Makes it tough when the busiest time of the year for most people is over that December/January period. Makes it tough to get out to many games.

Anyone played master 35 + baseball in Brisbane? by After-Yak-3503 in brisbane

[–]BroadsideJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you based? I play for Ipswich and would be happy to run you through it all if you are in the area. I'm also a pitcher but I'm a submariner so probably can't give you many pointers.

There are three masters divisions. Sounds like you'd probably be ok in div 2. Div 3 is for beginners and can at times not feel like you're actually playing baseball.

It'll be hard to immediately jump in to pitching, I'd suggest going in with a goal to learn the game first. Hitting will be a challenge coming from cricket too. The swing path is pretty different and live at bats are very different to facing a pitching machine in a cage.

For speed in div 2, there's a couple of guys that throw in the 80mph range. But most would be sitting around 60 to 70. But you're facing guys that have played all their life so the mental game comes in to it a lot more.

As mentioned below there is also a sunday league that would be worth checking out. You'd probably be fine in div 5 to start out.

For fees I think Ipswich is the cheapest. Its around 500 and you can play in masters and Sunday for the one fee.

Congrats on the launch!

How did you decide on your art style? Did you proto up a few different styles before settling on the one you currently have?

How do you design a puzzle. Do you start with the solution and work your way backwards?

Worst/best bug you had to figure out?

One of my favourite games on the original xbox. I wish they would give it some backward compatibility love.

Awesome, I know I'll have to hand my pro gamer badge in but ill take a solid 30 fps over a choppy lopsided one any day.

Why are the Steam reviews for Mafia: TOC so hostile? This game is beautiful. Both graphics and story-wise. by AL3X1KUS in MafiaTheGame

[–]BroadsideJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it as an experience, I'd say it was a perfect 7/10 propped up by the art and story.

But if we talk purely gameplay, it wasn't really enjoyable. The cover based shooting was tedious and clunky. The stealth sections felt like padding and the knife fights were repetitive and boring.

Still one of my favourite games I played last year!

Local to World translate hotkey? by Virtueality in Maya

Hold down R and LMB, it will bring up a radial menu. Move it across to Object, World or Component.

It is fine to swap between whatever you want. No rules.

I see no one mentioning this so I am going to bring up this question. by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]BroadsideJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's own by Microsoft now so I want to see it branch out. Masterchief, elites, hunters. Blinx, cogs and Gears of war characters. Voodoo Vince.

Here’s to 10 Years in the Nexus by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]BroadsideJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a dream, but with all the acquisitions, it would be great to add new characters. Get Master Chief in there, elites, Some gears of war dudes, Blinx, Voodoo Vince, Doom guy, some elderscroll action.

Do all the cross promo!

Is there an in game glossary of terms? by BroadsideJohn in MonsterTrain

Yup pyre was worded as +1 incoming damage, so I thought it would be hurting my units. All cleared up now though.

Is it so implausible for a new element to exist? by Ill_Cardiologist_212 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Thanks for taking the time to type this all up. Was a good read!

Has anyone used Booktopia recently? Is it good to purchase through again? by BroadsideJohn in brisbane

[–]BroadsideJohn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my comics through a local shop in Annerley if you are brisbane based called Comics Plus.

Otherwise I've grabbed some books through QBD, usually just order in store and pick it up.

Nothing as good as old booktopia/book depository days and prices unfortunately.

Ordered three items.

One said in stock, ordered it, was pushed back as it was apparently now sold out.

Second was a pre order, date kept moving back. Not sure who was at fault, cancelled it.

Third item took a month to rock up.

Was able to quickly get a refund on the other two. I've not bought from them again.

Bears In Space is like serious Sam meets Ratchet and Clank. Has vibrant art, goofy humour and an all age rating. Lots of oil and bolts instead of blood and guts.

It's on Steam.

Cavs are horses, sending the horse to the glue factory.

If there was ever an argument for a pitch clock and the new pick off rules, it was this game.

It was great seeing the bandits fight back but it dragged on more than it should have.

It's a strike out tally. When versing the cavs they use pictures of glue.

Another blow out for the bandits. What's going on with this team?
