    The upper stage of a Chinese CZ-7-R/B re-entered and caught on camera, pretty cool footage, it almost seems in slow motion compared to the speed that we get impacted by space dust. 1:05 is when the full footage starts.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    One minor problem with your ideal world Tuco is that if you actually live in these wild places you want people to go, there are a lot of dead zones with no cell network to be had. Basically, Niantic can't make you go find a rare Pokemon at super outdoor places, because many of them have no...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    This Pokemon game is first step towards the matrix, people are literally walking around catching invisible digital shit. This shit is worth so much entertainment, on par with the Eve thread during wars. But with more funnies. Someone I know complained they had blisters on their feet from...

    Overwatch

    12v12/16v16 would of course need maps, 2.5 times the size, maybe simultaneous pushes/points or multiple paths, they don't need to be balanced, they just need to be a sandbox to people to play whatever they want when they log in. Competitive can stay 6v6, that's fine, but QP/PUB/SOLO...

    Overwatch

    PC needs 12v12/16v16 quickplay, would make the game incredible for a long time in a pub setting. 6v6 makes everything too tryhard with mouse/keyboard speed/precision in the mix for casual long term fun. If you could log in to "play what you felt like" instead of having to play what it...

    So this is from Nasa, its the timelapse of Junocam's approach to the system from the pole until the instruments were turned off for the insertion burn. I found this article to be a compilation of some neat stats about what they did to put this probe into orbit, can't wait to see what we see...

    DOTA 2

    Remember Dota is a game comprised of many different skill sets. Until you approach pro-level skill, almost no one brings the same capacity in all skill sets, and we still compare pros to each other and recognize the subtle differences in different game aspects. Additionally, while people...

    DOTA 2

    The point I was making is that the international Dota scene pays out in USD and placing at TI is worth years and years of average income in a lot of these places. Under such a situation breaking a roster lock is an easy choice if it increases the chance to qualify at all, because the reward of...

    DOTA 2

    Well, After all the qualifiers shook out, I'm happy with the teams that ended up at TI, not a lot of junk qualified into the main event. At least NA did not send any of the idiot teams. Hopefully the 2 teams who come through the wild card are strong in the main event. CIS kind of got...

    Euro 2016

    You might say that, but this is like Boise, Idaho being a sufficient population base to make round of 8 in the Euro. This is a remarkable achievement of such a small quantity of people. Iceland has a smaller population than the smallest US state. There are twice as many people and some...

    DOTA 2

    Until there is a legal framework to protect players interests as well as hold them to binding contracts we'll see shit like this happen. For most players in Dota, most of their income is from prize pools at lan finals. They do not have reasonable salaries unless they are in the West and in...

    Weather

    The one other thing about earthquakes out West is that there is no modern memory outside of the few quakes in California, and it seems the truly devastating quakes haven't really happened in the past few hundred years. I think once a lot of people die, and cities fall down...

    Overwatch

    The Torb console nerf is the first good news I've read about this game personally. Stage one of at least having the PC version diverge from the console experience, because it needs to. It has to. Fixed turnrates vs uncapped turnrates are not the same game. Hopefully this means PC might see...

    DOTA 2

    4 position mirana has to land a lot of arrows, the other argument is that 4200 gold is potentially 2 nice support items almost. Add in midas, you might not have a force, or a cape, or anything. She definitely is a hero though you can pick as a "scaling" support that can transition into...

    Tee Time Golf - Steam Greenlight (Shill Post)

    I love me some good golf games, however, I don't know what kind of gameplay you guys are looking at ultimately (3 click etc). You should steal some of the arcade golf ideas from hotshots/pangya. Especially with your course maker idea, allows more fantastical design.

    So this is one of the best videos I've ever seen discussing time, human interaction with it, and scaling it up to intergalactic motion. Anyways, this is worth a watch, the finale that visualizes and discusses (not to scale) our movement is the most well done presentation I've seen to...

    Newbee was terrible after their win, Same with Alliance, I'm quite sure they both got champion invites. Even if it wasn't the same 5. I don't think its a stretch to say EG will get a champion invitation. It's always been the exception to "earning" the invite for that year alone. Its like...

    DOTA 2

    I think EG still gets a champion invite, I think its the one circumstance where there is going to be an exception made for the TI6 invites. Universe/PPD/Fear/Sumail is 4/5 winners, they are not going through opens for my money.

    Pray they are willing to disconnect console version from PC version, or many of these changes are probably far more unlikely (such as player cap increases).

    I do not believe in equality

    I think peoples perspective on this problem is largely determined by where they actually grew up. For example. There is only ~15 million of 330 million Americans in the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana) and yet this is a massive geographic area...

    I think you're missing some aspects of the the complaint, Quickplay should have a better FFA/Drop in Experience than it does for the 6 solo players who don't want to spend time on meta gaming with 5 random people they will be with for a short time. The problem with Quickplay as I see it is that...

    On PC they need 12v12 or 16v16 and maps appropriate in size. I probably couldn't get enough if that was available. The draw of TF2 pubbing for me was the ability to drop in and get enjoyment playing my class of choice that moment. In Overwatch I feel pressured constantly to counter pick...
