How is Drow not a hero?
I mean that she's not a viable pick right now. Historically she's always been a famine or feast type of hero, like Doom or Lycan meaning that depending on the patch she's either 1st pick/ban material or, at best, very situational.

TBH people have every right to not want to be spoiled on something regardless of how old said product is. Now obviously if you get spoiled on a game or tv show thats over 20 years old its not a big deal. But spoiling a game thats less than a year old in a non-OT thread is a bit crappy, especially when PC only players cant even play it yet.

Im hit or miss on spoilers and I guess it depends on the product. Like if im watching a serious drama show I dont want to be spoiled half way through that the main character dies at the end.

My friend is super against spoilers. Even with stuff like Nintendo Directs. He literally asks me to send him VODs of directs if he misses them so he can watch it later instead of just reading about all the announcements. But thats his choice. I’m not going to judge him because thats not anyones business but his.

If someone is against spoilers ill respect it. Its not like its hard to avoid talking about them. People expect different things from entertainment, and everyone should just let each other enjoy things the way they want.

Again, spoilers phobes and the shitty corporate enabling advertisement campaigns driving this shit are far worse than the so called "spoiler meanies" or whatever the phobes call people who intentionally spoil. I won't intentionally spoil but I'm not going to censor myself in certain contexts reflexively like people want.

Official advertising as something that is a protected "SPOILER", sorry, can't respect that, grow the hell up.

Bring on the downvotes. I guess everyone listened to Thanos (made up medicore villain)!

6 likes for Arsene's post, 0 for mine. Spoiler phobia is everywhere. I wouldn't be so pissed if it wasn't affecting how I could talk about media in real life. Like all of the time I open my mouth to ask if people have seen the new when someone cuts me off with "NO SPOILERS" or "DON'T TELL ME". Like WTF, we're all adults here. (aggravation comes from my family and the local club I'm a part of).

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion ( :giggle: ), but if anyone is looking to buy the game Knights and Bikes, and is interested in getting some DLCs that are otherwise unavailable, I have a key for sale that includes 2 kickstarter exclusive DLCs, and immediate access to the game in our buy/sell/trade thread:

Spoiler in a dedicated thread is understandable, somewhat. Random hey Twin Peaks Laura Palmer was killed by [x], you can fuck off with that one muchacho. And it doesn't matter how old Twin Peaks is.
You can discuss stuff with your family etc after they actually watch that shit and you have in fact something to discuss.

Honestly being against spoiler tags on Internet forums is one of those things I’ll never understand. Like, all the info you need is one more click away, it won’t change a thing for you but it might change a lot for somebody else. Don’t be an entitled jerk.

Obviously there’s a limit to that, like when people bitch and moan about not talking about official trailers because they supposedly contain spoilers. Free to think that, but you should be the one to take extra measures and avoid some places in that case, people can’t put a whole thread under spoilers because you don’t want to watch an official trailer.

In real life I know how fucking stressful avoiding spoilers is because I watch every single NBA game on demand since they’re on late at night here and when I know the score I just can’t enjoy the game at all. Of course I know I need to cut people some slack so I don’t mind when someone says vague comments like “wow that dunk by this players was amazing!” or “wow what a great game!” but I’d get very pissed if someone who knows I watch games on demand came and told me the score anyway because they felt entitled to do so.

:(:(:(

Guess I missed out on the meta when she was first pick. I always come back to DotA after everyone else gets buffed and IceFrog just toys around with her agi gains.

Game looks great and the art style is all sorts of awesomesauce!

Hope you enjoy it and give us your impressions
Yeah, I think it looks great! I'll definitely share some thoughts once I get a chance to check it out.

I just fired it up for a second but don't have time to play it right now. One thing that disappointed me right away is that it doesn't look like there is any option to use a mouse, even in the menus... So, controller it is, I guess. Obviously not a deal-breaker... just not a great choice on PC.

