Nerf Now!! 1881 - 1890 (D)
Nerf Now!! 1881
When Blizzard hits something with the nerf bat, it hits it hard. Genji lost his melee-into-dash combo, his Dragonblade went from 8 seconds to 6 seconds AND he can't double jump from walls anymore.
2 of those nerfs would be a hard hit, but all 3 sounds excessive. I'd be surprised if Genji is still popular after that.
I can see Blizzard vision there thou, specially with the double jump nerf. Genji was doing stuff he was not supposed to do, at least not on Blizzard initial design.
I'd be surprised if he is still picked after that though. He is still a high risk hero but I feel the reward is not there.
On the good side, Mei got buffed. Horray! :D
Nerf Now!! 1882
People loved the new Bastion movie by Blizzard, and it made many players sympathize for the little robot, but for me it had the opposite effect.
Seeing he revert to his old «terminator» mode by just some gun sound made me realize deep inside he is still a killing machine. At best, he has a dual personality and it doesn't seen the «good» Bastion has a firm grip on the wheel.
I mean, can you imagine what'll happen if someone gun down Ganymedes?
Zarya was right, we can't trust those machines.

I have a unique problem in Dota 2… when I open the shop menu (the little side bar) or when I level up and need to upgrade an ability, there is this MASSIVE FPS drop.
I have no idea of what is causing that and otherwise the game run mostly fine. Any suggestion?
I'm halfway thru Axiom Verge, but I'm can't say much because SPOILERS. Suffice to say I recommend it specially if you like Metroid and remember, Athetos is kill.

One more time, Thrall deciisons cost the Horde.
Vol'jin is nice and all, but he obviously is no warrior. While Varian dies fighting, sacrifcing himself for the Alliance, Vol'Jin dies to a Warlock summon and put the whole invasion in disarray. Varian showed more Lok'tar Odar (victory or death) than the Horde «Warchief».
2/10, would not zug.
Nerf Now!! 1885
Some people come with the theory Vol'Jin is not really dead and it's all part of a master plan so he can work in the shadows, fooling the Legion and working in the shadows like he is used to.
From a lore point of view it makes sense… he pulled this trick before on the books, and the Legion is full of spies and infiltrators so it would be a nice way to outsmart them.
More importantly, I don't think Sylvanas «fits» being Warchief flavor wise.
This also would make for a huge comeback when Vol'Jin pops from the shadow and kick Gul'Dan ass, giving him some much needed spotlight.
We may be wrong of course. Maybe Blizzard wants Sylvanas on the front for whatever reason and Vol'Jin was collateral. If this is true it sucks to be horde because they'd have very few relevant characters left.
Nerf Now!! 1886
I was watching some pro Starcraft 2 and made me realise how much I wish the maps were randomly generated.
I believe part of a good strategist is to adapt to unknown factors, and symmetric terrains for me are utter bullshit.
I know, I know, it would be unfair, someone may start behind thousands of chokepoints with a safe expansion while the other guy is sitting in the open. WHATEVAR.
I think it would be interesting, if not for the E-SPORT scene at least for casual babbies like me.
Also, golden border on this comic to remember classic Nerf NOW!! from an age before words. In before someone says «I don't get it». :)
Nerf Now!! 1887
Two wordless comic in a row? What is this? 2010?
I tried TF2 lately and the good news is at least matchmaking works in a sense last time I tried I waited for 15 minutes and never found a game.
Still, the game needs something new to shake up the gameplay. A new merc, new weapons which are not melee ones or a competitive mode which is not 6 vs 6. I have Overwatch for that and I think they do a better job at it.
I doubt it will happen though, because I believe Valve (or any big company for the matter) want a slice of the e-sport pie, and for FPS, the mantra is the game needs to be similar to Counter Strike.
Could be worse thou, I dread to imagine how Battleborn is faring…

Once upon a time, you could only stream gaming on Twitch.
Eventually Twitch loosened the rules to allow other kinds of streaming, for example, art related streams which were not allowed before are now okay.
Stream yourself eating, however, was not allowed but as with art, the rules changed and today exist something called «Social Eating» which allow you to pig yourself in front of the camera as long as you don't eat poison and yes, this is one of the rules.
If there wasn't a valley between adult and non-adult content, I'm sure Twitch would have Social Undressing, Social Masturbation and Social Sex at this point.
Nerf Now!! 1889
I reached Legend for the 2nd time on Hearthstone… because I wanted to know if I could repeat it without a non-brainless deck like Secret Paladin and I did it with a the brainless Dragon Warrior deck.
I don't think I'd do it again though, because the grind is just unfun. The most important thing is to 'feel« the meta of the day you are playing and change decks accordingly and of course, have a unhealthy dose of luck.
Everybody is talking about Legion and if I had infinite time I'd play it but WoW is like a jealous girlfriend. You either play only it or playing everything else.
Nerf Now!! 1890
There will be no Purify joke, I think it's a bad card but bashing it is overdone at this point.
Thinking in buying the new Deus Ex but I'm still recovering from No Man Sky disappointement.
Goblin Slayer is a manga I read, but can't recommend to the faint of heart because when it goes brutal, it goes brutal. I'm surprised Square Enix translated it.
