The new melee has been taking place, the game price has been dropped down to $9.99 on official site and STEAM. Demo accounts has NO timer anymore, so it's basically free to play! Yes, the game has been hell' lot of better, totally re-done melee system, new maps, and lots of new features and more to come!


PS: For those who receive a white screen, please update your graphic card driver, it will fix the problem, thank you!


What is Savage 2?
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is the sequel to the often-ignored and rarely-noticed action-strategy game Savage: The Battle for Newerth. It takes the best of the FPS, RTS, and RPG genres and blends them seamlessly into an extremely addictive and complex experience. Anyone who's seen either game in action knows that each match is full of possibilities for epic moments and amazing displays of skill and strategy. Savage 2 improves on the original concept by balancing out key game play elements such as melee and ranged combat, making each character class unique, expanding the quantity and viability of the support roles, and overall creating a more cohesive experience.

Melee Overview (*changed*):

Latest update:

Version 1.7.1
---------------------
Fixes:
- Fixed several crashes
- Fixed a couple of memory leaks
- Fixed an issue on the main browser interface that prevented the scroll bars from working
- Fixed incorrect price tag on the rune builder when you mouse over it

Siege:
- Siege units are no longer slowed when hitting enemy structures

Block:
- The attack speed debuff applied when an attacking player hits a block now stacks and lasts for 2.5 seconds.
* This means that the more you attack a blocking player, the slower your attacks will become
* The movement speed part of this debuff was changed to 85% of normal, up from 60%
* This debuff now allows for dodging and charging (previously you could not dodge or charge with its effects on you)
- The attack speed buff applied to the blocking player when successfully blocking an attack now stacks
* This means that if you block multiple attacks in rapid succession, you will attack much faster than if you only blocked one attack
* This buff now increases attack speed by 20% rather than 15%

Quick attack:
- Hitting an opponent with quick attack will refund that attacks' stamina cost
- Hitting non-blocking opponents with Quick Attack will restore some of the block meter

Jump Attack:
- Hitting non-blocking opponents with Jump Attack will restore some of the block meter


Storm map:
- Lowered some terrain so behemoths can fit under the bridges

I'm downloading now. Supposedly the community is pretty strong with a good 500+ people online.

A 19-year-old man has committed suicide live on the internet encouraged by others who were watching, according to reports.

The teenager, named as Abraham K Biggs, from Broward County, Florida, took an overdose of pills while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, a live video streaming website.

On a chat forum he told others he was going to commit suicide and posted a suicide note on another forum before taking the pills and turning on his webcam.

The 19-year-old lay on his bed and only after several hours of no movement did others begin to take him seriously. With the video still running, forum members managed to contact the local police who eventually broke down the door, found the body and switched off the camera. Up to 1,500 people were viewing the feed, according to one report.

Game Types/Rules (tip):[/B]

Shoppa
Shoppa is a gametype in which you must collect one crate before attacking (cba), attack from the rope (afr), and then, depending on rules specified, either kill the leading player or attack everyone but the last player (ktl & abl respectively).

Shoppa first appeared in the late 1990s and has since become one of the most popular online game modes in Worms World Party. The main rules to Shoppa are CBA , AFR, KTL/ABL. CBA stands for Crate before Attack, this means the player must collect a weapon crate before attacking the enemy. AFR stands for Attack from Rope, this means the player must launch the weapon of choice while swinging from a Ninja Rope, however some weapons such as the Shotgun, Flamethrower and Firepunch are exempt from this rule. KTL/ABL stands for Kill the Leader/All but Last, meaning the person who is winning the game is the target (or anyone but the player in last place). Anyone can be attacked as long as the leader suffers damage, even slightly. The leader on his turn, will target the player in second place.

If a player breaks one or more of these rules then that player is the "Cow". The other players (on the ingame chat) should say "Cow" to notify a break in the rules. the "Cow" will have to skip their next turn in accordance to the rules. if the "Cow" does not skip, then other players may KTC (Kill the Cow) in which all players attack the "Cow" to remove him or her from the game.