While EA is doing anti-captialist cheese, can they resurrect Crusader and give us Crusader: No Mercy?
A game about a soldier fighting an evil government/corporation for labour rights would fit right into 2019

Subcontract to a third party studios worth a damn and make it like Max Payne

HELL YEAH

Enslaved has pre-rendered cutscenes


They have all the ugliness of bloom and ps360 console limitations


Behold how thanks to PC gaming, we can free these games from these oppressive disgusting shackles, though we must still suffer the pitiful weak Captialist consoles' limitations, the sum is greater than its parts

I run a discussion/gaming club for all things geek, I know how to ask if everyone's seen something or is ok with discussing it, pal. What I don't need is people shouting "don't tell me" before I can even ask if it's ok to discuss it. Happens IRL and online. Also, it's been fucking 20 years, Anakin Skywalker is Luke's father and he's also darth Vader.

Official advertisements and conferences are never spoilers, full stop and fuck the sancity of surprise reveals from a major corp. Someone people would spoilers tag the hardware on the ps5 I swear to God.

I'm going to see my twin bro in an hour, I love the dude but he has a serious spoilers problem.

Yes I have a spoiler axe to grind and I know it.

Stop what y'all are doing: Best Boy SonicFox has a charity stream running and he is collecting donations towards The Trevor Project


Scroll down to see the link for donating

looks so much better without the green piss filter
Seriously, what was up with making everything with a green filter? Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, it's not wonder people were brainlessly praising Uncharted graphics, it's like these companies had an uncontested rule that you gotta apply a green filter for your 'AAA' ps360 game, or at worst Bloom :V
To be fair, at the least they made their first one or two games with such a green filter and later releases were...at worst using Bloom :V

what voodoo do you do to get these results?
Used Nvidia inspector for SSGSS Anti Aliasing. Then I found MonkeyEngine.ini in my Documents folder and editted out Bloom and all other unneeded effects such as DOF or motion blur. I raised the FOV to 100 and am gonna try a screenshot later. Might raise to 110 if I feel like it :p
Also Metal Wolf Chaos is an American Treasure

YES!!! (still one of the best Telltale games!)
I officially hate you. :cry:

Not really. :cat-heart-blob:

But I'll explain: I own all games that Telltale released, but Wallace & Gromit is the only one I never re-bought on Steam. :confounded-face:
I bought it directly from the Telltale website (with the company gone, I won't be able to re-download it, in case I lose my files), and since the game was removed without warning, I never managed to get a copy of it on Steam.

So, it's time for my now habitual plea: if anyone has an unredeemed Steam key for it (it was part of a Humble bundle), and is willing to trade it either for keys to other games (I own a giant number of games from bundles or crowdfunding campaigns), or sell it to me for a reasonable price, please send me a PM. :giggle:

Agreed!
Less purchasing and more playing of video games too, or is that against Meta Steam rules? :LOL:
absolutely against the rules ... playing games is for nerds ;)

This sucks so much Funktion. I did a bit of searching and it seems that the bundle were this was included (Humble Weekly Telltale) gave only two keys, one for TWD and one of the rest of the games, so finding one of those keys, if they still are out in the wild with someone, will be hell.

Funny and sad how many cool games from late 00's to early 10's can't be bought legally anymore and are almost impossible to find. Looking at you too, Blur.

Yeah sorry guys, I don't even know how I found it in me to utter such filth. Only one way to fix this now...



I've been wanting to get it ever since that embodiment of perfection of a developer went basically like this all over Tim Sweeney



Doesn't hurt that the game looks absolutely beautiful and that I've had it in my wishlist ever since its Steam page went up last year! It's also now the 4,000th game I own on Steam so there's that ;)

Darq is awesome, amazing effort for only one person. The only issue I've had is the default controller set up, there are some conflicts on the ds4 at least. Right trigger is used for sprint but opens the menu as well! Stealth and shift 90 deg. are also mapped to the same key.

My PC is pretty close to my router and I never had such a problem, although it's a newer model from X1. Dunno what can be done if the interference is so strong...
