Hold up, there’s a real Jesse McCree working at Blizzard? As a lead game designer?

I keep confusing this with Outer Wilds.

I come from the future! I just played this in one day; it’s a wonder how short it is when you don’t try to complete all the side missions. Given how long I spent playing the main game, I had expected longer.

They’re American, but the song blew up in the UK. There’s a recent VEVO video interviewing the lead singer and another band member. In it, he reminisces about playing in the UK for the first time while they were still a new band and how much the crowd was into it. Something about the style of the song fit much better…

I think it's Brick, from Borderlands.

Ok, I’m coming in late to the conversation. 88rising is mostly Asian artists, and 8 is a very lucky number in Asian cultures (I’m half-Chinese for ref here). If you watch any 88rising video till the end, you’ll see their slogan “88rising is double happiness” and I’ve literally heard my aunt say almost the exact same…

It feels so right to have Fahey talking about the Transformers card game. Good to have you back :)

I’m fixed on the one guy in the crowd who only smiles (doesn’t clap) for the Lotus, keeping his arms crossed. In the Ancestral clip he claps a little, though you can see he’s holding a bottle. I just wonder if he’s not much of a Magic fan, held back by having one hand full, or just really good at containing enthusiasm.

Started DM’ing with a bunch of first time players (I’m not super experienced but more so than my friends). By the 2nd session they were already in jail by their own doing (they tried to break into a sorceress’ mansion, then the next day thought ‘Hey let’s see if the city guard have any jobs for us!’). Unfortunately…

Cool analysis. What’s stuck with me is how freaked out I was by the 3rd encounter, because your screen goes on a fritz before “restarting” with the intro cutscene. I was so worried I had broken it that I force closed the game and went on Google... only to find out I’d been got.

I haven’t been able to play Magic much due to the time commitment of going to a store on a night a draft is happening. I used to play Duels but fell off; Arena is satisfying my crave and more.

I definitely have a Newsmaker, and it’s Rainbow 6: Siege. Beyond not having the means to play it, it’s not just not a game I would have the nerves for. That being said, I follow the news of the game, e.g. I’m super interested in learning about new operators when they are announced, or hearing about balance changes and…

Carbot? I see you a person of culture as well!

You’re in luck, there’s plenty more where that came from. The Magic story is good enough that you can follow it without playing the game. I suggest you go here, scroll down and read the other origin stories of the main cast (conveniently, under ORIGINS). Then, you can work chronologically upwards or dive deeper…

I’d say she done Vessed up.

Calling it a failure is an understatement. She damned her brother. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/lilianas-origin-fourth-pact-2015-06-17

The only version as far as I’m concerned.

The one time I won an online Starcraft 2 match I was exhilarated and exhausted beyond measure. I managed to get Stalkers into their base at the right time and just kept sending more Stalkers until their base was destroyed.

Save up for the Scythe. It’s super worth it and lots of fun.

What an incredible woman! I found it impressive that she had her son at 40, wondered what that age gap must be like, then I remembered my own mother had me at 36, only I was her fourth child.
