What game is it

When I was in high school we spent many a class period playing Quake 3.

Thems were the days.

Gigantic.
A moba. Game is fine and all but I'm not too big on moba's. I don't play dota or league or any moba really. Is overwatch a moba?

Now next month when the Tekken 7 tournament starts is where i'm going to shine.

In 4th year we were allowed 10 minutes at the end of IT to play games so I installed Unreal Tournament 99 onto all the machines.

That entire year I came 1st in all but 2 of the unreal matches, then some older pupils put counterstrike on all the PCs and my esports careet was dead :(

My choice of college was informed more than I should probably admit by an afternoon spent playing network games with the ACM chapter at one of them.

Now in grade school, we put Bolo on all the Centrises in the computer lab :corsair:

Ah cool. I thought so.
Company is fine with playing games during work time. Even encourages it.

Every day i'm tempted to open the ports for PS4 Remote play and install FF14 on my work PC
I know I wouldn't get any work done if I did that.

It has abilities on a cooldown, though, which is all a game needs to get called a MOBA by people who hate them.

Not always. Sometimes you look down a sword instead and contribute nothing

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


It's always amazing to me that the stereotype of the Hanzo/Genji slampicker is so universally mocked, yet there are people who still do it in every single game. It's like how guidos and juggalos still exist.

It is because every Genji player thinks they are that one-in-a-million Genji solo player who is actually good and styles on the enemy team.

They are not.

There are more decent Hanzos than Genjis. I'll pick Genji occasionally to kill a turret or jump around because I don't give a poo poo, though.

I keep forgetting about Winston in particular. It shows that the game can go weirdass places beyond just humans vs robots and I'm pretty excited to see what's next.

I tried playing the JP demo when it popped up and failed miserably since it seems to be an Aquanauts Holiday sort of game and you need to be able to read the language.

Though it has an English demo up with the game's release so I'm going to try it, but it's also strangely on sale on PSN for 25% off which doesn't seem to bode well?

Birthdays the Beginning, it's not really anything like Harvest Moon though unless you're thinking of farming dinosaurs?

I haven't really been following it/I remember watching some preview for it a few months ago and thinking it looked neat. It's called Birthdays: The Beginning







I think it's some kind of god/simearth type game. I actually didn't know there was a demo though so I'll go try that later

One thing overwatch does have in common with mobas is that the text chat is just absolute cancer to a sometimes mind boggling degree! People are incredibly rude to each other sometimes for literally no reason. none. literally none. it's a video game. loving chill out.
