Cel-shading? Meh.

I don't get comments like that. It's a great style and I much prefer it to anything attempting to look real. This also allows for more fantastical situations without making it come off as odd or really fake, and the uncanny valley isn't as much of a problem either.

Looks like they beat Borderlands to the MMO punch. Looks good, signed up for the beta.

Meh? Because it doesn't suit my personal tastes. It's not a deal breaker, just my knee-jerk reaction to the video.

Signed up as Stele. Free stuff is always worth a try.

Fair enough.

Randomly checked their forums and noticed they finally started up their closed beta. I didn't see anything on how big they're doing it yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing an invite pop up hopefully in the next 2-3months.

Also, here's an interview over at Colony of Gamers that stated they'll be showing some new stuff at PAX East.

Any interest in creating a GWJ thread on their army discussion forums?

Absolutely! Unfortunately, I'm less than qualified on making an intro/pimp letter. I volunteer anyone else.

I'm so excited about this game. I've been following it for a while but I'm getting impatient. To the naysayers who think a F2P game won't be as good as a P2P, don't worry about it. There is a lot of production value in this game and the micro-transaction store will keep it alive.

Any suggestions on a name? I figure [GWJ] would be our tag but I want something more interesting after that.

So far I've been considering "Stanley's Strikers" or "Stanley's Stormers."

I assume we're mostly in it for the PvE with some PvP on the side, yes?

Ew.

Stanley's Steemers!

PvP ONLY!!!!

PvP with Assault, Medic, and Sniper

Anyone get to play this at PAX?

Global Agenda meets Team Fortress 2?

Hey. They've got snipers. Awesome.

Alright, we're Stanley's Strikers. Don't like it? Too bad. I've submitted the name to the semi-offical army list and I'm going to dig through the forums some more.

Every visit to another forum reminds me why you guys, with your spelling and your punctuation and your properly functioning frontal lobe emotional response centers are awesome.

I'll always be a Stanley Steemer... in my heart. Wait, that sounds kind of gross. Scratch that.

I really like the visual style. Maybe a bit too much glowy stuff (looks like they fell out of TRON) but the backpack concept seems pretty original.

The video gives me a very strong TF2 vibe. Their medic is virtually identical to a TF2 medic, with the overheal and the overcharge.

Stanley's Strikers sounds almost... too professional. :p But I like it all the same. Go us!

And yes, GWJ is the forum your forum could spell like.

Posting up to sub to the thread and to throw my name down for the clan/team/roster/club/steemer support group.

Ditto

Stanley? I've heard he's a pretty great guy.

Where do I sign up?

When are they opening the beta?

Registered as Dimmerswitch. Interested to try it out, whenever they send along an invite.

TF2 + Tribes? Yes please.

You can find our army's thread here. If you would like to start posting about what you will do to make ours a glorious army, please have at it. Registration is an application for beta access. Service guarantees citizenship.

C'mon you apes. You wanna live forever?

[size=8]And punctuate like.

Also, you could take out both commas, which is probably closer to the original intent.[/size]

Did someone just volunteer to be first out of the dropship? Let's go! On the bounce!

TF2 + Ex-Blizzard Employees = Winning 24/7. In general anything Blizzard related is at least worth a look.

Wow, this game looks amazing, and I don't even like team-based shooters.
