Celebrating Independence...

[xel_otath]

There's no better way to remember Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum fighting off the alien mothership than with explosives, liquor, two parties, some Ur-Quan Masters*, and being sweet on the woman you love. In all seriousness, independence may be an illusion or whatever, but either as free beings or as controlled masses, we've got it pretty good here

The list of activities above failed to include a reenactment of 4p melee with Roman Candles. We Americans are silly creatures, and this is about the only context in which I can identify with my nationality. Shooting fireworks at my friends who are into that sort of thing while they shoot fireworks at me. So much fun, so little brains.

Soooooo I downloaded it. And I don't really know what I'm doing. :P

The controls are pretty simple. They're mapped to arrow buttons and lower num pad. the single player is really fun and really huge, but the 2p battles are really fun. I guess you'd kinda have to get on some kind of chat program with me so we can trade ip addresses and port numbers, know when each other is online, and other such things. I downloaded Skype but I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet. Also, i don't think I have a working mic. But yeah, the Super Melee is really fun. The design is so simple, yet the ships are so various in what they can do and in what they are capable of.

Well I'll have to figure out how to reconfigure the controls. Since I'm on a laptop, I don't actually have a numpad without pressing the function key, which is awkward.

No numlock equivalent... Quite a quandry...
