    DOTA 2

    Personally, I think the cams have value for spectators who aren't sitting on top of the client at their PC, I pay way less attention to the minimap when I stream on my TV than when I'm sitting at my PC. Also for casuals that don't know about the rest of the information or have the skill to...

    DOTA 2

    Perfect World getting exposed as ultra confirmed bads, I like all these attempted innovations, in the broadcasts, size/position/timing/duration of use need some tweaks. At least Team Secret gets to suck on the teat of Turkish oil money and Chinese cam girls.

    DOTA 2

    Faceless Void is not an every game carry, his 1v1 potential doesn't appear until late game and it never has, even to his rework (where it is diminished). Chrono's value is directly proportional to how much damage your team can put into the sphere, Void is also weak to burst damage and hard CC...

    So here is a spend up PoV of the stage doing its tumble and descent into landing, pretty incredible. I found it to be a cool exercise to watch this a few times trying to find the location of the drone ship against the cloud pattern as the stage descends. There is enough cloud cover to...

    Sennheiser GAME ONE - Gaming Headset PC, Mac, PS4 Noise Cancelling Microphone So I can't hype these enough, they are an open ear design so they do bleed sound if cranked up if you need them to be quiet externally. They have a velvet ear pads and are comfortable to wear for a long time, no...

    If you think you're stuck in a trench or progressed well past your current MMR, International Ranked All-Pick lets you recalibrate off 10 games. If you manage more MMR over 40 ranked games in the next 3 months - you can chose to place your trench mmr with your new one. Or it will shatter...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It is a bizarre and interesting geologic/human question. Events like Yellowstone going ham have clearly happened in the past and they must happen again, its just the way of time and science and the Earth. When Yellowstone blows to hell what will happen is remarkably weird to even consider...

    DOTA 2

    The amount of cosmetics, cursors, etc that you receive for the price of the base pass is extremely value. If you hit level 20 even on your pass, you will earn well more than the 9.99. This pass at least supports the players directly. A lot of people get mileage out of the quests, even...

    Monster Hunter Series

    I actually picked MH4U again up this spring and got myself Crown Ranked online. There are some really compelling monsters to fight. The thing I like about the MH series is that as a game they are about the only action combat animation locked gameplay that revolves around boss fighting...

    Overwatch

    Being late to the party is not relevant in a modern online game if its matchmaking population is sufficiently large. Trying to learn or play a game with insufficient population is one thing (like trying to be good at Quake Live tomorrow) the 50 people still playing the game are only godlike or...

    Overwatch

    I played one last time in the beta myself with friends just to see if I still felt the same about the game. I just wish there was a 12v12 mode at least on PC. The fact the title is on consoles at 6v6 makes me skeptical this would ever be explored. The TF2 pub server experience at 24/32...

    Rocket League - PS4/PC

    Rocket league has a lot more in common with CS:Go, Dota, and League than it does with most games. One of my friends who recently got into the game expressed the notion that he had no idea the game was this hard/deep. The truth is that losing basically half the time (unless you're godlike)...

    Blackroom kickstart FPS by John Romero and Adrian Carmack

    I'm so excited for Daikatana to finally come out. Romero's greatest contribution to my life is DM3, that map in 4v4 20 minute clanmode was an incredible gaming experience. If this was just DM3, remastered in a precise replica of Quake physics I might support that.

    DOTA 2

    I'm not sure I'm a fan of that article at all, its way too pissed for one. And for two, without a comeback mechanic dota allows for players to throw their life away repeatedly for kills and still win. And I don't mean at serious levels of play I mean in pubs at like 2500. Players get...

    Overwatch

    Overwatch is going to live and die by the size of its player pool, it just needs to be sufficiently large so that matchmaking can do its magic. The further outside the average skill range an individual lies - the longer their wait time if a competitive game is even attainable given the...

    Ball cam is pretty much required to play amazing defense. If you can't see the ball and meet it while driving away from it or with your back to the ball you'll struggle to make all the saves possible. The best answer is that there is a more ideal combination of both. Simple examples are...

    Overwatch

    If this game was 12-12 with maps at least 2.5 times as wide with 3+ viable forks and routes I'd definitely be about it. At 6v6 with 21 characters - that's just not enough of the cast on the map at once for me.
