I am an All-Star in 2's and and a Rising-Star in Solo and Standard 3's. My highest rating in 2's in season one was 933 and I finished at 865. This put me in 10 of 12 divisions. Your winrates are not real data, 17 of 20 is still 85%, and 75% is 15 of 20. Here's why. In every match...

There are both solo standard (all individuals on both teams) as well as just standard (3v3 in any combination of 3 or 2+1 or 1+1+1 (team vs solo). If you think you're better than the division you are in then you have to do all the things the people in your division do not do. For example...

Season 2 is patched in now. New ranked system etc.

That's my point, you rob yourself of the hardest moments of the game. When you meet a new enemy for a first time, get yourself flanked, or activate that extra pod. The first time is the hardest when you have no idea what attacks the enemies might have. Turn on ironman, don't give...

I can't believe all you guys starting on easy difficulties without Ironman on. You are robbing yourself of the experience only X-Com can give you. I am so stressed out by my current Commander/Ironman playthrough. Every mission might have some new enemy - or one mistake and my game can...

Little more on the potential announcement. Apparently they watched two black holes collide - of 36 and 29 solar masses, the resulting object is like 62 solar masses and is spinning. Which is apparently called a Kerr black hole. More Gravitational Wave Rumors: Colliding Black Holes?

I'm a little bit higher - my highest is 4800 but I"m sitting at a solid 4350 right now. I'm always game, use the rerolled in game channel too. Once they took out guilds the channel never repopulated. I'm Rethan# on steam with a Battlemech for an icon. I'm consumed by X-Com 2, but I'm...

I'm keeping myself dark in this thread to avoid spoilers, but I just wanted to say this game is amazing. I never played long war, I just didn't have it in me to invest that much time in the game. If the long war helped influence what X-Com 2 is, then those guys need some major kudos...

Commander/Ironman from the start, lets just say the Earth has lost quite a few times already learning the systems. Great fun, great feel. I'm also playing it entirely with the steam controller - Firaxis provided a config. Outside of learning the buttons and missing clicks - like when I...

Most of it is in regards to what happens in the chance of a failure I think, but I didn't google this, and literally shot from the hip. Rockets aren't really all that safe - from a safety perspective like an automobile or even a commercial airliner. EDIT: Until we can land them, it might...

THIS IS SPAR...DOOM! Holy shit that was nostalgic. If machine games is involved in this - they are awesome. The Wolfenstien reboots are great.

The trails games are wonderfully story and content rich. The first game contained 1.5 million japanese characters, the second 3 million. They are high marks for novel-like RPGS. Wonderful games.

Wild Arms 3 and Grandia 2 are a pair of my favorite Rpgs of that era, Grandia 2 is a wonderful game. Grandia 3/Xtreme was total ass, They paid Mark Hamill to voice act shitty, and the coding of the game made all the voiced dialog come out with broken cadence it sucked soooo bad. The...

Ranked AP has no bans, but it is a forced alternating pick with a longer pick time. Each team loses gold if none of their players pick each phase. In this way its pick phase is different than just normal AP.

The files are transiting to my command center of liberation. 24.7 gig download, it asked for 31 gigs of space I think.

This was a very good read. Quite relevant for all the talk in the thread and well written for even us casuals. The url has a hilarious typo of Tyranny to Tryanny.html though. Its very well written about the Rocket Equation - If Earth was about 50% bigger - we couldn't get off the planet...

I only day 1 a few titles a year, games I feel are both worth my own entertainment as well as my vote to make more of this shit. I paid full price for Witcher 3, Rocket League, Fallout 4, and Xcom 2 in the past year,

I can't watch streams, its already going to be amazing. 4 more days of waiting - we can all do it. I hate being spoiled of an experience that I've waited so long. Its tempting as fuck of course, but my virgin experience demands it. I need my iron man soldier friends to die horrible...

I finally got around to playing Valkyria Chronicles. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I never even looked at what the combat was like, but when I played it and found out its more like Xcom (light of course) it turned out to be the perfect game to help me deal with the wait till...

I'm going to shill this again. With people asking about exposure sources to some of this science that is designed for the layman. PBS Space Time. A Big Deal. There is around 45 videos now - some of them are bunched into topics. This is the first video of Relativity.

The bounty buffs on the bear really incentivized murdering it. The bear used to be used to cut waves at time zero to ensure creeps hit the tower, because if you lost a bear to get waves it was always worth. But feeding your bear even once is a fast way to lose a lane now in the early game...

Signs of second largest black hole in the Milky Way: Possible missing link in black hole evolution

So here is Musk's own words about the topic. 4:36 he talks specifically about recovery.

Two things, ditching a rocket into a bath of salt water is probably as bad as it is for a combustion engine in your car. Perhaps a giant water tight rocket condom would do the trick along with something to slow the fucker down so the impact with the water doesn't hurt anything...

Few things that help me understand why barges. Depending on what you want your payload in space to do - there are only so many viable trajectories to place things how you want in the first place (Geosync, Polar, Equatorial etc.). Second, a failed launch leaves you with a potentially...

You act as though all breakthroughs intrinsically build on one another. That isn't necessarily the case. What kind of other methods of recovery are you suggesting exactly that would lead them to truly reusable rockets that you can quite literally fuel and refire. A virtually impactless...

There has been a few supernova's close/bright enough to be logged by different civilizations, these two seemed most tracked in different records. Quoted from the Wiki Page. History of supernova observation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you do cross play matchmaking, PS4 users can not see typed or voice messaging from a PC player. They do get dpad taunt spam however.

All heroes have gone through viability cycles, its just Dota. I believe Alliance is better for one main reason. They have a mid who never was a farming mid. S4's best skill is he is a decisive initiator, it just so happens that for the last year and a half midlane initiators were...

There is cross play matchmaking, but not cross play grouping.

Beagle's campaign went sideways. Had to restart. It still seems hard.

10 buybacks up, 98 minutes into this game. How stupid. BH has 31 sentries.

I definitely think that Beagle's research tweak is much more imbalanced than it appears at first glance. Technologies are pretty important, and I would assume that the preview build they are playing does not expose you to enemies that may be designed to make higher tech struggle. Combined...

Its the best 5 minutes of competitive gaming you can buy, by a mile. It leads to so many wtf/awesome/heartbreak moments from second to second. If you are a gamer who has a crossover interest in sports, but maybe are not a sports game kind of person. Rocket League hits some bizarre...

People who can't do VR without getting sick will just guarantee humanity will have resistance fighters when the robots try to take over matrix style.

Firaxis must have dropped some of the data embargo. A lot of content dropped today. Here are a couple new videos. They must know they have a great game a month out. Biscuit with an hour video.
