General Off Topic / Re: France under attack....

ISIS have lost a lot of ground this year so far. But it's slow. I guess because they have so many supporters and are quite well organised/equipped.

In fairness that was because they betrayed him whilst they were under attack by the Meccans.

I can never get on with D.va. Think it's just my play style but I suck at getting in close and really utilising her skill set. Shooting at range just seems to do bugger all. But I've played against some good players who were great at using the jet skill to get in close quickly and then tear apart the team with close ranged shots.
What is with idiotic players vs Bastion? O yeah let's just keep running in the same direction in to a camping Bastion with no thought for perhaps changing to a character that can pick him off at range.
Had one escort map where the Bastion just set up at the back of the initial capture point and got a ridiculous number of kills. I seemed to be the only one attempting to take him out at range.
Some people just seem to pick a character and then stick with it no matter how badly they are doing as if they don't realise you can switch it up mid game.

General Off Topic / Re: Art
« on: July 11, 2016, 04:26:16 pm »
I went back to the Tate Modern a few weeks ago and whilst some of it is interesting, the only 'art' I could really appreciate there was the photography where they captured people and places in relation to a specific event. I could connect far more with that then splashing some random paint splodges on a canvas. Some of the performance art is even worse. I can't remember the artist but it was literally some naked girls walking in a field wearing silly, vaguely s&m outfits from the 70's.
Whilst some of that stuff is visually appealing I just can't buy into the deep bullshit that people try and read into it.
It's why I appreciate the National Gallery so much more. The technical skill is far superior and the detail in which many of the subjects are painted on these huge canvases is pretty incredible. Add to that it gives you a historical background on each piece, who/what the subject is and what they were trying to capture. Whether it be religious, military or famous historical figures. Without all the 'this painting represents blah blah blah' bullshit you get in the Tate.

« on: July 11, 2016, 12:45:40 pm »This is what literally every single KOTH match looks like for me. Just fighting multiple Tracers (2-4) all the time...
Yeah we had one game were the enemy had 2 tracers and a Lucio. Lucio almost as annoying by wall running and using the knock back to keep you away from him. That dragged the game out so much longer than was needed and we won anyway. It's just frustrating.
I get over time as a concept but in reality it's completely borked because of some of the skills that certain characters have.

Tracers are so broken on point contests. They can completely stop one team from winning during over time by zapping in and out just long enough to stop the clock counting down. Seriously annoying.

It was alright. The big problem with it was they released half the game as DLC. Splitting the player base to the point where you had to wait 5 minutes to find a game and then most of the time it wasn't even full. After that the game ended up with only a couple thousand regular players.

Yeah I found that boss harder than Imrelith. Though still not particularly hard.
The blood and wine end boss makes both seem laughable.

« on: July 04, 2016, 01:20:44 pm »uuugh...Grytviken my man you might really have reading comprehension. The EU is and is being accused of being plenty of bad things. One thing its definately not, is undemocratic. Anyone who claims otherwise is quite simply wrong and should really look up his facts a bit more.
Unfortunately that was one of the main arguments of the leave camp.

Still only level 22 so not at ranked yet but even at this point Genji and Tracer are really getting on my tits.
They are too strong. That deflect missles attack that Genji has is enough to kill most people alone. And keeping track of a good tracer long enough to get a few shots on her is near impossible.
Had a lot of trouble with some good Winstons recently as well. He doesn't deal massive damage but boy is he disruptive. He allows others on his team to take advantage whilst he just causes havok.
Just tried Lucio a couple of times for the first time. Reckon he's the best healer by far as he has a great all round skill set.

I don't think I've had a single person use voice chat yet.
We usually have 3 of us in skype instead.
We had 4 guys all pick Bastion. Just decided to join them so we ended up with 6 Bastions on defense. Surprisingly did quite well. But this isn't a game to get ragey over that's for sure.
Absoloutely loving Reinhardt at the moment. I've had a few plays of the game with him where I manage to get the perfect combo of ulti, ranged attack, charge and then just swing around crazily killing 3-4 of them. For escort missions he's a must.

fun fact i discovered yesterday doing 3+ party comps :
- if you tryhard like there's no tomorrow , you probably end up getting mad and lose.
- if you play swag yolo fuck the supports like a casual match , you can win with 2 toblerone , 2 mei and some fillers.
would have screened the chat :
Mad Kid : i swear if you pick torbjorn i quit
Mad Kid : no joke
Swag Kid picks Toblerone.
Mad Kid Disconnected.
Mad Kid Rejoined.
Mad Kid picks Toblerone (troll)
Me and another buddy pick Mei.
Team Blue Wonnered
Mad Kid : i don't even....
Swag Kid : ez

Just picked this up and really enjoying it.
Dabbled in almost all the heroes already but my favourite have to be Pharah and Reinhardt.
Had some very satisfying moments with both their ultis.
Games are just the right length so that it doesn't matter if you have a crap team so my game of choice for a while I think over Dota.

It took a while to get used to everything being a bit more hidden and the immediate menus being only simplistic ones. But once you know where to look for everything, and set the more immediate things as quick links on the start menu, it's actually quite nice and streamlined.
Like any OS it just takes a bit of playing around.
