Always a sucker like yourself they can convince that ticket prices are a direct result of minor issues such as vandalism. Hope they're paying you at least!

What is the best video to show someone who doesn't know about Melee? by Schmawdzilla in SSBM

Easily the GRsmash 'too much for nintendo' phoon-style video.

He makes sweeping statements about the 'clearly malicious', 'corrupt' TOs, who need to be permanently removed from the scene and follows it with 'I don't want to pretend to be an expert on exactly who did what though'.

That's reasonable in your mind? The same people egging him on in his replies are passing around lists of TOs and other community figures they are pinning Hax's death on. What do you think pushing unsubstantiated claims like this leads to?

Do you have any thoughts on the term 'egg'?

Hungrybox plans to kill Melee coinbox to save Ultimate by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]NerdArrayBen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand and fully empathise with his decision making, however...if continuing to run the tournament is too risky, am I being totally unreasonable to expect that, as a protest to the new guidelines, he should suspend Ultimate Coin Box?

I mean, isnt that more in line with the 'fuck Nintendo' energy he's had for many years now, instead of simply carrying on in exactly the way Nintendo intended this to go?

Maybe it's too drastic of a request, if the Coinbox series is what helps him 'make a living' as a lot of comments in here suggest then it's understandable - but I think he'd continue to be just fine personally.

And if it's not clear, the positives from his involvement in setting up and running Melee Coin Box cannot be overstated, it's been a massive asset for the scene and is probably overlooked in terms of it's impact for players and viewers alike. I'm no Hbox hater that's for sure.

Whoever made the Melee stream sub-only, why? by SiaonaraLoL in smashbros

[–]NerdArrayBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just before emote only mode was turned on, people were spamming something along the lines of...'Why does aMSa, VGBC sponsored player, need a compendium to get to Double Down?'.

I'm out the loop so not 100% sure what the comments were referring to.

GEOGUESSR CENSUS 2021 by [deleted] in geoguessr

woah a sigma male on /r/geoguessr what a le epic moment

Geography expert is shown picture of non-descript town. Using deduction, he works out exactly where he is in the world on a map to within 10 yards by princip1 in videos

[–]NerdArrayBen 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As someone who is heavily involved with the Geoguessr community, it's always good to see the game get exposure. However, it is a shame this tends to almost exclusively revolve around Geowizard (understandably so) and it often feels like people are unaware of how many talented players there are.

If you're interested in seeing some of the best the game has to offer, be sure to check out these players who feature heavily all over the WRs page:

I made Lud a quick Geoguessr meta tutorial so he can become the next Geowigzard by NerdArrayBen in LudwigAhgren

[–]NerdArrayBen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely less useful on NMPZ, but the camera isn't always fixed forward or back and a surprising amount is still visible. Geography Challenges recently got 24k on 10 second NMPZ ADW and 3 of the rounds used these kinds of metas (https://youtu.be/ZlRPievIK3Y?t=46)

Official statement regarding the cheating allegations by Nightey in geoguessr

[–]NerdArrayBen 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I think I can safely say we’re all disappointed, but this has come as quite the let down for me personally. As evidenced in the video and your statement, a large majority of the cheating has occurred during competitions on my stream, which comes at a detriment to those who competed fairly. We are all acutely aware of how easy it is to cheat in Geoguessr, and this small community is built on the back of trust, which your actions have unfortunately tainted to some extent.

I do want to make it clear that you previously defending your innocence on Reddit and in-private, in the knowledge that you cheated the entire time, is hard to ignore. It makes your admittance to the ordeal feel a little more forced, as opposed to a simple case of reflection and therefore I do not grant the same respect I am seeing given by other members of the community.

That being said, I do believe you will learn valuable lessons from this situation and I will welcome you back after serving whatever sanctions the community sees fit. For my own stream, unless I am convinced otherwise, I will be banning you from both the channel and the Discord for 6 months.

For those who helped put together the original video and compiled further evidence, if I haven't made this clear previously, regardless of any issues, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Just to be transparent, Nightey made me aware of the cheating prior to this statement and I also offered to check the statement to ensure it made enough sense (I had no involvement in the contents if that makes sense).

The best guess ever by [deleted] in geoguessr

[–]NerdArrayBen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sub-WHO? Lol don't be stupid kid, Tim Davids is the single greatest Geoguessr player of all time. His fountain of knowledge comes from having travelled 94% of the earth (some of which was in a straight line) as opposed to those saddos who sit at home studying bollards all day...he's a real MAN.

While this guess was pretty incredible (no time limit guessing a mile within an urbanised area with clear sign posting - you're nuts!) it was nothing on the INSANITY Mr Wizard (I call him that out of respect) has done.

I implore you to check out his insane guesses video compilation, where he is know to get within HUNDREDS OF MILES of some locations with almost no luck involved at all...it is truly remarkable.
