Star Trek Beyond felt like a Star Trek episode that deserved to be a movie, unlike Star Trek Insurrection which was a movie that should have been a TV episode. The villain could have been better explained, but the movie focused on the crew so it didn't matter too much. I was also completely fine...

I don't know what happened but in the past week the rank 48-51 queues (yeah I'm a scrub) have turned to shit. I mentioned leavers earlier, but premades trying to carry low ranked players has become a problem. I probably lost the luck of the roll on getting the good premades in my games the past...

The last two days, five out of seven of my matches have had someone leave within the first two minutes. It's been extremely frustrating and I am wondering if they need to institute some harsher penalties for leavers.

Considering Blizzard spent hundreds of millions of dollars creating the lore before making Overwatch*, I'd certainly hope it's good! *Overwatch is the remains of the failed Project Titan.

I love the concept, I'm just not looking forward to Ana in queues. I've found that snipers suck in general because they have very little presence unless they're actually good, especially on defense. On offense they usually only have to get off one well timed snipe to break the defense, but when...

Yeah I mean, if they wanted to explain the computer virus better there's a lot of groundwork there for them to do that. Meanwhile in this movie, stuff shows up out of nowhere and there's an entire final act that could have been devoted better to build up. One of the things I love about the...

Right now my biggest pet peeve is teams that don't actually push the point. They just stick around the perimeter because they're afraid to die and I say "Don't worry if we all go you probably won't die." Of course they ignore me.

You state that teamwork is the overriding factor in this game, then want a scoreboard to emphasize individual accomplishment. Yeah, that'll go well.

Both, it's just weird that EVGA is selling cards direct when there are pre-orders at major retailers that have yet to be shipped.

It was up for pre-orders for a few hours on May 31st. Until pre-orders are fulfilled it won't be listed by Amazon itself.

After waiting five weeks for Amazon to ship my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW I canceled it and got the non-Overclocked version of the ASUS GTX 1080 Strix from Newegg (aka FE but with the Strix cooler). It sucks but at this point I am a angry at EVGA given that they've been posting new 1080 FTWs on their...

I'd hold on getting the 480 until the dust settles on the power draw controversy. TLDR: The 480 allegedly draws more power than the PCI-e spec allows for, which could fry motherboards that aren't well built.

What they *should* do is reduce the range of the turrets. It's night impossible to find a spot to pick them off on any of the maps. Beyond that, the near instant target acquisition could stand to be fixed. Actually why the hell aren't the turrets near identical copies of the turrets from TF2? At...

By drastic I mean some crazy card is printed that hates on CoCo.

Unless something drastic happens, I think it makes Bant CoCo Humans the best deck in standard until CoCo rotates. Heylel, how'd you like Mox Boarding House?

If you want to practice Pharah go play TRIBES: Ascend and use only the Spinfusor. I credit the reason for being so good with her due to how much I played TRIBES growing up.

I do play there, but am busy this weekend. Make sure you have some of the truffle fries. You'll find some of the better legacy players around at MBH. Sadly they don't run vintage on Fridays anymore

The real reason Sony and Microsoft are releasing updated consoles is to save money. AMD makes the chips for both Sony and Microsoft, and is moving to a new manufacturing process (16nm from 28nm). Not only are the 16nm chips faster, but they're cheaper to build. Finally, AMD was going to charge...

Step up program is Founders Edition only IIRC.

For those of you who craft, you can desynth the ilvl 180 blue scrip (formerly red scrip) gear to get glass fiber. Best route seems to be either WVR to desynth pants or LTW to desynth footgear. It'll be a grind but it isn't well known yet and is faster than both the Aquapolis and Moogle quests...

The difference between 60Hz and 144Hz is less blur and a far more responsive display for twitchy games.

Most people in this thread are buying the aftermarket stuff. You are right that the 480 will be hard to beat for value. However for some people like me, it is a bit of a hobby and I have to have the "best" which is why I am getting an EVGA FTW 1080. Granted it also happens to be my reward for...

I preordered back on May 31st during the initial wave hereAmazon.com: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 Graphics Cards 08G-P4-6286-KR: Computers Accessories. Amazon later took down the option to buy direct since they sold through their allotment. It occasionally comes back up for sale as...

I also preordered the FTW, but from Amazon. Looks like the release date is sometime around June 14th. If you look over atNVIDIAthere's a bunch of people claiming the sky is falling because Amazon is giving an estimate of July 14th, but that's because Amazon will give a super late estimate so...

Both nvidia and AMD have driver issues. However for whatever reason AMD can't shake the disaster that was the Radon 8x00 drivers from over a decade ago. That said, in the last few years at least AMDs drivers haven't melted videocards, unlike nvidia's (oops the fan doesn't work anymore). I say...

I've played enough Team Fortress 2 that this is engrained into my very being:

From my napkin math, the expected value of a pack is less than MSRP so I wouldn't exactly call the set good if you want to crack packs. Drafting it may be worth it however.

The pricing/performance for the third party vendors has been leaking today anyway. It looks like you'll be able to get something factory overclocked for less than $699 in two weeks.

Anyway I got third/fourth with GW tokens in that PPTQ I posted about earlier. It was at Mox Boarding House which is always fun to play at. Unfortunately I punt kept a hand I shouldn't have against BG Aurora ramp/control and lost. That BG Aurora Ramp/Control deck is pretty sweet so I'm not even mad.

I'm local to the Seattle area and am a software developer so I am well aware of how WotC doesn't pay market rate. It's just that the mistakes I keep hearing about in their software are of the "Not even a college student would make that mistake" variety.

To be fair, the problem was WotC's fault in this case. Doesn't make it any better, GP Los Angeles almost encountered the same database corruption bug but they avoided it by pulling the internet cord on the score keeping computers. It's apparently hard for WotC to make a score keeping program...

I doubt it. While nVidia gets the enthusiast graphics card market, AMD is killing it in the OEM laptop space and console market. Granted, neither of those has high margins but they do keep the company afloat. Rumour has it Polaris managed to snag AMD the next gen Macbook contract. Not that...

This weekend I'm heading to a PPTQ and am taking G/W tokens with me. I like to go through my matchups before a tournament and plan out how I'll sideboard but I am having difficulty this time around. I feel like I'm missing something despite playing the deck a ton online and going through several...

The enemies in this game don't need to be smart. They just need to be able to provide a challenge. I am not looking for flanking tactics when I'm wading through demons with the shotgun.

Well, one other pro with Cryptolith Rites is that it's pretty cheap to put together.

Yeah for me the two cores that I think will be competitive until BFZ rotates are GW tokens with: Nissa Voice of Zendikar, Oath of Nissa, Sylvan Advocate, Gideon Ally Zendikar, and Archangel Avacyn. Then in the rites decks it's: Cryptolith Rites, Eldrazi Displacer, Duskwatch recruiter, and...

If you want to play competitively I'd stay away from the B/G control decks. If you want your cards to last a long while take a look at the cores of decks that are not rotating. Personally I'd go with either GW Tokens or 4C Rites. The core of those decks are not going to go anywhere, and I...

Word has it Pascal Titan will be September/October, not next year. It will probably be north of $1000 though

I am making the jump into Hearthstone from MTG, going to give that Hunter list a try myself.

Also doing lower back exercises like deadlifts and squats helps a ton with lower back problems. You don't even need to lift a lot, even a little can do wonders.
