Keith, I'm still trying to get you one.

Apparently, the guy that was offering only had 1 key, and he said he wanted to give it to Coppermantis out of fairness (it wouldn't be right to give you a key and neglect your wife).  So I'll keep looking for you two.

Oh, ok.  Don't worry about it, we're not lacking in video games to play :)  But if a couple keys were to materialize, we'd use them.

Oh...I guess that makes sense, but I feel a little guilty now.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Don't worry, the guilt will go away when you realize the time went into honing AIW's blades instead.

Well, maybe, depending on how you feel about all that player-blood on your hands ;)

More blood is always good.

Absolutely :) 

Though I did just find "Gimbal" here (that's a time-limited pay-what-you-want, if you're at all interested) and that may sate my "hop in and (get) devestate(d by) some bots" desires for a while.  Figuring out where to put the thrusters was a game in and of itself!

Mentioning it here because when I saw "team multiplayer", "intricate ship design", and "totally unforgiving physics model" I thought "Wingflier" ;)

In other news I am bad at this game. I can do...okay versus easy AIs. My team wins, but I die more often than I'd like. I know the basics from watching LoL and reading DotA 2 guides, so I'm not a total failure.

I think it's my tendency to overextend and get hit by a billion stuns and surrounded. I don't dare get anywhere near team games yet because all I would do would be feed the enemy and get yelled at.

Fun game though.

Just "found" an extra key myself.  I only have 1 though, but if Lancefighter doesn't give you two, I can hook you up with the other.

Too bad that this is totally not my genre. I'll stick with TD =)

All you moba lovers here is a new release on steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/90530 I won't be getting this since I'm not into the genre, but I bought both the board game and the card game, that's why I notice the familiar name. However I must admit that both physical game were kind of meh, the card one even more so.

Let's see if petroglyph finally was able to pull of something worthy with their universe.
