So I'm playing this wackity ass Korean third person shooter.

I've heard it described as "Gunz, but less shitty," and I've never played that so I wouldn't know. I do know that this is a pretty fun game and that y'all should play it with me.

Character gen is terrible, as par for the course with Korean stuff, but either I got shafted with three different types of hairscolor, hoodie, and miniskirt, or there are probably some customization options later. You also get points to buy guns after you do well in games, and are able to upgrade from the standard "flippy reload dual SMGs" and "comically gigantic sword with ground pound power attacks." The music is RETARDEDLY catchy, and I love the announcer's voice. I sort of have no idea what's going on, but I know the green team is at odds with the red team and you have to obliterate the other guys in clouds of green fire and binary. Environments are also reasonably destructable. It's in a state of infancy, now, so I think there's only one or two maps.

Here's a video, I assume most of you will get the idea.

These little robot guys are everywhere. During halftime, you get a show!

WHO'S THAT MAN? WHO'S THAT MAN?

Oh, deathmatches can be way bigger than those screenshots, so it's not usually that boring looking.

I like how my team won three people down.

Gunz got shitty once severe lag and hackers started ruining everything. I got booted once because I was stealing this one hacker's kills. He told everyone I hacked and I was gone in an instant :(

I kinda want to try this, but I don't want to play as an ugly anime 16 year old. At least in Gunz I could rock a faux-western look.

I might try it if my campus network is a little faster when I move back tomorrow. I keep hearing it mentioned here and there. I'd consider it if we can get a some members to play a few matches.

EDIT: The dashing animation is slower? That doesn't make sense! :X

By the way, being Korean in origin this game is chock up the ass full of server bugs, so don't be surprised when the authentication system kicks you out and refuses to let you back in because of timeout errors.

I wouldn't use it with Steam, either, as the anti-hacker technology will see it as something hostile and ban your account. Good thing I didn't bother buying upgrades.
