I'm going today to watch it today, ticket prices are crazy, fucking £12/$19.

It better be the greatest thing since sliced bread!

 

[inkls]

I hear Interstellar will also port the remaining heroes.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I'm gonna watch Interstellar this Sunday and I expect it to suck

 

[RVinP]

I'm gonna watch Interstellar this Sunday and I expect it to suck

Watched it a few hours ago, its was a emotional sit through for me. Mostly because I kinda dig the realistic physics and am REALLY scared of heat death of the known universe (do not worry, heat death isn't related to the movie..just thought I'd mention a relative reference to cite my feelings)

Got back home and I still think about it, god damn. Its been sometime now, since a movie like that in a while, where you'd just relax (staring into nothingness) and keep thinking about what if..(it was that way or this and so on).

Edit: I don't think I'd be playing Dota 2 today, the movie is still in my mind.. (eyes a bit moist and a subtle smile up face, with that 'What if..' part)

 

[Anbokr]

I think the hardest hit SRT hero was Alchemist

He went for a tier 1 pick/ban to a dumpster pos

Ive seen him picked twice in like 6 months, and he goes mid, gets a 20 minute mek and then becomes a shitty replacement for Venge

Yeah I miss old carry alch, give him a +1 str gain buff .

 

[Demoli]

So I played 6.82 BlyatCyka for the first time last night for my AHC. I can now say this hero is no longer the bane of my existence and actually feels kind of useful now.

I think it might be kind of neat to see Aghanims for him give back the initial cast damage on Rupture.

You might aswell buy dagon at that point.

 

[Hylian7]

You might aswell buy dagon at that point.

True, still want to see some kind of Aghs for him though.

I'm going to go at 9:15 Saturday morning and pay $6 because I'm a fucking cheapskate. Lucky I was able to get rid of the ticket I had from last night that was $17

 

[Pratfall]

I think I've read about this before, but do you max fervor or berserker rage on troll?

 

[GordonHalfman]

I think fervor is better for roshing and farming, rage for running at people. kvH seems to always take rage second and I think he plays a fairly running at people style:

Zyori almost looks like an adult professional now.

Man, he always builds blink on him. Gotta try that next game.

 

[Chris R]

Don't fail me now Alliance!!! Sizeable bet on them @ 38%

 

[Calidor]

Zyori almost looks like an adult professional now.

Finally. Those dreads were pretty disgusting and immature. Also the pink ribbon was just too much

Heroes of the Storm is getting a Lost Vikings hero. Why are we still here?

Still a bad game.

 

[Chris R]

Alliance ;_;

Muh rares ;_;

 

[RukusProvider]

Na'Vi finding ways to throw like Pros.

 

[Chris R]

Fucking hell, Alliance better win the next game so I get muh items back.

 

[Radec]

That 2nd RP. Sniper just died. lol

 

[Hupsel]

Weaver playable in Overwatch.

"Tracer bounds backward in time, returning her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were a few seconds before."

Fucking hate Weaver.

That is all.

 

[Chris R]

Oh well, there go my rares. Stupid of me to think Alliance could even take a single game off Na'Vi as bad as both teams currently are

 

[JakkuFurosu]

nice to see the friendly banter between the teams

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Heroes of the Storm is getting a Lost Vikings hero. Why are we still here?

Good to see Blizzard leveraging their stable of exciting past IP. Now if only they can give me a Blackthorne hero and Rock N Roll Racing Mount I will truly be set.

 

[Pratfall]

I wish blizzard had good writers. Overwatch's characters are already grating. "It's like TF2 but if every character we're annoying instead of likable!"

This is premature, I know. Maybe they will pull it off fine.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I don't like Synd. Dude puts me to sleep. LD + Merlini all the way.

 

[FACE]

Maelk, some british guy and V1lat casting a 1v1 mid between Qoqjva and random russian flamer.

Spoiler

It's actually just Pajkatt.

 

[Chris R]

Yay, rares secured.

Best part about the Bo2 format

 

[LiQuid!]

Alliance gettin carried by h4nn1.

 

[Drkirby]

Also maybe they're doing an EG chest like the [A] one. They should add Era's Morph set as well at some point.

Maybe, but it still feels a bit light at the moment. They have 3 sets in the workshop and a ward, unless they stick older sets in it too.

For that Interstellar movie, how can I be sure the theatre I go to has a real Imax screen?

 

[Artanisix]

Interstellar is beautiful and I really want to go see it again. Loved it.

It's a bit on the wordy side, but I suspect they did that to help out the non-sciency crowd. Which is perfectly fine, it doesn't take away from the movie to me.

they wont

 

[Artanisix]

Yeah that's my biggest problem with Overwatch. The characters really don't have the charm that Valve characters do.

isn't this LoL ot i thought you guys would be all over waifu angel

 

[Razzer]

Weaver playable in Overwatch.

"Tracer bounds backward in time, returning her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were a few seconds before."

Fucking hate Weaver.

That is all.

I do like that they are taking some inspiration from MOBAs though. A lot of the traits of this genre could be applied to other ones with a little creativity. I'm sure there have been shooters already with abilities that affect movement and such already and I just don't know about them, but it's cool to see.

Edit: Oh and whilst Tracer looks awesome from a gameplay perspective, fuck her accent, as a Brit it just sounds stupid as fuck.

 

[Nymerio]

When I hear Blizzard game + lots of heroes I immediately lose any confidence in the game. I don't have a lot of confidence in Blizzard's balancing abilities.

 

[sixghost]

Yeah that's my biggest problem with Overwatch. The characters really don't have the charm that Valve characters do.

The business model is more concerning.

 

[Drkirby]

I hope VP and Navi don't mess with Polar to much more, they seem like a great team. Wonder if Mag is going to be part of the team full time or just this game.

 

[Cassius]

The business model is more concerning.

I'm done with pay for character games.

Just let me pay you for the game and let me enjoy it.

 

[Drkirby]

The business model is more concerning.

Doesn't matter what the business model is if the game isn't enjoyable.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

+1

FPS is notoriously difficult to balance with just a few classes and weapons. Doing 20+? Best of luck. Ambitious to be sure. A slower more conservative approach would probably have the best results.

 

[sixghost]

Doesn't matter what the business model is if the game isn't enjoyable.

If I was making a list of things would might prevent me from playing a moba-style game, I'd put paying for each character higher up on the list than the personality of the characters.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I'm done with pay for character games.

Just let me pay you for the game and let me enjoy it.

So much this. The game looks great but either make it a one time payment to get everything or bust.
Worst case it will be Pay2Win :shrugs:

 

[Artanisix]

They don't even have a business model in place yet so I'm not sure what you want to talk about there.

 

[sixghost]

People in the gaming thread were saying it's like league. Pay to unlock characters.
