Gunbound!

it's fun but man I've never played a game where there was such an affluent amount of whiners

Anyway the Avatar is so damn expensive lol But all around a fun game.

I greatly enjoy Gunbound and couldn't agree more about the greneral populace of the servers. While help and even constructive criticism are welcome, nothing gets me more than the self appointed keyboard generals who tell everyone who and how to kill and throw out that oh so handy condemnation, n00b, when you don't measure up to their oh so 1337 skills. I've come to the point where I pay almost no attention to the chat corner. If I do notice something intended to chastise me, I tend to fall back on a couple of very clever witticisms, "whatever" and "it happens".

If you are playing enough to try to build a nice avatar, go for a money suit first. Stats are capped at 50 so shoot for that. You will see a lot of identical suits on the money only servers - punky brown hair, hawaiin wear, red nose and vampire casket. This gives you a 51 money stat which is capped at 50. Just to be a little different, I went for the conga instead of the casket. Once you have the money suit, you can play the avatar off servers to build cash for another suit built toward whatever stats you want to enhance. I just got an ox shield and am going for a pet-02 next. I want to build a 50 defense suit with as much health as I can add to the mix. You might even find you like to play the avatar off servers, as do I, because then you are playing against the bot/player and not the avatar.

As you said, it does all come down to the fun. I often get some real giggles playing. Some of the things that happen catch me off guard and I find myself truly LOL. Some of what you witness is kind of like watching a guy slip on the proverbial banana peel - you know that you should feel sorry for their misfortune but you find a laugh slipping out of you anyway. A couple days ago, I missed a screenshot because the screenshot key doesn't work. I didn't think to grab it to the clipboard. There is one map where bots often start buried due to a glitch. One of the players was in a boomer and was completely covered. A guy in an aduka used the shot (ss?) that flies through everything but other bots. It hit the boomer and left a nice circular bubble inside the land that the boomer could move around in. At the moment, that struck me as funny as anything I had seen in quite a while.
