I do like the fact that the two 'Australian characters are both horrible looking.

At least there isn't a Crocodile Dundee stereotype I guess.

Junkrat is the greatest

I also highly enjoy the fact that both their names are Object+Animal

Junkrat is the greatest though. He has an unlockable line where he says 'happy birthday'. Why? I don't know but it's the greatest

 

[Data West]

For all you know, Roadhog is handsome as Drew under that gas mask

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ooh boy, I'm finally getting around to watching the Overwatch QL and I guess I really do have to play it. Before Doom, even.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It might surprise you all.

But australia is actually like that.

[Fantastapotamus]

I also love the TF2 cast, and there was even less to them when that game launched, so yeah.

Hope that didn't come across as super condescending, didn't meant it that way.

It might surprise you all.

My real name is WhipWallaby.

That's still an upgrade over somebody I knew whose name was Sydney Sunshine.

What do you know about knives?

 

[Death Metalist]

YES

Great, just in time for E3.

Who will win Overwatch hero character of the year?

We all know it's Torbjörn, his turret will haunt your dreams.

I've heard him say "why so serious" so he's clearly not the greatest. Roadhog #1

Hope that didn't come across as super condescending, didn't meant it that way.

No, I totally get it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

What do you know about knives?

Oh don't get me started.

Fucking german spies.

 

[Strax]

Roadhog is pretty much Pudge so there's a chance Brad will filibuster for him due to his Dota loyalty.

He sure is.

Which Overwatch character would you want each Giant Bomb employee to cosplay as if they were your Dad?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Which Overwatch character would you want each Giant Bomb employee to cosplay as if they were your Dad?

Well, Vinny would be Zenyatta since he's already almost bald. And he'd probably stick robotic arms on himself with LED lights on his forehead.

 

[BanGy.nz]

You should have done what I did with SW4: Empires: enter John Cena and other WWE wrestlers as characters and bury any Japanese warrior foolish enough to stand in the way of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect.

I laughed and now my throat is on fire and I'm pretty sure I'm about to cough up my lungs, I hate you and John Cena.

Or JobGOB from Arrested Development doing a magic show.

I should watch this show again.

I keep thinking that's Cooking Mama in the corner for some reason

 

[bearythebear]

Fuck. I really want to play overwatch but it's hard to justify a $80 CAD purchase. I don't know it's legs on console (remember TF2 on PS3?) and blizzard stuff is never on sale.

The difference is that Blizzard will be able to keep update parity between versions.

Oh yeah, TF2 on PS3. That did exist. That was port EA hired out for the Orange Box. Crazy. I forgot about that. As far as I know it didn't fair well on the 360 either.

Holy shit. TF2 was on home consoles. I totally forgot about that.

So did Valve.

 

[def sim]

I remember TF2 on console being pretty dang active for a while. IIRC, what killed it was a total lack of support.

 

[TraBuch]

Remember when Gaben was on Sony's stage at E3? That was weird.

blessing in disguise, in a way

it's nice to have a super vanilla version to fall back on, especially considering all of the shit that's happened to the game on PC

 

[TraBuch]

People still playing it?

 

[Salarians]

So did Valve.

Yep. Even after the final patch, Dustbowl was left completely broken. The vast majority of my time playing TF2 was on the 360 version. I do have fond memories of people hacking the game and bringing HL2 objects into 2Fort.

dustbowl was basically a race by red's medics to shoot the engineer up to the hole in the geometry so he can set up the turret where it can't be attacked

Spoiler

and it was beautiful

 

[ryseing]

That's Tracer though

YOU EVER GET THAT FEELING OF DEJA VU?

The absolute worst thing though was allowing hosts to set limits on characters. It was extremely common for hosts playing as engineers to disallow spies completely, or spy hosts to not allow pyros. Such a pain trying to find a game without these limits being taken advantage of.

 

[Incandenza]

There was still a small community of people who kept playing the console version of TF2 for a really long time. I'm always fascinated by tiny little communities like that. IIRC I once stumbled upon people who were still playing the multiplayer demo for Medal of Honor Allied Assault years after that game had come out.

Was that was something introduced way late into the game? I remember it, but I don't recall it being that much of a problem.

 

[Salarians]

I was just reminded of the nightmare chat room the Phantasy Star Universe demo became...

Was that was something introduced way late into the game? I remember it, but I don't recall it being that much of a problem.

It was added with what ended up being the final patch. Good idea in theory but it was easily abused. Forced one-class-only matches were occasionally fun.

I bet there are people still playing the Unreal Tournament demo. I spent more hours playing that demo online than I do most games.

The worst part is her manchild personality WHEEEEE

 

[daydream]

i played the demos of the bad company games for a relatively long time

they only had like two maps tops but y'know

football only needs one map amirite

I think I played a game of Madden 2003 in 2009 or 2010 on PC. Got crushed.

Since 2011 I just download the FIFA demos to play with my friends locally, its the only mode we care about.

Yeah, I suppose I can see why people would like that. I remember several years after its release, someone made a thread here saying there is still a community on the 360 version playing some pure ass TF2. I wonder if those lunatics are still around.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

you guys need to stop making me feel nostalgic for things that were only one generation ago

This talk is tempting me to boot up some old shit just to see which games still have active communities.

I'd do that, but booting up my 360 only ever ends in me playing Skate 2 for five hours

I wonder if people still play the first three Call of Duty games and are really adamant that Modern Warfare is where it all went off the rails, man

 

[Piston Hyundai]

well god damn it thanks a lot guys now I'm playing Skate 2

 

[TraBuch]

Nobody ever talks about Skate 1. Was that not a good game?

the first game's good, but why play it when the sequel is better in pretty much every way
