As late as it is this is a pretty good writeup of the game
Can't wait for the SS13 remake
It doesn't really catch what the game is about imo.
...what IS the game about?
honking
Should i try this? I assume it's well alive?

Apparently this is on TG but the NarSie is smaller. This article must have been written ages ago. To people who are considering playing, just remember that this game is old but has made it so enjoyable because of the constant open source updates to it; and there can be servers that are completely different, such as Goon and TG. Expect depth that sacrifices some intuitive design (To be honest, being on a crappy platform such that is BYOND doesn't help, but there have been steps to making it better) for the sense of wanting to learn everything there is to know. Also you can enable WASD moving by TAB, but to talk you'll need to use T; instead of just typing. Here's the General Games thread for SS13: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1234340[/url]
I've been playing since close to the start and TG came out on top in my opinion.
this smells like new griffing targets get deadsnipe on the line older versions of the game were more fun imo, unarmed combat is nerfed as fuck right now, previously a good clown could kill an entire squad of nuke ops with disarming pulling and banana peels
Clowns are quite new compared to when I started and I think I even started quite a while after SS13 had a fan base. Where walking down a corridor took 30 seconds and so did attacking someone.

DAC for Hulk always and bombs that map wipe.
I remember when I was a scrub I meant to help someone that had passed out from a hull breach. I pulled him into the kitchen and I couldn't figure out how to let him go. So in my frantic clicking I accidentally threw him into a fire that someone had started.
If there was a lag free SS13 with a better UI that'd be the greatest game ever
I want to like SS13 but I really wish it were in its own, non-laggy engine. I'm not asking for a graphical update but the engine they're using is pretty terrible, I'm surprised the community as persevered.
Only real issue with SS13 is Byond. It's laggy as fuck. I love the game, though I'm about as robust as tissue paper.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;39412596]...what IS the game about?[/QUOTE] pretending you're doing your station duty when you're really only fucking with whatever you can find and ruining the plans of your superiors, and killing people with a toolbox in the maintenance tunnels
Being a complete noob at this is tough. I tried removing all the air vents, but sadly it didn't make everyone choke :(

It's the mid and lategame that really differs between servers. Really bad shit that happens, antagonists, etc.
goonstation is very different, especially the computers and electirics are pretty hard to get into.
Almost an entire page without the (non honk) two videos that perfectly sum up SS13? Shameful. [video=youtube;7M-JPH5SOmI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M-JPH5SOmI[/video] [video=youtube;sZ1W8j9b4jo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ1W8j9b4jo[/video]
Alright I managed to host my own server but it ate all of my internet width. and the map seemed a bit big for 6 people
