Well, the market for this is creeps. And if they give you money, then they’re going to feel like they’re owed something, and then you’re beholden to creeps.

Nobody asks female streamers to look hot. Most of the people who object to boob streamers would prefer that the hotness of female streamers not be a factor in their popularity.

This is the best skin HotS has done so far. Completely new VO and animations on everything. New hearth animation. New dance, I think.

Oh look, here is a major game that is currently live, and there are no media reviews for it. I guess Ubisoft either didn’t provide review copies to media, or else they embargoed the game so that the reviews can’t post until after the game is available.

You can now solo farm for both of those, and both can show up on BMAH.

hipfiring a sniper rifle and hitting a headshot is either really hard or really lucky.

Boom is good because he’s virtually uncontested in the 7 slot, he’s very resistant to silence, and if he gets removed, you still have the bots, and he’s good in a way that is usually not dependent on him working in combination with other cards.

No, you get a racer package from that, which contains a piece of a racing suit.

Do you play on PS4? I will help you get set up if you designate me as your refer-a-friend.

Not quite true. You get one random sparrow package for earning an S-license on your first character, but if you want them all, you have to spend.

The racing book awards a cosmetically unique suit of racing gear, and a special shader and sparrow. You can also get a unique emblem for completing 100% of the records.

If you play WoW, you know that there’s a big step-up from LFR difficulty to normal mode, let alone heroic or mythic. People can go AFK in the middle of encounters and still win.

This is lousy. People who care about high-end progression need to see more than this. The new light system drags out the process of collecting gear from a raid, and, although it feels artificial and obnoxious, it’s still not enough to stretch one raid for a full year.

The first raid actually will be successful if you have six competent layers who can learn from their mistakes and are willing to stick with it. It just might take four or five hours to complete. Most random groups will never complete it, because people just leave, and get replaced by new people who are seeing the…

Randomly matched groups perform much worse than organized groups, even organized groups assembled on LFG. Content that supports matchmaking needs to be tuned for matchmade groups, or matchmade groups will fail forever when they attempt it. Matchmade groups can barely finish heroic strikes in Destiny. Matchmaking for…

You can’t do raids without talking to people, especially if you’re new or inexperienced. They require a lot of coordination and a high level of execution.

Starcraft is an insane game. None of the top players are older than their mid-20’s because at that point, your reflexes degrade and you can no longer maintain the actions-per-minute necessary to keep up.

Distinguishing it from other MOBAs as a “hero brawler” makes it sound like it positions itself as being more casual or simplified compared to those games. But while some aspects of the genre are streamlined in HOTS, the game still seems to be built to support high-end competition and e-sports, and this weird branding…

Didn’t the NES originally cost $299? And wasn’t that like $700 in today’s dollars?

The problem with naming this the best video game gun is that I haven’t used this gun in a video game since Call of Duty 2 a decade ago. The WW2 shooter fad ended when Infinity Ward brought Call of Duty into the modern era, and the genre as it stands now is pretty focused on modern or near-future military shooters and…
