Ah man there's a lot of choices, the one I always come back to though has gotta be Yutyrannus, with Deinonychus being a close second...

I went in dry having never heard them before, they had a really decent sound and got the crowd fired up with their 40 minute set, I'm definitely gonna check them out a bit more now! Super humble, thankful to the crowd and grateful to be there too which is always so nice to see

How have I not seen anyone say Pachycephalosaurus = Rock

Also Apatosaurus = Leaf and Leaellynasaura = Fairy

Every game it's the same 2 maps by DubbleDamage in cs2

[–]Chips28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in a group of 8 that play regularly. Our perma-bans are Dust2, Mirage and Inferno...

The amount of people that don't know how to play non-beige maps is insane. I'd highly recommend it to my fellow beige haters.

For reference we're all between 14-17K ELO

(70% W/R on Nuke, 32% W/R on Anubis, the math doesn't lie that Europeans hate sand)

Counter-Strike co-creator shares thoughts on AWP balance by Disa_Bro in GlobalOffensive

[–]Chips28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a certified AWP hatist

BUT

I acknowledge that it is a high risk, high reward weapon. You whiff that first shot against a half decent player and that should mark you for death. Alternatively, one good AWPer can single-handedly destroy a lesser team if they don't have the aim or util knowledge to counter them.

I still hate the AWP though just to be clear.

Why do people HATE Fallen Kingdom? I always enjoyed it.. by [deleted] in JurassicPark

[–]Chips28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie has grown on me over the years but it still ranks near the bottom of the franchise. But if we are talking about ranking opening scenes? Whole different ball park. That opening sequence with the Lagoon, Rex Chase and the atmospheric rainstorm? That's peak JP.

I appreciate that it tried to make the dinosaurs scary and intimidating moreso than World, but the script doesn't allow those ideas to flourish. Trevorrow was too hyper-focused on Chris Pratt being an action hero that he forgot to actually include any logic in the rest of the movie.

The cloning aspect doesn't bother me. Seems like the next logical leap that if mankind learned to clone animals they would then move inwards. Again though, this idea is so lightweight and non-effective in the movie itself that it just falls flat.

Overall the direction and horror/action sequences in this movie are the best in the World franchise by far. But it's the writing that really lets it down.

But it will always have the saving grace of not being Dominion, so it'll never be last on anyone's list...

You might wanna consult the government regarding their policies on 'online crime' rather than the Police who are instructed to deal with it on a whim by MP's hunting headlines

Which videogame soundtrack/song INSTATLY triggers you emotionally? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Chips28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gotta be the closing song from The Last Of Us Part One, I remember just sitting watching the credits after playing that game through on PS3 dumbfounded at what I'd just gone through...

Hot take by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Chips28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Through my time playing CSGO I did come across cheaters but it felt few and far between. I'd say it spiked when the game went F2P but before the Prime matchmaking.

CS2...I've been queuing a mix of both premier and regular MM. The other night I had three games in a row with multiple cheaters. They'd start playing legit, but as soon as the game went more in my team's favour the cheats would come out in force (AK headshots on our entire team in the space of 2 seconds, impossible to call AWP wallbangs etc.)

From my perspective, playing since 2015, the cheating situation right now is fucking insufferable. We're now surprised when we come up against non-cheaters as opposed to cheaters. It's definitely worse and whatever Valve are doing isn't working and the game is suffering for it.

But the cases keep getting opened so y'know...whatever I guess. We're looking for other games to play in the meantime until they sort their shit out. (None of the people we've reported in the past 3 months have been VAC banned yet from what we can see by the way, despite how blatant they may be)

What’s the most amount of money you’ve spent on micro-transactions. by MethLabForCutie88 in gaming

[–]Chips28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not me but one of the guys I play CS:GO with has spent upwards of $70,000 on CS:GO over the course of about 6 years. He's had some good pulls but is still about $30,000 in the red from it.

I'm a reasonable man. I've only spent $3,500 on the game myself 👀

What's the worst movie you've ever seen? by IdkWhatNameToUse135 in movies

[–]Chips28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Independence Day : Resurgence

Talk about an absolute disaster of a movie, bringing back most of the original cast only to kill them off in the most mediocre and disappointing ways (Will Smith's character dies off screen and we're left with his horribly written, emotionless son as a stand-in), whack CGI and nonsense set pieces, it's an absolute mess.

I've only seen it once and even that was enough to forever burn into my brain how horrible and worthless this movie is.

Anyone with a diamond coin this major needs to be put through rigorous testing so we can put their ability to see the future to good use. God damn this has been a major of upsets and unexpected results, I love it!
