Snowballing is a really interesting thing. The problem with snowballing isn’t that the team that is winning keeps winning, as you say, harder. The problem is that this happens over the course of a 45 minute round. A five minute game with snowballing is fine - it keeps players moving and circulating through…

Towerfall Ascension is my favorite party game, hands down. My brothers prefer Duck Game. I’m considering disowning them.

I imagine the issue would be that allowing trading incentivizes grinding for profit, not for play. How many times would you be willing to be matched against bot accounts that are just grinding out matches to buy cards to ‘trade’ (read: sell) to other players before you check out?

To my eternal shame, I still haven’t played Dark Souls 3.

To my eternal shame, I still haven’t played Dark Souls 3.

Sooooo... just like Boba Fett? As I recall, Fett’s accomplishments in Empire and Jedi amounted to 1: Standing near Vader. 2: Holding Vader to a contract. 3: Standing near Jabba. and 4: Getting killed by a blind guy.

The first game I owned was Altered Beast. Not counting pack-ins, either Super Hang-On or Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. On the other hand, the first game I played was probably Metroid or Super Mario Bros on my cousins’ Nintendo.

Assuming I have any gaming time this weekend - replacing subflooring is amazingly time-consuming - it’ll be either Breath of the Wild (two Divine Beasts down and I’m deep in the Yiga Clan hideout) or Darkest Dungeon. I recently restarted DD, and Radiant feels MUCH better than the normal difficulty. Not necessarily…

Arkham Knight was the only Arkham game I didn’t 100% (including Blackgate), and I think it’s because I treated the trophies the same way I did for the earlier entries: if I stumbled across one while playing I’d grab it, but otherwise I left them for the post-game, not realizing how friggin’ MANY of them there were in…

Hey, whaddya know, it turns out I AM, in fact, willing to buy Dark Souls a third time!

I haven’t played Warframe in quite a while, so take this with a grain of salt but... maybe? I honestly think they’re a lot more different than most people do. Warframe is INFINITELY more focused on movement and melee than Destiny is, so if that sounds good, give it a shot.

Super exciting news! It may just be because there’s no one more zealous than a recent convert, but my love for my Switch may be enough to get me to buy DD for the second time.

I never finished Prime 3. I really ought to dig it out.

I’d play it.

Oh, totally.

Totally honest here: I would eat up a Battlegrounds mode for Overwatch.

I’m trying to resist looking anything up. I did look up how to get the rest of the Zora armor - turns out I had already completed but not turned in the quest for the boots, and was almost right about where to find the helmet. I ALMOST looked up how to do the Akkalla Ancient Tech lab, because it was raining so…

I haven’t played PoE in a while, but it did absolutely nothing for me. Environments felt bland and repetitive, story was even thinner than vanilla D3, combat felt way too spammy (though this may have changed at higher levels), the mess of currencies turned me right off, and the skill tree was everything bad about…

I finally got a Switch (Christmas present to myself), and good lord, even having played BotW on my brother’s console, I didn’t truly appreciate how friggin’ GOOD it is. So yeah, I am totally down for whatever Nintendo follows it up with. Can’t wait ‘til I can justify buying Odyssey.

Honestly, I think I’d rather just have another D3 expansion. D3 itself is excellent, and an expansion means we might actually get it within our lifetimes, as opposed to a whole new game. Either way, I’m down for more Diablo.

Ahh, I misunderstood what you were talking about with prestige classes. My mistake. The first time I played ME1 I went Infiltrator, and the experience was so unpleasant I swerved hard to playing as primarily Soldiers and Adepts for future playthroughs. I’ll have to give the hybrid classes another try sometime!
