dude, what? i couldn’t even do that against easy bots.

Super birb is here to save the day. Or round. Read more

I guess I’m one of the few people who didn’t lie Binding of Isaac at all. Don’t get me wrong I respect the hell iut if McMillen and his talents but BoI just became a slog and it was a bit too random for my taste., namely in terms of difficulty . This new game looks promising though Read more

Huh. Cool! But Switch coming “later”, not so cool. But still, cool! Always love to see what McMillen has cooked up. Read more

I was never a huge Fable fan (Enjoyed the second and played through a bit of the first and the third), but it still bums me out that they didn’t release Fable Legends. I played it at GDC a few years back and thought it was a pretty fun multiplayer game. It (weirdly enough) gave me a bit of a PSO vibe. Read more

I think Calvin, and Seagull did a great job showcasing the need for individual player views. Blizzard could develop a site that allows you to switch players with ease. I personally just like watching the game from a certain persons perspective Read more

I feel like Blizzard did a bad job of promoting this. I get that it’s only qualifiers but it just seems like a missed opportunity to promote the competitive scene. The fact that it wasn’t even mentioned on the battle.net Blizzard launcher is odd. They didn’t even tweet about it.

That color thing is a real turn off. Tuned into a TakeTV tournament this weekend and (having not watched a ton of overwatch online) was immediately confused by the red/blue switching. I get the reason behind it though but i wonder if they should pick like green and white or something so that there’s no confusing the Read more

Good read. I will say this about watching overwatch. I got Overwatch a year ago. Didn’t play it. Stuck with CS:GO and the division as my shooting games. I watch(or put in the background CS:GO tournies) Read more

I’m a real big fan of the free floating isometric cameras, I do wish they were used more for spectating tournaments. Not only do you get a much better view of the team action, you also get a better sense of just how many bullets/rockets/lasers are flying in all directions. The action just looks better in my opinion. Read more

I generally find the ROG brand to be horribly lame and the definition of “trying too hard,” but this is neat I guess. Wonder if something like this would actually affect their performance, or if they were too focused on the game to even notice. Read more

Next time: waterproof PCs and gear. Scuba equipment. Oversized shark-proof steel cage. They can feel deathly afraid of being eaten AND electrocuted at the same time. Read more

Winners were raised another ten feet.
Losers took the express way down. Read more

Holloway is fantastic, but I’ll be surprised if he wins a round. Jose Aldo should be a heavy favorite against basically every 145er on the planet and in the incredibly unlikely scenario that McGregor ever dares to fight him again I’d bet on Aldo at 50-50 odds. Read more

This makes alot of sense to me, as someone who suffered 4 spontaneous pneumothorax through my younger life, coincidentally when I was gaming competitively (RTCW, Battlefield 1942) in the good old days. There isn’t too much you can do, doctors told me it has alot to do with how my body was growing and they in a few Read more
