Yeah, the siege tank transforming mechanic is pretty much THE perfect thing to turn into a MOBA character ability! I’m surprised League or Dota hadn’t already done something like it already tbh. Sgt Hammer was my favorite HOTS champ until I tried out Li Li. The combination of the two of them is so much fun either way… Read more

I never said it was new! Read more

WOAH I did not realize that. Apparently it was buried in the HTML for some reason I do not understand that made it disappear. Thank you so much for notifying me! Time to send another “kinja is being kinja” email to the tech team... Read more

It really depends on the game. I used to smoke a lot to help me sit through long open-world games (I have very bad ADHD), but I stay away from any substances when playing League of Legends in comparison...the game is honestly like a drug itself given how laser-focused it forces you to be whenever you’re actually being… Read more

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I really hope it didn’t sound like I was saying that Tomodachi Life or any sim game like it actually does approximate the experience of being a parent. I have no idea what that’s like. If anything, the “important lesson” it helped me realize was that if I’m doing stuff in my life… Read more

Apparently Kinja doesn’t like Google docs anymore, I swear it’s not because of 4/20! Anyways, thanks for the heads up, should be fixed now.

Was anybody else seriously let down by these? I thought fatalities were supposed to be some cool, over-the-top expression of a particular character. Or at least, they’re obviously meant to be a defining point of MK as a series/the subject of 99% of its hype pre-release. This video makes it look like you just get a ton… Read more

The thing is it’s really not just $5. It’s $5 dollars per individual skin. There are a bunch of skins for each champion, and more than 120 champions. It’s easy to spend $50-100 on this to get the same feature that HOTS provides for free. Read more

Dota is the next one I wanna start with...maybe in another few months if taking on another MOBA won’t kill me. Read more

Holy shit that’s brilliant Read more

EXACTLY. Personally I was hoping he’d have more Fallout-style power armor, but hey, I’ll take this one too! Read more

We’re definitely also playing/paying attention to HOTS, just not as much quite yet since it’s still in beta. I was playing a ton but went back to League 99% to try and grind through as much as possible before HOTS gets its full release (supposed to happen soon), at which point I’ll probably start doing a lot more with… Read more

Because I’m a journalist??? Read more

yep, fixed right after pubbing! Read more
