It's a decision that's causing more than a few headaches for Rein. "I'm proud of the contest, but I'm a little bit disappointed in ourselves, because we're totally overwhelmed with the number of entries we've had.

One thing i find hard though, is the poor n00b is trying so hard to play, its hard to give them a "2nd fire to pass" message that they actually see
Wasn't there talk of a tutorial being made? One with the annoying Epic woman talking over some video footage or something? That would be great. And maybe we need to update the announcer voice as well - he needs a bigger vocab!
