Joystiq,

You'll be letting me know when you get some beta codes, won't you?...

I mean, we've been friends for a long time, and I know you'd want to give me the chance to play MAG before others... I know I'm your 'favorite'.

@ Paul

Listen, I'm already in charge of the Modern Warfare 2 sweatshop. They barely even trust you to comment on their blog!

You can't hold a candle to me...

So here's the thing Wiizer, as far as PS3 beats go, I'm King of the Castle around here. I've already been on in the LBP and Uncharted betas this year and well, I've got the experience. It's clear where your allegiance lies as far as FPS's are concerned anyway. So why don't you go back to minding your little sweatshop over there, I'm sure business is boomin', and let the big boys take over, aight?

Joystiq is going to definitely give ME a code because if my dad sees there's a MAG beta without him and (his clan) in it, he'll throw his controller at someone. That'd be bad.

tre,

Your Dad's nerd rage may put you in harm's way, but it misses one very important point to become relevant:

It doesn't effect me! Now, you can either join the Wiizer Revolution or be left behind...

Your call.

You don't need to know how to spell to be accepted into a beta!

Besides, would you sooner risk all your employees (slaves) quitting (escaping) while you're distracted by the MAG beta? I should think not, sir.

Now. Weigh the consequences and CHOOSE!

My PS3 has a red button under the flap where the memory slots are located that says "Can has beta" on it. I just have to push that and I'll be in. Sorry if your PS3s don't have that feature.

You're punching air, Wiizer. I already left, and with the small amount of money I got, I got myself a Dr Pepper at Burger King.

I'm takin this sweatshop down.

The unfair treatment of your employees is absolutely unacceptable. At the very least, some sort of bottled sewer water should be provided should they need to visit your offices at the center of the Earth.

Also, as it pertains to, as you put it "Fists to the FACE", it should only be permitted that, when applying said fist to an employee's face, the opposite fist be used during a second punch so as to not injure the person throwing the punch.

We have to look out for everyone after all.

honestly, I think MAG is a really ambitious project, something I'd definitely wanna beta test ;]

a bit off topic though: I just logged on to my PS3 for the first time in a while, and I can't find Fat Princess, where is it? and to those that bought it, is it worth it???

With the news of how big the Socom community is, this game will be the only game that could possibly kill it. I say that only hoping Zipper comes through on this game.

Yeah, MAG beta with Uncharted 2.

Makes sense. And no-one can say that they're tying it to a shit game.
