That clip is relevant to a shocking amount of discussions.

Looking forward to this.

“Red Alert 3, the game with the greatest cast and FMV cutscenes of all time,” - Ummm no. That honour belongs to Wing Commander 3.

You know why? Truro, Nova Scotia is why. The place is a shit hole. If someone threatened to take me there again I’d fight them to the death. I would not leave a plastic cup unguarded there let alone an expensive car.

So awesome to see someone from my city getting love from the larger FGC. I dig how humble she has been and how much fun she clearly has playing.

Wow. This was way better than I was expecting. Never heard of him before today. Thanks for putting him on my music radar.

This is awesome! Star Trek Armada 3 was a great mod and I’m glad the team has moved over to Stellaris.

What’s the point of buying a 4K TV without HDR now? Seems like you’d be better served just waiting for the quality 4K HDR TV’s to drop in price rather than buying a cheap in-between one. I only buy a TV every 6-7+ years or so. I’d hate to throw money away on something cheap when I could just wait, save up, and get…

Ya Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat had huge travelling tournament series in the early 90's too. Plus the Nintendo World Championships, and the ones for Warcraft.

It’s hard to say what the first ESport was. I don’t think anyone can really claim that honour with confidence. It just seems weird that Quake would claim it…

I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic. There were video game tournaments, big ones, with prize pools, top players and audiences long, long before Quake. Quake was huge at the time for being a multiplayer shooter, having LAN parties and QuakeCon but it was not the first ESport. Just because it was one of the first…

It was weird how they kept saying Quake was the original E-Sport. In what universe is that true? Quake came out in 1996!

Games bought does not equal games played. Just look at anyone’s Steam library. As long as people are buying backwards compatible games, who cares how much they play them?

As long as MS turns a profit, which I suspect they are considering how consistent they have been adding games to the backwards compatibility list…

Not staged. If it was Robin would not have risked those last few hits that could very easily have won the match if they did even 1/10th more damage then they did. Nobody is THAT precise when faking.

Totally forgot for a second that Blizzard is part of the same company.

I like Blizzard fine but it would have been nicer to have the game on Steam where I have 10x the amount of friends and already existing communities to play with. They must have gotten some sweet deal. It’s just an odd choice.

Every time I hear a VR game dev talk they babble about nonsense when the general audience wants shooters, action games, big RPG’s, sword fighting etc in VR. Not whatever art school fever dream they think is the next big “experience.” I don’t want an experience that lasts as long as a stubborn shit. I don’t just want a…

A long, long time ago I was obsessed with creating a character that could not die. My crew tended to play really tough campaigns with a DM who delighted in throwing huge set piece fights with long odds our way. I wanted a character the party could always turn to when all hope seemed lost. A character that could take a…

Ohhh good call. Thanks for that.

Serious question - has there ever been a good live action movie version of an anime? I mean ever? I can’t think of a single one. Am I forgetting a gem?
