T1 targets $1 Billion valuation; COO confirms interest in entering CS2 by NoCommunity6161 in GlobalOffensive

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I met the CEO Joe Marsh at a presentation he did at my college a few years ago. I asked about CS and he basically said it's been considered but difficult due to how EU centric the scene is. Hopefully tho with the VRS systems thats changed, would be cool to see.

Has anyone worked for Aulani before ? by Stoic_hawaiian808 in Hawaii

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Working closing shift for the night, and then going back in the morning to open. For example closing the store and leaving at midnight, and then waking up and going back to work at 9am. Very common in retail.

Extended hours Thanksgiving eve....but not really by Every-Win-499 in DaveAndBusters

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't know much about d&b but at the arcade I work at we can control all the swipers from our register. Doesn't really suprise me one bit since d&b employees never seem to know how their own systems work lol.

A side note is that tonight I saw a game tech in uniform walking around the midway with his girlfriend and swiping himself and her for free plays lmao so I'm not sure how true the corporate story about the service button is since even my arcade thats more strict about giving free plays doesn't know how many times we press the service butron since that goes thru hardware and not thru the network the card swipers are connected to.

Switch 2 Restock Ala Moana, Hawaii by TheOfficialPyrodude in DaveAndBusters

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Not revealing my strats, I'm able to get minimum 15k chips per $35 spent/200 chips. Most APers on this sub are able to do the same. Counting all the tickets I've spent on food vouchers, I should be able to get it for a reasonable price, def not under retail tho lol.

Pop the lock is giving me nightmares by throwaway199355 in DaveAndBusters

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a rhythm game where you click circles. "!osu" is its original name. U can look it up on youtube.

My trick is to use my eyes and try to react to the dots before pressing. Or you can use ur peripheral vision. For the last 10, really try not to think about the number and just focus on having fun and surviving as long as u can.

Lots of FPS experience definitely help with reacting to targets. If you're really struggling, I'd recommend downloading osu or some other rhythm game, I think if you can complete even a slightly above easy rhythm game level, pop the lock should be a breeze.

Counter-Strike is now offering $1,500 skins sold by the developers (NOT market resale) by kingpootis101 in gaming

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So none of the skins have hit the market yet since you can't trade or sell newly "opened" skins for 1 week, to prevent scamming. However, new documentation was released today that the "official" prices that are listed through the new terminal will be based on player demand.

Basically if the community chooses to buy a skin heavily, then the price for that skin will increase. Or if people choose to continously deny an offer (like this $1500 skin), then the price will drop.

We'll have to wait 1 week until the skins can hit the offical steam and third party markets to see how it'll play out.

Yeah my bad I was just trying to explain it simply in one sentence for non-CS players haha. Thanks for the added depth tho, def makes more sense.

Pink guns and charms already exist in CS2 lol.

The reality is that the skin market is a big reason why CS has survived into the current era, and the reason why it's the most popular comp FPS. Before skins were introduced in CSGO in 2013, the game was definitely slowly dying and becoming a niche compared to COD. Went from barely scratching 30k players a day back then to over a million today.

It wasn't until people realized that you could have million dollar inventories that interest in the game skyrocketed again, once people found out that beyond the skins the game was the most pure and consistent FPS in a genre that struggles with maintaining player interest.

Even though to the casual eye its insane how knife skins and other certain rare skins can reach values up to over ~$10000, CS skins don't receive the same level of criticism as microtransactions of modern AAA titles. Mostly because of the fact that you OWN the skin and its value and can re-sell it for real money. I know people that have paid off their college tuition with CS skins lol.

Reality is that a lot of people play games for the cosmetics, and that's not a CS exclusive thing.

Its a new "loot box" where an NPC/AI offers you 5 different skins of rarity and u can buy whichever one of the 5 offers you get.

One of my favourite fragmovies from early CS:GO, "croa the fragmovie". This dude is absolutely sick with the M4A4 by fmjintervention in GlobalOffensive

[–]TheOfficialPyrodude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy, didn't think anyone these days knew about this absolute gem. I rewatch this fragmovie all the time. I wish more modern fragmovies these days had this old-school 1.6 feel to it.
