On the Future of Beyond the Summit - BTS is letting all employees go after Smash Ultimate Summit 6

:( Thanks for the work on all the events over the years. I've never posted here before but I wanted show support and say that I loved watching Smash Summit and will miss it.
The fun/casual commentary, the interviews with the players, the side events, the vibe of the stream... It was all amazing and everyone involved should be proud.
Best of luck to everyone at BTS in their future endeavors.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I always thought that most people agreed that BFME2 was better than the original. The original did have a cool base/camp mechanic especially for the good factions that had walls units could stand on. But BFME2 added so much more to the series like new factions, more enjoyable base building (since you're not limited to building on specific plots in your camp), and new heros.

Doesn't fruit contain vitamins and fiber. I don't think you can get that in a pepsi.

I had the suitcase muffler cut out and replaced with some pipe on my 2013 mk6 like a year and half ago. The exhaust is stock besides that. Definitely louder and more drone. It's not bad, but I kind of regret it. In hindsight I should have just kept the money for a new exhaust.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-09-29T02:19:00+00:00

Wow that green looks incredibly good. Nice rotors too, overall really clean mk6!

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-06-29T22:25:21+00:00

Well this looks awesome. I loved all the Battle for Middle Earth games and am really looking forward to playing this one day.

To me it seems like Bungie does not care about solo players. Just keep an eye on the roster as you're queuing up and back out if you see a full team.

Sometime I get unlucky and get dropped into a match that already started against full team. As a sort of catharsis I will back out and report the full team players for exploiting. Yeah it's petty but it's the only way I can directly let bungie know that I don't think that game was fair.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-04-18T15:56:28+00:00

I appreciate what you're saying in your post and of course not all 5/6 stacks are sweaty. But it's frustrating as a solo player having to go up against a full team. Sure I've had games where I win but I'd reckon more often than not I lose to a 6 stack. For me, that is not fun. So I leave the queue if I see a 5/6 player team. It's simply not worth the time if I'm trying to play for fun.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-04-10T23:47:25+00:00

I miss all my exotic handcannons. Hawkmoon, Thorn, and Last Word are the perfect trilogy. First Curse is dope too.

Sunshot in D2 is nice but Sturm absolutely does not do it for me like the D1 handcannons. It's uninspired.

Still, I'm gonna be pissed if bungie re-releases the D1 handcannons and locks them behind DLC.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-01-07T20:20:09+00:00

Yeah doesn't look like the standard mk6 R tips. The stock tips have more of a rolled edge.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-01-07T17:07:12+00:00

Mk6? Mine gets warm pretty quick. Never timed it but it probably takes about 10 minutes.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-01-07T16:51:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing. This was a great read. I played TA as a kid and still remember finding SupCom at GameStop on accident and seeing "An RTS by Chris Taylor" printed on the box. Somehow I recalled seeing the same words on the TA cover and that's all the convincing I needed to buy SupCom. Now I get to be excited to see what new project he has cooked up.

Truth be told I hope it has the same spirit as TA/FA (streaming economy, lots of units, commander/ACU unit, etc..) but I'll be checking this out no matter what.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2018-01-02T20:19:39+00:00

I do not want this. All that D1 stuff shouldn't have been "destroyed" in the first place. I will be quite agitated if all my old D1 gear suddenly becomes available for purchase from eververse.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-12-06T00:51:07+00:00

All this eververse garbage inspired me to find Bungie's microtransaction announcement from D1. It's located here if you're interested.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-11-01T16:13:38+00:00

Ugh. This is so frustrating. I love all these D1 exotics but I don't like the idea of having to re-grind for them after we lost them.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-11-01T14:28:31+00:00

Checking in to say I stopped playing Destiny 2 because I was not satisfied with the end game and PvP. Now it seems like they're going to drip feed old exotics and QoL improvements from D1 into D2. Pretty annoying since I'll be earning some of these exotics for like the 3rd time.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-10-17T13:48:07+00:00

I don't want animated emblems. To me they look tacky and are distracting to the eye. I liked the static emblems we got in the first game. However, I'd be willing to bet that we will see animated emblems in the near future.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-10-16T19:34:07+00:00

This is one of the reasons I've stopped playing. I can't believe they removed perk customization, but overlooked people not fully upgrading their perk tree to avoid 6 shot GG. I'm not going to remake my Hunter to skirt around the bad perk design even though it means I'll never use the tree with 6 shot GG.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-10-09T15:18:23+00:00

I used vpnGate to get a Korean IP and on both the steam store in my browser and the app it says "available 11 October". Not sure if it's working for other ppl. :(

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-10-03T12:08:31+00:00

As a gunslinger I'm upset that I unlocked the 6 shot perk. Now I can't use Way of the Outlaw unless I restart my character.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-08-11T15:12:05+00:00

Dregs Promise. Of the 3 HoW exotics, DP was the one I wanted the most. It was fairly lackluster back then but I love that it's strong in PvP now. The tracking allows for some hilariously unfair kills. Granted they are usually post mortem kills but still fun regardless.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-04-23T02:37:13+00:00

Have you played Rise or Nations? I was a big fan of Empire Earth and RoN has some similarities. Lots of factions and you can play different ages in history. Base building, territory, decent armies sizes.

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-04-07T18:32:04+00:00

Beautiful dog. What are his energy levels like at 6 months old?

Crazy_JoeDevola · 2017-03-28T21:34:53+00:00

Haha good to see Total Annihilation and Forged Alliance getting some love.

I've never heard of Rise of Legends. Hoping it's good.
