A couple of us are a bit hooked on the FPS game Ballistic Overkill and we did a livestream on Twitch the other night to show it off some more. It's now on Youtube for you to laugh at us.

It does have issues, but it's still some pretty solid fun to be had.

The main thing is how well it performs, and I'm not talking about my beast. It runs well on both AMD and Nvidia and has a pretty decent framerate. A quote from Samsai during the stream "This game runs awesome on basically anything".

Issues
- You have to exit a game to adjust any settings
- I joined a game where I couldn't move (some sort of desync)
- It's Early Access

To quote the wise once again Samsai "Well this game is already cool". Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I already want to buy it but I promised myself to stop bloating up my library with early access games. How much longer until this hits release?

This game looks really good. I watched the stream you did the other night, however the lack of players is a concern.

Ah shit, I'll do it. Perhaps I will have an opportunity to frag you :D

I bought it and have played a couple hours of it. The swords are too OP, imo, after they upped the damage on it. You run around invisible leaving ghosts of you behind with an over damaging sword. It takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. I do like it, though. I've been on and most everyone had swords. Guys with guns didn't have a chance.
