Agree on Mics, they're not that expensive, I got a nice Gigaware headset marked down from 30 USD and it really does make online gaming easier.

Also, Xbox mics work on PC

All I want is a firm release date already :sadvaultboy:

When we get a release date, once we get closer to it we've got to choose leaders...

The http://apb-evolved.com/news/111-apb-evolved-wednesday-2242010 Q&A is out. You guys should really read these, as they're the only source of new information we have besides the podcasts that take forever to come out. The first Q&A is in the OP.

Why would you need leaders? I'd argue that a community-run system would function much better in this situation.

If that'll cause only half as much trouble as choosing clan names it's going to make for some absolutely hilarious threads

The game will most likely force a a leader title onto someone. So we might as well vote on it.

We need some experienced gamer who can play on it and show new players how to play and make decisions about who should join and clan missions (if there are any, raids?) I myself would prefer to be one of the many deputies

I'll definately be looking out for this one, I'm just hoping my laptop will run it. Should a 2.0 Ghz processor and AMD Athlon thingy do the trick?

We don't know the specs yet but I'd be pretty surprised if an Athlon could run it.

As a result, the mission itself can escalate from a small firefight, to a full on twenty versus twenty street battle, with each side consisting of different groups, combined into what we refer to as a meta-group.

Rewards will then be shared out depending on how long individuals have been involved, as well as their involvement in the overall mission (did they help complete objectives, kill-count, etc).

That sounds pretty sweet. It would be awesome to get a 50 on 50 going somewhere.

This game needs to come out soon, I've got nothing to play.

With my money situation right now, APB has kinda drifted to the back of my mind, but it's still there, poking me with all of it's customizing goodness and saying "Hey...the games you play right now don't have that. Why? Because I'm awesome and they're not. Now do your homework".

See? APB means well.

So have we finally decided on the criminal name yet or do we have to do another poll?

Nope, the results of this poll will determine what the name is. And by the looks of it, it will be The 6th House.

Antibody, you can remove me from the clan. I don't think I'll have enough money to buy this game and a headset.

You don't need a headset. There is an ingame text chatbox. No need in missing out on the entire game because you don't have a headset.

I still probably won't have enough for the game.

Then again, it depends on when the game is released. If it is released before summer, I could get some cash to buy it.

Still quite a while till the game actually comes, as far as we know. Just make sure you can save something trivial, like say $2 a day and before you know it you'll have the $60. I know for me something visual helps, like an actual jar of money. It seems kinda silly but it will remind you about it and you can throw in any spare change you have ATM.

Hey look what I bought you Spanky! A new white coat! Yeah the arms are sort of weird but, just try it on.

Nope, I'm keeping you on the list so you feel obligated to get the game

Make a swear jar

Every time you swear you have to put some money in depending on how bad the word is, it helps you save money and remove a bad habit

Good idea. A swear jar to invest in a game full of crime, violence and probably a lot of swearing.

It'll be a good way to "make" money haha.