"Knocking" refers to when a player will push another worm without the use of a weapon. This technique involves letting go of the Ninja Rope so that the players worm falls into another worm causing the latter worm to be pushed, usually off an edge or into an obstacle. The players worm will also slide along with the pushed worm, in which if they go off the edge of the terrain, the knocking worm may use a parachute so as not to fall along with the knocked worm. This technique is not an attack.


WxW
WxW is based upon the same rules as those of a shoppa game, except a lot more skill is required and one must touch a certain number of walls before attacking. To those who play wxw, shoppa becomes a relatively boring and uneasy game and is therefore commonly associated with noobs.


RopeRace
RopeRace is based upon a maze-like map containing a start and a finish. The rules for this game are, must place your worms at the start, no rope knocking (knocking other worms (yours or your opponent's) and first to the finish wins. Another version of this is TimeTrial RopeRace, in which you have infinite time to complete the level. Once all worms have had a single turn, whoever made it to the finish in the least amount of time wins.


Fly
Fly is based upon the same rules as those of a Shoppa game, however, an extra rule (FBA) is added. The player must "Fly" over the centre point of the map, which will most likely be a high or wide object. Techniques of flying include letting go of the ninja rope just after bouncing off a wall to send the worm flying, or swinging around a loose pixel.

marathons
in life, there are certain milestones of physical activity that can define you. A sub 5 second 40 yard dash, a 40 inch vertical leap and so forth. To a white person, the absolute pinnacle of fitness is to run a marathon. Not to win, just to run.

White people will train for months, telling everyone who will listen about how they get up early in the morning, they run when it rains, how it makes them feels so great and gives them energy.

When they finish the marathon, they will generally take a photo of themselves in a pair of New Balance sneakers, running shorts, and their marathon number with both hands over their head in triumph (seriously, look it up, this is universal).

If you want to understand white people, you need to understand indie music. As mentioned before, white people hate anything that’s “mainstream” and are desperate to find things that are more genuine, unique, and reflective of their experiences. Fortunately, they have independent music.
A white person’s iPod (formerly CD collection) is not merely an assemblage of music that they enjoy. It is what defines them as a person. They are always on the look out for the latest hot band that no one has heard of so that one day, they can hit it just right and be into a band BEFORE they are featured in an Apple commercial. To a white person, being a fan of a band before they get popular is one of the most important things they can do with their life. They can hold it over their friends forever!
Indie music also produces a lot of concerts, for which white people can attend and meet other white people. It’s especially useful, since they are attending the same concert, they both like the artist and can easily strike up a conversation that will flow from band at the show->other bands they like->where they went to/go to school->where to get the best vegan food in town->agreement to meet at said restaurant for awkward date.
It is worth noting that white people are expected to stay current with music and go to concerts well into their 40s. Unlike at dance or hip hop clubs, there are few stigmas attached to being the “old guy at the club.”
But BE WARNED, talking about Indie Music with white people is perhaps the most dangerous subject you touch upon. One false move and you will lose their respect and admiration forever. Here are some general rules

    * Bands that have had their songs in an Apple ad are still marginally acceptable
    * Bands that have had their songs in ads for other companies are not acceptable
    * If you mention a band you like and the other person has heard of them, you lose. They own you. It is essential that you like the most obscure music possible.

Remember, popular artists can turn unpopular in a heartbeat (Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, The Strokes), so you would be best to stick to the following statements: “I love the Arcade Fire,” “I still think the Montreal scene is the best in the world,” “I would die without Stereogum or Fluxblog“* and “Joanna Newsom is maybe the most original artist today.”
*-do not substitute Stereogum for Pitchfork, as this is one of those things that used to be cool, but is now not cool.

Btw...Instant win! http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/39-apple-products/
