    Anyone still playing this for fun? I keep coming back to it, but w/o a group all it does is eventually get annoying with no one else willing to play tank or heals. Maolain#1144 if anyone is interested.

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    I remember that episode. They try to convince the boy to get a prosthetic body too, and have her come in. And since she can't fold origami swans with it he (appears) to refuse. Since he is folding swans for the little girl he believes died (who is actually Motoko). I think in a later episode...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    I too don't think it was a dystopia future. just the same issues as today projected forward and spun to account for new technology. What worries me though is in the original cyber modification was common place. to be 100% natural was more an oddity. Most people had some for of basic add on...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    If I recall correctly, her body is actually supposed to share the appearance with a generic, common cyborg shell and she occasionally gets shit for it. What is supposed to make her exceptional is her mental abilities and practice using the cyborg body. One of the reason that she is supposed to...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    The trailer worries me a bit. I don't remember the original movie having an 'origin story' or any real attempts to go out of its way to explain stuff. The trailer, with its 'First of your kind' and 'Just make me better' and meeting her creator. All that makes me worry they are going to go out...

    HOw do you all find crashed ships? I haven't found a single one yet and don't feel like grinding money to buy a cool looking one just yet.

    Was it the Legion Commander one? You get the set for your Battle Pass level, and you get the alt set for just doing the questline.

    No Man's Sky

    I've found the game interesting. Though I wouldn't call it fun. It eats up time as I keep looking from spot to spot trying to find the next upgrade or Gek word or whatever. But, it bugs me that I keep seeing things and going "Wouldn't it be cool if....". Seeing a bunch of spaceships in a...

    What? I thought you had to 3 star all the quests? Did they change that? SIgh. So many hours of mt life lost :(

    Good Ol' Sean Murray has already gone back on his Free DLC comments. Saying now that he would like to release them for free, but hasn't ruled out paid DLC content. Seriously, someone at that company needs to hit him in the head with a bat and put him in a closet before his mouth ruins more shit.

    I completed the Windrunner one, but it was a bitch. I just gave up on trying to be productive for the first bit and rushed a shadowblade and did nothing but shackle and run. Fortunately we had an Ursa that just went ham on everyone. Once I finished the 3star on it I started building into the...

    LC is not really a carry. She falls off late game unless she snowballs hard. Early to mid she can do some carrying, but later on becomes more an initiator to eat a support while the true carry goes to town. Jugg honestly is a good carry to learn, and pretty easy to start with. The healing...

    I liked Purge's newcomer cast better last year, but it seems like they made a conscious choice to not have multiple casts of the same game. Instead putting Purge on Madden duty with the board. I get what you're saying though about TI giving hype for the game. TI5 is what got me started...

    Blitz actually helped coach a team (Can't remember which) with Bulba. And talks about how much he learned, with strategies. Movements. Item timings. It was another of his twitch streams I think were he talks at length about how knowledgeable Bulba is at the game. And I think that's what...

    As much as people like to shit on Purge, I think his newbie stream last year was really good and have used parts of it when trying to introduce new people to this "Whats the big deal about vidya games" bit. I'd like to see him do it again this year and hopefully have a landing place for new...

    Think you need a VR headset. Honestly, while the brief reveal of it looked interesting, watching youtube videos of it seems kinda underwhelming.  Seems rather unwieldy and not really a good way to get a good view of whats actually going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIw2haOAwDg

    Yeah. I think I am done with competitive for a bit. Played two games today after raiding. Lost one, lost a whole level. Second one, was a good team that communicated. We managed to get a team wipe that got me play of the game and then all but one abandoned the game. Got less than 10% of...

    Overwatch

    The thing I am starting to see that is really ruining it for me is people abandoning, so even if you do win you get shit. If you lose, you lose a whole rank. Other than my first day of competitive, I've never had a win give me more than like, 10% of a level. Yet each loss loses me a whole...

    Considering that what they all really need is practice playing together, going through quals might actually be a net benefit. They get practice playing together. If they fail we get to harvest the hilarity. Seems like a win-win to me.

    Kemal Sadikoglu on Twitter: Looks like its true. Bulba to Secret, Universe back to EG. Further Rumor is Aui is getting kicked and Zai is coming back. Means both have to go through open quals I guess, but considering how shit they were doing its prolly worth the risk. No idea if either...

    Is there a way to spectate a game/person that's not on your friends list? Some of these Widows make shots that are.. uncanny to say the least.

    So I bumped into the jackass of all comps I've seen so far in pub games. 2 Reinhardts, 2 Soldier 76s, a Lucio, and I think the last was a Junkrat. It just sucked. Stacked shields on the cart, S76s autoaim ults, and the riptire. It wasn't fun. Worst part is, you might be able to counter it...

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    Hate to say it, but I think Cosby is boned. He might beat the criminal case, but if there is a civil one he's hosed. Time's have changed and if the deposition where he says that he had sedatives (Yes, I know its just Benadryl) that he never intended to use himself but was for giving to women...

    I like Widow, but I think a good Hanzo is the better sniper. The arrows have a slight arc than can be abused by shooting keeping yourself just behind cover and kinda lobbing them in. His sonic arrow is Widow's ultimate light, but on a short cooldown. It feels like a full charged arrow does as...

    If you said it was more like competitive TF2 than certainly. But I think most people experience with TF2 is drop in servers with anywhere from a 32 to a 64 person population where you just run around killing things and do objectives and just generally enjoy the destructive mayhem. This feels...

    Symmetra's teleporter can really break an offense too if you get it set up. Instant teleports back to the defence point is invaluable.

    D.Va is good when you start to learn to use her E more. Its like a mini short term Reinhardt shield. You got a push coming? Hit E, stop all incoming fire and hopefully your teammates are safe behind your shield shooting. Roadhog hook you and blow his ult? No problem. Eat the whole thing...

    Overwatch

    To build on my own post and what some others have said, I think this game is balanced around competitive, organized play. And, without that a couple of the maps seem to naturally favor the defender. Simply because an unorganized defense is easier than an unorganized offence. If you had an...

    I am still having problems with this being a MOBA moreso than a shooter. As Fawe said earlier, the game is more about team comps, working together. Ult timings etc. And, while in an organized team I think that would be great and do good things for a competitive style play, for pubs it makes...

    I generally don't play ranked, but the new ranked queue has gotten some of my friends to drag me into games to 'reset their MMR', and it has been horribly painful. Having heard all them bitch about how the MMR Trench is inescapable, I get the feeling they are right where they belong. Finally...

    So on the questline paths. If you don't get a 3 star success, can you go back later and redo it to get a 3 star after you've completed later steps? Cause I'd like to finish the questline to guarantee the skin first, then work on getting the 'special' version of it later.

    I wonder how well the selling skins will go. They really need to get their art crew kicking out some better looking ones, cause nothing I saw really wow'd me. Also, with games like Dota and League you're looking at your hero constantly. In OW, I never really see my hero other than the final...

    I've been trying to put my finger on what it is that bugs me about this game. I'm having fun, but it seems frustrating and I think this about sums up what it is. Its that feeling I get in Dota where I have to pick a character I don't really feel like playing because no one else wants to roll...

    The best one I saw was a ridiculous set up for 1 Reinhardt, 1 Junkrat, and the rest Pharahs. Shat on just about all the Turret/Bastion nonsense. Course, you'd need people to communicate to do it.

    Overwatch

    So. You had an organized team that was communicating. Which, we've all already said a team communicating and working together would really negate a lot of Bastion's bullshit. Also it was three of them? And from what I've seen three of anything really isn't a good idea in this game. So I...
