  1. And another copy of SoulSilver that freezes up. Considering this is the same story that sold me a bad copy of Metal Gear Rising, I wonder why I bother shopping there anymore.

     

    But I got my money back and bought Majora's Mask. Mostly blind playthrough, so here goes nothing.


  2. 2) The hints, however, do not track one emerald at a time. You could get a hint that tells where one emerald is, and it is most likely that the hint is not for the emerald the game is tracking.

    ​Wait what? I've never seen this happen. In fact, I'm certain it's not true, because you get three hints for each emerald shard that cycle in the pause menu and go away once you've found it.

     

    That said, I'm calling it now: You're gonna ragequit at Mad Space.


  3. The word "sport" is too vague to come to a consensus. But here is the definition from what seems to be a respected organization.

     

    The sports within SportAccord can be categorised as follows:

     

    • Primarily physical
    • Primarily mind
    • Primarily motorised
    • Primarily coordination
    • Primarily animal-supported

    Mind and coordination allow video games to fall under this category. Keep in mind, Chess is considered a sport.

    The SportAccord Definition of Sport

    For all new membership applications, SportAccord uses the following definition of a sport:

     

    1. The sport proposed should include an element of competition.
    2. The sport should not rely on any element of “luck” specifically integrated into the sport.
    3. The sport should not be judged to pose an undue risk to the health and safety of its athletes or participants.
    4. The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature.
    5. The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier.

     

    Furthermore,

     

    • Applications from martial arts and combat sports will be considered with the greatest care due to the complex nature and relatively minor differences between their activities.
    • Applications from mind games will only be considered after consultation with the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA).
    • Applications from sports with limited physical or athletic activity will be carefully considered.

    This is where things get less clear. 1, 3, and 4 are okay. However, 2 would mean that video games could qualify and not qualify on a case by case basis. Competitive Pokemon would be immediately disqualified under this, for example. Five could also present problems for certain games, particularly ones that are console exclusives.

    Under the furthermore, 2 and 3 would cover all video games, so even ones that met those five would generally be met with skepticism.

    Not a hard and fast definition, but something to consider.


  4. I'm not saying stalemates never happen on maps like Granary, Badlands, Snakewater, etc, but it doesn't feel like as big of an issue there. But it could be that I'm being too quick to dismiss a week and a half old map.


  5. 2fort and Dustbowl were also made at a time when TF2 was brand new and are ports of maps from TFC. They're not good, but there are reasons for that.

     

    Suijin, Powerhouse, Snowplow, they're all awful, in ways that shouldn't be a problem this far into the game's life. It's sad when the best map in this update, Borneo, has invisible walls.


  6. I'd say make it a sequel to TF2. Showing the fallout of the war between Mann Co. and Grey. Have new mercs, unrelated to the TF2 mercs, maybe fighting for which company regains control of the world. Assuming it would take place in the 80s or 90s, the art style could be changed accordingly to make it look like that.

     

    As far as gameplay, I'm not too sure. Something like Mannpowered might be worth considering, but with a game that's been supported for so long, making a sequel would seem pretty silly without a major gameplay overhaul.


  7. Make TF3. I don't agree with how Activision does business, but they are clever. They know that in order to keep the number of people playing CoD high, you need to keep releasing new games. Updates will eventually stop drawing in large numbers of people.
