Description: The PC Gaming site: it's a fun time.

I was fairly interested before this... now I reeeeeally want this!

I'm two kinds of excited about this. On the one hand I'm excited but wondering if I'll ever be able to fully enjoy it because I'm very limited in how much I can use TS, so teamwork might prove very difficult. On the other hand, I'm even more excited because it looks like it'll suit our herd of cats mentality perfectly - reacting to the situation with skill and knowledge of each other rather than deliberate tactics. For that I doubt it'll make any difference if I'm on TS or not because it'll just be full of people yelling obscenities and "did you see that headshot".

Unfortunately I won't be able to play it until the end of next week because I'm working 12 hour shifts

Can you not ask Berk nicely to set up a DP speshul TS channel, with really medium-low codecs?

There was a guy on dialup who played Eve and used TS fine this way.
