A TF2 jump movie that premiered after tonight's event.


Some very impressive jumps.

I wonder when somebody will showcase all Amalur weapon moves on Youtube.


Edit:


Anderson is a classy dood.

Steel is just not a very good 6v6 map. It is a map designed to have many players fighting in many places. The fact you can capture e from the very beginning is a testament to this: many encounters can occur around the map simultaneously. With only six players on the team, you cannot really effectively take advantage of this kind of play.

It is also just not a well-balanced map, giving a lot of power to the Pyro and explosive classes. Much of the design in the map assumes Engineers are present, a class that does not work well in competitive play. Aside from Gravel Pit, all competitive maps are going to be 5 cp or koth. It is just so much better balanced, especially when fewer players are involved. If both teams are attacking instead of one team defending, the map design almost always ensures both teams have equal footing, where as some maps favour a defending team.

The match recording will be processed and likely uploaded by .

You can watch the on the Twitch.tv archive, but you will be sifting through nearly three hours of footage to find the actual parts of the match. After it is processed it will likely but cut into smaller pieces that focus on the actual game.

Ah, I see what you mean. It is a pretty long map that's more fitted for 12vs12 rather than smaller crowds.

^ They should be fighting on Final Destination. >:3

Been there. Done that. It is not a very fun map. :(

Maybe if we were not limited to the x axis, it would have been a fun 1v1 training map.

Cannot vouch for the Cyborg RAT9 since I have not used anything of that line, but Razer mice are pretty good. Mamba and DeathAdder are great choices for general use, while the Naga is nice for people who want to dabble into MMORPGs. I would recommend a Logitech G9x. It is a great mouse for both light and hardcore users, and it made for an excellent start. Currently I use the SteelSeries Sensei for all game types... and I have been unable to bring myself to touch any of my old mice.

For anyone who is interested, Community Fortress has uploaded the latest Community vs Pros matches to their channel. You can watch the first match on Badlands . If you want to skip the chatter and practice, there is always a top-rated comment on YouTube that links to when the match starts.

Pure Might/Finesse/Sorcery seems to reach top performance at lower levels than hybrids, which in turn finish a little earlier than Universalist, but not by much.

Either way, going pure before going hybrid seems like a fairly natural progression. Although, the Wayfarer+ skill bonus steadily becomes less useful the later you'd use it. That route would also likely involve getting familiar with all weapon types sooner rather than later. The weapon master thing is a capstone, so no reason to avoid investing in them before then.

Alright, so I went ahead and purchased Lair of the Shadow Broker.

[Drathi]

Honestly, LotSB was the best DLC on ME2. xD Arrival was epic, but the thing was that that final battle with the Shadowbroker is just awesome that first time. Especially when you see Shep going hand to hand with it.

[SirthOsiris]

I don't believe I missed this.

Spoilers for ME1, Virmire:

I may be wrong, but I do remember seeing him in my Normandy.

'Zee and I played more L4D. We beat the level that killed us 5 times in a row, 3 last time, 2 this time. I am not very good at L4D.
