Two.

The way I look at it is, it’s never going to be the game that some wanted it to be. It tried to fill a niche, pitched it as mainstream for some reason, and then under-delivered to both audiences.

Now, it appropriately delivers a much better, balanced, and full-featured game to that niche audience. It’s not bad, heck…

Yeah, but didn’t Player Unknown develop the Battle Royale mod for Arma 2 & 3, which prompted the H1Z1 team to have Player Unknown aid them in bringing the BR mod to H1Z1? At which point Player Unknown then developed PUBG with Bluehole?

The only thing wrong with tier lists is that people either try to use them wrong, or try to make them say something they don’t claim to say. Tier lists come with several caveats, and are only valid at the very highest levels of play anyway. They change based on current understanding of the game and its mechanics. If…

Kiffin’s a douche but this reminds me of when Lou Holtz was an assistant at OSU and late in a game against Michigan OSU scored a TD to go up by like 30 and Woody Hayes wanted to go for 2. Holtz asked him why they were going for 2 and he responded “because we can’t go for 3".

Those two factors would mean that players don’t see him a lot, on either side of the joystick.

The problem with tier lists, and I think this gets to what you’re saying, is that most of their value lies in the higher ends of competitive play. The vast, vast majority of players of any game aren’t in the most rarefied echelons of competition where the most granular differences that determine all but the most…

I understand the point of this article, and I agree in a lot of ways. Tier lists can be subjective and are often disputed heavily. However, and I can’t speak to other genres like mobas or fps, fighting game tier lists are based on hypothetical match-ups.

No, Drew is right. You start at the bottom with the lights plugged in so you can see what it looks like lit and adjust as you go.

It’s not a bad take if you want the lights lit when putting them on the tree. I want to only put the lights up once, so I always start at the bottom with the lights plugged in. That way I know I don’t have any “dead spots” and can adjust pretty easily. There’s no way to do that if you decorate from the top down with…

I love that you have WW2-era bombing missions with slow bombers with ball turrets that have to overfly a target and drop hundreds of munitions straight down, as if “down” has a meaning in space.

True story: About ten years ago, I found myself in conversation with a woman who was married to an obscenely rich banker (he was also particularly influential, as head of his sector’s national association). She was clearly very distressed as she described to me the shame she felt as she had pulled up to meet some…

Excellent. HamNo has finally given us the green light to start building guillotines.

This is admirable, though I think about how most creative destruction of obscene wealth and privilege makes life harder for others. Dig up the greens at a country-club golf course, and some poor schmucks will be forced to fix it, though maybe they shouldn’t be working there. Set up a circle of trebuchets to fire…

Please have him email me and tell me what the alloys are before I perish.

I mean, in 2018 credible evidence of a possible alien invasion is like...fifth (tops) on my list of World Ending “Oh-shittness.” You wanna step up your game, Aliens, get on twitter.

This rule is the main reason I have been watching 90% less NFL games this year than in the past. When it isn’t a head slapping overturn then it is a long delay of no action and more commercials while they wait on replay to break it down frame-by-frame to see if it slightly jiggled. It drags the game out longer than my…

Is anybody else tickled by the idea that Scaramucci was sufficiently boy-scoutish that he thought in order to take a job in the administration he’d have to sell his business? Did he not pay attention to the man he was helping elect?

Earnest ... tossed off fiery, radical lines like “I don’t agree with [Sean Spicer] ... but I’m rooting for his success.
