I think I'm getting the hang of my Atlas DC.

My final match in it Monday night I went 4-5 with 1201 damage and a 140 or 150 something match score.

This morning I woke up early and after answering some emails had time to fit a match in and played in it. I went 4-5 with 1239 damage and a 160 match score.

I finally have the energy to get into a game for the first time in 3 days and it says the servers are down because Stranger was surfing gay porn on them and they got malware. What the hell, Stranger.

I checked an hour after you posted that message and there was a quick patch and the servers were up. You weren't on and I was/am sick under the weather so I went to bed.

50% chance I'll be on tonight and 100% I'm back this weekend.

Also, there's another Town Hall tonight.

yeah, I jumped on somewhere between 9:30 and 10 and it was online. Also, this was the patch with VOIP enabled. I played about 10 or so games and for the most part people weren't using it so much, there were a few games where nobody said a word the whole match. Those games that it was used it was an occasional guy calling a target or spotting an enemy somewhere. In all its pretty cool but only in one game did someone that knew what they were doing step up and make shot calls, we wrecked face that game too! The power of communication and a good drop commander will win 9 times out of 10, I'm sure of it.

WVR-6K is supposedly the new Thunderbolt-9S.

Mining Collective map is currently turned off due to the latest patch.

This weekend's challenge might have something to do with a Raven Champ.

That will probably happen, just like in every other game ever with comms. That's why there's a mute feature.

good thing about that is you can mute anybody at anytime. Just press the tab key and click on the symbol next to their name. And we can still be in our personal TS channel and still use the VOIP. Its push to talk using the Caps Lock button

First thought, "Och," second thought.... easier now that I have a couple Mastered Stalkers. It's a rare game I don't get a kill and assist.

Well, rarer than it used to be.

I'm in. See you this weekend.

It will be interesting to see if they extend this into next weekend seeing that getting to 50 is just insane. I see they also lowered the prize point on the mech from 30 to 25 qualifying games, that's really all I care about, the cockpit item and camo are pointless. Never the less, its an easy 3 days premium.

Wife is leaving for Orlando for a week, Friday or Saturday, depending on the weather.

I will be gaming naked and covered in Cheetos dust, fyi.
