Turns out there's also an android APK available of parsec, which basically means that you don't even need to be on your computer to join multiplayer games. You'll need to connect a keyboard to your phone somehow (I had an OTG adapter laying around), but a bluetooth one should work too. Tested it by connecting to my own laptop and while there were some stutters and the stream quality wasn't great, the actual input lag was minimal despite my non-stellar internet, and the game itself was very much playable.

Probably not as major as the other uses of the software but I thought this was another pretty damn cool feature to it.

Over at AHOL a few of us decided to give this a go. We made some ridiculous bots and did some melees.
Barry Chuckle Jr (Overhead tri-bar spinner) - Myself
gayboy - (Mech vert) - TheRoboteer
CPU Black heart - (10wd NPC Fast rammer) - Sev
Spyder (Moros vert) - Badwolf
Qwe - Thwack bot - EvilToaster.

Here's a few matches we had.


Other things that happened, TR and I decided to fight each other with some AW partners. We both lost to them AWs. Bocuma 3 got split in half.
This is the most fun I've had playing Ra2. I hope it continues.

I just noticed that the only taskbar'd browser is IE or Edge, too. Don't suppose you could go ahead and kill whoever the host was?

*Edit:* And he still has that windows store thing pinned to his taskbar. Not to mention he was playing RA2 windowed, in the first place. I shouldn't have been able to see this mess. I feel ill.

in his defense ra2 seems to crash a lot more in fullscreen when hosting with parsec.

Believe me, it was crashing enough as it was. Basically every fight crashed at least once on loading.

That's weird. We never had that problem when we did the tournament.

IDK if it was an issue with the host's PC or something with parsec. I'm tentatively assuming the former but IDK

That's awesome. Definitely would love to see how a tournament would go down, now.

for something that was supposed to save RA2 this died rather quickly, it is a rather sad observation because online would indeed make this game considerably more interesting
