I legit have no idea where that part of my title came from, cause I'm pretty nonviolent in general.

Also what Snapchat said - I posted the story of my title a couple pages back because it involved making hundreds of videogame nerds real, real mad.

Rocket League has been lots of fun this weekend if I stop trying to score or defend and just ram an opposing player as much as possible. Continually keeping a top scorer out of play isn't easy as the cars are too manoeuvrable and there's not much voice interaction even on PC, but I've caused a few obvious ragequits or had guys stop going for the ball and concentrate on trying to play bullfighter. The game is also full of Brazilians who will stop playing and start typing once they get upset, which leaves you free to ram them back into their own net.

Another easy way to get on someone's nerves is to reply with "Thanks!" to all of the pre-fab text compliments. Take credit for goals against your team, say "Nice Save!" after you demolish someone's car, etc. You don't get the same screaming and death threats you would from other games or even Italian soccer players, but watching the target of your abuse carefully... you just know.

In TF2 one of the Engineer's secondary weapons is the Short Circuit, which is a goofy robot arm that can destroy projectiles (like rockets and sticky bombs), using Metal for ammo. A recent patch made the Short Circuit usable during the end of a match, even if your team has lost.

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

How much damage does the primary attack of the Short Circuit do at the moment? Because I remember it being very minimal to the point that it was pretty humiliating to be killed by it.

The video appears to have been made with attack numbers on, and if everything is accurate, yeah, it's a fairly piddling 20 damage for a relatively slow attack, which does add a certain charm.

It doesn't show you where any players are, it just shows where objectives are. You can get an idea of it because the radius to interact with an objective is like 15 meters so if you're messing with a point and can tell someone else is messing with it and look around, you can reasonably figure that the dork intently playing with their phone is the other player nearby.

I don't play a ton of Ingress but at one point I spent a few weeks messing around with it and the people I met who played it (there's in game local chat, some of the people on my team met up with me and dropped items to help me get started) all seemed chill. I've talked to some people on the other team when I realized someone was nearby and figured out who it was, and no one was like "EW GROSS YOURE A BLUE PLAYER DIE BLUE SCUM" they were just like 'oh hey you're the blue guy blowing stuff up here? Nice, I can repair it for XP and you can keep blowing it up for more XP and we can both get something out of it.'

A war of attrition in a game of infinite resources is hard to get super worked up about unless you're a turbo nerd, and most turbo nerds don't like games that take physical exertion. The fact that you have to get up and physically run around to play is an immediate no-go for a lot of neckbeards.

The fact that Ingress encourages more physical activity is actually why I'm playing it, if you do want to unintentionally grief someone playing this game by playing the game as it's meant to you should try to find a portal with a lot of links holding up a good bunch of fields and destroying the resonators around it, sure it's entirely possible to get it set up again but it would require a portal key from one of the two portals you wish to link and if there's a lot of portals you'd want to link and you'd have to hack most of them to get their portal key....Yeah you can see how much travelling you'd need to do to get that multi-link portal back up again, especially if that field was cross-continental.

I like Ingress for what it is, but I live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and (at least, the last time I checked) the nearest portal is a 10 minute drive away.

poo poo. You gained 24 stars.

Stars are a thing you get when you commit crimes, and having over a certain amount will make angry police robots chase you. Also, if you end up in jail, the stars determine the length of your sentence.

Never played it but from what I heard it sounds like one should play HellMOO for that specific experience.
