The beta/alpha had bugs but nothing that was gamebreaking for me, which is key. Rage on the other hand had major problems for a significant amount of people. I'm with Thompson on being pretty satisfied with what I've seen. My only real gripe with the game to be honest is lack of an auto-join function in battlelog.

Watch Feat of Clay, or Heart of Ice. Another great episode is Beware the Grey Ghost, which definitely has Adam west playing a washed up actor who's career is in the dumps because everyone remembers him as the superhero he used to play on tv. I might be a massive Batman: TAS nerd...

smgs are really the only issue for me. I actually was fine with metro, but this probably also has something to do with the fact that I vastly prefer rush to conquest. Caspian was fun for trying planes out, but conquest isn't quite my cup of tea. I did however jump a jeep into a low hovering helicopter and immediately quip that i was "out of bullets." So totally worth it there. Oh and on Metro, the beta version was actually much better balanced than the alpha version. I saw that map won twice in alpha. People actually had a chance to win this time. Also: http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-system-requirements/

I'll admit that quick match actually works really well in this. But if you're trying to join a specific server you like, it's horrendous, no option to auto-join that I've been able to find. Plus I just hate leaving firefox open in the background. The actual social stuff seems fine though.

I don't pay much attention unless I know I'm close to an unlock. I do prefer unlocking things for individual weapons though. Instead of the whole "I just got the 4x scope for everything, time to win" thing from bc2.

revives are the best change, I like being able to kill people that are getting up instead of them being a shield of invincibility.

It's a different animal from bc2. The unlocks are there, but it feels different gameplay wise.

beta is live, battlelog still a pain in the ass. Played a few rounds, weird seeing teams on offense actually winning. Also totally removed the apc that was in this map.

marking could be useful when ghosting, especially when paired with x-ray vision.

There's some vents on the sides, it's hard to get across but possible. I tried it, got killed. Next time i just threw a gas grenade and knocked them all out.

Dead Island single player is really kind of a waste. It's a much harder game in co-op which really lends itself to the zombie theme. A lot of the fun in the game really is derived from playing with a couple buddies.

No, but you can get a lot of them.

I'm noticing that going back and listening to old episodes. Everything flows smoothly.

and I thought I was being funny when I punched him after talking to him.

It surprises me that anyone cares about achievements

wow, after today's patch I can run the game with everything to max buttery smooth.

I kept accidentally blowing up the generators or whatever

2nd is super shitty if you don't get dermal armor for the electricity immunity.

First is easiest. However, keep a revolver around and mod it with explosive rounds for easy wins. Keep mines around too.

More or less correct. Though I'm much more concerned with the extremeness of the right.

Of course, if one of those assholes won and messed stuff up, people would just blame Obama for it all.

Decided to check out other maximum fun shows after listening to Mbmbam for a while, Stop Podcasting Yourself is pretty great if you're looking for comedy. http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/stop-podcasting-yourself

I think every commercial for dating sims should just be the 30 Rock episode where James Franco is in love with a body pillow.

Perhaps you pulled a frankenstein and accidentally choked him to death when you picked him up.

I had like 90 mines that I took from the guy who wanted to bomb the police hq that i kept with me.
