SR4 really is the best Matrix game available. I bought it half off and am very pleased with it so far. I hated how weak the character was in the previous ones, so this is perfect for me.

Arggg... today I had a decent run going, and on my first shot with the shotgun, forgot about the kickback. And fell into spikes.

MADCatz?! I always go with the official 360 wired controller. I learned my lesson from a crappy GameStop 360 controller I got quite awhile ago. Never worked right. I am a bit worried about will happen with the new consoles, since I assume it will split the PC controller standard into 360 and possibly the XBox One?

Died on 1-1 today. 1-freaking-1. I always seem to die to arrow traps knocking me into spikes. There have been a ton of those lately.

It looks like they stopped, but can't announce it, because there is no surrender in Dota.

I'd love to get in the group as well. Although I am generally terrible. Died to the latest challenge by slowly falling into the Abyss with a cape. There is plenty of time to reflect on how everything went wrong. Edit: And not even realize you can save yourself with ropes. Blast it all!

It seems like many players I talk to don't realize the communication problem isn't all Russians, it's really the kind of person who will queue for a language they don't speak. I'm sure there would be plenty of English speakers that would do the same to the Russian queues if the perception was that they were "better" players or had a faster queue.

Yes, Dota has some of the highest highs and lowest lows I've had in gaming. I'm a fan of supports as well, as long as the team doesn't just expect warding. In some cases I end up trying to ward after someone requests it, get found and ganked, and then get blamed for both not warding and feeding. :-P Of course in games like that, requesting an escort is met with silence. But overall, playing is well worth it. I've met some fun people to play with. As long as you don't mind losing, you have fun most of the time.
