Lecter:

If they nerfed Ghost, they probably nerfed me too...

(Though at this point, I imagine nerfing would be an upgrade)

@Inc: Was more joking than anything else. It will just take some getting used to. I used to rely heavily on being able to quickly get to 0 velocity without going backwards.

I don't really want the devs to waste time on adding a disable reverse option in.

Doesn't the space bar still do that? (Default mapped to Brakes instead of X=reverse)

Aye, but it also kills your strafing.

I am going to be such a bumbler, the last I recall playing there were only a small handful of sectors and a single trade run let you buy everything you wanted. Though we'll see if I've forgotten how to bus-duel.

@pr: What tarenty said. Need to be able to do it without killing strafes.

Sorry I missed everything. Let the excuse thread begin!

Excuse Attempt #1: Unfortunately I was completely sober all weekend and, thus, was unable to recover my equilibrium enough to recall my password.

Excuse Attempt #2: Would have been fun to come back and slaughter all of you mercilessly with my Lumbering Lebertaur® or possibly my last remaining pre-pre-pre nerf Valk Rune which I mainly kept around solely to gloat to Lecter. But I misplaced the house keys and was locked out of the house for 42 hours with nothing to eat but box elder bugs, and had to fight off coyotes with sharpened pencils overnight when I slept under my porch.

Excuse Attempt #3: Sadly, the one person I rely on to give me ingame news, Chi, failed to give me the appropriate constant reminders and prodding that would have resulted in me logging in to use VO as a graphics-intensive chat client.

Excuse Attempt #4: Sunspots.

Excuse Attempt #5: I've developed horrible social phobia and can't bear to communicate with others unless it's through two intermediaries. Which would make combat difficult:
Me: Strafe Left!
Intermediary #1: Leebs Says Strafe Left!
Intermediary #2: <strafes left into asteroid, explodes>
Denji: Yep, that's definitely Leebs...

So, I have given you five completely valid and factually accurate reasons as to why I was unable to attend this wholesome and family-friendly "reunion" event.

So, anyway, tequila shots all around and we'll have a toast:

Here's to you and here's to me
Friends we shall always be...
... but if we ever disagree,
fuck you and here's to me!
