Alexander SquidLord Williams Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Unfortunately for the sanity of my friends and I, DropTeam has actually infected the way we discuss ... well, pretty much anything that has to do with communicating semi-covertly in public places. As typical for a group of geek-guys and lesbians, it's typically about the fairer sex. (What? I told you it's a weird group.) </font>I'm goin' after the enemy flag! or I'm goin' in!

Which may be just a sad admission on my part of having no excuse to indulge in this madness. The bot voices actually give me some tactical awareness of the battlefield, especially when I'm face-down in my Mercury trying to plot drops of supplimental turrets. And remind me one reason I wish the "element side-bar" were back in place, as it made it fast and easy to determine what a bot was doing at any given time.

Smeltz Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I feel a bit weird after reading this. I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, or run for the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
