Way to go Zipper, now you just wrecked the neighborhood ;-)
Good post Elsa, maybe I'll actually get to play my copy of MAG sometime before the end of this month.

Elsa, it is obvious to me that you are simply a power hungry dictator seeking to create a reverse-harem of men all around you.
@WryGuy... hey... leave my fantasies alone! :)
Hey Speednut! Yeah, I noticed you haven't been on MAG much lately. :(
@Kraid... thanks! I've been really, really, really short tempered and cranky lately, so I'm glad this came out as funny.
@Stevil... yeah, most of my career was "administrative". Lots of organizing of peoples (in my early career I managed a pool of about 500 temps), knowing details of outlook calendaring better than any human should, and doing lots of flowcharts, powerpoint presentations and wearing a headset because I was on the phone so much (though this was back in the day of wired headsets and I used to practically strangle myself every time I got up from my desk!). I'm not actually "power hungry"... just organized. I hate disorganization and if anyone else takes charge I'm happy as long as there is some sort of overall plan!!

Funny stuff! I think I will ask wifey to call me Mr. Badwrench from now on.
Also, congrats on the push to quit smoking! I'm one of the most laid-back people I know, but I found myself out for blood in multiplayer for about 2 weeks after quitting. :D
It's been about 2 months for me now -- stay strong, it gets better!

I like playing MP = SP Games i guess?
(( Just because i don't use a mic.
Doesn't mean i don't like my PSN friends/Gamer clan/IRL people. ))
I still FAPPED! :)

Elsa, the men of Destructoid would follow you into battle anytime. If only to her the massive amounts of smack you would lay on fools.
@Walk... my husband and I are both quitting at the same time and using Champix. The drug definitely works (I seem to get no "hit" of nicotein when smoking), but the drug seems to cause sleep problems... so yeah, it's a lot of crankiness around here - but if you're on month 2 of not smoking then I have hope!! Thanks!
LOL! The rest of y'all are so sweet! Your comments always brighten my day!

That flowchart was great. I cracked up. God, that is the weirdest phrase. "Cracked up." It sounds like I'm telling you your flowchart gave some horrible skin disease, or manifested itself as an internal affliction, whacking invisible hammers at my bones. Anyway, that was pretty funny. Bravo.
Yeah the flowchart was great :)
I'm so used to military doctrine, discipline and just barking orders that I can never stand still when my team on BF2142 sucks. Guilds make it that much more fun to me, but at the same time I can't relax from job. :(

I was planning on getting MAG but now I'm a little scared to!! Then again if Warhawk has taught me anything, it is better to play with you then against you :P
I really do wonder when female avatars will become more commonplace in shooter though.

Which do you think would be the better buy, if you were going to war against virtual enemies? MAG, or Battlefield: Bad Company 2? I'm tempted to play one of them after reading this. :)
Jesus lady, no wonder you're retired at 47!
I'm glad we have similar gaming tastes though...you would have probably fired my ass after about a week.

I remember at some point having solved the whole issue of multiplayer team play and using the microphone correctly. Sadly, I wrote this master thesis at GAP so I'm locked out of my own files. Sony owns this important research; yet, it seems they do not know they do. Sony has effectively buried the answer that would solve ALL problems of multiplayer gaming on PSN, thus proving it not just knowing what you know but rather not knowing what you already know that counts.
As for being a leader of men...well that's nice...call me when your king of the apes. ;) (I just Googled 'Queen of the Apes' and there isn't one. Also, no Princess, Cosort, or Concubine of the Apes. This would be just sexist except for the fact that Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, is a queen of an entire jungle thus making her one step above Tarzan having sway over and entire biome.)

LOL! I love your flow charts they are filled of awesome. What happens when you have a party full of women? I am curious what goes down.
@Candace Hinton: Complete and utter chaos. Huge solar flares cause constant and exaggerated natural disasters to occur on Earth and then they airlift a giraffe. And then Africa was just fine so they weren't really sure why they airlifted the giraffe. It sure looked cool, though.
What was your question, again?

I'm a guy but I must say my girl in Fallout 3 is pretty much a bad ass with tits...tits no man has yet to touch. I'm pretty sure it's the Tesla Cannon that's to blame for that.
Nice to see this frontpaged Elsa, right on :)
And judging by the replies, it seems like the male population of Destructoid need to find themselves dominating girls. Just saying...

Enterainment specifically is "focused on selecting high quality online games and adapting, refining, and positioning them" for Western audiences, according to the press release blasted this morning.<a href="http://www.dizifilmleriizle.com" title="dizi izle">dizi izle</a> And it looks like the new group is star-studded: it's a collection of employees from NC Soft who have experience with a variety of different MMOs and even networks like Battle.Net. In case you were wondering, the first MMO they'll bring over is TERA, which is slated for a Korean release in 2010. We await the localization with bated breath.
There are two types of player I like to hear when playing MAG. The first is the team-oriented squad player who assists, gives enemy locations etc.
The second I came across last night - some guy was playing while his girlfriend used the mic & headset. She was rambling on, occasionally singing, prodding other players...nice change from what would've otherwise been a silent squad.

Elsa, I will get MAG on my gamefly queue when I'm done with Heavy Rain, and you can lead me into battle any day. My PSN ID: DrNinja
I finally got MAG back from a buddy, who borrowed it, and left it in his car, didn't even fucking put it in his PS3!!!
I was tres offended.
Finally got it back last night, and oh. my. gawd. It was soooooo fucking good to get back into the war. playing with my clan, working together, flanking round bunkers and sending attack groups in APC's off to the mortars.
I heart MAG.
This was great Elsa, I must keep an eye out for you on the opposing team, you're Raven aren't you? If you're fighting SVER check out the top players at the end, I'll likely be in there.
; )

LOL! Wasn't expecting to see this frontpaged!
On the last chart, I can't take credit... it was something I found when looking for a graphic for this blog and just made some appropriate changes!
@Victor, I tried the beta for both MAG and BF and my own preference was MAG. I like the leadership roles in MAG... how the OIC and Platoon Leaders can talk to everyone... how the squad leaders can set the FRAGO's (FRAgmentary ORders to direct their squad) and I like how being a medic or support repair person is just as important as killing. BF had better graphics and is also an objective based game, but I just like MAG better... personal taste I guess.
@Ali D... I'm actually trying my best to cool it on the "smack talk" - it's just too easy for me to lay into a bunch of idiots in my platoon... "For F's sake, the gate is DOWN, would the idiots taking the APC's for a sunday drive in the country please go THROUGH the damn gates that we took out for you... whatdayawant.... a parade to encourage you to go through the f'ing gates???" - yeah, saying stuff like that just doesn't really help, because these people apparently have their heads so far up their asses that they are obviously blind and deaf.
When you get a good group... the game is magic, when you get the deaf, dumb and blind Helen Keller Circus act for your Platoon... the game is very frustrating and I'm trying to learn to just mellow out, find a good camping spot and roast some marshmallows and a few wienies until that type of game is over! :)
@SexualChocolate... once everyone in the clan gets to 60 we will likely switch factions as a group - likely to SVER. In the meantime, with the new patch, you might not be kicking our Raven asses quite so often!!
