Universal owns the rights to it on the East Coast to characters that don’t conflict with the properties in the MCU—which is why you see are like the X-men and Spider Man (no idea if that will change in the future), and in general it’s sort of murky. Disneyland has been experimenting with adding Marvel characters (Thor…

From what I heard, Capcom basically never wants to do it again. The licensing contracts were a complete pain in the ass and added a layer of bureaucracy over even minor balance changes. It also was there was almost no delay between MVC 3 and UMVC 3.

I really appreciate your insight but I can’t make heads or tails of half the acronyms. TDO? TDA? OLC?

Zeratul has always been popular and always will will be with VP, but he does actually have hard counters. His recent spike is precisely because Jaina and Kael though as one of the few threats. His win rate isn’t too out of whack and he can be killed with a good stun or disable.

Consider that despite the numbers boost the consensus is he was nerfed hard. Players also considered that talent to be a bigger talent spike than heroics.

Nobody. That’s the problem.

Browder commented on Twitter a while ago about it. They’re waiting for more support heroes, as it’s currently easy to force teams into sub optimal healer comps. There was a tourney where using bans to force teams to get stuck with Lili were a thing.

So I’m playing Johanna and I’m having this fantastic game on Haunted Mines and I’m just doing great on timings and engagement. We end up ahead on skulls but I get jumped by two as I’m backing. I’m bruised but I manage to kill one and disengage from the other with a sliver of health and exit the mines and I feel like a…

I’m actually not sure I disagree, although in Dawn of War’s 2 case I’m not entirely convinced the game was faulty just because it removed base building (there were a lot of problems with DAW2—an over simplified map design with almost no ability to defend points reasonably, leading to both merry-go-round style play and…

...Uh, yeah, I know. I really shouldn’t have even addressed it at all as it’s not relevant to the genre we’re talking about. What I meant was that’s why the ‘tip’ of building macro early isn’t as daunting to a new player versus the RTS genre.

Like, I get what you’re saying but with the exception of Civilization you just pointed out a bunch of RTS while literally describing why the genre has remained a niche product and difficult for new or more casual. The problem is that in every game except Civ 2 you’re dealing with an execution barrier. The advice isn’t…

I honestly understand it. The weird thing about SC2 that makes it so impenetrable to so many people is you can be losing a game and not even know it. Hit your population cap? You’ve lost advantage on timing. Missed a spawn larva timing? Your army is now smaller. Let your base energy cap? Too bad, now your base isn’t…

Eh, you say that, but Carol Danvers and Spider Man hung out with the X-men super regularly. I mean, Danvers herself was a major supporting character. And Thor—Thor interacted with the mutants on a startlingly regular basis.

I’ve heard some speculation that one of the reasons Roddenberry was so hard on the ‘nobody fights utopian society that is perfect in every way’ had to do with his illness. I guess it’s comforting to think of a future being bright when you’re not going to be in it much longer. I don’t know when the first signs of his…

Note that sharing this fact included a near 30 minute digression into the various sexual positions Ferengi enjoy before someone was finally able to remind Roddenberry that this was a family show at 7 PM and that none of this was relevant to anything.

And you know, the more I think about that, the more I think that situation absolutely fucking sucked for Wil Wheaton. Imagine being what, sixteen, seventeen? And having to deal with the background noise of a huge number of people despising you personally, throwing shit your way, sometimes in your face but often in…

At the end of the movie Q-bert turns into her.

Seriously.

Can we talk about Hamster’s “Oops you found my babies and I’m a little freaked out time to eat them!” Habit too? Because frankly it feels like it’s such a hair trigger that I think the hamster is just looking for an excuse.

He actually made an exception for this particular game (pretty much because you know what you’re getting at this point. It’s more Starcraft. Either you want it or you don’t).
