOLD!

I guess gamers tend to come in two varieties: people who want options and freedom and people who want a safe and simple environment. Luckily, there are platforms that cater to both.

You guys mentioned Subspace. Oh gosh, I love you all.
 
Subspace hasn't died though. It's been dying at a crawling pace for years, but the community around the game is still very much dedicated to keeping the game alive. This weekend will be the last week of Trench Wars League competition before the playoffs, very exciting stuff if you're still into the game as much as I am.

People freak out when they see server browsers. I think its all the numbers that scare them? It makes me sad for them.
 
All i know is in l4d2 i had to quite back to the lobby 7 times consecutively today because it put us in some european servers or something.
 
MW2 is the only online experience i've had where it worked right. And even then, its because im not living in Australia anymore that im not getting ass fucked on ping every 2nd match.
 
How fucking hard is it to pick a game mode, a ping and check how many are playing.
 
Does anyone who has traditionally used server browsers think its done better any other way?

I think Jeff could have provided a longer quicklook but I appreciate this one nonetheless. Dave is into some weird, small-time stuff and its great to see.
