Awesomenauts Catch-All of Awesomeness! Now on Steam!

Well, the first get together was a success. Gdawg27, Manach, and I won both matches, the first quite a bit fast as we overtook them. The second game contained one of my highlights since I've been playing this game. I was going under the worm platform to get a bunch of solar dropped by two enemy deaths and other bots. Manach casually floats over the button as Voltar and kills me. Not two seconds later does the same thing happen to Gdawg27 as Manach goes back the other way. UGH. No, Manach, No! Don't touch that button! HAHAHA!

Oh man, do I hate that worm platform.

I love the worm platform.

Some laughs were had, hilarity happened.. still nice for a game.

I found out what to get with Voltar now to get more solar. That's nice.

Just did a couple of practice matches to try to figure out what I'm doing again since it's been a long time since the demo.

Definitely much shorter games that LoL. Think I could get used to it. Will watch for people this week.

I'll be up for games if anyone sees me online. With moon ping obviously (although the game's net code seems to handle large pings surprisingly well).

Just dove into this tonight with a friend and had a total blast. Really enjoying it and looking to delve a bit deeper.

Couldn't get into a goodjer game tonight, but still had fun. And Stele (you changed your name!), long matches are one of the main reasons I stopped playing LoL and don't go back. I love the gameplay, but that length is just intolerable to me. I'm in the minority, of course. But really, I mostly stopped because my internet died around that time.

Can I get an invite to the Steam group?

I just got around to trying Awesomenauts out and it's a load of fun. It's a great little MOBA and much more approachable than DOTA. I'd also be down for a goodjer game whenever.

Trying to play tonight but Steam servers are sh*t.

Every time it goes on/off-line it freezes the game for a solid 30 seconds. Can't play like that. Luckily I was just playing Practice.

Of course I could set friends to offline and maybe play but then it would be tough to play with you guys...

Had to requests to setup a time to play tomorrow. Is the morning or early afternoon better for you? Let's try to get a full goodjer game going!

Look at Cyrax's health bar when he finished their base! Good times.

Looks like I need to practice. Would love an invite.

Commit to the bit!

Invite sent, Natus. I'll set an event for early afternoon if I don't see any time suggested here. Look out for the event. Sorry ahead of time for spamming everybody with invites!

Either works for me.

I'm playing this a bit as I don't have a desk and it's easy to play with a controller. I'll add my steam tag when I get home after the weekend (it's dibs).

I set an event for 2pm, an hour from now. Be there!

Much love to cyrax for continuing to set up these Goodjer games. Rolling Derpl + Voltar with a Voltar who actually knows what he's doing is almost too easy.

Thanks, I just love loving this game! The GWJ Battle Royale was a complete success. We had five goodjers going for almost two hours, and Boogle was kind enough to step in for a match to make a complete GWJ game! His Froggy did a great job of being a total nuisance to my Derpl. I had a blast, and going by the response of those that participated, so did they.

It's a little last minute, but I'm going to setup another time for 3pm EST today. If you're busy then, don't worry, I'll probably setup an event for later in the night. Look for one after 10pm EST.

Sweet! I'll try to be on time for this one!

WawaSC will be streaming Awesomenauts all day tomorrow on Twitch. I believe he is Rank 1 so it should be interesting.

Nice, that'll be something good to take my mind off of LD48 when I get frustrated. New naut next week!

I'd love to be playing more, but RL comes first (for once)!

The new naut should align with the winter steam sale. I was on the fence about purchasing the cosmetic DLC, but after sinking so much time into this game...if there is a sale...ching, ching!

Also, I need more Goodjers to friend me up for Awesomenauts. Somehow I'm rank 4 and I'm scared. I've been running into more organized opponents against my PUGs. I usually play a few rounds every night (9pm-11pm PST).

Since all TV shows are on their mid-season break, I should be able to put some time into this again.

I setup an event for 10pm EST. Be there on time to start the fun.

Looking forward to it, funny highlight/link btw.

From what I'm listening to their channel right now, it appears the patch/nerfs go into effect tomorrow....if so.

Get as many Lonestar wins as possible

So sad gdawg didn't get a win with us last night. After you left, we kept winning... :-/
No 'connection' intended, I just think we ran into crazy teams.

Patch with Vinnie is up.

I'm the sad fan of Gnaw, now nerfed.

Gnaw
-Acid spit, split spit will now only trigger on enemy Awesomenauts
-Acid spit, split spit, it is now visualised whether a spit will be split if you walk over it.
-Acid spit, duration reduced from 6 to 4 seconds.
-Acid spit, cooldown increase from 7 to 8 seconds.
-Weedlings, the maximum amount of weedlings you can carry with you is now 2 standard.
-Weedlings, bag of seeds now adds a single weedling, cost has been reduced 220 > 150
-Weedlings, Gnaw already holds a single weedling when he buys the upgrade or when he respawns.
-Weedlings, health upgrades for Gnaw also increase weedling health, Power Pills Light adds 6 health per stage, Power Pills adds 8 health

Fan of a weedling always available on respawn, but the rest make me want to cry. I was a huge fan of Split Spit. It seemed like it was strong, I guess it was too strong.

We're going to be seeing a bit more of Derpl.

Derpl
-Siege mode, Derpl is immune for status effects when in siege mode.
-Siege mode, nuke can now be detonated with a second press.

I hope they added a menu option that states, "Retire because of Derpl? No penalty for quitting the match."

After one match, I really don't enjoy Vinnie. He's very slow, maybe as slow as Clunk, and is quite weak. Seems he's built for utility/support with burst damage, but without being properly spec'd I couldn't tell. He feels similar to Skolldir. And, they both maybe characters I hate playing against, but wish I could have fun playing as.

Since it's the night after patch, I've again set an event for 10pm EST. See you then!

Edit: Didn't know The Voice finale was going so late, I'll sneak in one match, but after I won't be able to play until 11.
