Hm, does Brad block people that easily ?

https://twitter.com/Kenzodielocke/status/741695199341105152

I think that is the only tweet that might've been the reason to block me.

My last tweet to him was https://twitter.com/Kenzodielocke/status/761686979553611776 but I might've been blocked already.

Hm, kinda disappointed if that's the reason why he blocked me, it was a joke.

Probably should have put something like "JK" or ":p" in there.

Not that it's not something silly to block someone for, but remember what kind of community Giant Bomb has, and how much shit they must get every time they do the GOTY lists. I wouldn't be surprised if he thought you were completely serious and looking to for a fight.

People forget that opinions are subjective every.single.year.

Yeah, it was totally a joke, but funnily enought, Shu blocked me because of Bloodborne, too.

I replied with Bloodporn under a trailer he posted on twitter. Well, I am not mad at Brad, I can understand.

That second tweet, sending someone only a link with a non-.com top level domain is probably a quick way of getting blocked since it makes you look like a spammer.

Speaking of GOTY, what the fuck happened to this thread? We're swiftly approaching the final quarter of the year, and nary a post discussing what the list will look like. Last year was non-stop speculation from February onward.

Please don't kill me.

I've never tweeted an inflammatory tweet to anyone (I mostly retweet and make tweets about livestreams/ the odd political comments) but I found out I was banned by The Kevin Dent Twitter through a ' See who has banned you' app.

I remember he is infamous on NeoGAF for being untrustworthy as a source, but that's about it.

A bit puzzling to be honest.

Its Doom
 
I use twitter to follow people and #brands but I dont use it to post anything. I think I only have 2 or 3 people I actually know on there.


I keep saying to myself I should sit down and finish Mankind Divided.

But every time I put it off.

I play overwatch
I watch another Episode of DS9 on netflix
I browse aimlessly for 3 hours.

Somehow I just never end up playing it.


Its been over a week since I touched it.

You can't see who has blocked you on Twitter even via third parties, only unfollows.

It might, but only if Dan goes to bat for it instead of Overwatch. If not, it might be touch and go.

Speaking of Doom, the game is great and all but man
Hell
looks super boring in the game. I was actually dying to get back to gunmetal grey after an hour.

Also it's clear Box Maker is going to sweep.

You don't die to get out of hell, that's how you get to hell.

All this GOTY-DOOM talk lead me to say to myself, I'll try the demo for Doom to see how it runs on my computer before I buy it

Turns out that I need more VRAM for the main menu to open in the demo. It just hard crashed with a message to send to nVidia (not even the devs lol)
I guess the minimum does say 2 gigs of VRAM, maybe it is time to upgrade I suppose.

'sed s/Shenmue/Doom'

Sadface.
 
I played a match of Paladins and I was very confused if it was bad or not.



Then I played a few more matches with XANDER CAGE and yes it's bad
 
I played a few rounds of Paladins and it just felt kind of flat. I thought I was dominating at the game until I realized that the casual matchmaking was matching against bots.
 
Speaking of blocking

Cliffy b blocked me once and then I got unblocked

The only person who's ever blocked me on Twitter (who I never actually tweeted anything to) was Zach Wood, a producer at Sony's Santa Monica Studio (he also happens to be Elijah Wood's older brother). One day, I randomly went to see if he'd tweeted anything related to the games he's produced/is producing (i.e. Sound Shapes and Hohokum) and I saw that I was blocked from viewing his tweets. I'm assuming he went on a blocking purge to keep his Twitter account to people he knows personally (i.e friends/family, industry colleagues).
 
SF5 is a great game with a few stupid missteps. It might be fair to call it a hotter mess because it's a title that could appease a much larger audience if it included a few basic things e.g. put a decent tutorial and arcade mode in the game instead of a trash story mode. I don't think No Man's Sky is a huge mess outside of every element of the PR being a shit show.

The thing is the core gameplay of SFV is still top notch and fun to play.

Meanwhile No Man's Sky is just plain boring and terrible, so it's much easier to throw that one under the bus for hottest mess.
