Ooh, but Cabana Ana... ah! Good thing I’ve been saving up my credits. Not sure I can resist the urge to buy them now rather than wait for them to drop to 1000 credits.

People like the characters because they have personality. That makes it interesting to a lot of people, of which you are not one. Not sure why that bothers you, but you have the right to get angry at whatever silly thing you want, like we all do.

They actually regularly show a top-down 2D map during the broadcasts, especially as teams are coming in for a push. It’s very useful to see where everyone is set up before the actions starts in earnest. Often, they use it in a split-screen mode.

I’m enjoying it a lot, just by spacing out my playing sessions. It’s way too repetitive to finish in one go, but playing twice a month for an hour or two is really fun. I should finish it sometime in 2019.

People were already throwing to derank... so in theory, if there are no more people throwing than before, but they’re doing it together, half the problem is solved.

No, the issue is not a lack of willpower. You have no idea what issues people you judge are facing. And if you think that physiological symptoms must be more severe than psychological symptoms, you have a very limited view of human beings. Why do people who stop smoking start again? The physiological symptoms are long…

That’s a huge off-base tangent for someone who teaches rhetoric. Please explain to me how this game in particular has anything to do with the slut / prude dichotomy? Why shoehorn an important societal problem into a discussion of a bad game? Did you read the article and think this game was a great example of that, or…

Unless they recently changed the design, their thumbsticks fall apart after a month or two of regular use. I’ve gone through three left sticks already.

Be forewarned, 200$ is only the initial investment. You also have to budget at least 30$ a year for replacement thumbsticks. They tear apart within a month.

Don’t buy Scuf controllers, the thumbsticks fall apart after two months. I’ve already gone through three left-sticks. Company considers this normal and there are legions of complaint online. Paint scuffed off after a couple of weeks. I really like the controller itself, but unfortunately the build quality is not up to…

Maybe they’re endorsing you just for not being an asshole? I regularly wave thanks to cars who decline the opportunity to be assholes to me when I’m on my bike.

As a player, don’t you know what the key plays were? I know when the fight was going our way and somebody made a key play to turn things around. If you can write an algorithm that can pick out one of the actual top 3 plays 90% of the time, POTGs become useful.

They do. Winning is a big reward, POTG is a small reward. People change their behavior to get rewards, and victory is a bigger motivation than POTG. But the fact that one thing is bigger than the other doesn’t mean the smaller thing doesn’t exist and won’t make a difference if done right.

What does “shouldn’t” have to do with reality? People like getting POTGs. They will change their behaviour to get the reward. It’s a known scientific fact that humans behave that way. I understand that you feel it would be better if they didn’t, but they do, so improving POTGs is a legitimate way to improve player…

Did you seriously say Deathmatch feels like it’s “out of your hands”? There are specific rules and win conditions, just play to them. Everybody’s fighting in an area your hero’s not good at? Switch to a hero who’s good there and join in. You don’t like kill stealing? Pick a hero with good burst damage so you secure…

Are you kidding? The entire purpose of Mystery Heroes is to learn all the heroes. It’s arcade, not competitive. If you’re terrible at a hero, you’ll die within 30-60 seconds and get one you’re better at. Please don’t be angry at people for trying to learn new heroes in the one mode that’s designed for exactly that.

I am not a dog person. And this sentence is precisely the reason why: “a creature who trusts and loves you 100%, waiting for you to come home. YOU are their entire life”.

So I just listened to all the songs you linked, and the only one that’s any good actually won. Well done, people of Europe!

What do the Hanzo buffs have to do with Brigitte anyway? Genuinely asking, haven’t had a chance to play since the changes, but from the streams I’ve seen, it seems like he doesn’t counter her at all, just that they’re both strong. The new meta seems to be Blue Team Grav + Dragonstrike followed by Red Team Grav +…

PES with fake team jerseys and player names still plays more like real soccer than FIFA with all the licences money can buy. Most people don’t care, but as long as that’s the case, PES will always have an audience.
