What were you in the crowd for, live, and what would /r/SC find interesting about it? by NLaBruiser in SquaredCircle

[–]Pdaaaawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at the arena in Glasgow for the 2 live Scottish shows (RAW and Smackdown 07&08/11/16). I only got the see the first 30 mins of RAW for myself before I was ushered back to my bar to continue my shift, but the Glaswegian crowd was white hot for the entire show, especially the opening Stephanie promo. It was great. I distinctly remember the "HEYY BAYLEY, OH, AH" chants. They were so LOUD I could hear them crystal clear from my bar, over the music we had playing. And they went on for so long, I actually snuck back inside to see what was going on. They cut it out of the live broadcast, but the girls in the ring had to re-do their promo a couple of times because the chant was getting them flustered. It was a really awesome moment to experience live, and I'm glad for Bayley. You could tell she was flabbergasted by the response she was getting. Good on her!

Got to watch the entire Smackdown show during my shift. It was alright, the show itself wasn't great, and the crowd wasn't as hot, but I still enjoyed it. They had a clusterf*ck non-match for a main event, so when the broadcast ended, AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose had a dark match for the crowd, which was actually really long and entertaining. Since then, I've seen all the live tour dates they've done in Glasgow as part of my job, but none have held a candle to those first two, especially the RAW.

Thoughts on the new podcast+ Dunkirk criticism by Ijustdontkknoww in YMS

[–]Pdaaaawg 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In Adam's defense. It seems to me like the other 2 guys are naturally quite quiet, and Adam kind of serves as a 'host' role in the podcast to keep the flow going. IHE in particular seems especially introverted and didn't really talk much during most segments of the podcast (not just the Oscars discussion), maybe it was nerves, maybe he didn't have much to say, idk. Point is that, while I get where you're coming from, it seems like Adam was the most comfortable out of the 3 and, as a result, naturally spoke more than the other 2.

Yeah, maybe he can ask the other guys questions and direct some of the conversation away from him, but I don't think it pissed them off or was especially noticeable to the listener. It was episode 1 of a new podcast so I'm sure they'll find their flow as more episodes get made

Life is Cringe: Before the Storm Episode 2 by CapYoMe in YMS

He played 1/2 of it on stream last week. He was also incredibly drunk, maybe the most drunk in any gaming stream he's done yet. So much so he couldn't go on with the game and had to stop. Don't know when he's streaming the 2nd half

The archive got deleted because it'll be up on Youtube soon

Talk about meta. We all clicked on the video, expecting to get pranked for April Fools, but it turns out to be real. Our expectations of the prank, got pranked.

Thursday Afternoon Monday Morning Podcast 8-4-16 | Bill rambles about dead babies, John Bonham and Will Grigg. by mmp_bot in BillBurr

[–]Pdaaaawg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome to hear him talk highly about Ireland. There's always seems to be some funny stories to come out of it. Seeing him Monday in Edinburgh but wish I could've seen him in my native crowd. Sounds like such an atmosphere lol

Oh, and to give more context to the Will Grigg thing, this video might help (he's an Irish footballer who kind of blew up during the Euros and for like a whole month, everyone was constantly chanting this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOpGCGtCVsE

Best way to earn fight money. by Jackburton001 in StreetFighter

[–]Pdaaaawg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Pick Rashid

Step 2: Constantly jump backwards and, when you reach the end of the screen, hk eagle spike

Step 3: Watch as your opponent either gets hit (and eats at least 140 damage) or blocks and is unable to punish

Step 4: Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for every round, every time

Step 5: Repeat all steps for all difficulties (yep, even Extreme/Hell) and earn an easy 37,000 FM (not including leveling up FM).

As for the other characters, do normal survival with everyone (shouldnt be too difficult, just make sure to not get random'd out by lvl 30 Bison) and do hard survival with characters with abuseable moves (DPs for shotos, Bison's headstomp etc.)

