If your wizard level ticket acquisition skills are still intact, I'd be there in a second. We had a great run. Really enjoyed TI's in Seattle!

Fan support will always have a pure motivation edge. It is not a numbers game when its a passion project. Modders really do make games greater. Some of Valve's biggest wins came off the back of the Quake mod community members they hired. Modes like Runequake, and Runes + CTF, Threewave...

HDZ remake is only valid if the Multiplayer Co-op is a super compelling game. Which it could be. If its giant robot monsters and limited loadouts per player, and synergistic gameplay where things done together - or at certain timings have magnifying effects (more than combinations in the base...

I wasn't interested at the price point for the Scuf, But I desparately want a PS5 controller with paddles. The Steam controller had a few ahead of its time features, and I just can't play certain games without paddles now after years of muscle memory.

Walked in to Bestbuy and snagged one of these. I haven't been in the Playstation ecosystem for a long time, and barely made an account. If this was you, how would you purchase or subscribe to Plus/Now whatever the hell the options are to access at least ps4 titles of note? Thanks for any...

The Himalayas are on another level of scale. Here's a few quick links to scan through to get a sense. Mt. Rainer is the 3rd most prominent summit in the U.S. since it was linked previously. Mountains and their ranges create a perception problem even standing in front of them. Prominence...

Don't forget, these are the bad motherfuckers who set the routes. They ain't getting guided. Documentary is incredible. Nothing in the States compares to the altitude of the 14 he climbed. Rainer is a real climb - but its 14,411′ - highest in the PNW. Most human bodies cannot even begin to...

I think the number of hobby PC gamers that will tolerate these insane "current" gen prices are not that significant. If a machine blows up - or its chugging - sure people will buy. Most PC gamers aren't hardware enthusiasts. They are actual game enthusiasts. There are a ton of people praying...

Gamepass recreates some aspects of the friday night game rental -> sunday return at the local video store from the 80's and 90's. In that way I think it is guaranteed to win, if there is enough shelf choice any given night, people will gladly rent 1 game 3 weekends a month. Gamepass is more...

The Dota shuffle this year is more interesting than most. I definitely want to watch the Cr1t/Jerax 4/5 combo.

Dota provides.

What some fucking plays. The base breaking Zip/Jump Skewer/RP to Sven Cleave combination was fucking baller.

This old Misery team? He's been on so many. I agree, a team always plays most fearless, loose, and in their wheelhouse. The thing I enjoy about Spirit so much is that they patiently move around the map, and when there is an opening to go they don't worry they just go. The Disrupter /...

Watching Spirit has been very fun, every player is showcasing the heroes they are playing. Their team fearlessness is obvious. It will be curious to see who has the final day mental game between the remaining teams.

Also - Lover / Rival are positional buffs in the game. Lover's vengeance is +dmg against enemies that have damaged the partner. Rival I think increases chance to "crit". Outdoing the other. Its all very opt in. You can completely power game it or roleplay it. I understand not playing it...
