    I couldn't get my usual gang interested in competitive last night. Played a bunch of quick plays, won most.

    One of my biggest problems is people sneaking up on me. I have some hilariously named headphones with atmos enabled, but I have a huge problem balancing hearing footsteps and hearing teammates on voice. Add to that sounds dropping out occasionally, and the volume levels seemingly randomized...

    Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

    The moto2 bikes have no electronics? I guess that's why they are sideways all the time? When I got back from Austin I started looking around to see if I could buy a moto2 bike. But then reality struck, and I don't have the money nor the desire to die yet.

    I definitely saw the gain/loss weighting at work helping my mercy friend through her matches. She ended up 56 I think, and I went up from 45 to 47. One of the matches we won I gained about a point and a half. I remember losing one where I lost about 1 point, but 3 or 4 where I appeared to...

    You must have really lucked out with your team. I lost 6 in a row that were turret/bastion cheesefests, then the last 4 were all close slugfests. Won 3 of those. One game I survived 99% and had 28 kills and we still lost, was probably close to that porcupine achievement. Rank 45

    I think the last time people had framerate problems, the patch reset people's settings to default. So if you were on low you might need to set it back to low.

    So far my compet games have been decently close, then when we are about to win the enemy team goes dwarves and bastions and we get chewed up by turrets. No wins yet.

    2 is often fairly dull, but there have been a few great ones this year. 3 is always exciting. The moto2 bikes just sound so cool. They rev so high they sound like mini f1 cars (older f1 cars).

    I almost think they did. Last night I did the jump-over-the-gateway thing on phara and was able to shoot the turrets in the back of volskaya b. When I tried that a month or so ago I'd get shot out of the sky. Maybe I just happened to jump during a molten core and the moltencore turrets are...

    I'm amazed you can deal with that without source. That was a huge pain in the ass in the dx9 days. Had to release all rendertargets and textures and reupload them all.

    I watched a bit of modern daoc pvp on twitch earlier. Decent sized battle on a hill I didn't recognize. Could hear the voice chat and it has been awhile since I've heard such intensity for a game. A good mix of panic, anger, target calling, yelling for those totem things they crap out etc...

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

    I don't really know of any game place that pays everyone well. Key people get bumped up, but only if they are aggressive enough to really demand it. The real savants that make the magic at most places are so introverted that they'd never ask for a raise. Games are made on the backs of people...

    Hey Tenks, I've been hanging out with Bliz people alot lately, and their company really sounds good. I'd ordinarily never work at a big place for several reasons (politics, dead weight, brutal crunches, post launch team slaughter etc), but it sounds like bliz doesn't really have any of the...

    BTW out of curiosity, has anyone ran into Meis that seem to freeze very very quickly? In all my games, I've only seen this happen 3 times, but I wasn't the only one to notice on my team. The last time I got behind this flash freezing mei and started hozing her down. A half a second or so...

    As a Mei player, I'd say Mei needs the box fix more than Hanzo. Mei is strong up close AND far, and doesn't really need the big hitbox stuff. I'd like to see them make actual hits be hits, but make Hanzo's arrows track a little. You still get a bit of fudge for scoring hits, but you won't hit...

    That's a popular thing you hear alot, hanzo shooting tree trunks, and in the open it is the same difference really. But if you test it on corners, he can fire past corners pretty well. If the arrow had a tree trunk capsule, the arrow would stick in the air next to the corner. It does a little...

    I play nightly with people that work there, and we all assumed it was a bug. The gif above is rather damning. Not to mention the countless box corner hits == kill deathcams I've watched in my 130 levels. I'd be shocked if it was intentional. It is the kind of solution you'd expect from a...

    The hitbox thing is just sloppy and bad coding. If you want a character to have an edge like that (right now it is hanzo and Zenyatta and... who else uses projectiles?), just make the projectiles auto track a bit. Or beef them up in other ways. Calling non hits a hit just pisses people off...

    Overwatch

    I'd like to see them fix the hitbox stuff. Really when I saw that video (and numerous in game killcam replays) I figured it was just a bug. It's a really easy mistake to make. The usual code for testing hit stuff first tests against a biggish box. The box encompasses a standard pose, or if...

    My ping was really bad last night, fluttering between 150 and 400, so I played a bunch of Symmetra so I could at least put some lady turrets down. These weren't defenses but like attack and hold or move the cargo type stuff where you'd ordinarily not see one. It turned out to be really...

    Friends recommended a Mionix, so I got the Castor. It has the traditional mousey shape I like. I've never really liked those fat odd shaped ones. They do need a pad to go with them though. When I first got it I thought it was broken, but it just couldn't figure out the surface of my desk...
