“I just want to crush newbies with little to no effort on my part” is not the winning argument he thinks it is. People like him just want to run around lobbies eating up a 20-2 K/D with no effort. He wants to have fun at the expense of an entire lobby and thinks that’s a fair trade. That’s like asking Heaven GG:Strive…

What do you think the overlap in the Venn diagram is between video game players that talk about how difficult games shouldn’t have easy modes (and probably use cheese strata to get through said difficult games) and players complaining about skill based matchmaking that reveals they aren’t as good as they think.

“I’m not playing this game because I wanna bully people and it won’t let me” is so weak. WEAK.

Part of gaming is the fantasy that hard work pays off. Hard work not paying off is the real life thing people are trying to escape from.

Rest in peace hero, it takes courage, selflessness and honor as a human being to put your life on the line for strangers rather than some who just go around talking about doing it for the social recognition yet they never do. Its sad that his sacrifice almost didn’t get noticed by the media.

What a BAMF. Rest in piece, Hero.

I dunno. I view this as being like the Xbox 360 where you could earn/buy “gear” for your stupid player avatar (or whatever they called the Mii equivalent). It was visible when you looked at your avatar and you could “take a picture” of it that would be easily displayed to anyone that looked at your profile. That was…

Even during end-game play, I found myself avoiding those runebears. I never sufficiently leveled my Gud stat...

Maybe making it harder for other people to detect the sound of your weapon?

I’m not a regular CoD player, but I have played in the past. Any action game that requires you to stare at a minimap is lame. It always sucks to feel like “oh I didn’t know that guy was there cause I wasn’t staring up at the corner of the screen”.

I played casually played Hard Core Kill Confirmed mode for most of my CoD BO-II (I don’t like how the new games play, just something different about them). I had a lot more fun when the lobbies felt random, and whatever meta at the time was equalized by the increased damage. I don’t remember the game ever feeling…

True, maybe. I mean, lots of shooters don’t do that. But I was just mocking the statement generally.

If you ask me—and you did, remember?—having people show up on the minimap takes the thrill out of it. And I’m as casual as they get.

If it ends up being horrendous, I’m sure they can just patch it back in or something…

It is clear that there’s a higher catering to casual players with Infinity Ward’s games, and also clear that they believe casual players enjoying the game is more important than the hardcore player experience.

Not really a COD player but I think I’d prefer more of a hide and seek than people knowing where you are the instant you fire. I don’t have time to look down there for red dots.

Well, in economic terms, a “bear market” is one in which the prices of stocks are falling; this is as opposed to a “bull market,” in which they’re rising.

I’m a huge Tolkien fan. I’ve read The Silmarillion MULTIPLE times. I thrive on the old world first and second age stuff and I’m not mad at all. I really don’t get what these people are up in arms about.

On Galadriel being a badass warrior: EVERY elf from the first into the second age was a freakin’ badass. There were…

I think Musk’s biggest complaint about the guys being cowards an jerks is that he did not license his image to be used!

How these arguments usually go:

Lord these people are just so lame. For a group that spends so much time insisting they are being silenced conservatives really don’t seem to know how to shut the fuck up. Between the bitching over this and the bitching over House of the Dragon I cannot fathom having such a small and empty inner life that this, of all…

Tolkien: Galadriel is the most powerful and important of the elves.
