The Mutericator

Thanks to this update, I just beat my best as Medic. 6 kills and what I estimate to be 5 or more Ubercharges in one life, it was awesome. Battlemedic for the fucking win.

"mwurderer" Successfully see -mw on the server and kill him once.

Because the way we read text is the same as how we hear words, am I right?

I just spent an hour and a half on TVTropes as a result of this post. I hate you for linking that.

As I said when I posted it to my facebook, it looks like the character designer was going for Nomura and the environment designer was going for Tales of Symphonia. Also trailer with gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq4B0_aa8uw via Kotaku. I have no idea how to imbed Youtube vids, sorry. I have to admit, it actually looks like a lot of fun, especially the new items. Still not sold on the character redesigns, but I can get over that.

To keep with the trend. Every 2D Mario (except Yoshi's Island) features some way for players to zoom straight to the final world if they want. In SMB, it was 1-1 -> 1-2 -> Warp -> 4-1 -> 4-2 -> Warp -> 8-1 -> 8-2 -> 8-3 -> 8-4. In Mario 3, it was dual-whistles found in World 1 to zoom to World 8. In SMW, it was Star Road, and in NSMBDS there were cannons that could propel you from World 1 to 4 to 8. This is no different.

Found your problem. As Penny Arcade put it, this isn't Co-Op Mode, it's Divorce Mode. Play it like a griefing engine with friends (a la L4D's Versus Mode) to get the most out of it.

"It’s not just a remake, we’re rebuilding the story, the characters, and the world settings (Miyata Masahide)" This makes me think it'll be more like Lufia II: Alternate Rise of the Sinistrals than a simple remake of the original. A reimagining, if you will - like NSMB was to SMB.

- The main overworld music is the same as the DS one (not exactly, but you know). - The battle music against enemies that show up on the map is the same as it was in SMB3 (or wherever that music came from first). - I think I remember the castle music being the same as the DS one, I don't remember.

Now that I figured out what was causing my absolutely shitty ping (automatic updates for W7 64x put a 32x driver on the wireless card, ignoring the 64x driver I manually installed before, a quick revert fixed it), I can finally play again! I don't have time to scrim, but I'll definitely be dropping in more often from now on.

I just bought the game today, but won't be able to play it until I get done with classes tonight. Can someone confirm/deny if the Star Battle mode from NSMBDS is in there, with the wrap-around levels?

Blanket-ban all of them, then unban any that the admins or a player on this topic feels is a cool guy, like Rambo and Howl. That's my suggestion.

Impulse buy and impulse gift to friend. Dammit Steam.

^ I agree with EdgeCrusher.

What part of "only two people" do you not get? You are outvoted. Only a few people said they remotely cared, and only you and atmuh say it bothers them. In addition, the solution on your end is simple: quit bitching and go to a server where anyone cares.

ITT admins ignore a minor issue because only two really, really whiny people remotely care.

The amount of bitching and moaning about serious business stats in a thread dedicated to a fun, "with friends" community server amazes me. Can we just IP ban atmuh from the OCR server itself and be done with this? Wikipedia is your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc

Wow, what a dick. I haven't had to deal with this yet, but man, that sounds like something that deserves a permaban.

Thank you for more accurately stating what I was trying to say. And yeah, SMB was the first thing that came to mind. They're still making 2D Mario platformers modeled after that first one; that's endurance. Discussing a game on a forum, writing essays to show how obsessed you are with prettyboy Cloud does not make a game "enduring". Hell, there are people out there still talking about Breath of Fire 2. I'm rather ignoring the rest of the essay, since I only made it through disc 1 of FF7 before I got bored of it, but that one claim annoys the crap out of me regardless.

Calling FF7 "the most enduring game of all time" pisses me off for some reason. It's like starting an essay with "hey, just fair warning, I'm a huge fanboy," and then trying to sound objective about the whole thing.

... Yes please.

Patches? What patches?

Sign me up for one of those flags, LOL. I'd love to have that on my wall. Especially now that I know the Heavy really does have a fist patch on his shoulder - I hadn't noticed that before, thanks for pointing that out.
