Patch! WOOHOO!
You know, if there is one thing I'm disappointed about, it's the lack of deathmatch. I've been burnt out on DM for years, and normally don't care about the lack of it in a game, but Magicka lets you be a teetotal dick to your friends and loved ones with such style and panache, it's a shame you don't get points for killing them off.
It is my understanding from the Steam boards that completing the campaign unlocks a Duel mode. Either co-op or single player is fine.

The 360 controller is more fluid than I expected it to be, though certainly not as fast as the keyboard.
It's great to see a development team (especially such a small one) that's so committed to fixing the bugs (Though to be honest I haven't seen any yet). We're supposed to have a fourth patch out tonight.

Juusoko on steam, it's impossible to know who's who in Steam so, just add me, if you already haven't (going for all Magicka players).

I am just logging into steam now. Ready when you guys are.

I bought it just before its release. Thank you very much, Rock Paper Shotgun!
Haven't had the chance to play it too much, but I've had some great, lulzy moments. One of them went kind of like this:
*friend picks up Thunderbolt spell and casts it; I see nothing*
Him: Did you see that?
Me: No, I didn't see it. I heard it, though. Try it again.
*he casts it again, and the next thing I know, I just got hit for 9000 damage and a "One in a million chance..." achievement*
We both broke down laughing for several seconds at the sheer irony.
Another moment was similar to one of the 5 screw-ups that RPS said WILL happen to you.
Me: I'm about to put up a bubble shield! Get next to me!
*I throw up the shield, but he fires an arcane bolt right after, which bounces around inside the shield and instagibs him*
The latency between the US and Kuwait probably doesn't help things too much, but honestly, the best part of this game is watching epic fail ensue in the most unexpected ways.
It is unoptimized and a bit crash-prone, though (especially if you Alt-Tab). I don't know if today's patch has mitigated that yet.

I have yet to encounter these bugs and crashes, thankfully. And they patched the shit out of it yesterday, too!
