    StarCraft 2

    I have this bad feeling Zerg is going to go in the same direction it went in WoL. The foreigners who were "good" (*COUGH COUGH*) at WoL suddenly aren't getting the same results. It must be HOTS is imbalanced, right? Not the fact WoL was an imbalanced mess for a solid 1.5 years.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Pretty much this. In D3 they had ladder and non-ladder characters. Keep everything as-is right now and move that as the non-ladder characters. Then make some much needed changes and open up ladders (such as removing RMAH and re-do itemization.) I think Wilson is using the AH as a scapegoat...

    StarCraft 2

    Switched them up they were 25m 75g. Though Ghosts weren't really used all too much outside of TvT where they became really good at locking down BCs. Sometimes you'd see them to lock down an Arbiter.

    StarCraft 2

    It was $40 and they clearly weren't working on HOTS from the second SC2 released. People overlook a bunch of stuff they added to the BNet 2.0 interface as well with the HOTS release and the incremental updates during WoL.

    Mad Men

    I don't know if I'd agree that it is normal people doing everyday stuff. I mean it is someone of incredible talent that has a very high paying and very flashy job. He goes out drinking and to dinner every night in NYC where he meets a new woman on a seemingly nightly basis. It is still very...

    StarCraft 2

    Browder commented on that a while ago and I had to agree with his logic. If you make it cap out at a certain number you can never guarantee what exactly will happen. So you EMP some stuff expecting all the shields to deplete but then you actually only get a bunch of units with 50% shields (for...

    I'm glad we shouldn't have emo self-pity Don this season. I hated that. I need to see Don getting hammered and slaying pelt.

    StarCraft 2

    I've always disliked Ghost design possibly because I'm overall pretty bad at using them. That is why I liked the (stupidly OP) upgraded healing beam from the beta. It allowed me to try and out-micro storms without the reliance on this EMP vs Feedback tightrope that I, honestly, find boring.

    StarCraft 2

    Most players at the tip top rarely use EMP. Outside of the medivac kamikaze I haven't seen top Koreans use EMP. They almost always favor snipe for many of the reasons you're talking about. It has really been that way since the EMP radius nerf.

    Path of Exile

    Hm that is good to know. I'm generally a hermit when I play games like this so maybe I won't bother. Sounds like they realized everyone complained D3 rewarded isolation too much so they went in the polar opposite direction.

    StarCraft 2

    HOTS MP is much, much, much better than WoL MP from both a player and spectator perspective. Even if the changes they did don't sound huge they were pretty huge.

    StarCraft 2

    Ghosts aren't a backbone unit in TvP. They're a flair unit. They alone don't do "damage" really. They can't erase supply like Templar or Infestors. So having a bunch won't ever really buy you anything. But when you have a few of them thrown in with a ton of bio their ability to mitigate...

    StarCraft 2

    Like I said if you are on 2 bases Ghosts will harm your overall army due to their cost. You will not have the bio units to face off against the (probably) well upgraded Gateway forces and you'll get overwhelmed. My problem is I think I'm Flash so I just never get Ghosts

    StarCraft 2

    Ultras do bonus damage to armored in the campaign? Guess I figured they followed the new HOTS multiplayer ruleset where their damage has no bonuses.

    StarCraft 2

    Basically when you secure your 3rd you want to build a Ghost Academy. It is a fairly inexpensive building. Once it is built research Mobius. Once Mobius is about halfway done then you can start your Ghost production. Or if the Toss maintains Colossus then you continue making Vikings. You...

    Path of Exile

    After playing for another hour or two last night and not being drunk I found the UI concerns pretty invalid. The XP progress bar isn't as large as I thought it would be so it kind of hid from me a bit. I also was expecting my str/dex/int to be somewhere on the offense tab and not big and bold...

    Spartacus

    Because the latent gayness of this forum is creeping up. All they can think about is the see where Argon got it on with his dude and the time Tiberius raped Caesar.

    Actually playing Starcraft 2

    Mures explained 888 as well as I could so I'll take the latter question. You'll find in SC2 there are a variety of ways you can play and be relatively successful. However there will always be the "right" way to play as well and that is the way that can lead to the most success. Can massing...

