You probably had to be there.

So I picked up MechAssault a couple of months ago when it came out at the company store and played it a little while when we got it, but that's only so much fun particularly given that you can only play two people at once locally, and smeehrrr hasn't hosted gaming in a while, so now that we finally have XBOX Live, I'm enjoying the game a lot.

Anyway, I was playing on a bunch of games tonight after doing a lot of research on Chinese typography (and finding nothing so far - any suggestions for stuff I can find quickly? As in the next two days?) and cdragon ran the first one I jumped in on; I played a Kitfox and got killed a lot, like usual, which is no good because I love playing the Kitfox. But the weaponry is just... hopeless. So the next game, I played a Mad Dog and came in second, which is great. That game was fun, because four of 'em picked Elementals, which are basically power armour and generally kind of useless. (No, I did not come in second by picking on Elementals.)

Then we decided to play an all-Elementals game with mostly the same group, just for the hell of it. And I was doing really well in that, since I fly well and target well flying; the best sequence for me was shooting another Elemental out of the air while flying. (They have jetpacks.) But then with about six minutes left, cdragon declared "okay ONLY LASERS!" and we all went to firing only lasers and suddenly we all turned into really badly choreographed Star Wars infantry. And it really looked like Star Wars, too, because the elemental lasers turn different colours when you get power-ups. So there were green and red and purple lasers flying about every random-ass direction and nobody could hit anything and it was unbelievably funny. At least, to me. ^_^

I like cdragon. ^_^
