    Warframe

    Just gave this a download. Seems interesting enough. Are the paid packs on sale on Steam right now worth it or should I just keep playing to see if the end-game grind actually gets my attention? So far I'm not 100% sold on the game so I'm thinking about holding off.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    For how important last weeks game vs the Lions was for Detroit and now this week for Baltimore I can't believe how flat both teams look. Bengals aren't even playing that well in either game just the opponents seem to have no interest in playing.

    I cannot seem to beat the final wave. I've gotten there a handful of times and I can usually only protect about 2/4 of the sides. Once I stop expanding and hit "army and defense mode" I just start starving for gold and stone. Space is the most premium asset in this game.

    I think it is west coast only but for a sub chain Togo's is pretty damn good. Their hot pastrami is legit.

    Overwatch

    While mechanics are important I made the jump from plat to diamond completely not giving a shit about my mechanics. This game is more about teamwork and positioning than it is flicking headshots. I had the same issue in Starcraft where I thought I'd do nothing but mechanics drills but I...

    Just finished this up. Felt like it could have been a 5 parter instead of 6 and get rid of all the over-the-top Hamlet shit and confusing montages of old video. Overall it was pretty good but now my Netfix recommends queue is a ton of conspiracy theory shit.

    How many games played? Most people I know with multiple accounts once they get a sufficient amount of games on all the accounts they are generally within ~150sr of each other.

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    With how much indulgence regulation there is in KR and CN I was pretty sure it was only a matter of time before EU adopts something similar and then eventually that will spill into USA. Right now EU is dealing with all the "Forget Me" stuff on the internet and after that I think anti-indulgence...

    Hearthstone

    I don't play at a high level but I've watched plenty of cube locks not even toss down the weapon. Especially if your demon recruiter pulls a voidlord out of your deck and you can just cube/pact that. It seems most necessary when your idea is to cube a doomguard, though.

    Yeah I don't think the MMR has reset or decayed so you are probably overplaced now. The overall skill level, especially at high plat and low diamond, seems much higher now than it was a few seasons ago.

    She's broken in the same way Junkrat is broken. At OWL-tiers of play Junkrat isn't as broken as he is at ladder-tiers of play. The problem is it takes very little skill to play Mercy or Junkrat for the payoff you get on ladder. Neither hero is necessarily fun to play against, either. The...

    No need to qualify "at lower rank" with Mercy. She is absurdly broken at all ranks. Rez is just too strong to give up.

    Gov't Regulation for Games Discussion- DLC related

    Even without loot boxes all the free games on my niece's tablet are littered with "buy more" options. The goal is to get the parents to download it, have the kid enjoy it and feel compelled to buy more. Same goes for any programming you watch on TV where it is nothing but wall-to-wall "BUY...

    I just wish the tech tree was a bit less linear. It feels like the only decision I make is in the early game if I should build a wood workshop before or after I build a barracks. And generally that decision is made based upon the amount of farmland I have to work.

    Its a fun enough game but personally I got super bored after about a week of playing it like 6 hours a day. There is a certain amount of "one more day" factor similar to Civ which can really make the hours float away. I never got "super" into it because I honestly find the process of building...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    My biggest concern with who fills the Bengals job is the fact that they'll also become defacto GM for the team. Marvin was a terrible in-game coach but he could build a good team. The new guy may be a good coach but have no nose for talent.

    Surefour seemed to be playing like shit last night. He was consistently losing Tracer 1v1s to Crusty every time I saw him play. Even when he'd get an edge Crusty would just retreat away and was clearly comming because a Zenyatta was always there to finish him off.

    That seems like a terrible line of thought. So he should "tough it out" and be miserable making good money during the tail end of his prime years so he can live it up when he's old?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    May not be super popular of an opinion but honestly being a programmer is more of a young person's game. You have to get in young to get hired and you have to roll that seniority up to better jobs. As a 40+ year old person with no previous experience you won't be an attractive candidate for an...

    If you're a good Zen you can be a Tracer main's worse nightmare. The Tracers at low Diamond aren't good enough to one-clip me and I almost always manage to defend myself and scare off the Tracer if not outright kill her.

    Right now the game is mostly just 3d shapes. Like boxes attacking cylinders. We're slowly adding better models. We have another guy on our team who is pretty good at making assets so he's making them and we just import them into the project. Art is more a polish phase and has very little to...

    I don't think I've ever defended Burfict. I think he gets flagged for non-things now because he does have an accurate reputation as a shitty player. However I'm not sure how you are running some mental gymnastics about how Burfict being on the team all of a sudden makes it fine that Kimo...