    StarCraft 2

    The spread-out ness is certainly a factor for larger countries like the States. But smaller European countries could pull it off. BTW as of right now (3:15 EST) they're restreaming Seed vs MKP

    The Walking Dead

    There are quite a few things I feel that lead to this. In the end Woodbury is seemingly a utopia. There aren't zombie attacks and there is not a lack of food. In the source that wasn't true. Rick actually had a better setup in the prison and that was a driving force for the Gov to try and...

    The big thread of game industry fuck ups

    When I saw all that DLC go online I was hoping/praying it was just a way to flesh out some sort of skill tree they have in Tomb Raider. Should I assume that doesn't exist and the $1 DLC just sets a pistolAccuracy=80 to pistolAccuracy=100?

    Apparently they carry some decent pedals and things according to that thread. May go over there and see if they have any stuff like that on sale. Not in the market for a new guitar.

    Feast to ro4? Wtf he is going to get murdered by hero 3-0. Feast is a bottom rung foreigner even. Tenksradomus gives his predictions: MKP > Seed Huk > BabyK State > Vibe Suppy > Bly Creator > Minigun Stephano > Thorzain Goswser > SaSe Hero > Feast MKP > Huk Suppy > State...

    The Walking Dead

    By all accounts the Governor has a better society than Rick has managed to produce. You can argue the way he went about creating it would be seen is wrong but he clearly knows something Rick does not and that is not only surviving but thriving. Anytime Rick meets a new person they are...

    Path of Exile

    Downloaded and played for an hour or so. Initial impressions is it certainly feels like a F2P game at the moment. If we're big on Diablo vs POE comparisons here there is no enjoyment to the combat. I whack at things until they fall down. I'll sometimes cleave them. I have yet to feel like...

    The Walking Dead

    I'm sure I could find him lying as and end to justify the means but he kept that kid hostage last season and kept throwing everyone new in jail this season. He killed the entire original prison crew one way or the other to get their shelter and supplies. I don't think the line is as clear as one...

    The Walking Dead

    But it was retarded. From what we understand (I was drunk during most of this episode) is at the onset of the zombie apocalypse Merle joined the group of people Rick eventually found. Rick cuffed Merle to the building and he eventually escaped where he was on the road and eventually found the...

    The big thread of game industry fuck ups

    The gaming industry isn't moved by the "avid gamer" types. It is moved forward by the people who buy the latest COD by the millions. Since that group of people will still exist as long as the consoles are reasonably priced they'll still sell and "modern gaming" will continue as we know it.

    The Walking Dead

    I think what he's getting at is this episode was kind of a closed loop. I don't know if I'd say "filler" is the appropriate word but Merle's character pretty much ran it's course and didn't really have a purpose anymore. In the end the only thing that really advanced this episode was Merle's...

    StarCraft 2

    But EU Toss do stream a ton. You're watching a Toss who is very well known for being a micro-oriented player. If you watch Grubby or MaNa's stream (I actually watch MaNa's time to time to keep up with Toss builds) you'll see a different style of play. I know a few Terrans I really enjoy...

    StarCraft 2

    What leads you to think pro gaming is seen as such an accepted job? Every interview I ever read is the person basically saying their parents don't approve of their decision and only start to approve after they win a ton of money in a tournament. I think this myth that Korean parents are so...

    StarCraft 2

    I haven't but I'm also not getting paid to play Starcraft or be the best at it. If the foreigners want to just admit that they'll never be the best at the game then that's that. But I highly doubt there will be a huge craving to see sub-par SC2 as Catz suggested by having NA only leagues. I...

    StarCraft 2

    But even when it is offered often times foreigners don't take it. They go to Korea for like 3 months and then leave. Foreigners simply don't have the work ethic to compete with the Koreans. Ret left Korea because he couldn't take KeSPA. Nony left Korea because he couldn't take KeSPA. The...

    Stephano basically said Trot was a terrible coach. Which was one of the leading factors to him getting fired and Park hired. I'm not saying I'd want to grind for 10 hours a day either but I also think being a pro gamer would be a pretty terrible job. Right now most foreigner "pro gamers" see...
