Hi Guys, long time reader, first time poster.

Q: I was wondering if you guys had a practice forum you could train and critique your newer members on?
I've really enjoyed reading your trolling in the past, but it seems that your current MWO team is lackluster at best.

Thanks, I'll take your answer on the air.


No, YOU... uh.... your mom... uh....

Sorry, I have to go check my textbook.

You may not realise it, but he is actually a 4th Dan Kookaburra in the FYAD school of weaponised wit.

Damn call line is always busy....

Hey guys, Roadbeer from K Town again.

Have you considered freeing up some dead weight on your roster?
I mean, Chronojam is just reposting and bringing up old/dead topics. Maybe trade him to KONG and pick up Fup Dup or Sug from free agency? I think you might be able to get a good deal on them and stay under the salary cap.

Thanks I'll take your answer on the air.

Chrono also did that image that's doing the rounds that they went as far as to filter the imgur link for, so I dunno, he's pulling his weight.

I like it! Think it would have gotten better play as a sig first, but you can't argue with results.

It was also used by a Forbes contributor, though anyone can apply for a Blog on Forbes.

They didn't delete it and they then published it to the internet, thus it was quoted by them Posted Image

Do note that the Forbes contributor is not some arbitrary poster; he formerly reviewed MWO on behalf of IGN, and this is a rare case of a reviewer returning to check up on a game they scored earlier in its development process. To me, that alone makes it notable.

In the initial review the gave it a 7.3 and although optimistic he noted concerns that it was lacking in content and had uncertain growth potential. Unfortunately, he was right to have those concerns.

It is not the only image that's being passed around that I had a hand in, but I'd rather let people "own" the message than slap my name across them and insist on recognition every step of the way.

Like I said, Props. I laughed my *** off the first 20 times I saw it.
VoIP seemed like filler though, don't know anyone that's seriously crying for that other than MHW.

It'd potentially have uses. It's more that they promised it and didn't deliver really.

Is it really though? They thought they had a good thing with C3, I tried it, my unit tried it, I think everyone at House Marik tried it... ONCE.

It's not like they have the resources to build one from scratch, it was universally decided that C3 wouldn't do the job, and TS/Vent would be too expensive for them to do.

I respect them more for abandoning it to work on other things then double down and force us into it.... like 3PV

The quietness of the abandonment was a bit lame, but they could have tried Mumble either. You aren't wrong about 3PV though.
