Day one.

Do we get to say that there's something profoundly wrong in a magnificently right way at Arrowhead now? I wonder what it'll be like gameplay wise.

Brilliant.

Any other words would merely sully the simplicity of its truth.

Am I correct that this is about taking the piss out of one of the newer Battlefield games?

I think we're all missing the real point here - Look in the background - there's a herlicopter fighting a dragon.


You can see where I'm going with this.

I would like to know what Arrowhead are smoking, and furthermore where I might acquire some of this bizarre herb.
I own Magicka, but I haven't yet had a chance to play - is it still as buggy as I've heard?

Robes + pyromania inspiring magic + heavy weapons + Vietnam setting = What are they smoking there?! And when can I pre-order?

Is that a real song or was it made for the trailer?

Where can I get a wallpaper version of that trailer final image?!

It's a spoof on Surfin' Bird by the Trashmen, as popularized in Full Metal Jacket.

Just watched the trailer. Holy shit. They've made a new Cannon Fodder, that isn't actually the new Cannon Fodder.

Depends what you heard. It's fairly stable in multi and completely stable in single-player. Used to be much worse.

After almost 2 weeks of near daily patching it's actually quite stable.

Why are there a pair of F-22s flying overhead in that last few seconds of the trailer? -_-

I mean, in-game a second before, it was an F-4 shadow immediately preceding the napalm strike. F-4s are good and appropriate. F-22s? Not so much.

The fireball spell has been replaced by summon F-22.

Why on earth would you complain about anachronistic aircraft in a trailer for a game about arcane robed wizards fighting in Vietnam?

Obviously the magic summons the F-22s from the future.

"From the masters of...well, actually, it's their first game."

Win.

I just realized something hilarious:

Not only are they wearing helmets and flak jackets over their robes, but their staves are actually American Flags.

Just read the small print on the poster:
