Esports aren’t sports. They’re esports, that’s why we made a new word for it. Let’s put it this way, would you ever argue passionately that email isn’t real mail? Of course you wouldn’t, because that would be stupid. Email is digital mail, so we made a new word for it. Same for esports

My best accused of cheating story was in Left 4 Dead 2. I was on the survivors team, and kept hearing the other team’s Boomers and Spitters through walls. Naturally I sprayed said walls with bullets to kill them. After the 4th time or so they kicked me off the server for “wall hacking”.

I know Alexstraza’s costume isn’t exactly progressive, but man, it just looks goofy with the black hot pants.

Sebastian Stan is under a 9 film contract with Marvel, so they’re not nearly done with him yet.

The “Thai Fighters” are too clever. That one got a chuckle out of me.

There’s also the fact that their music is honestly really damn good. I’m sure it started as a gimmick, but I’d challenge anyone to listen to Road to Resistance and not like it :p

No confirmed murders from Batman? Were your eyes closed?

I’ll never understand this unbridled need esports fans have for their interest to be categorized as a “sport”. I’m sorry, but they’re not. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching pros play games, but the games being played take place in a digital arena. Hence “eSports”. Reframe your debate with your coworker and you…

When I was younger I would have voted hard for permadeath. Now though I just don’t want that stress in my limited free time =p

Yep, she was in Avengers: The Initiative from 07 to 2010, though she’s a fairly minor character iirc, it’s been a while since I’ve read it.

What did you have against Marvel Now? It wasn’t a reboot at all, just a reshuffling of characters and creative teams. Unless you meant to say All-New All-Different Marvel, I know it’s hard to keep track of all their different buzz words =p

This is entirely untrue. Adding random elements just leads to another level of strategy. Do you take the 45% shot to kill the target, do you go into overwatch and hope he moves, or do you use your last grenade to increase the chance to hit and hope you don’t need it later?

Marvel Avengers Alliance is more fun than it has any business being, I played the Facebook version of that game for months.

Tigra’s never actually gone away, she’s been a supporting character in one book or another for most of the last decade.

On the bright side, Avengers Alliance 2 is in beta overseas. Maybe that’ll give us a good Marvel mobile fix =p

It’s what makes this all so tragic. The character designs, voices, animations, everything are all just so unbelievably charming. I want to like this game so damn much, but there’s just nothing there. The upside is that it’s such a small time investment that I’m willing to keep riding the train just to see what the…

It was too bad too, I really enjoyed the Tactics game.

It was decent. I played for a few months, got a few 6* heroes, but it didn’t pull me in the way Avengers Alliance did. I am so, so excited for the sequel.

Really? What happened?

The Blu-Ray remastering is really pretty incredible. The level of detail they pulled out of C-3PO surprised me each and every time he was on screen.