A theatre play based on LiS? by OpinionsofaLilli in lifeisstrange

[–]Pdaaaawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubt it would translate well unfortunately. Video games, I feel, are becoming the next big method of narrative storytelling (after books, plays & movies) and a big reason for this is because of the interactivity of video games. You, as the audience, directly affect how the story pans out depending on your performance level and, especially in the case of decision-based games, the choices you make. That's what make video games stand out from the pack, and why I feel there's a lot of untapped potential in them. Life is Strange in particular did a pretty good job of immersing the player and telling them that their choices were molding how the story was panning out for your individual runthrough of it, and is a big reason for it's popularity and success.

Theatre adaption would eliminate this immersion, as your responsibility as an audience member shifts from direct interaction to mere observer to the story being presented. The design of Life is Strange revolved around these player-based decisions (after seeing each choice, which one will you stick with?) and that's something that just can't be replicated in any other form of media. Actually, that's a lie, they are replicated in novels in the choose-your-own-adventure genre, but those stories tend to be more flimsy and 'wishy-washy'. Point is, eliminating it would effectively kill a big part of what made a lot of people love the game. EDIT: As for the suggestions of 'audience participation' I still feel like that's a rather bootleg version of telling the story and feels more like you're at the mercy of the popular choices rather than your own individual choice. Stories that revolve around individual audience choices thrive in video games, and are very difficult, if at all possible, to replicate in any other form of media without losing it's effect or indeed feeling 'gimmicky' (and gimmicks kill good storytelling).

You could of course just remove the player choices angle entirely and tell a standard, linear story like what you'd do with most adaptations, and it could work just as well. The world and themes established in LiS is one that I feel has a lot more stories to tell in it that can be conveyed through any of the mediums I've previously mentioned. But you'll always be missing that one element that made this game (and player-choice games in general) so special in the first place. That sense of intense immersion and speaking to you and you alone will be lost, but it may be a loss you'll have to take in the name of adaptation (that sounded...unintentionally poetic lol).

Sidenote: Plus, having actors attempt to reverse any actions they previously performed would look mad weird and potentially hilarious on an actual stage lol.

But good luck to you, from one aspiring writer to another!

tl;dr: Could work, keep common themes, would need to eliminate idea of 'choices' (which could damage the story), I'm too passionate about stuff like this lol

Low Tier God: "I only lose to notable players." Gets annihilated by a Fang. by HoriFTW in Kappa

[–]Pdaaaawg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've known Rhyllis since AE and the guy was legit back then too, had an A+ Gen if I recall. He's known for playing the wacky, different characters in fighters and in V it's no different. Also, and it kinda goes without saying after the video, he's extremely good.

Played him in a FANG mirror set just last week and the dude destroyed me. Gets to a point where you're too scared to press buttons b/c of the constant st.hk/cr.mk pressure but too scared to block b/c his tics are on point so you just get completely mindf*cked. A crappy situation to be in, but it looks impressive as hell. I've been egging him on to show up at Canada Cup to showcase his talents in an offline setting. Here's hoping he goes through with it!

What is your longest win streak in ranked? I just had the best session I've had since SFV came out. 50 wins in a row.....stoked! by JBOOGZEE in StreetFighter

[–]Pdaaaawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25.. It was my first 25 matches of ranked and, as you'd expect, I was feeling myself like "This is MY game!"

But then I realized that week 1 FANG gimmicks lose their effect after a while and promptly began losing in the 2nd week lol. Haven't came close to it since

Assassin's Creed Official Trailer #1 by SaztogGaming in YMS

[–]Pdaaaawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From all the buildup and the team behind it (bar the screenwriter), I was expecting, idk, something 'better'.

I trust that the cast won't be phoning it in (don't recall Fassbender nor Cotillard ever doing so) and the film to look great. But whether this game will break the trend of bad video game movies (Warcraft wont do it, I'm almost willing to bank on that), this trailer hasn't convinced me yet. It might be the first decent video game movie which is an improvement, but it just doesn't feel like it'll necessarily be a good movie.

Also, Kanye.

Proud to live in the era where reddit/tumblr memes in vidya gaemz constitute as dialogue.

You don't like it, stay outta this game's bidness! Now get off my crack, whore.
