In most tournament matches, you end up with comps that are VERY much like instalock QP (and even ranked). Teams sometimes use certain characters at particular times for a specific reason though. Sometimes you see triple DPS on the first point for the first push or two. Then, just as fast, they might go to triple tank…

Oh man, that would be amazing! If only EA didn’t deep six the franchise after they did the force co-op Dead Space 3 that didn’t work and also the crammed in microtransactions for crafting. Which, of course, in today’s market, doesn’t look like as big of a deal. Which is extremely sad. It was definitely a sign of…

It’s a shitty, “look at me” cluttered market place tactic that has been heavily employed in the mobile space. It works when not every single game has a similar icon...but as soon as everyone starts doing it then it suddenly loses the “look at me” factor. They do look shitty and it’s a cheap psychological ploy...much…

Most of season 3 was 3-4 tank meta. So this has been seen before and was even considered quite common at the GM level and Pro level. However, it is a new tactic in the current meta...but it’s definitely more of a, “put the bastion on the cart and pray” (EL PRESIDENTE!!!!!) sort of thing you try for one or two pushes…

You might want to check out the definition of the word. You literally defined one of the uses of the word.

I’m confused here. Yes, voO got into the tournament due to another player not being able to make it. But that doesn’t diminish the fact that he made it to the finals and is an extremely accomplished player in the duel scene. It’s not like Cypher would have been guaranteed the same spot as voO or won. Clawz isn’t as…

Haha, that celebration picture is fantastic. Not only is Daigo showing off his non-stoic side but Fuudo is in there giving a thumbs up as Japanese Harry Potter.

I truly enjoyed how it spit in the face of conventional level design and mechanics while also making fun of typical platformer tropes and unoriginal story telling. At the time, it was a breath of fresh air in a market dominated by wannabe mascot characters all trying to do the same thing. Nothing else at the time, or…

Which is something that I hate. I am part of my local FGC and keep up with the pro scene and play multiple games. The NRS game practice of quitting early just looks awful from a viewers perspective even if the players are totally fine with it. The fact that NRS even allows it in their games is just so out of touch…

Mostly they are stress testing betas. If you and a bunch of other people find a big balance issue or exploit, it might not be fixed by the time the game fixes. It might be in the day 1 patch. Most of these betas are for marketing but they are also to get a bunch of feedback on how people perceive the game and…

The Switch itself is pretty good with good build quality, as of now anyway (who knows what issues might pop up in a year or two for launch units). And many people had to have their left joycon shipped off for repair due to BT issues (including myself). Virtually everyone I know with a switch who did the same test as…

The game plays just fine on modern LCD’s. They only use CRT’s because that’s what they have decided is the standard as the game isn’t in widescreen by default and LCD’s, despite having very little latency these days if you get the right one (4-8ms...which is 1/4 or 1/2 of a frame of animation), do introduce some…

“A better, more robust, solution”. AKA marketing speak for, “we could farm the work out to some mobile team we contracted out and then gave them a bunch of ridiculous feature requirements that do not make sense given the VOIP landscape in 2017 or anything post 2008".

I don’t even give people a chance anymore. If they are toxic and say something they should not either in voice or in written chat, they get reported. I used to let it go a lot of times or adjust because of context or assume that they might be having a bad day. But it’s so constant these days that I just report and if…

What sucks is that now that he’s made a video on it and now that an article is out there on a heavily trafficed site, he might end up with even more chargebacks from people wanting to “troll”. There is very little repercussions potentially involved with somebody doing chargebacks and Paypal doesn’t care because they…

It won’t matter. Your old loot boxes will use the old system filled with dupes. Loot boxes, despite them looking the same, are not the same. The new ones will have a new UID associated with them and will be governed by the new policy while the old ones, despite being in the same stack, will be governed by the old…

Luckily Nintendo just fixed it through a recent firmware update. And Samsung, for owners of those TV’s like myself, is slowly rolling out a new update that may also fix it (some say it is fixed and others say it is not).

Some A/V receivers have issues, some don’t. It depends on if it passes through the signal or not. Powered HDMI switches typically won’t pass along the signal but the non-powered ones using passthru will.

Yup, I was watching CEO and I had no clue that there was a DH event going on.

It’s not. I went from 1080p TV’s to 4k TV’s due to having a fire. I barely notice the resolution bump. It’s nice but it’s not SD to HD nice. HOWEVER, the fact that my new TV’s all support the new HDR standard (and it’s the real HDR standard built-in and not the fake software version cheaper TV’s have) is quite…
