Trust me when I tell you that would not be enough for him to lose his French accent, even if he'd gone to university in the US. The only way he could have a native US accent is if he were of US origin. :v:

I can't believe Hard is ignoring my hard-hitting questions about the ~lore~.

The only way he would have an American accent like that is if he had an American parent and grew up speaking English with them pretty much exclusively, but he has the Frenchest name possible. :v:

I mean, you could only be named with one family name and still learn both language growing up but the real boring answer might be that the french actor got sick the day of the recording and they took some other dude, who knows.

It was only after he switched to a female operator and started role playing as an adventure game with a high pitched scottish voice that he became the best pubbie.

someone sent me a youtube link advertising a esp and wallhack program, is that actually allowed on youtube?
also what is the legality of selling something like that?

lohli
Jun 30, 2008
IIRC there isn't anything legally wrong with it, the logic that gets used by companies like blizzard(who have pursued quite a few people selling cheats) tends to be that it's selling users stuff that violates the ToS/EULA or that cheat tools create a detrimental user experience which damages the reputation of the game.

Could also go the DMCA angle if something is cryptographically protected and is broken as part of a hack.

We don't have a SPAS15 in the game yet so it might be one of those, could be another Super90 user though!

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
I take back what I said earlier about the hacking problem not being that bad. My group has ranked up enough to be routinely matched against platinums and diamonds now and it's starting to get absurd. Two days in a row we've been in games where it's devolved to the point where they were straight up shooting us as we spawned in with no attempt to hide it whatsoever, taunting us in the chat as they did it.

The worst part is that nearly every game we get accused of it ourselves- including the two where we fought the overt hackers. We beat them both in the first round and I dunno if they rationalized that the only way we could possibly win is by hacking so "we should just hack in response" or what but it's getting pretty loving irritating.

I still think that at the lower ranks it's not much of a thing, so for new players it shouldn't be that much of a concern, but at this rank it's just unbearable.

People take winning in a video game way too seriously. They rationalize that everyone else is hacking so they gotta hack too to stay competitive. To them the fun isn't playing the game, it's winning the game.

No idea what it was in the beta, but now it has a third as much range as it used to (13m vs 10).
