    DOTA 2

    Just in regards to the last event camera focus bind, as well as double tapping select hero/control which snap the field of view centered to that unit as another tool to manipulate the camera. In a crappy appeal to authority, if WASD was without downsides relative to edge panning I suspect...

    DOTA 2

    The short answer is if you don't want to be artificially capped by the way you control the game yes, you should absolutely move to edge panning. If you are not concerned about your ultimate skill ceiling you can certainly play the game under any of its alternative control options. They are...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The 34 characters would seem like a whole lot more if the cast was unlocked, I just lament that it's not the case. Ah well.

    Utomik - The Netflix of PC Gaming

    I can't say I wouldn't be interested, but I think I'll let others prove this technology's performance first. I'm curious of the quality of service from big city vs more rural areas.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Its got a stupid amount of content. I am on a quest to construct every longsword, but progression wise I'm HR5 same point as cyrus. In Single player I've 100% completed every 1-8* quest, except for a couple of 6* that I guess are gated behind HR4+ quests somewhere. I've done about...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    David Braben explains the problem withElite: Dangerous cross-play - PC Gamer Elitehas more configuration settings than any game I've ever played. It has support for so many control types, the visual/audio sliders have many settings. The base game is so natively a PC title, I don't...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Dude, I feel your pain, but don't give up exploration! I've almost got my asp monies, about 1 million away, then its off into deep space until I die or almost die. Maybe in 5 months I'll come back and have enough to kit out one of these expensive ships.

    Mounting tutorial. There are 4 ways to mount that don't involve weapon specific skills. About ledges, any ledge that your character will contextually jump off of is high enough to potentially mount a monster - very tall monsters seem harder to mount off very small ledges in my experience...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Every weapon is 100% viable in every fight truly pick the ones you like. That doesn't mean that there might not be monster specific advantages/disadvantages that a weapon may or may not give, but you aren't tied to one weapon type so the game is unconcerned with this part of balance. If...

    DOTA 2

    There are a lot of people who play Dota. The matchmaking does a wonderful job of segregating the player base by skill - regardless if everyone thinks its garbage. This leads to a reality where if you are above a certain skill level - you will absolutely never see an mmr against you lower...

    Yeah that's rad stuff, there was a huge push on reddit to name the Yembo community goal station to Leonard Nimoy Memorial. I submitted that name, thought it was an awesome idea.

    DOTA 2

    Nothing will compare to the Centaur Warrunner patch for me. When his ulti turned the entire enemy team into a stampeding stun. Drow Aura push was pretty fucking dumb, and shadowblade split pushing prophet for months. Centaur still the worst for me.

    Monster Hunter Series

    That quest, lol. The first egg I did not see either of the dragons, and its only 3 screens so I said fuck it. I was running with the egg right next to the zone line to deliver ad the dragons head fucking popped into my field of view to me rear/left and scared the shit out of me. Of...

    Monster Hunter Series

    I used Rathian armor socketed for 50 health, Maestro 1 (horns less likely to break), and Fire attack +1 with a fire element weapon (long sword is my weapon of preference). Don't forget to take advantages of all the consumables in monster hunter - they are valuable and sometimes a bitch...

    Monster Hunter Series

    I crafted the rathian stuff, just because I wanted something different. It worked fine. If you socket it it also gives 50 health, and +1 fire attack. I used a fire element weapon with it to get that bonus. The basic armor sphere works to like level 3 - you should just upgrade to that...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Think of the combat system as requiring you to be extremely deliberate - animation locking is a thing games either do or don't in action titles. Monster hunter is highly animation locked, a wrong button press costs potential damage or health most of the time. There are a lot more...

    I don't think you will be disappointed, I purchasedelitefor the exploration side. I've visited more than 700 systems which is not many in the grand scheme of people who have done far more exploration than me. The "best" deep space exploration ship currently will run about 16.7 million...

    I have the new 3ds, but I did not have an old one - I've been waiting since they announced this model before buying. I can speak to the fact that the 3d is pretty awesome, and has a very tolerant zone to view it from - for example (my wife could view the 3d with me from above my vision as...

    I still log in, I don't always spend all my stamina, but I've been just skilling things up as the dungeons have come back to back to back of monsters I have. I need like 25 million green xp - and might have a GZL team sometime next winter. Light meta skill up process really killed my...

    I'm just pretending I never saw that embed. Fun tournament. First round of the winners bracket is deadly - throws you into a bo1 elimination game.

    A few stats - completely stolen from DAC Day 4 Recap - Newbee and MVP eliminated Lion (33-23 58.9%), Juggernaut (32-20 61%) and Vengeful Spirit (28-21 57%) are the most picked heroes so far. Best hero winrates with over 20 games are currently Batrider (15-8 65.2%) and Axe (26-14 65%)...

    Heroes of the Storm

    How is the overall hero diversity in ranked play - does it still seem like most players own the basic cheapest 10 more or less? Its one of the things I'm most curious about if anyone has an opinion or data. Even just anecdotal is good enough for now.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    So I finished going to the Pleiades to the California Nebula I went away from the nebula a couple hundred light years and navigated to any intersting system towards colonized space. I ended up traveling I think somewhere around 150-170 systems. I did not get an exact system count. My...

    Starbound

    People think they want to beta test a game, they really don't. I think that's on the consumer. If you understand its an incomplete game when you give them your money that's on you - these games don't have a release date attached - and disclaimers all over. There are valid reasons to...

    That sounds sweet, I'm on the last 300 light years of a 2500 ly loop or so, I found 1 (maybe) 2 earth like, and perhaps 20~ water/terraformables. I hope its retroactive - and that some day I'll at least be able to see where I've traveled. I still appreciate the sense of scale that...

    Witcher 3

    Just explore - while the size of the game is not super small - its still limited. If you run around the areas in the game you will uncover most quests - just do the talk to everyone explore everywhere method - you won't miss much if anything.

    Nintendo 3DS News, Games, etc.

    I have a secret brick and mortar store that no one thinks about in my area as even having electronics - they always have limited edition stuff in stock because they have no compelling online presence. Find a store like that in your area and you might have a way to get lucky.
