Man. Hour long game that started around 8:30..
Marines gave up in the end, defeated by a foe far worse than aliens: fatigue.
Mad props to Newborn for crazy endurance comming.

Pure NS right here.



My relatively low score comes from being slotted, not being lazy.... :p

It should happen more often! Often enough to stop people making threads about each one there is.
Not that I mind :)

*becomes nastalgic* REminds me of the good old days of NS 1.04, where games that lasted 45 minutes were common, and epic battles that lasted 2.5 hours were enjoyed by all....

I do miss the epic NS games of yore. I must have played in bunches of 2hr+ games, and at least one 3hr game back around 1.0x. Those were the days.

Even I was tuckered out at the end of that game, and Newborn was so fed up he finally said "screw it" got out of the comm chair, and threw himself into the pit. The game turned when onos #18 came in and destroyed our advanced armory, sealing our fates. :(

Yeah that's what I was trying to say... I certainly hope not.
And if this is the case, then we can only blame the NS devs for not fixing the game! :D

I have lots of good 15-20 minute games, even on the losing side, some games are just satisfying if you know you did a good job, tryed your best, but in the end were outclassed by a flawless preformance on the other team.  I have also had lots of terrible 40-60 minute games in which one team gives up 10 minutes in and just lames the hell out of some indescriminate base area killing anything that enters moving.

Good short games and crappy long games aren't all that uncommon.  Good long games are.

Wish I had been there for it.  Been too long since I've had a good long game....
