Blizzard seriously can't figure out how to monetize F2P online play? Idiots. Valve already figured out how to do this with TF2:MvM. Basically it lets you play "unofficial" matches for free but you have to buy into the "ranked" matches. Blizzard could just tweak it a bit so that the game doesn't track stats for "unofficial" matches, thereby separating out the casual from the hardcore gamers. Also, give the people hats, who gives a fuck. And make special hats you can only get from completing accomplishments in "ranked" matches. Or whatever. (fucking Blizzard)
I do not begrudge Blizzard wanting $60 of initial investment for one of their RTS games. It might work as F2P, it might not, but I have no doubt that HOTS will be worth my $60. I have no doubt that I've put 1000 hours into WOL.
Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.
The real joke about 3D realms in regards to that PA comic is that they were a joke regarding their ability to ship a game back when PA's art looked like THAT.
"BoobieSoft" is especially funny when you look closely around the 4:01 mark, you can see some sideboob. I could be wrong of course but I don't think so. Also, is Kathleen always without bra when shooting these vids?
@Kathleen: I hope you don't see this as some kind off sexual harassment, it isn't. Just me and my hormones looking at the right time to the right place and normally I wouldn't write this to you but since "Anita Sarkesian" is a thing now I felt I need to clarify some things that could be misinterpreted: I like this show. A LOT. And to you personally I have so much respect as someone can have to somebody he never met and watches videos off on a weekly basis. I hope you don't get discouraged in your work since you seem so happy in what you do and it would be a shame to see you down because of my comment.
Could people please, please, please try not to be creepy about Kathleen. Please. I understand that she's a girl and it's very confusing but I would really love it if part of my job description wasn't "explaining to people why you shouldn't ask a stranger whether or not she's wearing a bra". So you know, personal favour to me.
@Tube: Seriously, a quick look at your messages and I see you threatening violence (breaking peoples' legs). Oh, it was a joke, haha. Nice that threatening violence is so casually funny to you yet you take issue with someone asking a bra question to someone who I recall leaning forward over the desk in a previous episode and shaking her chest back and forth.

I somewhat agree because: 1. I would never have noticed without it being pointed out. 2. When I did go to that timestamp, it was clear that she IS wearing a bra.

You're welcome to your opinion, but as the manager of this forum I'm not actually asking you for it, nor am I interested in it. I am telling you that such behaviour is not acceptable on these forums. You're welcome to start your own forum where violence as a source of humor is banned and odious, creepy behaviour towards women is lauded and encouraged. I wish you the best of luck with that forum. On these forums however, we require our members to have been socialised to a certain degree (perhaps by a parent or legal guardian) before entering discussion.
Boy, this whole avenue of discourse seems like a really great way to get commenting disabled entirely.
Seriously, fucking can it.
You mean we don't want the comments closed? I have never seen a website where the commenting system didn't descend into a cesspool of flames, sexism, bigotry, etc. We'd need to put poor Tube in a vat and clone him a couple dozen times to adequately police the thing, and I don't think Khoo's budget took mass production of hedgehogs into account.
I'm surprised it isn't worse, but it's probably only a matter of time.
Also haha oh no silly 3D Realms, you had your chance. It's time to let the big boys play now.
Great bit, but seriously, use more compression/limiting on Kathleen's speech, there's volume spikes all up in here. Great commentary, but the volume's all over the place
@Tube: Actually, you were asking as a personal favor and not stating policy. You made no statement about policy. Not even sure how to respond to your comments about me starting my own forum. Just seems kinda random and crazy. I don't believe I gave any indication I desired to do such or that I would want to even visit such a forum.
If anyone has any further questions about moderation policy on these boards, or would like some assistance in learning to parse even the most basic elements of nuance in the English language they can direct them to my inbox. I think this thread has now been dragged far enough off topic.
So glad to see I'm not the only person who suffers from the "shirt gap" problem. And I absolutely love the idea of a zergling with a zerg-hat. Khoo should get Tally to design that for the PA store.
Ooh! And he should commission her to make patterns for Thomas Kemper plushes! And Gabe and Tycho plushes!
His ideas for fog of war and custom skins are actually pretty good, but what about a "gold league" with exclusive maps, rankings and competitions? Or maybe just map packs?

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake. And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape.
Seriously, fucking can it.

their = belonging to them

Also, MLP & Adventure Time skins... oh heads are gonna roll on /co...
I felt the jokes weren't sidetracks at all in this ep., went right with the news made it very satisfying to watch

I was too overjoyed about the possibility of hats to notice ;o)
Aww, who am I kidding?
I'm pretty much an internet perv too.
Sorry I do feel ashamed.
Aww, who am I kidding?
This is the internet no one knows who I am.
So consider me "tit"illated and not ashamed one bit. :oD
You were using what's clearly a comedy show as a news source?
