We finally have a video! That means we're basically our own game studio at this point, so we'll start expecting you to fork over $20 in order to play Siege. That cost will apply retroactively. We had actually been working on this for a while, but it took us until now to realize that all of our voices suck in comparison to that of our sugar daddy J's. The video is designed to work as a very basic intro to Siege. So if you hear any noobs asking, refer them to the video (found by going to !motd on the server of course).

Nin was just recognized for his contributions to NS2 by UWE, in the form of being awarded Squad 5. For those of you who don't know, Squad 5 is an award given to "community members who contribute in notable ways, often going above and beyond what a typical member might do." There are three levels; blue, silver, and gold; with each level happening with additional recognition. Nin just earned his blue badge, but there's no doubt that he'll be recognised more in the future. For more details, check out the UWE blog over here:
