And it's PharMercy who go to McD's, but only because they take their child D.va there!

Don't be silly, Soldier 76 is dad and Mercy is mom and DVa is the kid.

Christ obviously, guys.

Maybe they have an open relationship though I dunno.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

D.Va is not so much a child, more of a Doritos-munching & Mountain Dew-chugging gremlin who was raised by people on Xbox Live.

I felt like that should be clarified.

My favorite little thing about Overwatch is how the majority of D.Va fanart focuses on the Dorito Gremlin aspect instead of the usual hypersexed fantasies you tend to get.

Uh anyway so I'm playing SMT IV: Apocalypse and I love how easy demon fusing is in this one - there's a very robust search function that allows you to find specific demons you want to make, whether you have them or not, whether you want to search your compendium for demons to fuse or use specific demons in your inventory, it's great. I see that, for example, there's a level 6 Beast demon required for a specific fusion and I can just search for "Beast" "Level 1-9" "Use Compendium" "Only Demons I Don't Have" and bam, there's the demon I want (it was a cat thing with a hat). No more looking up FAQs and guessing poo poo.

Now I'm not 100% sure on Overwatch lore but I think Reaper just found McCree wandering around being a cowboy in the year 5,000 and was all "well this guy's just batshit enough to join my team before I turn evil" but then McCree didn't want to be evil because cowboys aren't evil so now they're not friends anymore (but nobody told McCree).

Actually McCree was evil first I guess. He was recruited out of a gang on Route 66 as a child by Reaper.

Presumably an EVIL GANG OF FUTURE COWBOYS.

Blizzard have kinda accepted that as D.Va's personality too now. There's a new emote where she sits down in her mech and starts playing videogames while chugging down a can of soft drink and a bag of chips set in the control arms.

anyways, back to little things in games, my example is basically the entirety of black ops 3's campaign, which turn an otherwise run of the mill story into something batshit insane, in a really interesting way. One of the few cases where it was a dream, if indeed that's what it was, makes the story better, not worse.

But most of all, I like how Taylor is a unisex name.

The chips are even D.Vitos if you can angle the camera right. Girl's got merchandising deals.

The only two flaws with BLOPS3's story mode are the always-on requirement (if you lose connection, you're dumped back to the title screen, lol gently caress you Activision) and the fact that the male voice is not actually Norm MacDonald. Other than that it is really, really good.

The end of that first mission is the most visceral thing I've seen in a game in a long time.

In the latest Rocket League update, there is a new mode called Rumble. In it, everyone gets a random power (spikes, harpoon, boxing glove, etc.) every 10 seconds.

If the kickoff timer is 10 seconds or less, you will start with the remaining time -1 second on your power timer.

This means that everyone will have a literal last second chance to score some Hail Mary play because the match doesn't end until the timer is zero and the ball touches the ground.

Fixed.

Anyway, I recently got No Man's Sky and as someone who is terrible at FPSs I'm actually enjoying most of it. My favourite thing is that if you try and be sneaky about shooting down those reinforced doors guarded by Sentinels instead of massacring them, eventually they'll get annoyed and one will hover by the door to stare you down while you try to shoot it.

Huh, far as I've seen, the only people that don't get drawn- because they're boring- are Winston and Bastion. People are generally down with drawing Genji pissing off his brother because 'hey remember that time YOU KILLED ME' or whatever.

I wondered that one myself, because Lucio's legs are so abruptly different to his upper torso, and the knees are pretty drat clearly enclosed joints which are too small to fit a human leg through. They're also present in every single one of his skins, even the sports ones.
