D.Va really got the short end of the off-tank stick on this one.
Zarya and Hog got multi-character, expansive coverage and D.Va just gets a matrix that lasts longer. Read more

yeah, I was running support for my first few games, and it really seemed like at some point, the DPS decided it was much easier to go after the healers and then burn down the tank..  I was running for my life more often than pocketing a tank or topping off DPS. Read more

Yeah, I thought it was the good foundation for an arcade mode if you beefed up the tanks even more to effectively make them bosses, but as a replacement for the actual Overwatch experience, I thought it was horrid. From my experience, it felt like the whole team suddenly had a single point of failure and attempting to… Read more

I really enjoyed it, though it did start to show the base XOne’s age, though I do think in some ways it’s the weakest piece of DLC. The open world isn’t really used to its best potential, not giving away that it’s surprisingly linear until you’ve advanced quite some way into the story. Read more

The ending of the Cell Saga was well done, and if you consider even the original DBZ...it felt like a natural ending. Read more

I can respect bowing out on this. Honestly they did amazing work for the three arcs they did and I often wondered if they would ever finish it given that few people have an emotional attachment to the Buu arc in the first place (myself included). I think opinions would be stronger if they stopped completley having not… Read more

I actually lost track of which episode count I was on and didn’t realize I was on the series finale until the credits and...that was it.

I love the ending because it’s more interesting to ponder what comes next than for him to have died, or even for him to have resolution. This is the type of ending that lets my mind… Read more

This article is so timely for me. I’m playing D&D for the first time for my 32nd birthday party on Saturday  (actual bday Sunday), and myself and several party members have social anxiety. I posted this on the event facebook page and everyone is like omg thank you. so yeah. Oh em gee thank you. Read more

As a DM with anxiety, I heartily endorse talking with your DM before a game. My entire enjoyment is derived from my everyone in the party having fun (and killing things). I would bet that most DM’s feel the same unless they’re just a vindictive prick who wants to abuse his players, in which case I’d recommend trying… Read more

As a DM who has a player with severe anxiety, I personally recommend taking regular breaks. Give the players a chance to get up, and move around. Read more

And while it’s not optimal, you can play DND pretty passively if you need time to warm up to it. You can just follow the party around and just toss out a spell or attack when prompted. That way you can just observe, get a feel for the style of the campaign, and jump in when/if you feel ready. Read more

I’ve been playing and DMing D&D for over 30 years, and every time I try to do an accent, I end up at, “Scottish person recovering from a stroke.”

I’ve never played the original game, or this game, but was curious when it hit Steam for free. I downloaded it, and like the others that were new to the game, I felt COMPLETELY and utterly lost. Had to research online just how to start the campaign, and even then, it doesn’t really feel like I’m getting ANY of the… Read more

My GF: Hey, I’ve been playing Classic WoW. You should make an account! Read more

I got to 21 before I quit. I probably would have stayed if I could have got on the server I actually wanted to roll on with all my friends... but trying to level solo is such a boring grind. Read more

Hell yeah! This re-imagined album has been amazing. Read more

I’ve actually been rewatching the show for the last two weeks and I’ve made a few observations as an adult. Read more
