If you have Origin accounts, check your transactions and poo poo. Found out, thankfully not the hard way, that accounts are being charged with others' purchases, some people got accounts locked when petitioning for refund.

I'm probably snowflake gamer, but I seem to live in alternate universe where Origin support is garbage but Steam support is quick and efficient, and not dumb.

The one time I needed to contact steam support they were quick and efficient also, and fairly sensible. I lost my account password and username so they just asked me for a photo of the copy of HL2 I'd registered the account with, including CD key. Got the account within a day or so.
I've also had only account/store-related issues. I don't think through all dozen or so tickets I've made I had one I did wait more than 4 business days for the issue to be resolved.

Numerous reasons did gave me neither time or money to play things released in 2014.

2014: what I liked:
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls was fun with friends.
ArcheAge with commies on Korean server was fun.
Elite: Dangerous is cool with goons.

2015: looking forward to:
Getting done with my wishlist and some other games done.

I like drama on Internet.

quote:

Today you may see Storifys floating around trying desperately to prove that I maliciously ruined a charity stream (for a charity I am partnered with). These Storifys will not include the initial reaction of the streamer in which he flipped out and insulted me and I doubt they will include many if any of the 300+ people who within the hours following, sent threats of violence, insults and as many wishes as possible that the cancer get me quickly. They will I'm sure include the tweets in response in which I call them crazy and stupid for these threads and their reaction. I stand by those statements 100%. These are people who have constructed a narrative in their heads in which I am a villain. They know very little of me of course, only what they've been told. Maybe they read that stupid SA post from 8 years ago, practically a lifetime on the internet and made their assumptions there. Maybe they just believe in the guilty by association fallacy and have ignored the focus on ethics and condemnation of harassment that has been going on for YEARS on my channel.

I remember the day in which I said publicly that I was pro Gamergate, it was accompanied by an image that said this "I support women in gaming, I condemn harassment, I am against biased and corrupt games journalism". What pushed me off the fence? A dell employee crazy enough to call everyone involved in the hashtag as "worse than ISIS". As John Clees said, the biggest enemy of any extremist is the moderate. As the insanity went on more and more people came off the fence because of just how awful people were being. I have during this entire thing never engaged in harassment, but I've certainly received a great deal of it and for what? Speaking out about the same things I've been saying since my Mailbox videos in 2011? That games media can do a better job at being less incestuous? Disclosing its friendships? Maybe not writing about people you live with without telling people first? Not treating your readers like idiots? Not claiming "oh yeah we don't accept gifts from publishers" before taking pictures of giant expensive custom flags that you hung on your wall, or selling off custom Bayonetta gun models on ebay for your own personal profit? I get it man, games media doesn't pay that well unless you're big on Youtube but lemme tell you this, honesty costs nothing. But yes that great crime and yesterday for promoting a stream for a charity with whom as of last month I have an OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP WITH, I was bombarded with threats and even had an irrelevant ex-NFL player demand that games developers following him seriously reconsider working with our company.

Let me tell you Chris why companies work with us. Because we have a 5 year history of professionalism, honesty and fairness. With that we were able to build an audience that eclipses the vast majority of traditional games media and that is only going to grow come 2015. Youtube has outpaced traditional games media to the point where its relevance, at least when it comes to reviewing or even previews, is becoming more tenuous by the day. Those who do not adapt to this change in media consumption will surely fall by the wayside. Those of us did well, we are where we are now. Somehow, I doubt that 5 years of building relationships with these companies and proving time and again that they can trust us to do a good job, is going to be undone by your online warbling. It might however, make developers think twice before working with you, knowing that you are such a volatile public person whose priority seems to be a misguided political agenda built on falsehood and wilful misrepresentation of the facts. Not a spokesperson I would personally engage with for my company, certainly not.

I thoroughly condemn the idea that my followers and viewers are horrible people who would engage in harassment. I accept the obvious, that in such a huge group there will be some assholes and I also accept the reality that I can do nothing about that. I will not apologise for things I did not do or provoke, I will not apologise for defending my audience. Feel free to do the appropriate mental gymnastics to justify your horrendous abuse, if you were one of the ones who perpetrated it. Despite how hurtful yesterday was, I'm kind of glad it happened. It exposed some of these people for what they truly are. Vicious, deluded, self-righteous abusers. If someone like that tells you you are part of a hate group, tell them to look in a mirror.

To be fair they have this Russian "two boots form a pair" thing going on for them, if I remember well the details of Starcraft drama involving TB's wife.

Lucca Blight posted:

What was the drama?
So, ATC is Acer TeamStory Cup (SC2 tournament), Genna is TB's wife, Take (Dennis) is chief of TaKeTV, organizer of ATC. Axiom is TB's (legally Genna's, back then) Starcraft 2 team.
  • Axiom announces they can't afford the travel costs to attend the ATC offline finals.
  • The StarCraft community (mainly TL in this instance) got mad, giving Axiom poo poo for dropping out so close to the tournament date.
  • Genna makes a long blog post outlining the reasons they dropped out and the measures they took to try and prevent in in the first place. This includes chat logs with Take where Take mentions that he will try (unsuccessfully) to get more money from Acer to assist Axiom with travel costs.
  • According to Genna, Take sent Genna angry messages concerned that her posting the chat logs between them would paint Acer (his sponsor) in a bad light and vaguely threatens some kind of legal action.
  • Genna resigns.
That's kind-of short and vague description. For the long version you can read Genna-1, Genna-2, Dennis, end. While it came down to a relatively calm settlement, the initial shitstorm was amazing.

That's because it's aftermath company/company perspective and a cautiously made description of events. It gets way better when you read stuff from when most people knew nothing and just started throwing poo poo at the fans. Looking up all the discussion threads is :effort: so I ended up just giving brief overview and not some "LMAO!!111" material.

Newports count. Smoking "Lithuanian way" is to have like a single cigarette for bunch of people and letting it go circle with everyone drawing once and passing to the next guy. I have no idea what are blunts of reggie, so can't say about that.
