Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
As a semi competitive MTG player I’ve been playing the new Magic Arena in some of my spare time, mostly because it’s likely the future of the competitive realm of the game. I can see why it’s become popular, the flashy animations and the ease of access, but GD as regular player is there some frustrating stuff.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
After getting to know a few local livestreamers, I'm ramping up into competitive pinball.
Played my first tournament last night and I...didn't totally embarrass myself. Won two matches before I got bounced (3 strikes format, you play head-to-head against a randomly drawn player on a randomly drawn machine, lose and you get a strike, 3 strikes and you're out, last player standing wins.) All my losses were competitive too.Michigan Tech Huskies Pep Band: There's No Use Trying To Talk. No Human Sound Can Stand Up To This. Loud Enough To Knock You Down.

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
Ok, I'm curious. So how does that work? Basically you get one game, three balls per round? How long does a game take for just one of the players?Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

There are all kinds of tournament formats - pingolf (reach target score in X number of balls, that's your score for the hole,) groups of 4 scoring 4-2-1-0 across several games, straight brackets, however people feel like running it.
As for ball length, pinball happens - you can have two stinkers and then a record-shattering third ball that lasts 15 minutes. Lots of the high level tournaments are beginning to livestream and they're insane to watch. Check out PAPA or IFPA tournaments.Michigan Tech Huskies Pep Band: There's No Use Trying To Talk.

Been immersed in X-Plane 11 lately. Need to pickup a joystick and throttle at some point to make controls better.
Keyboard/xbox controller arent a great setup.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
Anybody have experience with acquiring gaming PC's using a pre-build company? I know I could do it cheaper on my own, etc, but I really want nothing to do with cable management, and it's worth the extra cost for me to have the peace of mind.

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
I stopped believing the cheaper to build yourself nonsense after I priced everything out.
I’d you don’t want to run windows or office, yeah, cheaper. But when you start bundling things, prebuilt are a better deal. And come with warranties.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

And the trade off for those warranties is the pre-installed bloatware.

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
Fair enough. I haven’t priced one out in like three or four years.
Regarding bloatware, not too difficult to reformat and reinstall.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

I'm intrigued by NZXT's BLD service. Pay MSRP on all components, and only $99 fee for putting it together. Quite a few positive reviews from the bigger PC YouTube channels too. Also minimal bloatware installed upon delivery, usually just hardware related tools it seems.

I ended up with intel i7 chip and dual 1080 gpus. Only bloat is tools related to lighting and diagnostics.Last edited by JF_Gophers; 02-11-2019, 12:55 PM.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris
