London is shit. Don't bother

cs:go is boring as hell to watch (and play) it's not even comparable to 1.6 unfortunately so slow and random

Yeah, Aztec is almost as well balanced as cs_assault

Since when was mapcore a TV show?!

Actually, it's TaZ, Neo, Snax, pasha and byali.

Ah cool, don't know Snax and byali but the other 3 are legit. Anybody claiming these guys cheat is pretty lolworthy, they've been world class players for so many years now, won so many offline tournaments...

oh shit VP have the old pentagram lineup playing for them, NEO kuben and LoordB etc? Did not even realise .... yeah those guys are unquestionably legit, and top dudes.

TBH if you don't prefire like shit in tournament play, you're bad at the game. Seriously, when you know the positions and spots, prefiring an empty position means you wasted what 4-5 bullets? If you hit, you just got a free pick which is a HUGE deal - potentially round-winning if it does something like force a rotation or position change.

e/ and it's not like Virtus.Pro are an unknown org either, back in the day they recruited the original NaVi lineup before they left to become NaVi - you know, starix, Zeus, markeloff, Edward ... those world-leading players. I'm pretty sure VP wouldn't have people who cheat representing them (even beyond how difficult it is to cheat at an offline tournament AT ALL when you turn up, plug your mouse/keyboard/headset into a tournament PC and play from there)...

Seems like a bunch of NDs leadership have left recently, what with Amy Hennig, Richard LeMarchand ... didn't Jacob Minkoff leave aswell ?

50 gig for a multiplayer-only shooter with 15 maps? Is he fucking joking?

That moment in arena when you drop Onyxia, Counter-Spell your opponent's Mind Control attempt, and then Mirror Entity his Core Hound drop. #ruined

i haven't really played anything on PC since Soldier of Fortune 2

Get out.

Not doing it for me ...

I know we're definitely hiring for a VFX position here if you guys know anyone!

Seems like quite an ... irrational move?

he doesnt even play FPSs

Was going to sign up, realised I needed Origin to play, decided it wasn't worth it.

I don't think I'd actually seen it before I started at CA.

How many times have you had to watch Alien now guys? I could think of worse things to do. Dickheads.

I think I've been forced to sit through the whole film 3 times so far, we have several wall-mounted TVs in the studio of which always at least one is playing the movie on loop 24/7.

A fiver says its a new IP / non-batman license.

Quote from Thrik

There was a recent controversy about filtering UK internet, but in reality that's turned out to be a bit of a non-event and is only really an issue for those who don't pay the bill

Are you serious? I wouldn't call enforced state censorship "a bit of a non-event". You just need to look to China to see where that can lead.
