Now that I've been home and had a chance to try it out in PTR I can definitely second this. The hook no longer does much against smaller framed squishies (Luicios can breathe easy now), Hogs under this patch would be far more effective in hooking tanks and taking advantage of the new spread...

I feel the need to clear some things up here for what this and the previous patch (that keeps being called a nerf) mean for Roadhog. For starters neither of these are intended as nerfs, they're an effort to rebalance how the hook interacts with its victims. The last patch added a...

Am I reading this right? They're goin' forward with introducing a broken feature this patch, only to remove it in the next patch, so they can hopefully get it working to reintroduce it in the patch after that? Thanks, Square Enix. (EDIT: I guess on second thought this is probably another...

My thoughts exactly, I had to cast my vote in that direction because it was obviously the intention. Honestly some of these really feel like they were named with a game in mind already. I mean the one about hugging villains HAS to be won by Undertale, right? If I was a betting man I'd go in on...

Terraria and Metal Gear Solid? Taking Terraria's mech bosses into account, it'd pretty much be metal gear with magic, monsters, and fantasy weapons. ...Which given the Metal gear / Monster Hunter crossover from Peace Walker makes it sound like a plausible universe. I imagine it would...

This concept was done back in '09 in an indie game called "Devil's Tuning Fork". Though for as far as I got (never got around to finishing it) nothing ever chased you, it was mostly platforming. It still had a creepy atmosphere though, and you were saving children that to you looked like giant...

Wow, this news comes at a bit of a strange time for me as just the day before yesterday I started replaying Irrational's old Freedom Force series after not touching them for about a decade. Almost definitely my favorite super hero series to date, I was just thinking earlier that it was too bad...

I don't understand this talk about Supernatural season 10. Supernatural was a five season show and Swan Song was one of the best series finales of all time. It's too bad the final episode of How I Met Your Mother will never air. The Dexter finale was slightly shorter than I expected...

The man standing on the wall above Megaton in Fallout 3 comes to mind, if you manage to get up to him (I noclipped out of curiosity) he says something along the lines of: "I'm watching for raiders, don't distract me! How did you get up here anyway?"

I've always pronounced it like (tom)Morrowind myself, and it's pronounced that way a lot in-game, too, but some of the voice actors say it "more-oh-wind". In my experience the morrowind/oblivion voice actors aren't very consistent on pronunciations. (Todd Howard pronounces it "more-oh-wind"...

I never had a problem with the UI on PC, liked it better than when I played Oblivion on PS3. I did however have a problem with performance issues despite my rig blowing past the recommended requirements. Particularly the micro-stuttering that occurred if I dropped even one FPS, it'd freak out...

That's unfortunate, I'll probably hold off getting it for a couple weeks to watch the issues unfold and hope it's not as bad as RAGE. By then the modding community should come up with fixes, too. I'm not getting it on console though, I'd just be encouraging them. EDIT: Though after saying...

I'm glad the 'realistic water' they talked about isn't just for show. Now if I could just get some information on whether or not PC Skyrim will be a console port with performance issues like Oblivion and Fallout 3. New engine gives me hopes though.

Personally since I like to play a thief/assassin type in RPGs and absolutely love stealth games like MGS I'd find the games much more compelling. No more "You're not supposed to be here!" or "What was that noise?" Programmed responses would be replaced with actual reasoning, and the...

Would you like to know more? OT: Yoooou should definitely read the English link, and reconsider just about this entire post. The only links to a falling object and this story were a few reports and some guy with a fake photo, other than that it just seems to be a case of shoddy gas lines...
