    So if you all recall I had the worst set of placement matches this season. I can't remember how many now but it was like 50% involved people disconnecting. As a result I think I went in at 1300/Bronze

    Well I've pulled myself out of that hole and managed to get to gold. Generally I've played as roadhog because he can help when your comp is low on tanks/support and have crappy dps. On a better comp I tend to just play whatever role is needed.

    There was this one night where there was a team of 2 and one of them was this stoner Canadian guy who was talking all spiritually about the game between bong hits. Saying things like "play the character you want man and let the spirit take you over" or "dude, just go with it and have positive vibes, we will win that way". We had such a great game we teamed into a group of 6 and won something like 7 games in a row.

    That was one of the most charismatic strategic stoner hippies I ever played with. :D

    I might try again, 3rd time's the charm right? :) :edit: Started studying on evenings after work early this year, and today i got an A on my first course, "Graphical Illustration". So goddamned happy!

    I'm not sure what a curator is but if it's for a referral and it's covered by your government system that's good. In Canada psychologists aren't covered. Cost me 110$ an hour. That's probably a big reason I stopped going :X

    So that sounds like a psychiatrist, not a psychologist. Generally (at least in canada) those are the ones that prescribe medicine but don't really do as much regarding to working it out.

    i was put on anti-depressants at one point and decided I would rather sometimes be depressed than take those pills. They felt like a mini-lobotomy. Essentially I prefer to have big high's and lows rather than live in what feels a muted mind. I'm not saying those pills are bad or anything. It's just my personal choice.

    I did see a psychologist for about a year a long time ago. At the time I wasn't sure if it was helping but now years later, in retrospect I think it was beneficial.

    Speaking of which. How are people liking Orisa?

    I havent used her a lot but I've seen a few uses of her and Rein on Eichenwald and between both of their sheilds it gets pretty nuts

  • Dark Souls 3

    Could everyone please stop releasing awesome games for about 3 years so I can catch up?

    I've been holding off from playing the previous DLC so I can do a brand new run with both DLC.

    I agree but this is Blizzard. I don't think they would be down with releasing something that isn't super polished.

    Personally I'd be happy with a collection of half-broken maya python scripts that need to be wrangled to work.

    On that note. Has anyone looked at the shipping asset files? Maybe I'll take a look sometime. Who knows? Maybe there's enough there to go off of.

  • Overwatch

    Yeah I suspected that was the case. I'm guessing it's very bare bones right now or it's just some light tooling on top of maya/max.

    If the map compiler and format specs were to be released then maybe someone from the community could make an editor ;)

  • God of War

    It looks great but I'm worried it will have God of War's gameplay. Similar to uncharted4. A beautiful game that was super boring.

    Now if they had platinum design the gameplay for god of war. THEN I would be very interested :)
