Title: GOIO youtube RAGE!
Post by: The Churrosaur on August 08, 2013, 02:28:49 am
A few minutes ago i tried watching some of the new (ish) youtube "battle royale"'s ...

I watched, in horror, as flak-fish after merc-squid paraded past my screen, as pilots rammed with squids, and gatlings were ordered to fire at baloons. Finally, as a squad of British buffgineers danced a jig around a burning hull, I crumpled off my chair and curled into a fetal position on the floor...

Later, a stubborn powder monkey simply refused to shoot at anything but the rigging on a pyramidion. When, enraged, I asked whar he was doing in match chat he replied: "sawing off the balloon. any n00b who watches the yogscast knows that..."

I will find you.

I will kill you.

Vent here.

I have noticed my ship hasn't been taking much damage in PUG's. I went through a loosing Paritian Rumble match without dying once. They popped our balloon a lot and we managed to kill them a couple of times, but at the end of the game we still had 50% perma-hull on the ship we spawned with. Our ally was too busy crashing into building and being completely useless to swing the game in our favor.

Everyone knows that the only thing better than 1 flamethrower on a Mobula is 5 flamethrowers on a Mobula or 15 flamethrowers on 3 Mobulas.

I mean, I know they must have not played the game very much, if at all. But I remember when I started playing at least knowing or quickly picking up things like ship layouts and damage type concepts.

I love the Yogscast videos but part of that is I've watched their stuff forever... but yes, I was cringing hard while I watched almost every single shot to come out of a gatling gun go straight into balloons. Most of the kills seem to be on accident. Love those guys ;P
