  1. Tribes: Ascend

    Raider with a Jammer pack is basically a not-shit Infiltrator, which is really depressing. What's more depressing is that generators as they stand don't matter. All of the effective flag defenses (claymores, mines, HoF) don't require the generator to be up to do well. Forcefields are nice, but you can't rely on them. Also since the turrets in almost all maps are in terrible places (the turrets on the entry valley/front of the base on Katabatic aren't there, nor are the valleys) it's not a big issue.
  2. Tribes: Ascend

    Oh hey, Infiltrator might have a purpose now. But probably not.
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    No. Possibly love him even more now. I mean really, what.
  4. Life

    We don't typically use it that way, but I lacked another place to express my extreme distaste of the experience of almost dying from milk inhalation.
  5. Welcome, three moves ahead

    Fuckin' mindworms man. The bane of all things. Up until you get those walkabout gun mounts that I forget the name of. Pszorch!
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    My unironic love for all things that include Nicholas Cage acting continues unabated despite the shitstorm that was Spirit of Vengeance.
  7. Life

    To those of you who may have wondered, upon hearing or witnessing someones nose interacting with milk in any fashion; It is horrible and unpleasant. Avoid at all costs.
  8. Absolutely! Any time after noon my time and I'll be there.
  9. Movie/TV recommendations

    I don't disagree with this at all, but I am a firm believer in campy B cinema, and I can watch just about anything in sufficiently good humor.
  10. Kolzig, you need to change the title of the thread to "Maximum disappointment reconfirmed"
  11. DOTA 2

    Lycan is one of those heroes where, if you are left alone enough to farm for X minutes, by X minutes into the game you have a practically guaranteed win. Always be using his wolves to hunt and kill people.
  12. Project Zomboid

    The raider guy has to either be ambushed (hide in the bathroom/whatever) or you can just not do the tutorial. You're meant to die at the end of it anyway.
  13. DOTA 2

    Uh, Dibs, turn off auto-attacking.
  14. DOTA 2

    They have been claimed in exchange for services, I'm so sorry Pirate. @Vogon: I've had to tell everyone so far, but bots don't teach you anything other than how to be godfearing and cowardly. Go play against real people the moment you understand the interface. DotA 2 bots are leagues ahead of LoL bots (kill me), and you won't learn anything useful from them.
  15. DOTA 2

    I lied, I'm so sorry!
  16. Hey, I will fight you sir.
  17. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I originally put this in the music thread, but uh. Yup. tb63PdPweDc
  18. Look at this horrible control you guys have over my desire to do things at four in the morning. http://fanedit.org/7620/ Basically: All instances of Westley Crusher removed. E: You know, sites like fanedit just serve to prove to me how utterly insane superfans can be, but as a fairly huge (but rational ) fan of Trek, I... can't find a way to disagree with those edits.
  19. I am fully in support of this idea. Especially if it means a new forum sub suddenly crops up and I'm inundated with crazy strategy games to try and discuss.
  20. DOTA 2

    I'm beginning to feel like having really good bots in a DotA-like is actually a detriment to new player retention, rather than an aid. If they can balance the Easy bots to play like terrible humans, then fine. As it is, bots are predispositioned to form "stun-lock" teams and hunt you down. Not to mention that bots are stupider the more humans are on their team.
  21. Please enter your birth date to continue.

    I've gotta be perfectly honest. Yes, age gates are nigh-pointless. They do nothing, prove nothing and solve nothing. Flat out not answering them at all, and not using sites/programs with them, because of some perceived injustice is monumentally stupid. Sorry. (But I too wish they would go away.)
  22. Giant Bomb Joins GameSpot

    Ah-ha! wzIfWCAyDyg IS0p-QvqRxw (Can de-embed if too cumbersome.) And the whole live video feed of the podcast.
  23. Welcome, three moves ahead

    Would anyone like a coffee? (Unless that doesn't make it obvious, this is pretty great from my perspective.) They need to get the Longbow guy(s) on to talk about Rome. They aren't saying enough for my liking.
