metzen has no pretensions about what he does, he sticks his stand in character Thrall in a trench coat for an expansion because he thinks it looks cool. A lot of folks get mad about that because it's dumb, something I can't argue in the least.

But there was a time, when I was a child, where I would have told him how cool that was and meant it. We should all be so blessed to have that child within us somewhere, and to be able to pour it into our work.

I decided to not buy Overwatch today but did think about Tracer porn because of this thread. Women with short hair are my thing. Redheads and British Isles accent a bonus.

I did finally get Hexen and I have the expansion on its way here. I am filling up my Id/Raven game collection of whatever weird relationship they had.

I'm thinking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein or the Quake 1-2 mission packs I don't have yet. No cgi chicks porking but much cheaper to buy and I can just enjoy the solo content till I get bored. Since I did Counterstrike and Team Fortress Classic back in the Voodoo 5 days and I'm pretty done with pointless multiplayer.

My life is all the pointless I need.

All of those are legit, but Hexen bugs out at like, 2 key points if you aren't careful. All great for coop.

is it actually good at all?

no. but it's a blizzard game where you always win, so

yeah. tf2 nailed it because they somewhat understood strangelove/military industrial complex/cold war humor and focused on that and it ended up just sharp as a tack. I see overwatch screenshots and im like ok, there are western cowboys and a samurai and an angel and a wow dwarf, what the gently caress is your notion here

their notion is "failed superhero mmo assets that we're trying to recoup money from"

the man has lived the dream of being a video game writer to it's fullest. I don't care if it's not high art, and that's people who pine for old blizzards problem. All of these cinematics and moments and things people remember as deeper or meaningful weren't, it was the pulpy heart string pulling kind of stuff that grabbed you by the balls as a teen

It wasn't about the writing being good, it was just about it resonating with something human and dumb but no less virtuous for any of that. It's conan confronting thulsa doom. It's luke confronting the emperor. It's base and it's nerd, it's not and never was articulated artfully. It's bombastic and loud, it's primal and thoughtless. It's blood and thunder. It's feeling, not the details.

When you start talking to people move away or do they hold you down and staple your loving mouth shut?

Its really not that big of a deal if you want to play it. As someone said earlier you dont even need to aim with all of the characters. It was clearly designed with consoles in mind.

Right I bought this loving thing, and whilst I'm not the best at video games, the loving blue monkey does NOT auto aim, even when I press the Super Power button.

Did you fuckers lie to me or did you mean a different character? If I get sniped one more time I will get very angry and not play this game any more.

I remember being about 10 and looking at all the cool pictures he drew in the warcraft 2 manual. then I'd go to imagination land and pretend I was an orc :)

I liked that the original d2 manual had detailed little lore blurbs for every skill for every character, literally every single one.

Hey Blizzard, next time you give me a bunch of pieces of paper maybe put stuff about the game I'm buying on those pieces of paper.
