    DOTA 2

    Yeah. He eats a 4 second stun and if you can get him out of his tree and get on him he's screwed. But, getting the right tree is tougher than it looks. Last game I had an Ember and a Spirit Break that jumped me. I get my stun off, phase boots gets me just enough range to get 3 seconds of not...

    DOTA 2

    I still say, all his damage stuff, while bullshit can be tuned or tweaked with numbers. Make his attack stacks persist shorter. Scale his Q better etc. I think the one that is going to be the long term problem is the vision and mobility his tree top bullshit provides. AM gets a blink sure...

    DOTA 2

    If I had 3 hits on you and you were at 3/4s health or lower, I'd try and dive you. I need more practice with him to know if it works well, but in laning early stages. Just jump to the tree, jump down hit you once and Q. If I do it right I stun you and your partner and you prolly explode. If...

    DOTA 2

    Disrupter can be a lil awkward for people new to him and so I don't think a lot of people really give him a shot. For instance I played with a disrupter last night that kept glimpsing people out of this prison and ult. He would never get them placed properly or would misjudge etc. He's pretty...

    DOTA 2

    I expect so. He needs tuning definitely. Just seems to get too many positives with out the drawbacks. Better stealth than Riki honestly, without the fragility. Great mobility and damage? With lifesteal to boot? Yeah. He needs tuning. I was thinking, and I think Sniper might be a better...

    DOTA 2

    I would agree with this, but I tried it last night. In the hands of a pro maybe. But the average player its going to be tough. The jump range is huge. Longer than most people's shooting range (looked it up. Jump range is 1000 distance). Plus, the C/D is 3 seconds, starting at the moment...

    DOTA 2

    So, first experiences just a couple random games on the test server, Monkey King seems pretty fucking broke. Unless you can maybe get flying vision, he's completely invisible when he's in a tree. Only way to get him is to chop the tree down. Sentries don't seem to reveal him and he can just...

    Someone hire this guy. That is simple and looks like it would work great.

    The Last of Us

    I think we'll find its a group of people they settled down with. The reason I see Joel asking Ellie 'You really gonna go through with it?" is if you look back, the whole way through he's kinda trying to shield her in a way. That was part of what pissed people off about Joel in the first one...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Unintentional shitpost. And yeah, saying subtle and Star Wars was misspoken. I was more referring to movies in general, but even in Star Wars, they didn't have people staring at the camera preaching at you. Yes, it was blatantly obvious that the empire was evil far and away. It blew up...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    The parallels between Nazi Germany and the Empire have always been there, but my worry now is that they are going to forget one of the basic principles of movies. Show me, don't tell me. I just worry that they are going to move from showing me in all the various subtle ways how bad the...

    Just did 3v3. It was fun. 1v1 I suck, cause I play healers mostly and yeah.

    Overwatch

    Its fun and I enjoy them, but at a certain point I would like to play something else on occasion. And yeah. Going in games with no healer or tank and losing gets old.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    DOTA 2

    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...
