Saturnine Tenshi

1979 Revolution, Shadowrun: HK, and Out There were my only summer sale purchases.

It's just that his hitboxes are huuuuuge. I tend to save Tracer's grenades for groups or high priority, stationary targets like Bastion or Torb and hit turret. But they're still weak as fuck. One of the weakest ults in the game, I'd say. As far as D.Va's ult is concerned, not only is the radius enormous, and the blast powerful as fuck, but it also serves as pretty hefty point denial.

I find it hard to believe people are buying $450k worth of Tinybuild's games.

I think he's a good character to have when it comes to design and his place in counter tactics. I just think he's too powerful at the moment. Immobilization is oftentimes a death sentence, and his projectiles are far too strong with too much utility. I agree about Hanzo. The hitboxes for his attacks are what make him so brutal. You can just spam and get kills pretty easily. Not to mention his ultimate. Speaking of ultimates, I think Tracer's is way too weak. Very small radius and hardly any damage. And gremlin D.Va is grand. Blizzard should make a skin for that.

I'm starting to get sick of Overwatch. Junkrat and Hanzo are both such a load of shit. But especially Junkrat. Just hold left-click and get great damage plus area denial. You don't even have to aim, really. Oh, and you drop bombs on death. Oh, and you get a trap that immobilizes.

I'm intrigued. Just wondering how much depth it'll have and whether the execution will impress.

INCOHERENCE!

Uplay worked absolutely fine for me when I was playing Assassin's Creed and Child of Light. What's the fuss? It's no worse than Steam at this point besides selection.

Yeah, her beam ticks quickly get out of hand, which most players don't seem to respect. I'd treat her like a Mcree and avoid close range. Unless you're on a tank or some character who can easily counter.

I don't really keep up with E3 anymore. Haven't cared for the ceremony of the thing in at least ten years. So no celebrating or taking time off. But it's nice to watch all the trailers and other videos that are released. Generally I'm just linked them or see them on Twitter or whatever. You'd think there'd be a site dedicated to just gathering E3 videos in one place by now.

Bought the two latest Witcher books to be officially translated. I'm a bit behind. >_>

For someone who enjoyed the first game as much and as vocally as I did, I haven't really been keeping up with 2. I suppose it's in the hopes that I'll come into it fresh (as with most games I think I'll enjoy). What's the general impression you guys have of it?

Mainly Overwatch, Civ5, and weekly raids in GW2. I've been pretty terrible at keeping up with gaming lately. 99% of the news I catch is word of mouth through IRC or Skype.

I fucking love Symmetra. I tend to play Symmetra on defense (whenever an escort isn't moving), or Tracer at most other times. I'll switch if the team comp calls for it, but those are my mains. As much as I enjoyed the randomness of this (last?) week's brawl, it seems as if it boiled down to a team getting a good comp then dominating. Since you don't get the opportunity to swap to address the other team's heroes, you're easily boned. ZAP ZAP ZAP http://darrelldrake.tumblr.com/post/145817079424

Maybe it's for the best!

Yep. Someone I know who hardly ever plays first-person shooters, especially in a competitive environment, has clocked many more hours than I have. I think that's the main reason why.

Can't wait. Although it's kinda strange that they're censoring this one.

Here's hoping it lives up to or surpasses the first game.

Need to read both of those books, FDS and Thursday.

Another one of my cat. This one's pretty loony.

That sucks. Online is all right and all, but it's the campaign that I really enjoyed. That and all of the people I played with moved on to Rocket League and whatever.
