Shaming is a dual-edged sword. In most cases it is a horrible thing - like shaming a woman who happens to enjoy having sex and is happy with having more than one partner - but, on the flip side of the coin, it can also be a very powerful tool. While it might fall upon deaf ears (or blind eyes, if it's done on a forum such as this) it just might get someone's attention and make them realize their behavior is unacceptable and help them to decide to try and change it. I don't condone using it except in the most extreme of cases and only if you're sure that the shaming won't cause more harm than it might cause possible good.

@Arkandel I am not even sure we have Uber here. I'll have to look into that.

@Coin Sounds scary. I think I'll pass!

Cab fare anymore is something akin to highway robbery. I get that some of that has to do with the cost of gas and whatnot but still. It is fucking annoying.

Angry Orchard.

'Nuff said.

@Arkandel

Yeah. It is kind of like doubly paying the 'devil' but I think my game will improve vastly.

I am going to be trying to hook up an XBox for Windows controller and see if that helps improve my game. I keep hitting the wrong keys and dying as a result. Will give a little critique on my opinion of it played via controller (assuming it works) versus KB+mouse.

I have fallen so much in love with Torbjorn. I think it helps that there are many similarities between him and the engineer class from TF2, a class I excel at in that, but with enough differences to make him feel fresh.

One of the similarities is that smart turret placement is a must! It is important to scope out an area that allows for maximum area coverage while also affording it, and yourself, as much protection as possible. Of course this is easier on some maps than it is on others but practice makes perfect.

A difference that I like is that it doesn't take scrap to build your turret up to level 2. The downside to him is that you can't build up the turret to level three until Molten Core procs and it is only a temporary upgrade. Still, it does enough damage and has very good range at level 2 so this is not a disadvantage so much as a very minor annoyance.

Another couple differences I like is that you can pick up scrap off of dead enemies which you can use to toss out those armor packs you and your teammates can use. While perhaps not quite on par with Engineer's dispenser it is still a valuable asset, making Thorbjorn more of a team player.

Junkrat is pretty cool. Reminds me of Demoman from TF2 with some extra added stuff to him. A bit difficult to get used to but I shall strive to become a master at that hero!

@Admiral

Sorry!

So last night was a bit hiccup-y as far as staying connected to the game went at first but I think that was due to the rush of people wanting to get in. Took a bit but it eventually smoothed out and I stopped getting dumped.

The game was, of course, as fun as I remembered but two weeks of not playing it has taken a toll on my ability to play well, I find. Not surprising but it is a bit disappointing to basically have to start over from the beginning. I did manage one damn fine match as Soldier 76 where I got 24 kill streak/eliminations and zero deaths. I probably wouldn't have done so well normally but the other team was not exactly playing smart and I was all too happy to exploit that fact.

Today is going to take for EVER! I am already agonizing about the wait and am trying to decide who I will choose to play as first and hoping my Twitch friends will be playing tonight so I can join them and...

Someone got salty about how I play Pharah. Sorry (not sorry) if my spamming the hell out of my rockets to keep you jerk holes off the control point resulted in us winning.

(edited because it seems I am tired and words are hard at the moment)

I won't be able to play as much as I would like to, myself. Husband and friend are coming up from out of town and I got to get ready for that and then entertain them over the weekend.

@Vorpal

You and your family are in my thoughts, hun.

One more OW tidbit, this one being rather interesting in a statistical way:

I am more of a DC gal, yes, but I do have more than a small handful of Marvel ladies I like to RP as at the same time. Like I said, poke me if I can help! Can't stress that enough!

Is this the thing we were talking about earlier? Because I would totally be down for playing on this as well as helping with building if you need help with the grid.

And something both OW-related and hilarious as fuck:

(Do not blame me for any mental issues this may cause - my son showed this to me!)

Good point, @Lithium. Consider me done with the subject.
