Oh man, I know the history of the genre is kind of weird in the first place but HON is such a strange game in the context of what MOBAs have become now.

“Lost it,” or “to lose it” is a figure of speak that just means people were excited.

Pretty much this. I watch all the Majors and follow a bunch of the behind-the-scenes drama, but it’s not because I’m an esports fan - it’s because I’m a Dota 2 fan. I like playing the game, so I like watching it being played at an incredibly high level, and I feel invested in a lot of the personalities because I see…

At this point Mads is one of those actors who’s absolutely inseparable from his character. When I read this I don’t see an interview with Mads Mikkelsen, I see an interview with Hannibal Lecter.

Are they, though? I feel like any cohesive art direction that exists within Paragon is a complete accident, and that they’re probably just shoving in whatever unused UE4 assets they happen to have lying around.

Condition Zero was objectively better than 1.6 anyway, at least that one had some fun weapons.

Oh wow, I actually didn’t know that! I thought they’d been pretty hush on that front, but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, there’s no way I can see this coming to consoles. Mechwarrior’s control scheme is ArmA levels of complex, and if you streamline it for controllers it would fundamentally change the pace and feel of the game.

No, you’re totally right - these awards shows aren’t for us. And by “us,” I mean people who are immersed enough in the scene to know about stuff like Enderal or AM2R before they’re given a spotlight on TV, let alone give a shit about the dev team.

But is that really how we should determine the overall game of the year? By news and social relevance? Seems there’s already a separate category for exactly that.

Are you sure about that?

What? It’s the purest form of capitalism - no middlemen, no bullshit. If people like what you do and want more of it, they’ll pay. If not, they won’t.

This is generally true, but in this case it’s obviously making at least some kind of difference - if it weren’t, nobody would’ve noticed in the first place and they wouldn’t have people tweeting them asking where their videos are.

Pretty sure he’s alluding to the famous Metallica v. Napster case. At the time, the larger labels (of which Metallica was part of) were stuck thinking in terms of the retail space and their whole line of thinking was that this new, scary internet thing was a threat to their business. On the other hand, a lot of…

You’re overthinking things it’s an ironic meme meant to make fun of the people who were legitimately upset about it.

Hate to break it to you but those values are decidedly pro-American. They’re the fundamental, core beliefs of the United States of America, and literally always have been.

Anti-science, anti-government, anti-logic conspiracy nutjobs like you are part of the reason Trump won. Congrats, you selfish idiot.

Why are famous rappers so prone to believing in these batshit insane NWO Illuminati conspiracy theories? Like, I know it makes for fun album fodder but, like, a disproportionate number of them actually seem to truly believe this garbage.

If something like that ever were to be planned, more likely than not the President wouldn’t even be involved.
