I mean, she’s still a 150 health character with limited mobility. Running into a cluster of enemies to spray a few rounds of pistol shot while you wait for the mech to explode is still pretty easy to punish. (Mcree kills her in a headshot/body shot from decent range now, easy to do while backpedaling).

If I’m really annoyed I’ll usually swap to Mcree.

“Whoa there...”

Honestly most Tracers worth their salt will either stay clear enough away that D.va’s pea-shooters aren’t a threat even to her and focus on peppering someone a bit more valuable than a 400-health armored tank that’s really only dangerous up close, or just swap out to someone D.va is a little more nervous about. I…

A good habit to establish is a ‘rhythm’ with her encounters that basically boils down to this:

My very limited experience in competitive mode has been mostly positive with the caveat being that you’re somewhat expected to be communicative (that means a mic) and at least be ready to play a semi-serious game. It meant mostly calling out threats and being willing to respond to strategic changes (meaning character…

I basically got the GearVR for free because it was time for a phone upgrade and navigating apps for it through the Occulus store is pure hell. God help me if I heard about something in particular and want to check it out, because I basically have to dig it out of it’s nested menus. It’s honestly one of the reasons I…

Full D.va teams can essentially do the same things, staggering their E’s to block shots, and just rushing together to soak up the turret with crap tons of HP. Both teams CAN be countered, but gimmick-team comps always have an advantage in pick up games because your average pug isn’t going to react in anything even…

“I asked to make one and asked to make sure he’d be ok with me taking whatever was in the books. He said yes.”

Which is always a question that should give you pause as a DM, as this almost invariably means the player found something REALLY cheesy and he’s trying prepare for the fact that he is quite probably going to…

So, recently we were doing Death House, which is the new Curse of Strahd adventure for the hardcover. This was adventure league organized play, which tends to skew groups in the direction of the murderhobo and generally more casual play. It’s also very unpredictable. SPOILERS, of course, so caveat emptor.

Said…

“Virtual reality experience Arachnophobia is an application aimed at helping people overcome “irrational fears” of extremely venomous and aggressive spiders. After playing for five minutes, I’ve decided to hang on to my fear a bit longer.”

If that’s true, (and it doesn’t seem like it is) the process it’s doing it is…

That’s the thing about phobias. They are by definition extreme reactions that don’t seem reasonable, so people, socially, assume you’re playing up the reaction intentionally because their own rational assessment says ‘It’s not that bad.’ The disproportionate hysteria can be a part of that.

My own reactions to spiders…

And those consequences are? Or are the consequences ‘angry keyboard warriors argue with anyone who isn’t that bothered by a delay, which happens once in a while and doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things because there is more to life than video games’?

Regarding Hanzo + Widowmaker being a good combo, that may be, but you need to be extremely careful with when to do that.

Think of team composition in terms of zone control; especially on attack/defend maps. If you roll say, Reaper/Mcree/Reinhardt/Lucio/Pharah/D.Va, you’re a short range comp: You’re vulnerable to being…

“A Reinhardt’s shield can help pave the way toward Bastion,”

I mean, sort of. Reinhardt’s shield lasts about two seconds under fire—if 2 or 3 people can put enough fire downrange yeah.

The easiest way to ‘counter’ Bastion is to remember a human is playing him. Really, part of the huge reason novice players find him so…

It’s actually not Bran’s fault: That’s the thing. He just happened to be there.

What I got from the scene was in that exact moment young Hodor was experiencing everything from that moment and time... and old Hodor knew it. That’s why Hodor was freaking out well before things started happening. He knew it was how he…

“Remember that as recently as December 2015 Oculus founder Palmer Luckey had said “If customers buy a game from us, I don’t care if they mod it to run on whatever they want.” How time flies when you’ve got a competing product in the marketplace.”

Your daily reminder that if you check to see if a tech-industry…

People like it, so I guess yeah, you are missing something.

Are you talking about using real names? Because one of the reasons that was dropped was some malicious users displaying the very real capability of it being abused by flooding a dev with the usual RL harassment shit (spam mail, pizzas delivered he never asked for, stupid shit like that), demonstrating just how easy it…

Do you want a serious answer? Because there is a theory.

Basically it boils down to Bartle’s Taxonomy. For the TL:DR crowd, there are basically four types of players, Explorers, Achievers, Socializers and Killers, and everyone sort of lives somewhere in the nexus. Cheaters tend to be on the extreme side of the killer…

I’d point out as well that Battleborn is more moba than FPS: And frankly, if you pick it us because you like FPS more you’ll be disappointed, as the gunplay in the game is weak. It does have a lot of variety in characters and some interesting interactions though.
