    Blizzard Has Announced the Newest Overwatch Hero: Ana

    Sadly that isn't implied (I wish it was). As someone who can't see out of the right eye, I have learnt that there is a big issue with being right handed but left eyed. The origins didn't imply any sort of cuberbetics, and why would a sniper try and fool people (unless your widow maker and...

    Blizzard Has Announced the Newest Overwatch Hero: Ana

    Big problem here is that she's been shot in the right eye and she's right handed. What's he mumbo jumbo for her being able to scope and shot out of a blind eye?

    Team Fortress 2's New Matchmaking Changed Following Complaints

    So you want comp TF2 to stay in the same stale meta state that it's been in for the past half decade? UGC, EFTL etc. Aren't going anywhere. On the subject of load outs, DOTA is a competitive game, and equipment bought in game isn't visible on players - no one complains about not being able...

    Team Fortress 2's New Matchmaking Changed Following Complaints

    You have to have a mobile number linked to your steam account, or need to buy a $10 competitive pass if you want to play ranked, so there's a monetary barrier to entry for cheaters to make a new account. Idk if this is linked to unranked, but community servers and ranked play is a good alternative.

    Cooperative Multiplayer Coming to Halo 5: Guardians June 29 with Warzone Firefight

    You have valid points sir, they chose to have firefight with REQ, and thus chose it to be online only, and some sort of custom game war zone would be a holy grail, but there's probably some decision that was made early on as to why they can't do it easily; maybe in Halo 6, they're very close...

    Cooperative Multiplayer Coming to Halo 5: Guardians June 29 with Warzone Firefight

    They need to make a social game section for grifball BtB and infection. Infection kills my win loss, KDA and acurracy

    Cooperative Multiplayer Coming to Halo 5: Guardians June 29 with Warzone Firefight

    It's designed for 12 players, lone wolfing is just untenable. It's a multiplayer game type, not a custom game, you'd need to be online to play with friends regardless. Play Reach if you want single player firefight. Playlist firefight in Reach was better than custom anyway, because you got...

    Microsoft HoloLens Battery Lasts 5.5 Hours, 2.5 on "Heavy Load"

    I'd say they similar enough (I.e. If you have a decent AR system, you've got an amazing VR system) due to the sensors, latency and rendering power required, but true, they are different fields, but virtual environments are a spectrum.

    Microsoft HoloLens Battery Lasts 5.5 Hours, 2.5 on "Heavy Load"

    It's only 'half VR' by being able to darken the external glass and turn the headset into a purely VR one. By definition AR is inherently part VR due to the simulated environment superimposed onto our physical world. How could one have a half AR experience? How could one have a full one for...

    Microsoft HoloLens Battery Lasts 5.5 Hours, 2.5 on "Heavy Load"

    The headset is a self contained computer, streaming VR would be sub optimal any ways.

    Microsoft HoloLens Battery Lasts 5.5 Hours, 2.5 on "Heavy Load"

    Real time networked VR is a big research field right now (I know at least 3 colleagues looking into different ways to achieve this), so I wouldn't scoff at the idea. I think it be safe to assume that a ?3,000 dev kit that is a self contained computer can run while plugged in. I appreciate a...

    New Batch of Backward Compatible Games for Xbox One Now Available

    Orange box hype! but really can't say TF2 will be worth playing on a console again, even if it does hold a special place in my heart

    Rejected Critical Miss Punchlines

    I thought the first frame had something to do with a peadophile's reaction at someone becoming a squid now. Wouldn't put it past Grey, but I doubt it's that dark
